New York's Sports Loud Mouth

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the media world—
where hot takes are encouraged… until they’re too hot, and then suddenly it’s:
“Yeahhh we’re gonna need your badge, your laptop, and your opinions immediately.”
Enter Crissy Froyd, who just found out the hard way that working for USA Today Sports comes with one very important rule:
You can speak your mind… as long as it sounds like corporate approved it first.
Froyd, who for YEARS kept it lowkey—no drama, no nonsense, just vibes and journalism—decided one day to take the filter off when talking about Dianna Russini.
Now, she didn’t exactly send flowers.
She questioned Russini’s credibility and how she gets her info—basically saying what a lot of people whisper but never say out loud because they enjoy being employed.
And just like that…
BOOM. Pink slip faster than a Jets fourth-quarter collapse.
Freedom of Speech… Meet Freedom of “Pack Your Stuff”
Let’s clear something up real quick because people LOVE yelling this:
“BUT WHAT ABOUT FREEDOM OF SPEECH?!”
Yeah… that protects you from the government.
Not from your boss walking over like:
“Hey, love the passion… hate the lawsuit risk… you’re done here.”
So technically? Froyd had the right to say it.
And USA Today had the right to say:
“Cool story. You’re fired.”
That’s America, baby. Land of the free… and the unemployed.
The Media Game Is Not What You Think
Here’s where your boy Errol Marks keeps it real:
Everyone acts like media is about truth, honesty, and integrity.
HAHAHAHAHA.
No.
It’s about:
- Access
- Relationships
- Who texts you back
- And who leaves you on “seen” like your ex
Some people can drop nuclear takes and keep their job.
Others sneeze the wrong way and HR is already drafting the goodbye email.
That’s not conspiracy—that’s the industry.
Meanwhile… Where’d Everybody Else Go?!
Now here’s my favorite part of this whole movie:
Where is Mike Vrabel in all this?
My guy disappeared like he owed someone money.
Not a peep. Not a quote. Not even a “no comment.”
Just straight-up ghost mode.
And Roger Goodell?
Oh, he’s somewhere smiling like:
“As long as this doesn’t affect Sunday Night Football ratings, I see NOTHING.”
And Robert Kraft?
That man has mastered the art of surviving headlines.
He’s probably sitting back like:
“First time?”
The Real Reason This Blew Up
Let’s not kid ourselves.
This wasn’t just about what was said.
It’s about who said it… and who it was about.
Because in media, there are levels.
There are people you can criticize…
And there are people you better NOT touch unless you enjoy updating your résumé.
Froyd didn’t just cross a line—
she ran through it like it was a paper banner at a high school football game.
Listen… I get it.
When you’re grinding, putting in work, and you see other people flying up the ladder, it’s gonna bother you. That’s human.
But in this game? You gotta be smart.
Because the second your honesty costs the company something—
money, reputation, access—
They’re not gonna defend you.
They’re gonna DEFEND THE BRAND.
And you?
You’re just the episode they quietly remove from the series.
Crissy Froyd spoke her mind.
Now she’s got plenty of free time to keep doing it.
Lesson of the day?
In media, you can say whatever you want…
just be ready for what comes after.
Because not every hot take gets you famous.
Some just get you fired.

My name is Errol Marks and I’d like to tell you why I believe I can be a major asset to your station. I’m from a small town in Long Island, NY and from a very young age I’ve always had a love for sports talk radio. Growing up, I would listen religiously to shows like Mike and the Mad Dog, Mike and Mike, and Imus in the Morning and studied what made those shows so great. I’ve made it my goal to be as influential as the hosts I grew up listening to, and with my knowledge of all major sports, enthusiastic and fearless personality, and my preparation skills, I know I can get to that level. This is an art and a medium that I’m passionate about and one that I feel can never be replaced.
What makes my story so unique goes beyond my 10+ years of experience in sports media. In addition to over ten years of creating and hosting sports talk radio shows, I created the World Wide Sports Radio Network - one of the first ever digital sports radio networks - in 2012. Since the network began, we have had some of the best content in digital sports media. We have six quality shows on our network covering all sports and sports betting. I’m currently hosting New York’s Sports Loud Mouth, and you can find that show and the rest of our great shows at https://worldwidesportsradio.com/.
Our network’s content and listenership has grown significantly year to year and, in the past year, we’ve achieved 3.6 million minutes listened on our audio stream, over 29k followers on tik tok, 500k viewed on YouTube, 1.7 million downloads on Apple Podcasts, and 906,917 plays on Spotify. While we are enjoying a continued increase in growth, I feel that we can take this to a new level and a new audience with your help.
My goal since the day I started is to become the greatest and most recognizable sports radio show host in the country. I can guarantee that nobody in this industry currently has my passion, personality or ability to shape the future of sports broadcasting and entertainment like I do. If given the opportunity, I hope to further share my story and many talents with you and your station.
