    you know I actually heard part of it this saturday and it wasnt too bad. He seemed calmed down. He accidentally hung up on someone and apoligized and asked them to call back. If it was MSP it would have been something like "LEARN THE GAME THEN CALL! CHECK YOURSELF DOUCHE" or something like that. So maybe he'll calm down on MSP I hope.

    I think its the role he has, like as a sidekick he goofs off and is a douche, but as a host it takes it seriously

    I agree . . . but if you want Blazer talk in the morning, they are really the only option.

    Haven't been to 1080 lately . . . are they better to get my morning Blazer fix?

    Surprised gavin isn't taking CIP with him . ..

    I guess just for me its how you carry yourself. If they arent fans of the team whatever I'm cool with that. But dont be an asshole if someone disagrees with you. (not you) They cant seem to handle that. While Canzano actually does a pretty good job of that, and thats why I like him. Even though I rarely agree with him. But I respect the dude.

    1080 owns 95.5 except when Rome is on. I don't enjoy any of the local programming on 95.5 but I love Primetime on 1080. I don't need 24/7 Blazers talk. I like to mix it up a bit.

    Since Kingspeed is now living in NY, he and Mixum should get together and do a show for YouTube.

    Talkhard lives around there, too, I think. I'd like him to be included in the collab.

    Ratings would seem to state otherwise.

    Then prove it. Send in an audition tape and show that you are as good as you think you are.

    Did you see the attempt at commentary of golf? As he said, it is a tough gig. Great guy, but would definitely need some coaching.

    This morning, Jaynes was harping that he'll need to see the Blazers beat a "real" team before he's convinced they're on the upward road.

    Which is why I think Gavin has to make the move.

    It's strange, I would personally hate that decision of moving to a new city to continue the growth of my career, or staying where you are with a huge glass ceiling. Nothing against Dallas, but I would not want to relocate to Dallas and build my career there . . . yet in Gavin's industry, he really has no choice.

    Really how far can a sports talk radio guy go in Ptd? Gavin will now be able to talk about the Mavs, the Cowboys, the stars, college football galore and I'm sure other related sports topics. His world of sports talk radio just jumped about 3-5 levels up.

    This is a golden chance for 1080. I see Dwight having the same problem as Kenny Vance. Contrary to what some say, Dwight is knowledgable about basketball, IMO. But he is too old and dry (and a bit annoying) and I see listners now tuning back to 1080 and flipping between the two until one personality really grabs them.

    Whoever does the 1080 morning show, time to step it up big time. They might want to even bring in some fresh blood to try and steal some of the 95.5 listeners who start flipping looking for something better tahn Dwight.

    the morning show for 1080 is Colin Cowherd. I doubt he'll do anything different from what he does now.
