Earlier this afternoon, Detroit Sports 105.1 dolt Denny Kapp Tweeted out major props to fellow 105.1er Matt Dery. What exactly did “The Count” do to garner such praise from his colleague at the “If a tree falls in the woods…” station?
Here ya go!
How nice of Denny K(r)app to offer high praise to his co-worker. And even nicer of the official 105.1 Twitter account to re-tweet the message of commendation!
The problem is, this “great catch” was made by about 50 outlets 24 hours before Dery mentioned it. It blew up Twitter. The Free Press, Detroit News, Lansing State Journal, and MLive were just some of the news sources talking about Michigan State’s status as national title favorites.
This was a relatively big story in the Metro Detroit area. Last night, on the DSR Podcast, Jeff Moss and I discussed the Detroit Tigers press conference that is taking place this afternoon. Could you imagine if someone Tweeted, “Major props to @DarkoStateNews and @JeffMossDSR for pointing out Dave Dombrowski is speaking to the media this afternoon!”……??????
I am not sure which is worse, the fact Kapp had somehow not heard this story yesterday or the fact he heaped praise on Dery for unearthing a gem as rare and unseen as the sun at the equator.
To his credit, Dery quickly deflected the praise and pointed out the fact that he was merely discussing what had been widely discussed 24 hours earlier. Or? He re-tweeted the praise and offered no further clarification.
This town sucks, dawgs.
