Sports Radio Fading Fast, Announcer Gets Fired, De Niro Melts Down, TKC's Guide to Stay Alive, Royals are Clutch-less, Caitlin Pops for 30

   Two new studies show a mass migration from radio to podcasting and the biggest losers seem to be AM sports radio stations.  But these stations are doing absolutely nothing to help themselves as they've become stale, stat driven and safe.  In other words, the total opposite of online content.     We take a deep dive into sports talk as an announcer is fired after some hot mic comments were put out over the internet by 810 Varsity.  Toby Moore was just being real and that's a No-No with these folks.  I mean, you can literally lose your voice and stay on the air as long as you just keep saying a bunch of safe, liberal platitudes even though your audience is decidedly conservative.  It's just crazy.    Robert De Niro has a fun meltdown outside the Trump courtroom that was as real as real gets.  It's not reading movie lines off a script and this gangster failed miserably.    www.tonyskansascity.com is real in every way and has published a piece that's just brilliant.  It's a guide on how to not get shot and killed in Kansas City.  Now we are talking.    Three games, three losses and three games where the Royals can't deliver in the clutch.  These 9th inning, almost won the game moments are piling up.   Caitlin Clark pops for 30 in the WNBA but our Final Final is about another female pro athlete I've decided to follow on X for all the wrong reasons.  Except she's real.
