Just wanted to chime in here. Really disappointed to see that Cooley & Kevin are gone. I'm hopeful Cooley finds an outlet for his film breakdown, assuming he still wants to do that. Better yet, I'd be happy for him personally if he found something else, a Front Office job on the skins or elsewhere--maybe he already has. Or, a higher profile job doing broadcasts. Didn't he do a few national broadcasts last year?
I'll still listen to Galdi, since I like his style, and his fact-based approach for covering the game and the team. He's not particularly insightful from a football strategy point of view, due to not having the on-field experience, but I appreciate that he covers all the stats, all the obvioius angles.
The rest of the 980 team can suck it. Doc is the worst ever. All respect to the onfield exploits, but he's the worst radio commentator I've ever heard. Folks on this board have already covered his faults ad nauseum (footbal cliches, tough guy talk). He brings zero to the table in terms of football analysis, strategy, experience. I can only imagine how much the other regular hosts hate it when "that time of the week" rolls around and they have to suffer 10 mins on the phone w/ Walker offering his inane "you gotta hit 'em in the mouth"isms. Last year it was 9:00 AM Mondays for Cooley & Sheehan.
Czab is alright. I actually really liked the interplay between Cooley & Portis, and Portis is funny as hell. Portis has footbal knowlege, but I haven't seen the desire from him to do more than an hour a week. Smoot has a good mix of football knowledge and humor, but you need to pair him with the right team. Not a fan of B. Mitchell as a broadcaster either.
