I kinda like JT The Brick. Puts me to sleep at night. I'm disliking Rome's show more and more. Less sports talk and calls. More him goobering all over his clones and other frivolous banter.
Agreed on Simmons. Even though he talk some crazy shit sometimes, I find him original and entertaining. Rome was brilliant in his day and changed the face of sports radio. Unfortunately much like Jordan did with the NBA, everyone else thought they could do what he did and it ended up ruining sports radio. All it is today is a bunch of fuckwits who think we want to hear about their haircuts and "hilarious" weekend stories. Also like Football weekly from the guardian and the local show here in LA with Matt Smith and Petros. Colin Cowherd became the very definition of a douche bag. I've never heard a bigger cvnt on the radio including mega pill head. Everything else is is fucking dire.
I can't stand Rome. Just the way his delivery is a bit different, it bugs me. I actually don't mind Canzano. I like Dan Patrick most of the time. Enjoy John Strong typically as well.
I like Rome when he's doing a serious interview with an intelligent and interesting guest that doesn't want to hump Rome's leg. Otherwise, he makes me want to pound a railroad spike into my brain with a sledgehammer. Haven't heard much of Cowherd, but what I have heard wasn't terrible. It wasn't great, but it wasn't terrible. I'm starting to appreciate Dan Patrick more and more, but it depends on the topic. I hate to admit it, I'm hooked on the MSP. I'm either spit-taking toothpaste foam all over my mirror because they're cracking me up, or I'm wishing I had time to call in to yell at them because they're pissing me off. "White 'Tone" gets me rolling every single time. I enjoy JT The Brick, Andrew Siciliano, Tony Bruno, and Tom Looney; I used to really enjoy Papa Joe Chevalier.
Sports Talk as in "jack-holes calling and doing their best Jim Rome impersonation"? Gack, fuck that shit. But if you can expand the list to include daily podcast shows, then The Basketball Jones with Skeets and Tas Melas is it for me. (The BS Report and the Dontonio Wingcast with Ben Golliver and Kevin Pelton are great too).
I find it best to stay away from sports radio, the Opie and Anthony show on xm radio is good for "shock jock radio"
Ben maller show, 10pm-3am Friday and Saturdays on fox radio....he is by far my favorite..then probably bft or msp Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
*ding* Love Patrick. Honestly? My favorite is Primetime. Isaak and Suke. I love them. I also love Colin. I like sports radio that mixes in current events and pop culture. I think these two programs (along with Patrick) do a very good job at that. Pretty much any local programing on 95.5 is boring. Listen, I love my Blazers, but I need more. I have better conversations with my friends about the Blazers than 95.5 ever has. Hell, there are WAY better conversations about the Blazers right here on this board than 95.5 ever has. They bore the shit out of me. Plus, I need my NFL and college football (non ducks or beavers).
Can't believe you people listen to let alone like MSP I rate it as one of the worst shows I've ever heard.
