Thinking Skins Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 A caller just called into the MMQB show on ESPN980 and asked this question and was told to contact Dennis Glasgow (VP of Operations for Red Zebra) at glasgowd@redskins.com. ESPN 980 - Home of the Redskins / Red Zebra Broadcasting 8121 Georgia Avenue, Suite 1050 Silver Spring, MD 20910 301-562-5800 I recommend trying to get Steve Czaban's morning show on the air instead of Mike and Mike in the Morning. As much as I disagree with Czaban's views, he keeps me entertained for the most part. I can't say the same about Mike and Mike who kinda annoy me during the football season when they're talking about what a real athelete is....:doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheatorBeat Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Czaban's morning show isn't technically local, as it is his national show. The other issue is that his show is on Fox Radio I believe, and ESPN 980 is obviously ESPN. So zippy chance of getting him back at the moment. I too miss Czaben, and Dan Patrick, and Tony Kornheiser for that matter. I wish they would quit f'n with my drive time sports talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMike21 Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Yeah I heard that this morning. Good info, but Andy can be a little punk in the mornings haha. He seemed put off by the caller's comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thinking Skins Posted September 15, 2008 Author Share Posted September 15, 2008 Well, even if its not to get Czaban back, but to get more local programming on ESPN980, you should contact the guy. I'll recommend Czaban....but I don't think I would even mind them putting Riggo on at that time. Just some local stuff that I can listen to instead of Mike and Mike.

DCsportsfan53 Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Sent an email, too. I can't stomach Mike and Mike or Cowherd. I find myself listening to Elliot in the morning instead when I'd really LOVE to hear Doc, B Mitch, Riggo, even Czabe in the morning. Just something other than the crappy ass syndicated ESPN programming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheatorBeat Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Andy actually supports local programming. So I think he was just frustrated by the question because he used to have control over such things. He is always quick to funnel callers towards the door though. Quick on the hang-up.

So I think he was just frustrated by the question because he used to have control over such things. He is always quick to funnel callers towards the door though. Quick on the hang-up. Of course Andy supports local programming,, it will give him many more chances to take potshots at the Redskins, to try to create controversy out of nothing for the Redskins, and to otherwise continue to do what he does.. ie: bash bash bash, and pretend that continual and constant criticism is what 'journalists' do. I'm no wearer of rose colored glasses, but I do get sick and tired of listening to him and Czabin constantly whine and look for reasons to degrade the team. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flycoach Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 We definitely need more local content. If we put the power of ES behind an e-mail campaign, we might get something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWCREDSKINS Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I want shows where the players make appearances like we had in the Ken Beatrice days. Those were fun. You see can John Riggins but he shuns you when you ask for an autograph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McMetal Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I'm not in favor of anything that brings Asshat Czaban back on the airwaves. Give Charles Mann a show instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HailSkinz1 Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I agree about wanting Czabe back on in the morning, but like CheatorBeat said, Czabe is Fox Sports and 980 is ESPN now. But the other local "talent" is horrible. I'm no big fan of Cowherd, but I can tolerate him more than Doc Walker or Riggo. The best thing 980 has is the Sports Reporters. The JT show is pretty good, but Mitchell can be such an ass at times, and Koken is just an idiot. I actually miss the days of Kiley and the Coach!! Would love to have them back in town.

Fury010 Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 We have to listen to Mike and Mike and Colin Cowherd when we have local talent like: Frank Herzog John Riggins Joe Theismann Charles Mann Mike Patrick George Michael Scrap the ESPN crap and let's have a local sports station. I guess ESPN contributes too much to kick them to the curb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JdoubleU Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Give me Kornheiser. I hope they release him from MNF. I also liked Feldman & Maloney for the short time they were on the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixcuincle Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Someone needs to host the 10 AM - noon hour instead of Cowherd. Clearly he doesn't have much fans around this area. I wonder what local host would do the show though. By the way , since Riggins was let go from his show , did he ever rejoin Andy and Steve Czaban for the John Riggins Show? They used to have that back on 980 the Monday after Redskins games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Tony is one of the best. I think he has to do that show on 3WT though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They used to have that back on 980 the Monday after Redskins games. Riggo is part of the Redskins Post Game Show and is a co-host on Monday Morning Quarterback on ESPN 980 (6am-10am) every morning after Skins games (replayed on ESPN 950 in Richmond from 12pm-4pm). He also does a 15 minute Riggins Report on Hardly Workin' with Greg Burton (ESPN 950) every Friday during the 5 o'clock hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghent Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Sorry to jack this thread but I forgot to record the game yesterday and I was wondering if anyone knew if they were going to replay it on NFL Network? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeGibbsRypenGClark91 Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Get rid of Collin Cowherd, give Doc his show back at noon and pair Sheehan with a partner at 7-10. And i hate Sheehan buti don't like people beingfired unless they do something awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
