I agree. Chad has been in Rome schtick mode way to much lately. He really needs to tone it down. I'd like to see John Strong with Gavin in the morning.
I like John Strong. He and Gavin would make a good team. I've always wondered if you were John Strong, BeerBoy?
I'd like to see Mychal and Kermit in the morning - you know, someone who actually knows something about NBA basketball. I hate C.I.P., or as I call him D.I.P. (Douchebag in Portland, Dipshit in Portland, Dickhead in Portland, etc. - take your pick). What's with the dot CAM crap? He can't just say www.websitename.com like everyone else? He has to draw it out and mispronounce it, like that's somehow cool (instead of retarded). His whole Jim Rome infatuation is very juvenile and downright creepy. Everytime I hear his Rome wannabe schtick (which is everytime he opens his mouth), I can't help but think of that Offspring song Pretty Fly for a White Guy: He needs some cool tunes, not just any will suffice But they didn't have Ice Cube so he bought Vanilla Ice Now cruising in his Pinto, he sees homies as he pass But if he looks twice, they're gonna kick his lilly ass! So don't deflate, play it straight You know he really doesn't get it anyway Gonna play the field, keep it real For you know a way, for you know a way So if you don't break, just over compensate At least you know you can always go on Ricky Lake (or The Jim Rome Show) The world loves wannabes BNM
He's the Lakers color man and had a show here in LA for like 3 years. He's no longer on the show and he knows next to nothing about basketball IMHO That being said the Old Kermit show with him was pretty good back in the day.
I usually listen to the first hour of their show and I swear they read this message board for topics to discuss to fill the airwaves. This morning they broke the Chad Ford article at 7am and said it was breaking news. It actually came out the night before, I read it last night at like 9pm. They don't bother me that much though, they are kind of appealing to me because its something that is within my age range and I can relate to a lot of the goofy shit they banter about. I just think their player evaluations show they don't watch much NBA.
Which means he still know WAY more about the NBA than the People's Chump and D.I.P. And, Mychal has a LOT of contacts with current and past NBA players, coaches, scouts, other members of the media, etc. So, he might actually be able to book a few decent guests on the show. Agreed - this was the reason for my suggestion. Their show was great. They just seemed to have a great rapport. My wife hates sports talk radio, but she used to tolerate (and even enjoy) Mychal and Kermit. BNM
