Brian Collins Is A Free Agent

Monday, June 22, 2009


It's random how things work out during the day. Bob Costas says "BGTD" on-air, and then you find out the news that the original person who uttered the term....just got fired (frowny face). Brian Collins, of "Boom Goes The Dynamite" fame, has been let go from his job in Waco, Texas. From Deadspin....

Just two days after Bob Costas used Brian Collins' signature catch phrase, Busted Coverage published an item pointing out that Collins' days as a Waco newscaster might be over. We can confirm that Collins' gig has, indeed, been dynamited.

Collins' "Meet The Team" biography was taken down at KXXV-TV, the ABC affiliate where he worked, and the link to it is no longer active. Collins' last report is datelined May 15, and it was about six Texas car dealerships losing their Chrysler franchises.

When we called the station's newsroom and asked to speak with Collins, we were told that he "no longer works here." The polite woman who answered our call didn't know when he had left the station and had no further information about his future plans. (If you know anything more, please send it in to tips@deadspin.com.)
Please to be emailing awfulannouncing@gmail.com as well. One of these days, I will hunt you down Mr. Collins, and we will conduct the interview to end all interviews. Until then my friend....godspeed in your future endeavors.

Tatum Bell's Interview On The Dan Patrick Show

Friday, September 05, 2008

Dan Patrick had on Tatum Bell to discuss the whole Rudi Johnson Luggage incident this morning and I promised you yesterday that I'd get the audio for you to listen to and here it is.....



Man, it's really hard not to believe him after that and you have to feel bad for the guy. If it went down as he says, and was an accident, it would be a shame for his career to end on that note. Patrick was right though, that missing money and underwear is what's causing this whole thing to go on. If the other guy, or someone close to him, was the one who took it then he really need to call him out.

Oh and one more thing.....when Bell said, "I never had any baggage. I've never been in any trouble," right after the 3 minute mark, I almost lost it.
