Soft: 94.1 WIP postpones tennis match between Jack Fritz and Joe DeCamara because it’s hot outside

This will be the softest headline you’ll read all day: “94.1 WIP Postpones Tennis Match Due to Heat.”

Unfortunately, that’s what happened. The long-hyped tennis match between Joe DeCamara and Jack Fritz, two grown men who’ve built an entire radio bit around being “athletes”, has officially been postponed because it’s a little too sunny out.

JUST IN: Today’s Joe vs Jack tennis match has been postponed due to the heat. We will announce the rescheduled date in the near future. https://t.co/uekH10aGbn

Nobody expected Federer vs. Nadal out there. I watched these two play golf and it turned out to be an absolute nightmare. We just wanted a couple of clips of two delusional radio personalities smacking tennis balls at each other for the sake of content.

Instead, we got a few tweets from the 94.1 WIP social team basically saying “the weather is frightfully warm, we must delay our sporting festivities.”

That’s soft. Obviously. Over at the NovaCare Complex, here’s what Jalen Hurts is saying.

It’s 95 degrees in Philly with 50% humidity.

Definitely hot but at the same time, it’s late July. Sure. This is supposed to be the Dog Days of Summer. You can’t cancel a bit, one you’ve spent weeks hyping up, because the sun decided to do its job.

Hell, there are 80-year-olds playing pickleball right now in Bala Cynwyd.

If WIP is serious about competing for content, someone needed to step up and say, “It’s an hour. Film the match. Post it. Let’s go viral.” Instead, we got excuses. Go figure.

Joe DeCamara is claiming this was a call from WIP Management

Sorry our tennis match got postponed. While I was looking forward to playing @JackFritzWIP, given the heat I do think WIP management made the right decision.

Joe blamed management. Classic. First remotely funny thing he’s ever tweeted, and it’s basically him ducking responsibility and blaming the suits upstairs. If that’s even true, toss the whole station into the “soft” bin.

Meanwhile, Jack Fritz is halfway pretending it didn’t even happen. He’s too busy daydreaming about Luis Robert Jr. and the Phillies trade deadline to care about anything, which is something I can respect.

Great decision! https://t.co/tagmOe9oHs

It’s painful now but sorta needed the offense to make it clear they needed upgrades heading into the deadline and tonight and yesterday I’m sure helped.

Can’t blame him, honestly.

If Luis Robert Jr. ends up in red pinstripes by Thursday, all is forgiven.

Anyways, it’s just a brutal look for two “sports guys” who spend 20 hours a week behind a mic talking about competition and grit, only to get bodied by the weather when it was time to put up or shut up.

At the very least, play indoors next time or go sit in the corner with a bottle of Gatorade and think about what you’ve done.

C’mon man!
