Terry Elliot

[shox8498]

Yeah, the 20 years of NBC, the many years of calling games alongside of Mike, and the fact that Terry has made his living and become a productive citizen of this community should far outweigh one incident.

I haven't read the link yet, as soon as I post this.

Terry made the broadcasts for me, he is awesome, if he really got fired this is a shame. The guy is a great dude, knows baseball, and isn't afraid to point out the truth even if it is not what you want to hear.

What sad sad news.

Bummer

Once again, folks, read the article. He hasn't been fired; he just isn't doing games this weekend. Who knows; maybe he overspent his travel allowance in Stillwater... maybe he has been threatened in Fla... maybe he has a lot of back work that needs to be finished....

Don't jump to the conclusion he's finished. In fact, if he was fired, I'd expect them to send somebody else to do color with Mike.

[OregonShox]

Ok, I take it all back. He's apparently been fired.

Chan 3 says he was let go "in a dispute that Terry Elliot says he does not understand"

Bad move BGM, very bad move.

PS - How long until we hear him on 1410?

Unless this was something pretty bad, I'm pissed. Mr. Maness, this had better be for good reason.

[William]

Okay, I have a solution- wsu fires bgm, gets new company that hires kennedy and elliott. See all fixed.

[RoyalShock]

Disappointing. Perhaps WSU will grant the rights to someone else when the contract with BGM expires, assuming they think it's a big enough deal, which I expect they won't.

Dang.

Anybody have and address where we can flood an email box with complaints? The guy flat knows his stuff. Lets give them what for!

[SubGod22]

I smell and email campaign :D

I don't pay much attention to the sponsors but I'll have to start paying attention and make sure I avoid them like the plague. This is flat out wrong and to do it right before the end of the season for no apparent reason is ridiculous. Somebody failed Marketing 101. I hope it's not a WSU alumnus.

I don't really know anything about BGM Sports Marketing except for what little tidbits I can pick up during broadcasts of games. They have the absolute worst web presence of a company I may have ever seen.

I already emailed him saying I disapprove of the move, especially in the timing and the delivery. If T.E. did something worth being fired over, consult with your lawyers and come up with a way to say what it was over and get it out there. This secretive stuff is bad juju.

Anyways, after the weather cut out on 1330 earlier in the season, I welcome our new 1410 overlords.

[KBShocker]

Ok, I fired my email off. Lets hit them with another couple of hundred and see if they start squirming for excuses.

[ISASO]

I'd like to see how they find a better on-air replacement than Terry. Good luck with that.

Edit: E-mail sent along with a link to this thread. They deserve to see the impact of their decision and now the opportunity to make a good PR move is available to them.
