Bobby Valentine joins NBC Sports Radio

http://t.co/RpQENtdu

8BV曾開玩笑(威脅)說要揍NBC旗下的WEEI主持人Glenn Ordway。但是在滾蛋的三個月之後
，8BV將要加入NBC Sports Radio陣容，開設一個個人、每日播送的運動談話節目。

節目會在四月開播，如果你人在波士頓的話可以收聽1510 AM。過渡期間暫定每週開放
叩(ㄍㄢˋ)應(ㄑㄧㄠˊ)。

雖然他有過失態，但是NBC覺得他有豐富的主持經驗(ESPN)所以決定收他。

後面的言論不想翻，純上色。

During the final weeks of his lone, tumultous season as Red Sox manager,
Bobby Valentine semi-jokingly offered to punch WEEI host Glenn Ordway "right
the mouth" for suggesting he'd given up on the season.

Three months after Valentine was fired following 69 wins, 93 losses, and
countless controversies as the Red Sox manager, he's gone from sparring --
verbally, that is -- with sports radio hosts to becoming one.

NBC Sports Group will announce Monday that Bobby Valentine is joining the NBC
Sports Radio roster. He will host his own daily sports-talk program on the
network, heard in Boston on 1510 AM, beginning in April. In the interim, he
will make weekly call-ins to network affiliates.

The news of Valentine's new job was first reported by Sports Illustrated's
Richard Deitsch.

“I think in my years here on earth, I have let people know I have an opinion
about pretty much everything,” Valentine told Sports Illustrated. “I think
I will remain true to that.”

The groundwork for Valentine to join NBC Sports Radio was laid less than
three weeks after he was fired by the Red Sox. During an interview with
"Costas Tonight" host Bob Costas that was recorded October 22 and aired the
next day -- an interview that generated more controversy when Valentine said
injured designated hitter David Ortiz "decided not to play anymore" after the
Red Sox' trade with the Dodgers in late August -- Valentine was approached by
a network executive with the idea of hosting his own show.

Given the disdain he showed for the genre during many of his weekly
appearances on WEEI last season -- including the aforementioned contentious
back-and-forth with Glenn Ordway in September -- the sports-radio path might
seem a surprise.

But Valentine has extensive electronic media experience, most recently as an
analyst for ESPN's "Sunday Night Baseball" before taking the Red Sox job.
With ESPN lukewarm at best about any possibility of bringing him back, it's a
reasonable opportunity, and one he said he's looking forward to approaching
with candor.

"If I have a fault, it's that I tell the truth,'' he told Sports Illustrated.
"You can't dictate to the customer what they want and I think a good host
feels his audience and understands what they want and need and tries to
provide it."

Valentine does have a couple of crucial characteristics of sports-talk host.
He can talk a good game, and he's willing to defend his point of view.

“I think the only time I had a problem with someone on the other side of the
microphone is when they crossed over the personal line or they were totally
incorrect in whatever they were representing,'' he said. "I am going to try
and not get personal. And I’m also going to try to be correct as often as
possible.”
