Worst of retitled?

Is this part of the "media destination" shit they've been talking about? Rebranding it as the best of to give a positive appeal to it? Because that's fucking dumb

Where did you see it? Personally I always thought the 'Worst Of' thing was hokey.

Agreed. It was ok in the 90s, etc. but it did reek of something they'd skewer on Jocktober. Everyone does best of, you know what, we're doing WORST of, GET IT???

No matter how correct you are, that won't stop the rage from the idiot fans.

It's been on the SiriusXm website for two weeks now.
"O&A Best of the Week
Saturdays 6 pm, Sundays 6 am and 9 pm ET"

At the beginning of today's show instead of their usual "worst of" production is sounded like a generic SiriusXM produced piece referring to it as the best of

If Sabean is really making them refer to it as a 'Best Of' he is really going Balls Deep with shaking things up. Probably just an oversight in the audio the copy they sent to Stacy Keach.

It has been renamed on the Sirius schedule and website for the last three weeks.
It's Sabean's MO. React to any situation in the most literal, clueless, not-getting-it, way possible.
The boys fuck off at ten and don't wait for Oliver Stone to appear, make the show finish at 10:30.
Shatner tweets "What?" to an O&Ashow tweet about a Worst Of lineup where he's @ mentioned, rename the show to Best Of.
He's a dildo.

Yes, yes it is.
So what's it matter to you?

Maybe the old name caused confusion for some people, especially new listeners, and the change doesn't effect the content of it at all.
1 creep_boot 2014-01-21
If something that simple confused them, then they are thick fucking clueless cunts and shouldn't be listening to the show.
How the fuck would they understand the mechanics of the show, or what was being said, if a Best Of called Worst Of blew their circuit breakers.
Let's keep scraping the bottom of this barrel, the lowest common denominator has to be down here somewhere. No such thing as too much dumbing down, the more the better, let's turn O&A into fucking GMA. #MediaDestination.

The title change literally has no effect on you, if it helps a few retarded new listener truckers then it is good.
4 creep_boot 2014-01-21
What? You think that's the end of changes.
Sabean is employed as a Senior Vice President, I hardly think changing the title of a weekend compilation marks the completion of his ambitions here.
This is the start of the end, not the end of the start.
And the namechange has fuck all to do with truckers (although nice uncalled-for slam on the working class), it was because a celeb got confused as to why they were listed on a worst of 2013.
That is specfically what this fucking horseshit is about, Sabean more concerned about appeasing vacuous celebrity B Listers and LA PR spunkbubbles, and willing to happily jetison O&A tradition as if it counts for nought.
This was your wake-up call, you now have zero excuse for acting surprised at whatever the cunt has got planned next.

I actually always thought the name "Worst of" was incredibly hacky. Your local jocks would title their repackaged bits "worst of" to sound "edgy." Either come up with a fresh idea of just call it best of.
-6 creep_boot 2014-01-21
Correct, ironic self-deprecation like this caused confusion for bewildered celebs and their repellent PR handlers.
That cunt Sabean needs to be hung upside-down from a street lamp with some piano wire.

Ya, we should literally murder the man for getting rid of the term "Worst".

Do you think there may have been some exaggeration for the purpose of comedic effect. Did that most basic or rudimentary thought even begin to occur to you?
A historical reference, a humorous visual image: middle management oxygen thieves swinging in 48th Street. The deliberate construction of this imagery in a specific disagreement with this shambolic cunt's patent mismanagement of the station and its identity.
Any of this get through that skull of yours. You are talking like a not-fucking-getting-it dumb caller right now.
Go phone the show everytime Norton demands Ant blow his brains out, or that Bob Kelly should be dragged to his death behind a train, or Vos should be set on fire.
You clearly want everyone to post bland plain-vanilla statements of basic fact with zero embellishment or exaggeration. Aren't you concerned if everyone posts like that, if that is all that is here, no-one will be able to distinguish your hole contribution to this discussion. "Now, guys!"
Otherwise, keep sleep-walking and tacitly defending management. It's supposed to be Attack On The Media, that is what the show was fucking built on ... not bend-backwards to provide a tame, surprise-free, zero scope for irony or self-depreecation, safe-landing for the media and it's celeb PR shitstains. Good luck making a four-letter acronym out of that.
This was a decision that was actively made. Sabean looked at the show title, and changed it. That is information. It is illustrative. It informs us, the supposed fans of the show, it describes the inner thinking and motivations of the person who now controls the Opie & Anthony show.
In the meantime, stand by your computer for a fake apology and my enrolment in language sensitivity training ... and fucking wait. The cunt should be gassed in a suspiciously over-engineered shower-block.
