On the DL Daily - Newsroom Changes and Punching Cartoons in the Face
Monday Morning. Welcome back to another week On the DL.
Today we talk about many things, including T.O., A-Rod, big news at The Washington Post, the lack of sleep, people on cell phones and punching cartoons in the face. Let’s get to the rundown.

Speculation Station: We talk about the news that Alex Rodriguez is having hip surgery and will be out for about two months. Why not have the surgery in October? And what about this blood test he was supposed to take for the WBC. When was that test administered? Did he take it, or was he able to avoid it because he’s not playing in the WBC. Could this surgery be an end around in hopes of avoiding the test (or the results). Is there a conspiracy afoot?
We also talk about the news that stories will be rolled out throughout the day, and not put online at once overnight as they have been. Will this cannibalize the newspaper? And what of the big-name columnists swooping in once a week or every few days to give their take on things. Does this move put them, and their hefty salaries, on notice?
We also talk about the upcoming makeover for Dora the Explorer. She’s all growns up. Is this as big a deal as parents are making it? And why do I want to punch Diego in the face?

Nick’s “Get off my lawn” rant of the week is about people talking on their cell phones while in line. He wants to punch THEM in the face. (Note: we were sent this the other day -- Nick may want to curtail the yelling at these people. They are maniacs).
Housekeeping: Send us your 60-second rants, and we plug some of the interviews we’ve been doing including one for Fanhouse (link coming soon) and one with 16-year old Alex Reimer. Also, big hoops week coming up for us.
Oh, and I try to figure out a way to give our listeners free beer.
Thanks as always. Sorry the show is so long. Blame Diego.
