Wait, Cowboy games are going to be broadcast where?

This is SHOCKING news - the Cowboys radio broadcasts are moving from the oldies station at 98.7 (where they never fit, at least not to me) over to The Ticket and it's sister station, The Bone (93.3).

While I'm pleased as punch for the gang at The Ticket, who have provided me with countless hours of entertainment over the past decade plus, this is sort of mind-boggling. This is akin to Dick Cheney going to work for Air America.

No one delivers harsher criticism of the Cowboys than Mike Rhyner. No one makes more fun of Jerry Jones than The Great Gordo. The fact that The Ticket is not (as they like to tell you) "in the pocket of any of the local owners" has provided them with a lot of rope to mock the players, Jones, Parcells, and many other targets at Valley Ranch.

According to the press release and everything I've read (I'm traveling, so I completely missed the announcement and it's follow-up on the air), Big Dan Bennett has made it a point to reserve the right to continue the criticism and mockery unabated. Assuming that's true, this is potentially a great move.

But don't forget, Jerry got Hansen fired from the old KRLD broadcast because he didn't like the criticism Dale aimed at him.
