Subject: WHBC, ESPN 990, Sportswriters, and a whole lot more............

Dirty Dawg: I think Ohio State is going to be good this year.
Keno Sultan: I never have liked Ohio State. Sure I like our Bulldogs, but I never have liked the Buckeyes.
Wild Fire: Keno, we have four of our Bulldogs playing for them and you're saying that you don't like Ohio State?

If anyone thought that was an eye opener, check this out:

Adam Studeny (sharply): Shut up, Keno! What has (Jim) Tressel done to you?
Keno Sultan: The guy, he----
Adam Studeny (even sharper) No, tell me! What has Tressel done to you?
Keno Sultan (taken back, then responds): I hate John Cooper, he can't win a big game, and here comes Tressel, a Massillon Tiger, and he gets Justin Zwick, and two Massillon Tigers make a wrong!

If that didn't wake anyone up, this one should:

Frank Warth: Keno, are you going to watch the Buckeyes game tomorrow?
Keno Sultan: Don't count on it, I really don't see the Buckeyes winning, let alone the Michigan game coming next week, far as I'm concerned.
Beverly Rieger: But we have four of our Bulldogs playing, and you don't think they will win?
Keno Sultan (taken back): No disrespect to our Bulldogs playing in the game, I just don't see a Buckeyes win, let alone our former Dawgs will play, but the others won't come to play.

All right, all right, all right, if I am disrespecting our future and former Bulldogs by any way with my dislike of Ohio State, my apologies. I know that several booster club members were shocked to learn that I did not like Ohio State, including Shoenfelt, Peloso, and several others. But then again I took a hammering from a Massillon person because of my ranting on why Ohio State would likely not win a national or Big Ten title and why Zwick and Tressel will be liable for OSU's downfall if they do not play in a BCS title game or a major BCS bowl game. Surely, I'll never forget that Wild Fire was somewhat stunned to hear me attest that I despised the Buckeyes and it was all out of the disrespect of my dislike of John Cooper and Jim Tressel----but NEVER ONE TIME DID I NOT SAY THAT I DID NOT LIKE OUR FORMER BULLDOGS because they played for OSU, let alone that I took a tongue lashing from Studeny on my remarks about OSU football, Zwick, and Tressel. I know I'll probably get hammered by that guy from Massillon again, or any other Bulldog, but sometimes, you have to be a man and take what reposes you will get, whether good or bad, it's all part of being a mass media major.
A Bulldog fan this past season told me not to go for an internship at WHBC claiming that Jim Johnson, who I have a great deal of respect for favors Massillon when they are in the playoffs in football. I really cannot take that to be true, he is a likable guy, and I listen to football and basketball telecasts on WHBC, including when I cannot make any McKinley games, this leads me into ESPN 990. I hear that the radio station to the west announces high school baseball games and that really caught my eyes vastly, including when I listened to the Ignatius-Tigers state semifinal football game (I could not get WHBC on my radio dial that night) and I really do like Ray Jeske, the soul and pride and voice of the Massillon Tigers. He is a pretty cocky person with a lot of confidence when he speaks, and his voice can be heard. I like his opinions on games and his zeal heightens my like for him. He and Jim Johnson are pretty likable guys, those two guys since they dominate sports will be the deciding factor for whatever radio station I opt to work for, BUT the X-factor will be the McKinley fans I have befriended the last several years, and I know they will hate to hear a Bulldog announcing on ESPN 990, so I SERIOUSLY will have to give a lot of thought on WHBC and ESPN 990. Sportswriters have become vehemently despised by Canton McKinley locals, it's been a darn good while now. And why? Because come time for the football picks, they always go against McKinley, well then again, I could be wrong, some do go for McKinley. But why the big emotional fuss over who the press is expected to pick? Is it all out of local and city reasons? Is it out of McKinley's tradition? Is it because of the likeness of the talents of the players and coaches on the field? Speaking of sportswriters, I met Canton Repository sportswriter, Todd Porter my senior year and gosh, I'll admit the truth, altough fans will hate me for it: I think he by far is the best writer in Ohio, and he does write some excellent, emotional, important, and intriguing stories, let alone I even took a picture with him and he gave me his autograph. But if all the cash counted most, and I was tied with the rest of the sportswriters, and it came down to McKinley-Massillon, both are 9-0, care to guess who I would pick, for all the cash in the bucket? Dang, it's a good thing Porter and Massillon Independent sportswriter Joe Shaheen don't face any pressure from the locals from football fans on their picks (Shaheen need not worry, Massillon treats him good, he picks Massillon for crying out loud)! But I have been taking some criticism from several Bulldog fans, students, elders, and others for talking to Porter, shoot on even caught me having a conversation with him at the First Down Showdown last season!
Last, I'll end with the Lewis-Tyson fight. If you saw the blood spattered mess Michael Gerard Tyson was in while on the canvas in an 8th round KO loss to Lennox Lewis, you know what McKinley will do to Massillon in week 10, with McKinley owning the strength of Lennox Lewis......beat them Tigers left and right for four quarters for 48 minutes!!!!

P.S. I had a lot on my mind to, oh shoot, the guy from Massillon is coming, I better prepare for my tongue lashing from this sadistic hooligan of a Tiger, GO BULLDOGS, NO FEAR!!!!!!!!
