Radio Show Preview [11/2]

Wednesday, 5PM, Slope Radio

On this week's radio show, we will be covering an array of topics in the sports world, ranging from Tebow Mania and the media's role in creating hype, to the ongoing lockout situation in the NBA.

The rest of the topics after the jump.

Roid Rage

Tebow Time: Tim Tebow has perhaps been the most adulated and criticized player in recent memory despite just making 6 NFL starts. We will discuss the media's role in how he is perceived, the difficult situation this forces the Broncos into, and their commitment (or lack thereof) to the "Mile-High Messiah."

Ron Washington: We will talk about the mismanagement of his bullpen in the epic Game 6, as well as the decision to take out his closer, Neftali Feliz, in the bottom of the tenth with a series-clinching win on the line.

Isiah Thomas Award

The worst personnel decision of the week was made by Glen Sather and the management running the New York Rangers, exiling the controversial Sean Avery to the minors, then desperately bringing him back to the team, searching for a spark for a mediocre team. Avery is the Tebow of the NHL in terms of polarization.

Business Breakdown

We'll focus on West Virginia's law suit against the Big East in order to try to break away and join the Big 12 in football. This is the latest development in the changing landscape of college football, as major conference football programs play musical chairs in the pursuit of greater financial gain.
