Bickel was going on about how the interviews are a sham and they wanted Johnson all along. He actually said he doesn’t want Johnson now, just so he knows they had a legitimate process. its time for them to retire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 It's funny how you have show after show where the hosts demand "better" from the teams in this region with zero sense of irony that they need to be much better themselves. Since the regular season ended I've barely listened to any shows. A few times in the afternoon I'll turn on Bram but really like Mike Callow when he gets a chance to talk. Espcially on the Caps, which he's good at. This site, Keim's podcast, and Galdi will carry me through the Spring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The age of Ken Beatrice (is that before your time) is over. I get why people liked Beatrice, but I found him unlistenable. A solo host with a ridiculous accent talking endlessly about guard play. He was also from that old sports talk show thing of "I must be an expert because if I wasn't, I would not have this show." PS We are in the end game of sports talk radio, I think. And it's the gambling talk that is going to kill it. I had two bookies in my family growing up. I did my first four team parlay when I was in third grade. I understand gambling. But there is NOTHING in the world less interesting than gambling talk. I don't care about your wins, and I especially don't care about your losses unless it involves violence upon you. I think Sheehan is a talented host, but his gambling talk is so goddamn boring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody is really doing it anymore because they lean on their producers to get on air too often. All these shows need 2 voices daily to have a discussion. Talking into the airwaves just leads to.....gambling talk......or.......I said X a few weeks ago and was right. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every now and then, I'l catch a few minutes of Hannity and Levin and wonder why - politics aside - anyone would listen to this one guy basically yelling at me. Levin does the thing where he talks to his "producer" who I am farily certain does not exist. (I assume at this point that all the big remaining radio shows are done solo in the hosts' home/drug den). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fine by me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixcuincle Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Eating lunch watching Pat McAfee on ESPN Pat spends nearly 47 minutes talking about helmet gate involving Justin Tuker and Travis Kelce Stunts like this is why sports talk radio even Pat who I idolize is not it anymore.

Nonprofessional refers to someone not belonging to a certain craft. Unprofessional means a lack of professional decorum. If the guy who asked that question has press credentials, he clearly is part of the press core, he clearly is a professional reporter. The question he asked was tactless, so therefore unprofessional.

Regardless, I would think we could all agree that Russell is not very bright, insightful, or worth listening to on the radio. I'm pretty sure that applies to pretty much the entire roster of 106.7 "talent"! Maybe their company going bankrupt could lead to some turnover. Been traveling up and down the 95 corridor frequently over the last couple of months. I actually enjoy hearing the Philly and NY shows. Maybe Philly is enjoyable because I got to listen to them talk about the collapse of both the Phillies and Eagles! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggo#44 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 More idiocy and grandstanding from famed bloviating jackass John Feinstein that @Voice_of_Reason will love. I made the mistake of tuning into Fridays with Fartstein on 106.7, and he said in all seriousness that Kyle and Mike Shanahan saying they had to cut the playbook in half and questioning McNabb's fitness was "racial coding." Not because McNabb was checked out--one of the reasons Andy Reid traded him--but racism. I hate our media. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know about Kyle, but Mike Shanny is more of a sociopath than a racist. Remember when he put Terrell Davis in the superbowl to do play action while blind from a migraine? Sociopath mindset there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A caller just called in and basically asked the Junks why they didn't push back on that, and they said they disagreed with John's take but they were not in confrontation mood this morning so they didn't say anything back. Both Lurch and EB disagreed with his take but just kept their mouth shut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little while back, he referred to someone as Goodell’s “butt buddy” (might have been Trump too, I don’t remember exactly) A bunch of people chimed in saying that term was offensive to gay men, including many gays. Feinsteins response: no it isn’t. He’s a total hypocrite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bang Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 (edited) So Shanahan traded a second round pick for McNabb, then when he got here and walked in the door, Shanny looked up and screamed " Oh my GOD! You're BLACK???" Too bad the Junkies were not in a "combative mood" (also known as "cowardice", or "being 4 big fat pansy-ass *******"), because that is one of the easiest softballs I've ever seen to knock out of the park. Risk: John Feinstein might never talk to you again. ~Bang Edited March 8 by Bang 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
