justice98 Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 So now they gotta explain what happens to Russell and Doc's shows. They seem to be flailing about trying to find a mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that kind of explains why Pete was gone, maybe he got wind of this early and said F-U. They say what is happening from 1pm on? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Burgundy and Gold show seemed like a placeholder anyway. Any show with a rotation of the B-team utility guys wasn't gonna survive changes.

@DCGoldPants Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Sportstalk is in a really bad place here. I don't know if that's the case in most cities. Podcasts are easier to keep up with. They don't take callers. They are just better in general. I honestly don't have an issue with 106.7 and 980 simulcasting. But then they'd need to more and better shows. If I had my way, it would go. 6am-9am - Junkies (I don't like they but I get a lot of people do) 10am-1pm - Sheehan is fine there. But he needs a cohost who can talk more than just football 1pm-3pm - I guess Grant and Danny. I don't have anything that much better for now, would def replace with some diversity if I could. Female host. Former Baseball or Hoops player. Something better. 4pm-7pm - I'd keep Hoffman but he needs a cohost too. Maybe a group like the old Sports Reporters on 980 was with Andy/Czabe/Galdi/Solly No show should be more than 3 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purbeast Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Grant and Danny do not deserve their own show IMO. They are just so bad together and they go off on so many tangents just jerking each other off with stupid little inside jokes and dumb **** like that. I would take Russel and whoever over them two any day of the week. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Russell has been doing this way too long to be still unable to complete a sentence or even most words. I can't listen to him at all. He cannot speak clearly or on the fly.

I like Chris when he has someone else with him. When he's by himself, he can be painful to listen to. But I thought him and Pete were pretty good. Pete kept him in check. I can definitely understand why people are annoyed by him though lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot stand to hear him squawk, The jumbled words of Chris Russell on Sportstalk. He stutters, halts, and speaks with strife, A messy maze of thoughts and life. I will not listen in my car, I will not listen near or far. I will not tune in here or there, I cannot take it anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure who is worse--Grant, Danny, or Chris. They are all awful. The main problem is they're idiots. And not only that they're idiots--they're the worst kind of idiot--the idiot who doesn't think they're an idiot. After Bmitch and Finlay it's a wasteland of stupidity.

Russel knows he's an idiot and that people don't like him. He is very self aware and jokes about it often. The other 2 however are not. They think they are the best thing on the radio in the DMV. They have no clue how painful they are to listen to when they are together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it me or is there a lot of dead air on their show? Like somebody talks and then silence for 5+ seconds.

Heard one earlier today when I was flipping taking about mini golf. I missed the beginning of the topic and flipped to music after 20 seconds.

ixcuincle Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 It's pretty hard to find any sports talk in this city that doesn't talk Commanders 24/7 but the Bram Weinstein show is pretty solid. They actually had Tarik El Bashir on to talk hockey. Give it a listen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Sinister Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 They need to bring in some people from out of town, or something. Just too many mouthbreathers in this market. Unlistenable 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spjunkies Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 This Tim Donnelly guy who hosts on Sunday morning is pretty decent. He might be a good weekday morning host on 980 after some polishing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Whoever comes, I think NOT opening up the phone lines is paramount to maintaining audience sanity. These people are so dumb now. Good grief. Elementary school level intellect 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least in the 90s, the Jim Rome callers had their **** rehearsed and ready or he'd dump them. Right now I'd prefer if they took callers. Have them leave a 30 second message so the show's producer maybe finds a couple that are good enough to put on the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
