San Antonio Sports Radio does anyone even listen???

[Gervin44Silas13]

Does anyone listen to any of the local shows now days...

Is its true Mike Taylor was broadcasting from his closet out of town...guys like always moving...does he even broacast local??

Sports grind Is meh....one of the guys try's to sound like Stephen A Smith

Duel....rambles on too much way too delusional at times....used to be okay but is WAYYYY to nostalgic


yah never mind still sucks...wish they would change the formula here



Worst of the Worst back in the day,,,



Kevin Boons this guy was a fucken bigot

Don Harris guy was a egomaniac on the radio

CJ Silas this dis chick was always sucking Laker dick

Andy Everett always sucking the Tiger Woods dick

Walter Pasacrita....omg the list goes on......

[rjv]

duel sounds like a high school broadcast and he's painfully boring as is everett, who talks about how boring soccer is and then just goes on and on about golf. harris is preachy and has the kind of humor that the worst comedian at an amateur comedy night would have. sports grind is okay. at least they stick to sports but OP is right: he comes off as a Stephen A wannabe. taylor's schtick is tired and he really doesn't know jack about sports. he's occasionally funny but he's also pretty annoying; last i heard he was broadcasting from hawaii. i really don't listen to much sports talk at all anymore, especially after ESPN replaced le batard with mike greene (that's like replacing an authentic mom and pop italian restaurant with an olive garden) but i'll sometimes tune into dan patrick.

Radio is an outdated format, and COVID / lockdown made it even more so.

I used to tune in to some of the morning shows on my commute to work....but I haven't been in the office in over a year.

Otherwise, I listen mostly to music on Sirius XM or stuff on my phone. I don't think I've tuned into a standard FM or AM station in months.

With the majority of people having access to news, podcasts, etc. at their leisure over the internet, it's hard to see the radio show format lasting for a lot longer.

San Antonio always gets it wrong. 6th or 7th largest city and still looks like a developing country. It’s not a coincidence it gets bad sports press and free agents only come here when plan A, B & C go to shit. Still love those fiesta jerseys that came out about 5 years too late tho.

You could be right about radio but there aren’t too many options for SA content in the other, more modern formats. (At least that I’m aware of)

[TXstbobcat]

For local SA sports talk, I listen to the sports grind on ticket 760 and the afternoon blitz on ESPN SA.

[Dirks_Finale]

Taylor's BS was always entertaining - yeah guys, I'm from the Metroplex but I am a huge spur's fan. :lol You believe me, right? :lol

Jim Rome got old quick

Clay Travis and Jason Whitlock are fucken horrible CT makes everything Political and JW IS always playing the race card,,,,I heard he left the show in the AM

[Gervin44Silas13]

Lol, "was" an egomaniac? He still is - just not on the radio which is probably what you meant. Always puts himself in the story somehow. "I remember", "You know, MY younger self" would have..., "MY son", "I was there that night".... Fool, nobody gives a snit about you. I'll say this though, the recent cuts at his station got his attention. He kind of appears shook and in line nowadays. No one is safe if Randy Beamer isn't. He may have been asked to move on, just like Delaine Mathieu was.

I enjoyed listening to Jay Howard although he too was enamored with himself more than anyone else was. He got kicked to the curb pretty quick once his contract was up. Something about that mic makes people think they're uppety.

Da fuk you talking about? Looks like a developing country? Do you even live here? Have you seen the revitalization of South Town and the Pearl area? San Antonio is still the number one tourist destination in Texas (Sea World, Fiesta Texas, The Alamo & Missions, the Zoo, Riverwalk & close proximity to Schlitterbahn).

As for the media's views on the Spurs, the team sucks right now and you still hear them being referred to as the benchmark of how organizations should be measured and run. Talking heads routinely refer to Gregg's coaching tree, team culture, development of draft picks, etc.. Gregg's influence is overblown and due to Tim Duncan's greatness, but its what SA is remembered for. Winning. Beating the shit out of a Laker's 4 peat quest, winning a game 7 against the Pistons, sweeping Lebron's Cavs and dethroning his Miami squad.

I'll take living in San Antonio over Austin, Houston and the Metroplex any day. They can keep their daily nightmarish traffic, Biblical flooding, over-crowding and subsequent infrastructure issues, homeless problems. Of course, I'm not a kid anymore either & don't care about nightlife, getting drunk and partying to all hours of the night.

Well that's what I think. I also hear many make the same case you're making but SA is still perceived differently.

Nah screw that...

I grew up in SA, I repped SA while overseas in the military, I was all San Antonio. I always said it was the best kept secret in the US. But after being elsewhere, living elsewhere I realized that while the population was growing it was still just a lot of the same town only with more people in it. My disappointment is really with the shitty leadership that's responsible for managing and planning the city. Really ask yourself why SA gets no love from anyone outside of here? Oh and you're complaining about Houston traffic? Just you wait the bigger SA gets the shittier that experience will be. Sea World, Fiesta Texas, The Alamo & Missions, the Zoo, Riverwalk.... really dude? If you are really serious about things think about those attractions and might see it another way.

