To the bashers you try and fill in a two or three hour slot on television by yourself, it's not an easy thing to do. There's a reason talk radio is so successful compared to using the other media outlet called television for the same format.
Look how many posters on here get bent out of shape being bashed just once on here. Multiply that by a magnitude of at least a thousand times for a really minor station like TVG and his performance rating is pretty extraordinary.
Next thing someone will post is they like when a person from TVG prefers to dress up as a giraffe.

I don't understand this - it's like comparing apples and oranges (or apples and prunes). I'm not sure the reason talk radio is successful is because it's on radio - may have something to do with the content (or lack thereof  ). Heck a buncha radio shows are 'simulcast' on TV - why I have no idea...
It should be fairly uncomplicated to fill 3 or even 8 hours - it's called content. I'd have no problem with him spending hours on reviewing trip handicapping or whatever. There's a ton of info one can spend too much time on in this sport - just ask my wife!

That what makes this station a complete joke, no replay , no I'm sorry, just screw you and like it. NO CLASS, THAT IS TVG.

The dude is a Shakespearean actor for Chrissakes - can't he act like he likes his job?
As I stated before...there is a reason Perloff gets Mon & Tues and Matty gets weekends.

Don't be fooled and make the exception into the rule, love.
Perloff is rarely on during the wknd - and maybe his appearance has to do with Cassidy being at Mth and some other TVG personalities being at DMR.
Do you think they would send Rich anywhere for an offsite ?
Me neither...he and the Sarge are fill-ins during this time.

I am generally VERY happy...and I would be even happier if I didn't have to deal with idiots.
I suspect Perloff would as well...

I am not speaking selfishly when I say that the game has lost its luster for me. It's not that I am unhappy with my own results; I am infuriated with the path that the game is on as a whole.
Today...the game is a mere shadow of what it could be...if only there was a little "unity" and a little true leadership.

If it is his idea to read the email, then he should stop.
If he HAS to as part of his job, he should realized those people are CUSTOMERS and treat them with some respect.
As a handicapping personality, I respect his opinions. As a person, I think he is seriously lacking in character. Being a jerk towards you customer is never acceptable. I am sure TVG could find a civil replacement as good as he is if they looked.

Exactly - you and me Tom - we good in the horseracing threads; not so much in Off Topic
Well, it looks like the warmup act has left the stage and the headliner hosts (see, Matty) will be on for the meat of the cards.
