Discovery have hired my good friend, Andrew Snyder, who is truly one of the great ones. Discoveryâs âer discovery is ESPNâs loss. Iâm sure heâll do really well there and above all, will help Joe Abruzzese move forward...
On a complete tangent, whatâs the deal with the trades who â when reporting on a new hire â mention that company A has âtappedâ person B. What exactly is a tap? Is it like a knighthood? Does Joe Torre tap a player when he has been called up to the Big Leagues?
To me, a tap (on the shoulder I would imagine) is a very subtle but underwhelming gesture. Why not a whack, a slap, a hug, a hoist, a toastâ¦I donât know, it just bugs me almost as much as a âpassâ (Iâll fill you in on that peeve another day, but sufficed to say, if Iâm pitching you, donât every tell me youâre passing as I will fail youâ¦or the very minimum call you out in Jaffe Juice)
