JAMES CARVILLE AND LUKE RUSSERT TO HOST NEW SPORTS TALK SHOW EXCLUSIVELY FOR XM SATELLITE RADIO


And what an exciting show this is going to be:

"This show will be another opportunity for me to engage in the back-and-forth debates on sports that, until now, Luke and I have limited to the stadium," said James Carville. ...Scheduled to debut in March 2006, the hour-long show will air weekly on XM Satellite Radio. Additional program details will be announced prior to the show's debut.
"James and Luke's amazing chemistry and energy will entertain XM's millions of listeners, even those that don't count themselves as die-hard sports fans," said Eric Logan, executive vice president of programming for XM Satellite Radio.


What are Luke's qualifications for the job?

Luke Russert is currently a sophomore at Boston College. An avid sports fan, by the time he was 16, he had attended two Super Bowls, a World Series, five Major League Baseball (MLB) All-Star Games, an NBA final, four NBA All-Star Games, two NCAA Final Fours, an NHL Stanley Cup Final, a U.S. Open and The Preakness Stakes. A graduate of St. Albans School in Washington, D.C., where he played football and baseball, Russert worked for the highly-rated ESPN program "Pardon the Interruption" during the summer of 2005.
Oh, also, his dad is Tim Russert.

So many questions...

Carville hinted at this yesterday on Meet The Press but wouldnt say who his partner would be. Of course Mary Matlin slid one of her books across the desk to Russert and said something to the effect of "Give this to your son Tim so he can get some ballance..." Ooops.

Should be interesting for Carville at least. Dude can blather on about anything and I'm sure he has some pretty interesting sports opinions....

Bad idea for XM. They always seem to go for second or third rate when it comes to exclusive talent. They should be doing everything they can to bring in more estalished names like Rush, Rome, etc. that people can recognize. James Carville and Tim Russert's son talkin' sports? Who is going to sign-up for that?

Who's going to sign up for oxy-Rush? He's on half the radio stations in the country. Why would anyone pay to hear that right-wing mouth piece?
 
I have to admit, I started wondering if this was a hoax...I saw something about it Monday while scanning FMQB.com, but have yet to see anything in the "Newsroom" section of XM's site...Usually when something's up on FMQB, I find it's already on XM's site or is posted within the next day. Probably shouldn't read anything into that, but I thought it was odd anyway.
