I would never listen to a show with nothing but a host blabbering on and some beat person talking nonsense. Didn't I just say have on more beat writers? Also, it's a 3 person show already. That's a conversation most of the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thinking Skins Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 14 hours ago, purbeast said: Jesus Christ unfunny Danny even ruins commercials. Just now he was doing some Ted Brit Ford commercial and said "HMMMMM" like 39024930 times. That **** drove me nuts and I ripped my ear buds out and came here to rant about it. I thought they were so good when they first started, but Grant has gone from an informed beat reporter to a Kirk & Scot anti Bruce guy and Danny has gone from a passionate Redskins fan who just wants a parade to a depressed, nothing can go right, we're not smart cynic. And people keep egging him on in his comedy. It was ok in small doses but now it's like every time he talks to Craig or JP or whoever is "Craaaaaig" or whatever acronym starts with JP. They actually had a segment on Monday where the two of them ranked the hottest male celebs? I was like WTF am i listening to, and turned on Al Galdi's podcast. On 8/30/2018 at 5:43 AM, Why am I Mr. Pink? said: Fred Smoot can talk. That guy has a funny phrase or metaphor for everything. I thought I wouldnt like his over the top southern thing but I do, he says stuff that is on point as well. I liked Czabe and Cooley in the pm drive home. Cooley and Galdi are okay, Cooley acts too much like a know it all kinda "im superior to you bc I played" prick w Galdi though.

BatteredFanSyndrome Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 My god, the Doc Walker show is the worst sports radio I’ve ever heard. I’m not even one of those guys that hates Doc for his less than insightful tough guy talk. But his show is downright pathetic. First he practically begs for callers, then he demeans them. I see him trying to sell his show as “real” but it’s just real poop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggo#44 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 I caught some of the Junkies yesterday, I'll usually listen to them during Redskins season, and I quote, when talking about the Mystics: "Most of our listeners are fans of the Redskins, Wizards, and Capitals" Good job, Flagship.

purbeast Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 I was just in the car driving back from lunch and flipped on Grant and Danny and they were talking about Rudolph the reindeer. Like WTF? They were talking about something how Blitzem is close to Blitzen, and Dondy is close to Donner or some stupid ****. Then they played the song so I quickly changed it. These guys are SSSSSOOOOO ****ing bad I can't stand them lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justice98 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Strong operation they're building, but I cant see paying for any of it. So no more Aldridge on TNT.

Riggo#44 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 1 hour ago, StillUnknown said: strong lineup, minus Paulsen I read the 1st part of what Grant wrote. Since I don't, and won't pay, for the Athletic now, I can only read a small bit. I am a professional writer and editor, and, in my professional opinion, he sucks. Quote The Redskins didn’t just beat the Cardinals on Sunday. They dominated them. Here is a closer look at some of the numbers and performances that helped Washington improve to 1-0. Terrible opening--does not grab the readers' attention. 1st two sentences are "choppy." Combine them, and give a preview of why they dominated them. It lacks flow and any kind of interesting lead-in. Quote They racked up 429 net yards. The last time they topped 400 yards in a week one game was came six years ago when Robert Griffin made his debut in New Orleans. This is the second sentence, his 1st reason the Redskins dominated the Cardinals. It should be the most interesting and biggest reason for the win. I read this and think "BORING!" Other than the terrible punctuation, who cares? Why is this significant? He should have pointed out this was Jay Gruden's 1st week 1 win as coach of the Redskins, shown the dominance in TOP, how the defense held the Cardinals to 11 passing yards in the 1st half. Philip Rivers had an amazing day, and lost. 429 total yards doesn't mean anything. Quote The chains were moved 30 times by Washington's offense. Passive voice. Never, ever use passive voice--unless you're intentionally trying to hide the actor in the sentence. Typically, you ****ed something up and you don't want to roll someone under the bus, or your client ****ed something up and you don't want to out-and-out blame them. Passive voice is a sign of a weak writer. Grant Paulsen is a terrible writer--he's actually a worse writer than he is radio host. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was using nicknames and nonsense talk that didn't even make sense for him. I switched to music. my advice. https://www.theteam980.com/contact/ Send them a message that this is bad radio. then email inquiry@urban1.com and do the same. I get they are going on the cheap right now. I imagine Doc works for peanuts. But man. It's football season now. Step it up a little. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Sinister Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 14 minutes ago, CrypticVillain said: What makes a good sports podcast? In this day and age, it's a healthy dose of levity/humor, pop culture, and intelligent sports talk (basically, know your ****). I don't think fireside chats works anymore, and if people stepped away for a second, I think they'd realize that shock jock/trollish/ranting caller driven shows don't work either. I listen (sparingly) to some of these guys, and I come away thinking they hate what they do, or want you to hate them, don't know which is worse, honestly. I don't want to feel angry listening to sports talk radio. Even if they say something I don't like (which in LeBatard's case, is pretty frequent), I want to find some middle ground/fairness in their critique that will keep me coming back. That is rare, though. In many avenues of entertainment these days, I see a lot if catering to the lowest common denominator, and it's lead to a poisoned well in many respects.

SkinsHokieFan Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Listened to Sheehan’s podcast. I think he will find some rythym soon. I actually like the fact it will be a mix of the shows he did with Loverro and a little bit with Cooley. 1 hour 8 minutes. Perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
