showdown 0 Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Just saw this guy the other night on WNYW Fox 5. Is it me, or does he look like a total tool box! That news is a joke anyway, but this guy looks like he belongs in Butte, Montana doing the local tractor pull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbs2news 0 Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 WNYW should not have gottten rid of John Discepolo. He was a professional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TellyGenic 32 Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 And Johnny D. was far easier on the eyes than Duke. Duke used to be OK back when he was on NY1 but somehow that doesn't work as well on Fox5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuitSnob 19 Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Duke is not bad (save for the sloppy tie knots) but I have no idea what FOX5 was thinking canning him. What goes through management's mind when they fire a qualified, talented personality and then they just go to another station and thrive (The Reid Lamberty Syndrome)?

showdown 0 Posted August 9, 2007 Author Share Posted August 9, 2007 Duke comes across as extemely arogant and tries way too hard to sound like a sports guy. He belongs somewhere in Missouri or Kentucky. I can't take him seriously at all. But then again, that newscast on Fox 5 is a joke too! Now Fox 5 does have some & did have some eye candy, but some of their hires have been extremely questionable.... i.e. Duke. BTW - What kind of name is Duke???

TellyGenic 32 Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 And isn't his father Joe Sr. a big-name beloved sportscaster in Boston? Sort of their answer to Warner Wolf?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
