What is the deal with this Ric Renner's hair piece on FSHouston High School Scoreboard show??? Aside from him appearing to be the biggest tool in the toolshed, that raccoon on his head makes it very difficult to concentrate on any factual information which may or may not be coming from his mouth.

Is there not ANYONE else that fox could find to carry the high school sports wrap-up?

I agree with you about Renner's delivery.  He just gets all over me.  I'm thinking he's the network's head guy's "Brother-in-law."  But  . . .  that hair is REAL.  He can't just get a hair cut, he has to have it harvested.  I have a good friend with hair like that.  Back in the day, it made for a great flat top. :D 8)

Why is he the one chosen?  This thread is an example.  We are talking about him, which means we watched.  And because we are talking about him, others who have yet to tune into their scoreboard/wrapup show (if there is anybody left who hasn't) will tune in if nothing else but to view this guy we have been talking about.

And the worst part is that they figure that after we view it once, no matter what we think about how horrible Ric Renner is, we will continue to tune in because it is, after all, about high school football in Texas.  And they are probably right.

Very true...He's definitely not going to be mistaken for anyone else...Everyone knows who he is and thus the brand he represents...

He used to get on my nerves however I've almost come to like him....When you think of television HS football highlights/coverage he's one of the first people that come to mind....Lots of people have grown up watching him deliver highlights and that type of recognition and brand loyalty has probably made him firmly entrenched for as long as he wants....

He somewhat reminds me of the late Marvin Zindler of Houston ABC news...When I moved to Houston from out of state years ago the first thing I thought was "who and what is this guy?" He seemed absurd and over the top...After figuring out what he was all about and his revered status among many Houstonians I found myself almost entertained with some of his on the air antics...The hair, glasses, outlandish suits, chasing people down and making them uncomfortable and coercing them to do the right thing (most of the time) along with his "slime in the ice machine" reports almost become enjoyable to watch....I wouldn't watch the broadcast just to see him but if I happened to be flipping thru the channels and he was coming up I sure wasn't going to change it....

You've usually got to have something that makes you stand out from your competitors and both of these guys have/had that (whether you personally cared for it or not)

I agree with you, we will continue to watch...but only because it's really the only game in town.  Which is no excuse for hacks like him to be on the air.  Coca Cola is still the number on soft drink manufacturer, but is also the number one advertiser of their products because they know someone will sneak up and take market share...Fox SW should take notes and get someone we can stomach listening to in there

Craig Way, on the other hand, is great.  I've worked with him for years and that guy is an encyclopedia of Texas HS Football...but Renner is like a caracature that's there to entertain, when he acutally just makes me want to slam my nuts between my cupboard doors

      West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin leaves Democratic Party, registers as independent

      By tvc184 · Posted

      Manchin may get it but any mention of the radical left that wanted to get rid of the filibuster and end almost 220 years of history because the Democrats are mad?  The House and Senate are obviously different legislative bodies with entirely different election processes and rules for a reason. The House can vote on laws with a simple majority vote. The Senate put rules in place that it would make it much tougher to pass laws. Laws should be difficult to pass. The Senate is often the holdup of the right and left. It takes 60 votes to break the filibuster so any law will almost certainly require agreement at least in part, from opposing sides of an issue. Because they can’t get laws passed, the radical left is like a baby having a tantrum and wants to change over 200 years of history and make it potentially ridiculously easy to pass laws. I have seen current poll maps and it is possible for the Republicans to sweep into complete power in November but by the tiniest margin. That would possibly mean that a single vote margin in both houses could enact what you might call the radical right laws. There would be nothing that the Democrats could do to stop any legislation whatsoever if the left (they are all radical, minus Manchin) got their filibuster rule changed.  That is where the current filibuster comes into play as any new law would require several Democrats to agree with the majority Republicans and vice versa.  Do you want the potential for your radical right to have free rein as the radical left wants by killing the filibuster or is the radical left just as (if not more) dangerous? Let’s see if we have a history in this area? Oh yeah, the Democrats changed the rules in the Senate to allow federal judges to not have to overcome the filibuster. Obama was not getting his federal judge nominations passed and being angry, they changed the rules instead of nominating more moderate justices. They were warned that it would come back to bite them. They didn’t care and chose the nuclear option to change the rules. Oops! Any guess how Trump got all of his Supreme Court nominees passed against strong Democrat opposition? The Democrats got rid of the filibuster for federal judges after another tantrum   So when you are so worried about the radical right, are you equally concerned in what the radical left is always doing by changing rules and history which were put into place just for situations like we are in? So while Manchin gets it, what about his other 50 colleagues (49 + Harris)?  What concerns you more, Abbott and Paxton or the Democrats who want to make it to where if the Republicans do take over, they can go wild… at least in your mind?

      MODS please remove that ISD twitter link! I had no idea it would copy the whole posting. I only highlighted the portion about the venue change. Sorry about that!
