Wait, The Ticket Has Core Values?

​I know. Too easy. Actually, I'm not about to get all self-righteous and call 1310 AM The Ticket hypocritical. In fact, I'm shocked that producer/host Mike Bacsik's Twitter posts on Mavs-Spurs Game 4 warranted a suspension and not a gold star. Not because they weren't, as the s ... More >>

Girls 61, Boys 44

Mike Rhyner actually drained this 3-pointer. The rest of Team Ticket's night was considerably suckier. One player wore low-top running shoes and - duh - sprained his ankle. A guy in only a diaper was escorted out by security. And, in the end, the teen-aged girls reduced the mid ... More >>
