butch stearns replaced by a watch and/or phone

in this morning's herald, jessica heslam (yum) gives butch stearns the opportunity to remind potential employers that he was not let go due to performance and also to show that he's hip to new media:

“I can’t speak for Fox, but the reason I was let go was not performance-related,” Stearns said.

butch tells the herald: “Right now, I can get my information on my watch or on my phone. Things are so immediate now that the job of a TV sportscaster has changed dramatically.”

so butchie thinks he's gone because people can get sports news from a phone?  i'm not sure i'm following butch's math here...but from this statement, he clearly has as firm a grasp on new media as he does on plagiarism.



yup. butchie is a regular web 2.0 visionary.  we here at the anchor can't wait for further details on the planned launch of butchstearns.com.  i can see the pitch now: "come to the site of a guy who's out of work as a result of the evolution of how sports information is now accessed and consumed."



BTW - as of this morning, it appears that the butchstearns.com domain is parked at go daddy and available for purchase.

<< update: butch now has a landing page up.  >>


jessica's article also reports that butch has already "interviewed and met with dozens of people about his next step over the past five to six weeks."


at the plush offices of the anchor - all fingers are crossed for our pipedream of butchie (or anyone) replacing ass clown gerry callahan at weei.  then it's one hateful turd down and one gin-bloated douchebag to go. 



butchie, while you're no don gillis or bob lobel - you're no zip rezzipa or bob gamere either.

why do i always feel the need to grab the purell after typing the name "bob gamere"?


butchie's last segment is this thursday.
