Redskins Diehard Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 106.7 is having RG Knee on every Monday morning. I wonder if he'll talk about the sexual harassment he was subjected to? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will listen to him but every time I see him on TV talking, there is just something about him that bothers me lol. It just has to be because of hearing all his stupid ass one liners and cliches for years while he was here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He talks about the league in general. It is kinda weird, but I don't think he works full time with the Rams. Its just a part time consulting gig. Probably just McVay doing his former boss and buddy Gruden a solid getting him a paycheck for doing next to nothing(which is basically all consulting is). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purbeast Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 LMAO this dude called into 980 and is a season ticket holder and so is his buddy, and his buddy won the Jacksonville 50/50 raffle. Well he just received the check this past week and went to deposit it and it bounced. It was over $14k. Russel and Pete were getting his and his buddies information so don't be surprised if you see this story get out there today lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spjunkies Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 I don't listen to him too often, but Craig Hoffman comes off as way too smug and arrogant. I didn't mind him too much as a beat dude, but he has a long ways to go as a host. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's articulate, passionate, knowledgable, basically everything you can ask for. On the flip side, Russel can be painful to listen to. He's constantly forgetting names and facts or mumbling/stumbling over his words. He also gets unreasonably loud out of nowhere and will fight/argue with callers(admittedly some of them can be absolute morons but still). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched one on YouTube that was about 30 minutes long and the split must have been like 22/8. Topics are good, questions are good, but let the expert answer.

The one thing I used to love about sports talk radio was the callers and the number of unique opinions we'd get. Its honestly what brought me to places like here and tsn. But now those shows are bombarded with like the same 10 callers who have ongoing arguments for like 3 years from different shows and different locations. They're talking about stuff that nobody knows about and they scream at each other. Its so annoying. And when Russel is involved, its much worse. 1 hour ago, spjunkies said: I don't listen to him too often, but Craig Hoffman comes off as way too smug and arrogant.

I'm not going to ban him for this but he's definitely not high on my listen to list. Even my least liked guys like Russel aren't this smug. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Growing up in Philly in the late 70s and early 80s, what I'd like is the solo sports talk host (like Beatrice was here for a long time) who would take plenty of calls and who were well versed across all the sports and would discuss whatever sport that particular caller would want to discuss. Today you have multiple hosts per show who spend the whole show arguing with each other and the shows are so structured that they talk about Topic A for 20 minutes and then move onto Topic B. And Topics A thru Z are almost all NFL related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I'll listen just cause I have nothing else to listen to and I hate silence, but I have started listening to audiobooks over a lot of these shows because they're just not worth it to me, especially if its just going to put me in a bad mood. I may get frustrated by a bad book but it won't put me in a bad mood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even just that, but then you hear the same callers several times a day calling into every show. 980 has a good 3-4 people that do this every single day.

Its like they're either unemployed or they are getting a check to call in and sit on hold to comment on whatever is the topic. Long ago, back in the Beatrice days and a little after, I was a caller but I didn't have a personality I would just call in and ask a question and take the answer off the air. I think I won some tickets to a Wizards game from Kevin and Rock. But these shows are just looking to battle callers and especially the norms.

Riggo#44 Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 So I have taken the position that I will roundly disagree with EB on the Junkies, and so far, it's been working out. But lately, wow, I have no idea where he gets his sources from? Said the other day Josh Harris is out on the Commanders sale. Said this morning that there are whispers the Commanders weren't going to pick up Young's 5th year option. On top of that, he said Rizzo should quit as GM of the Nats because they're going to be bad this year (never mind they're the 11th ranked minors organization with the youngest average age in MLB), his constant haranguing on Wentz even when it was clear he was a bust. Seriously, this guy is making Colin Cowherd look rational and informed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
