ixcuincle Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 (edited) Junior has done good work with A season on the brink and his Ravens book where he followed them around for a year but his radio persona is not likable Wonder if he still writes for the Post. He used to write the team recaps for the Post March Madness pullout section. Edited March 11 by ixcuincle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixcuincle Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Wouldn't know much about Finlay and B Mitch on 1067 (I don't listen) but other than having the PFT / BarstoolNate peeps on, see no reason why that show should be reviled. The fans have turned on JP, man. Sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fans have turned on JP, man. Sad. Aside from that dude, who else has turned on him? Him and BMitch are entertaining to me. I can understand people not liking the way he talks sometimes though because he does leave long ass pauses between thoughts sometimes, but I'm assuming sometimes it's because someone is chirping in his ear. What are his bad takes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Driving around just now and jumping back and forth from 980 and 106.7, my biggest take away is this: if this franchise is going to get out of the gutter, the quality of the shows on these two stations need to do the same. These shows stink. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Jesus. How about a little effort, Grant? Going to a live event where you're going to talk to athletes of a sport that your an expert on? Props to Danny who got the memo that looking like if Thom Loverro and Chris Russell had a baby, isn't acceptable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 I try not to judge anyone on appearance but yeah I agree, at least put on a decent shirt and tuck in. Maybe trim the beard a bit. Be presentable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t hear those ads anymore. I can’t remember the name, but I know there was one in Tyson’s. I tried looking it up, but nothing looks familiar. Anyone remember them and did they go out of business? I could stand to lose some weight. I looked into them, but they were godawfully expensive.

I don't even understand how fat loss centers can exist in today's world when you an literally get all the same information for free online. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sloppy when you know you won't be in studio and are interviewing people you want to take you seriously. Come on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've lived here for 40+ years and listened to sports radio for most of that time...I think Sheehan, Grant & Danny, Finley, etc. are all perfectly capable local sports guys.

I still listen to the Junkies mostly out of habit--but I don't take them seriously, especially when they talk about baseball. JP and Finlay are the best show on the station. Grant and Danny are atrocious--I stopped listening to them years ago. Every time I see or hear anything they say, it's dripping with unaware arrogance. They're both dumber than a bag of hammers, but think they're the smartest guys in the room. There is a reason Danny never made it as a comedian.

Warhead36 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 The only one worth listening to on 980 is Kevin Sheehan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@DCGoldPants Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 on 630 they gave Mike Callow an hour from 5-6 that I like. Probably because he's a hockey guy and I like to hear about the other teams in town. But I think he does pretty well. Sheehan I think needs a co-host to be his best. I liked Hoffman for a while, but not so much anymore. His producer gets a lot of airtime, but umms and uhhhs a lot, which is a peeve. Oh ****, I'm a hater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that I think they are brilliant or anything, they aren't. But, I have never gotten the impression that they believe they are or are trying to be. They facilitate - interview people, give their "sport fan" opinions on the local teams, etc. Maybe that's why it's never bothered me...they seem to have the same level of knowledge that I do... Sheehan has been my favorite in the area for a long time. He has generally held the same opinions as me, but he's much more informed and articulate than I am.

Once I find someone annoying--it's very hard for me to get off that idea. They were incredibly condescending to anyone with a different opinion back in ~2014-17. They would deride anyone that disagreed with them, no matter how reasonable, with "you can think that, we'll just go on being right." They blocked me when they were ****ing about lineup choices and I posted an article from FanGraphs showing how meaningless batting order is over the course of a season. I also argued that players have preferences that make them more comfortable and productive. They got increasingly aggressive with their whole "we're on the radio so we're experts" grandstanding. They blocked me after throwing back at them the going on being right bit (Paulsen) and asking if they knew what batting splits were (Rouhier).

But at least they do talk baseball. Can’t say the same for others. However, I was running an errand and they were going through the lineup as it was released. Spent a lot of time on Abrams and Lane. No problem. 1-2, makes sense. Then I think they went through 3-6 and got sideways about how bad the middle is. Which is true, but I got home and thought, well I guess I’ll look up the rest of the lineup online. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purbeast Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 I know a lot of you don't like the Junkies, but this morning they had Chris Webber on and it was fantastic radio. He was coming on for a segment and he ended up sticking around for a second one. I had to go into my office before the 2nd one started but the first one was a great listen. He has a new book out that he's promoting so that is why he was on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
