Thinking Skins Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Wow, I like what I'm hearing. People are calling into Sheehan's show and saying Galdi's up there with Ken Beatrice. I don't know if I would go that high, but Galdi is the first host since Beatrice I've scheduled my day around and just had to catch his shows, whether its the 6AM shows, the 9-10, the 4-7, whenever, he's been the guy I had to catch. Other guys like Sheehan or Doc or Brian have been the et al. Thats why its been kinda good having Galdi at 9 because then I get Sheehan in the mornings and Mitchell at noon. Now I'm probably not going to listen to a podcast at 9 and will miss out on Mitchell as well. Honestly I'll probably just do text to speech on a bunch of news stories and the comments over the next few days. This is so frustrating. I thought Galdi was untouchable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justice98 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 As a guy that was a 980 loyalist and almost never listened to 106.7, DC sports talk is unrecognizable to me now. There were pockets when I would dip in and out of 630 when Bram got his show and Carol Maloney had a show, I think. But it's been mostly 980 ever since college in the mid 90s when they were the only game in town. I remember living in Los Angeles in the early 2000s, and streaming 980 was my connection back to DC sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BatteredFanSyndrome Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 I'm kind of taken aback by Galdi's release. I don't know what his ratings look like, but he sure seems to get caller participation that is both loyal and more diverse than I hear on other shows. He can talk about most every sport, beyond the regular everyday joe sports fan talking points. He is opinionated, but not over the top. He really walks all the lines really well as for what you want out of a sports radio host. I don't get it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they hold on to their reasonable talent with good and thoughtful takes? Or do they retain and amplify the Stephen A Smiths and Skip Bayless and Colin Cowherds of the world? It's sad and stupid, but good takes don't sell. Insane takes, screamed, do. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purbeast Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 BMitch and JP Finlay are taking the 10-2 spot on 1067 the Fan. And Pete Medherst and Chris Russel are doing the afternoon spot on 980. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@DCGoldPants Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Poor Pete. Man, a 4 hour show is too long. Always had been. 3 should be the tops. Some should only be 2. Especially midday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just654 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 I feel for Pete having to work with Russell. I think JP and BMitch might actually be pretty good. Need someone to take Bmitch down a level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why can't these guys look at Keim and see that when he does these radio spots, he's almost all about what he can confirm. Doesn't want to dabble in rumors, and will be clear to say "I'm not hearing anything like that". Might not be exciting but its trustworthy.

I think the issue is Keim is he is at ESPN and pretty much at the top of the beat. He has been at ESPN for like 20+ years. JP is still grinding, and sad to say hitting on rumors is what moves you up. I can see JPs schtick getting tired. I am just interested if JP can level out Bmitch. Bmitch hasnt really had anyone up to his level and he would run the show.

Hopefully it isn't like his short-lived show with Bram Weinstein where it quickly became awkward and uncomfortable once it was obvious BMitch had determined he couldn't stand Bram. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would allow these callers to go on with incorrect medicinal information and then get made at people on twitter for saying he shouldn't be doing that. Said everyone could have their opinion. It was dangerous. I just wish he would do two things. #1. Get professional training for speaking on the radio or TV. He still gets tongue tied too much. It's not easy. #2. Let somebody else "drive" the show. Maybe JP will do this. But as much as it was a mismatch. Scott Linn kept the trains running on time. You can't just stick non-radio people on shows and expect them to be able to multitask. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be like the Czabe and Cooley show in 2016, when the Nats were brutlizing the division, and they were debating whether Nate Sudfeld was going to make the roster or not--for almost 90 mins.

BatteredFanSyndrome Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 I can't see BMitch allowing a 50/50 situation at all. He will do his best to dominate the discussions and 'I played in this league' JP to death where JP will regularly defer to him. Bank on that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 I can't believe they got rid of Galdi. I'm done with 980. Pat McAfee's podcast runs from 12-3 everyday anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justice98 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Letting Galdi go seemed crazy, but even more so seeing who they gave shows too, especially on the 980 side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purbeast Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 I heard BMitch earlier today trying to argue with JP Finlay that being up by 8 points in the NFL is a 2 score game. He then tried to say that because the XP is no longer a gimmie that means a 2pt conversion is damn sure not a gimmie. So therefore you have to score a touchdown and a 2pt conversion so an 8pt game is a 2 score game. By his logic that would mean a 7pt game is also a 2 score game. That's probably the dumbest thing I've ever heard on the radio in regards to football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
