The Official Sports Talk Radio Thread

He's alright on his own. I don't see him and Francesa ever reuniting fully...maybe a guest hit here or there in the future.

I think the time apart will bring them together. No homo.

Sirius is dying and Fatcesa hates talking for 6 hours by himself. Plus his "numbahs" are slipping little by little. When they reunite at big events it does monster numbers.

I listen to Francesa on YES, it makes me feel a little less homesick. Sometimes I go online for some Joe Benigno, too.

When I first really got into WFAN, it was some of the final days I think of when Beningno was in the overnight. Awesome shows.

He's still good whenever I get the chance to catch him in the daytime, but not quite as good as he was in the past.

Whoever runs kars 4 kids must have a huge roll on the WFAN staff. They have been advertised for so many years and so often.


Also, growing up since I was a little kid and been going to Giant's games, I've listened to the NFL Sunday Mornings with Francesa religiously. Nothing beats that feeling of driving on the turnpike on the way to a game listening to that program and the Phil Simms weekly call.

Usually just listen to 97.5 the fanatic in Philly. I've listened to Tony Bruno forever.

WIP is awful. Angelo Cataldi makes Mike and Mike sound like Stern, Anthony Gargano is a jock sniffing toolbag, and Eskin's act has grown tired. Eskin being paired with Ike Reese did not help at all, he's terrible.

Fatcesa is definately engrained in the sports culture in the tri-state. I can't imagine when the day comes, hopping in the car in the afternoon and not hearing his voice. The worst is when you put on FAN expecting him, and some clown like Malusis or Carlin is filling in. Or even worse, a Mets game. One of those little disappointments in life, bums you out.

There was even a Sopranos scene where they are listening to Mike & The Mad Dog while they bullshit in the back room of Satriele's Pork Store.

I'm convinced Tony Paige doesn't exist. They just play a tape. He never answers a caller with anything of substance. "Uh huh. I hear you. haha. Yeah. Agreed. Thanks man."

not that anyone here would listen to Toronto sports radio, but Bob McCowan has been lights out for decades now.

Think it's more likely they just have a real nice connection going on in sales. If there's one thing I've learned over the last few years, it's that sales guys are lazy as fuck and won't go looking for new deals for commercial slots unless they absolutely have to.

Sales and traffic are the bane of my existence.

My father is a radio salesman lol. But he tells me the same thing, he's a beast salesman.

And you have to assume they get their ads for free or some crazy deal or the fan writes them off on their taxes... No way can K4K be able to put that much money into prime advertising spots.

Pitcher David Cone just interviewed on Joe and Evan. TBH I do not remember him at all, but he threw a perfect game with the Yanks and threw 20 win seasons with both the Mets and Yanks, can't be many that have done that.

He also won a World Series with the Blue Jays.

:yeah:

Wait that's not just Chicago?! You fuckers have to hear that too?

Thank god I'm not the only one that gets it stuck in his head for days at a time.

NOOOOOOOOO IT'S A NEVER-ENDING EPIDEMIC

The Kars for Kids is bad. I also can't stand the Napa-know-how commercial and the Maaco commercial with the horrible, horrible white guy rap-techno song.

Btw, how the fuck do you get a 9 digit phone number?

Good question, must be an international number..

Senser and Fed(and other Chicago area listeners)

Did you hear Bernstein tear apart David Schuster today around 4:45 for saying Rose was intimidated by LeBron James...and Schuster swore "intimidated" had nothing to do with fear.

It was awesome.

I hate Schusters updates anyways. It's always full of some meatball bullshit.

 

[Hasselbeck]

I can't listen to the local guys out here.. they are on a whole new level of brutal.

Used to love Jim Rome but his show is stale and lame now.

I love Dan Patrick but our local sports station is such a joke.. his first hour is live and the remaining two are tape delayed after Rome.. that way they can have their local hacks come on and show how stupid they are for two hours. It's miserable broadcasting.

ESPN Radio is pretty much crappy. Once in awhile I'll try to stomach some Mike & Mike but both of those guys are such tools. Cowherd is a blow hard. Van Pelt is tolerable. Gottlieb is a joke.

Basically like W2B said, sports radio has a lot of crap on it. Dan Patrick is the one really good show out there right now IMO.

 

[Boucher]

McCowan is a joke! People call in give there rant he hangs up the phone and just disses them for being dumb. Thank god tsn 1050 came along

 

[Yawkey Way]

I used to love Boston sports radio a lot more than I do now, WEEI in particular seems to be getting stale. In the morning i'll listen to Dennis & Callahan while I'm getting ready for school but Callahan is getting increasingly difficult to listen to, still think Dennis is a great host though.

In the afternoons I've transitioned away from the Big Show. They lost me as a listener for a while when Felger/Maz went on 98.5 the hub but now that Ordway re-vamped the cast and brought Michael Holley on with him i've tuned in occasionally. I'm a huge fan of Michael Felger, most people can't stand how much of a DB he is but he's consistently right and doesn't get wishy washy when he's wrong.

Awesome interview by Francessa with Tiki and his agent going on right now.
