Fisher King September 29, 2015 Share September 29, 2015 (edited) I wouldn't discount Bitsy's earnings from her gluten-free hawkings. It was just about that time that the market exploded with people who were gluten-intolerant and I read several boards where it's an issue today. I would think that FAUX only allowed more people to adhere to that because of her addition to the morning zoo. JMO - I have not checked any sources. ____________________________________ Edited September 29, 2015 by Fisher King 1 Link to comment
Mumbles September 29, 2015 Share September 29, 2015 It depends on whatever deal Bitsy got. If she has a flat "endorsement" deal that's one thing. If she gets a piece of the action that's another. (It drives me crazy when people claim that Jessica Simpson or Bethany Frankel are multimillionaire genius businesswomen when it turns out they just license their brand/name to someone who makes the big bucks.) That said, I know people who claim to have some sort of gluten intolerance and they have never heard of the crap she's shilling. I've seen them here and there at drugstores but they don't seem like huge sellers. Does anyone know if they're any good, or popular among folks with that intolerance? Link to comment

CattyTiger September 30, 2015 Share September 30, 2015 ESPN is cutting jobs and salaries all over the place, and he didn't work all that much there to begin with. I think it's a money issue. And goodness knows it's way too much house, but appearance is everything of course. 1 Link to comment
Mumbles September 30, 2015 Share September 30, 2015 ESPN is also notorious for being super-cheap if you're not a star. And Tim is not a star. Interesting thing about the Zillow listing now is that it claims that the house was last sold in February 2000. Not true. I wonder if that is an attempt to mislead people about the Hasselblechs' ownership. 1 Link to comment

I wonder if that is an attempt to mislead people about the Hasselblechs' ownership. You have to look deeper under the price and tax history section of both listings, the old and the new, to piece together the sales history on the house. It looks like it was in foreclosure when Tim and Bitsy bought it at auction in 2012 for $4.2M. 4 Link to comment

It's like she just loves to antagonize people just for fun. Seems like this is Bitsy's way of staying relevant. After all, she was taught by that puppetmaster Bill Geddie to "make sparks" and, even though she is no longer under his tutelage, is carrying his teachings forward. He really was her Svengali, wasn't he? I wonder how much they are still in contact, because you darn well know they are. Cutesy little postings such as her Instagram are just incendiary enough to keep her in the columns and keep us talking about her and her motives. Yet they're also just innocent enough that she can claim it's just us ol' heathen liberals who are misreading and misinterpreting her intentions. She's a sly one, that Bitsy, and I put nothing past her as she feigns her innocence. 7 Link to comment

Elisabeth never positioned herself as a political commentator or analyst or whatever term Ann Coulter and people like her are called. EH always tried to make it seem like she was just a talk show host who happened to be a conservative Republican. IMO she was a conservative Repbublican who just happened to be a talk show host. She always had an agenda. And now she is pushing her agenda with pictures of crafts. I mean seriously?

None. Nada. http://nypost.com/2007/07/24/the-survivor/ She's an empty head in an empty poly-cotton sheath dress. That is a great article, Mumbles. I remember it from when it first came out, and I remember the time period it references with regard to her initial disinterest in politics. Her being so rabid now doesn't really surprise me, because I equate it to a former smoker/drinker who attempts to destroy the enjoyment of those who wish to still partake, or the vegan/vegetarian who meat-shames their dinner partners on every possible occasion. (I'm not saying this is true of all non-smokers/non-drinkers, or all vegan/vegetarians, so if you are one, please don't take offense.) From experience, no-one sucks the life out of a gathering more than one of those "reformed". Bitsy's dream would be for everyone to be just as pure, wonderful, smart, informed, etc., as she and Timmy are, and she's incapable of tolerating those who disagree.

I have always wondered if what we see of Elisabeth is real or if it's a face she puts on to get paid. The article said she liked to read the opinion section of articles--that would explain a lot. She likely read them so she could find the most offensive, inflammatory comments she could say on TV to get attention and make sparks. No place is more crazy that an article comment section. I really have no idea if she's somebody else under the veneer, and I doubt we'll ever know for sure about that. Either way, I think she's one of several who helped turn the word "conservative" into something so far right as to be insane. For me, Elisabeth is to Barbara what Dr. Phil is to Oprah. Just--what have you unleashed upon the world? Edited October 2, 2015 by TheGreenKnight 5 Link to comment

Just--what have you unleashed upon the world? I do think being the "conservative" cohost is what got Elisabeth attention. It became her thing. I mean what else did she have to offer? Before Rosie came on Elisabeth kinda blended into the woodwork. I can remember Regis Philbin referring to her as the young one. But when she started shooting her mouth off about politics the media started reporting it and lo and behold here we are today with her ensconced at Fox News. Does she believe what she says? Maybe. But in all honesty does it matter? Whether she is being real or playing a part she is one nasty hateful shrew. 6 Link to comment

Personally I dont think she formed her own ideas about what is right and wrong..... but she was taught.... and Elisabeth learned well.... I doubt she could hold her own in a discussion with most people in this forum.... but she has learned the art of the talking point and sound bite.... she was always able to play the victim. 6 Link to comment

He was capital-C Conservative, but so much more educated & honest than most politicians (then or now) -- & socially liberal (women, blacks, & gays are entitled to equal rights), & he deplored the prospect of the "religious right" taking over the GOP. He'd be appalled at the likes of Bitsy presuming to speak for true conservatives. 5 Link to comment

The original listing: http://www.zillow.co.../57312626_zpid/ The way I even saw it in the first place is because there was an article with the headline that they were selling. Curiosity got me, and there you have it. So, the address is "undisclosed" now, but it was there. I wonder who is to blame for that?? Very interesting....

But this morning, a few hours before it was announced that Matt would in fact start, Tim put Matt on his fantasy team. As a result? He is being investigated by the SEC for insider trading.

RogerFromOhio October 5, 2015 Share October 5, 2015 Oh.... and just for the record..... I put Tim Hasselbeck on my Fantasy Football team because I heard Andrew Luck was going to be benched for his injury. Because of his age and not starting in a while... I traded him back out for Miami's Quarterback instead. So my point is... they made it public that Luck was not starting before the game started..... it was a cute joke Link to comment
Mumbles October 5, 2015 Share October 5, 2015 Not to defend Tim, but a few Google searches reveals that Luck's injury and whether Matt Hasselbeck would be covering for him was a hot topic of discussion among fantasy sports afficiandos all last week. He might have known his brother was getting the call a few hours before everyone else, but this was something that people in that community were discussing for days and a lot of people put Matt Hasselbeck on their teams as a result. It just didn't happen out of the blue. And if someone wants to be in a fantasy football league playing against a guy with ESPN connections, then they assume the risk. Caveat emptor. 2 Link to comment
