It’s a slow news day here at the DSR, so I figured I would post a couple of brilliant Tweets from Terry Foster on Thursday.
Here is Fraudster’s response to a question from a DSR contributor regarding 105.1 scooping 97.1 on the Prince Fielder off-the-field issues story:
@TommyHodge@MikeValenti971 how are we losers when we have the top rated show 7 years running? Interviews do not get ratings

Interviews do not get ratings. Interviews do not get ratings.
It’s an odd comment since, for the first time in what seems like years, 97.1 decided to interview an “insider” this morning — Benedict (Doug Karsch) and the Whale (Scott Anderson) had Dave Birkett join them on their mid-day show.
Yep. Just 72 hours after Detroit Sports 105.1 went to the airwaves with a flood of interviews, “The Ticket” gave a guest spot to the Free Press Detroit Lions beat writer. I am sure this was just a coincidence.
Of course, according to Foster, interviews don’t get ratings. Because who gives a fuck about a quality product? Just provide lowest common denominator broadcasting by turning your airwaves over to a bunch of mouth-breathing brain-dead morons who have nothing better to do than call a radio station and wait on hold for 45 minutes to discuss a subject with a lazy-eyed virgin.
I am sure that when Tom Bigby heard about the Birkett interview he rolled over in his grave.
(Oh, he isn’t dead?)
It is incredible how quickly the new FM sports station in town has gotten into the existing channel’s kitchen.
But our correspondent wasn’t done with Foster. He elicited this amazing revelation out of the jackass.
@Won13Three I don’t get credit when I break stories on the air. So why should I?

Foster doesn’t get credit for breaking stories, so why should he give anyone else props? Is this the kind of life lesson Foster is teaching his children? You don’t have to do the right thing if nobody else does? Are you shitting me? First of all, what news has Foster broken?
That fructose is bad for your health?
Let’s go back about a week, when everyone from Jason Whitlock to Tony Reali to Michael Wilbon credited Foster for the Louis Delmas/Tony Scheffler N-Word/Cracka story. Did this douche bag already forget that?
It’s only 6:30pm, so I am guessing Foster isn’t done saying stupid shit. Check back later for additional asinine Tweets from Foster.
