Our problem has almost always been the guy under center, regardless of who the guy scheming up and calling the plays was.

ixcuincle Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 2 hours ago, @SkinsGoldPants said: taking calls from listeners is the worst part of sports talk IMO. They always start with at least one of these, but usually more than one. "Love the show", "I'll make this quick", "I just wanted to say". It's never quick or well thought out. They should have a number for people to call and leave a 30sec voicemail. Kind of like PTI where they play the recording of somebody asking a question.....and then talk about it. Biggest reason I quit listening. They always suggest preposterous ideas or are total idiots in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Sheehan won't be consistent. Not when you consider all the Shanahan whoring, which means he has to back Shanahans secret weapon, Kirk Cousins, at all costs, to save face. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can't fill a show without taking a ton of calls. Then you need a shorter show. Much rather have guests call in. Beat Reporters, "Experts", Athletes, Managers, etc. I don't care what some guy who has time to call in thinks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justice98 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I always wonder about people that call in every day to sports radio. I think I tried to call in one time about a decade ago on a long commute home. BMitch was saying something crazy. Sat on hold for a few minutes and hung up.

CBass1724 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 That dude Ian (EYE-IN) drives me nuts whenever he calls in! He calls into every show on 980 and the hosts always cringe when he starts to talk. I think he calls in every single day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've called and gotten through a couple of times. It's typically when it's a hot take and the groundlings are taking the bait hook-line-and-sinker. If I wasn't at work, I would have called in this morning re: Bryce's health. Rizzo called the Verducci report "inaccurate." He did not say he was completely healthy.

That dude was annoying af. Him and that damn preacher. If it were up to me I'd eliminate call-ins altogether.

Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I will give Czaban credit for his morning show: At least he seemed to be trying something different than just the hot take/interview format that nearly everyone else follows. He was basically trying a variation of Lebatard's show, which I think is the best sports show right now. He had two problems: 1. That network he was on couldn't have sounded more second rate. From the stupid branding to the lazy production. 2. He was trying to do a personality show with some boring personalities. Lebatard has Stugotz who is maybe the best "character" I've ever heard on radio outside the Stern universe. Scott Lynn and that Sully guy were just guys doing radio. Their issues with satellite dishes and cell phones just don't compare to a maniac yelling at 10 year old female lacrosse players and selling Heat playoff tickets.

Every once in awhile you get a great, coherent, insightful call from a fan, only for the host to feel inferior and cut the call short or belittle them Not to belabor a point, but Lebatard does texts and emails, not calls - except for the quick call in segments with Tim Kurkjian or Adam Schefter or that animal guy. I think that works really well, because you can actually do quality control. Nothing kills a show faster than "Um...I ain't no expert or nothing...but this team ain't that good, man" calls. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Oh, let me add something Czabe would do "This might be a dumb question" or the other mini-bits for people. That was kind of funny. Seemed like the people who got on were screened pretty well. They did "Superfriends" which each person on the show having a skill. When Galdi was on, I loved the old time Pro Wrestling questions that were clearly just testing his knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggo#44 Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 So did anyone spend more than 10 minutes today on the Nationals division title? Been unable to listen today, was wondering--anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 I haven't listened. But given the nature of the Skins victory, it wouldn't shock me if they didn't spend more than five minutes on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BornaSkinsFan83 Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Just listened to Sports Reporters for a bit. Almost all of it Pollin screaming about Kirk. Nothing else. Was quickly reminded why I've listened exclusively to Sirius for the last year. Question, when did 94.3 stop being a WTEM FM station? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixcuincle Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Really like this CSN Junkies recap show. Don't have time to listen from 6 AM to 10 AM so watching them on CSN is pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebluefood Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Not sure if this belongs here since it deals with game coverage - but I started working a night, weekend job to make ends meet and listening to the Nats game from AM 1500 is the best. There's a local station in eastern NC that's part of the Nats radio network but hearing the hometown station helps make that job much less miserable if the Nats have a night game. I must be really out of the loop, though, because I didn't know WTOP dropped its AM signal. That was a bit of a shock. They've had that station forever.

Riggo#44 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 I really don't understand what it is about former WaPo writers that just makes them become such raging assholes.

@DCGoldPants Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 I have no idea how Steinberg has lasted this long. With twitter getting stuff out there faster and faster. He's stuck mostly retweeting stuff that he used to be the 1st guy to put out there. 980 should give him and Loverro a show together. Call it "Unlistenable". 2am-5am weekdays. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Speaking of sports radio, anybody hear the brief little heat check from Desmond Howard to ****head Polin on The Sports Reporters? Polin and Czabe together is just a massive mound of asshole Glad Howard gave it to them a little bit Dude was an electrifying Heisman winner, top pick, super bowl champ, super bowl map, and put his name in the football pantheon with the Heisman pose and one of the greatest postseason for a return man that I can remember.... And im sure Howard knows that the most. That's one he'll of a career alone right there Can't believe Polin thought it would be funny to try and insinuate that the dude should somehow be ashamed.
