As a P1, nothing has been a bigger mystery about The Ticket than the story of The Hardline. We all know bits and pieces, maybe some inside humor, or something personal about the hosts themselves. Richie Whitt, of the Dallas Observer, wrote a riveting story called “The Hard Lie”. It’s the tell all story behind the Greggo / Ticket breakup. He did not fall short of his pre-story blog posts!

The story comes from all sides and is told in a very equal tone. Nothing is held back, well, except for the comments of most of The Ticket hosts who declined to be interviewed. None of them really needed to be involved in the story except one person, in my opinion; Corby. Walking away from this entire story I am shaking my head at how crazy the Hammer had become with drug use, lies and lack of respect to his friends and co-workers, but the one thing that really sticks in my head is how Corby handled things. Seems it might have been a good idea to have Corby’s side of things since this appears to be the hardest part for Greggo and kind of paints a bad picture of Corby.

Do yourself a favor and read “The Hard Lie”.

Richie Whitt from the Dallas Observer has been making all of our mouths water about his upcoming feature that paints a clearer picture behind the story of Greg Williams leaving The Ticket. There’s no doubt The Hardline has had an unfair advantage to steer the story in their favor. According to Richie Whitt, this story should let us see both sides and hear their true thoughts. Whitt has made several pre-story blog posts and while the printed copy is in some locations, most of us are still in the dark.

These are Whitt’s blogs:

This was the first one I read about the upcoming Greggo vs Ticket story.

Then Richie makes a post that, as he puts it, is like a movie trailer for “The Hard Lie”.

Hopefully this isn’t a complete oversell, but President Bush is interested in Greggo!

As soon as it’s in front of my eyes, I’ll post a follow up. Extremely interested!