I've lived in San Antonio (off & on), Austin & (DC Area) as a Military Brat and student. I currently live in San Antonio and have been here since 1994. I haven't been to any of the attractions I mentioned because I've "been there, done that". I choose to live here and travel for vacation. The cost of living is low, we have no sales tax and gas is affordable. The only thing that really sucks is the property taxes. Other than that, the food is great & other things the city doesn't offer (quality live music) is within driving distance.

I HATE traffic so I do my best to drive at off-peak times in the worst traffic areas.

I cant stand Mike Taylor!!

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

San Antonio is a cool little city. I moved to Austin from the east coast in 2019 and I had been to San Antonio before for a few months before I moved down here.

I honestly don’t think Austin traffic is as bad as people make it out to be (especially compared to Houston!!) and it’s a pretty cool city, especially if you’re some what into night life and such. San Antonio is definitely geared more towards families in my opinion. Both cities are pretty decent places to live from what I gather. I’m seriously contemplating of buying a house in one of these (surrounding areas for Austin most likely) two cities.

[Gervin44Silas13]

yah I hate douchebags

[davi78239]

And Taylor just got a three year extension too recently so he ain’t going nowhere any time soon. He thrives here cause it’s San Antonio. Any other bigger market or such forth and he would’ve been out a long time ago. He barely talks sports. I guess it’s his audience here that adores him and he has a large enough following that’s kept him employed here. What does that say about the people of SA maybe?? I personally wish we had more sports talk out of him and I hate the fact that because of his moving around and the company catering to him that Sports Grind lost an hour and had to go back to only two hours. Pissed me off. And the guy from when I listen, seems to repeat himself lots of times and tells the same old stories about himself over again. In some ways, he’s like the new Lisle and Haun. Those guys were like roaches and never died until finally after god knows how many years.

Again, SA is a horribly run or "though out" city. Mike Taylor is a huge drag when it comes to the sports scene around here. He's infinitely faithful to the "Metroplex" and only gives SA backhanded compliments. If we really were a Big City then we'd easily can this fool and hire some real talent. Then again what would they talk about? All we have is the Spurs.

Someone else here just said SA is "a cool little city". How does that sit with you? It's the 6th or 7th largest city int he US yet we're frequently called a town. That is partial reason why pro teams avoid this place.

Facts. I hate that we get the “small town feel” moniker all the time. And another thing about him that I’ve heard over again and again. He hates when the topic of getting other pro sports here is brought up, especially nfl. God forbid that were to happen and he couldn’t talk about his Cowboys anymore. Sorry Cowboys fans. Just my take. It’s like the guy secretly likes the fact that we’re “small town” and doesn’t want to see sa thrive. That’s the vibe I get at least.

pro team don't avoid SA because of its "small town" feel; they avoid SA because it doesn't have a large enough corporate base. and SA is not about to build another version of the alamodome (at the taxpayers expense) only to have it relegated to being a college/high school/monster truck venue. the SA economy is still built around tourism, the military and the medical industry and none of these are the types of industries that buy up suites and help build stadiums.

In the end I’ll agree with you.

In part, that “small town feel” comes from what you described. It’s about the people that run it. They want that economy because it works for them. As long as that remains the case things will stay the same.... while the population keeps growing and growing. City gets bigger but it stays the same.

[slick'81]

I dont think ive listened to the ticket 760 since like 2005:wow

[rr2911]

The last time I listened to sports talk was like three years ago. While I was driving to work, Mike Taylor was on so I listened. His show was the best when he has Jim Bob as a side kick. They were funny and actually did talk sports. The Grind was good, but kind of lost touch with it.

Yeah, I don't like the "small town" bit, but I figure it's people that don't know any better. One of the things I hate to hear is when people that aren't born in San Antonio or even in Texas, refer to this city as "San Antone"! What the hell? I know that name has been around for a long time. It's been in several songs I guess to fit the lyrics, but people actually say that. I guess next time I'll refer to Austin as "Aus" or Houston as "Huey".

The Grind's Calvin Casey announced on Tuesday that after about 16 years on the radio, that Rudy J will be moving on, starting next week after the holiday. Sounds like Rudy is going in another direction with a new opportunity. The Sports Grind has always been my favorite local radio sports show. Rudy provides balance to the show. I miss Salami's information and input as well, especially when it came to baseball. The guy knows his stuff. Calvin said that next week, he plans to talk to the audience about his plans going forward, but hmmm... it doesn't sound optimistic. I can't really see Cal going forward without Rudy, so it's possible that this could spell the end to a looong time SA radio institution that has provided decent local sports talk to the 210. Stay tuned.

Hmmm... Well, Rudy didn't say anything about what he's going to be doing next, nor did Cal, for that matter. As far as the Sports Grind is concerned, listeners will find out next week as to what direction the show is going to go. Calvin may change up the format a bit, or something, or he may have a new partner to work along side(?), or perhaps, the Sports Grind on Ticket 760, may go down in the history books of radio sports talk. Stay tuned... :)

yeah, calvin doesn't have the ability to carry on the show in rudy's absence so i think this is the end of the grind; it's certainly the end of the grind as we know it. calvin is acid and he needs a buffer to neutralize him. rudy was just the person to do it. i also think that cal has some health issues. this likely means that ticket wil have to resort to some nationally syndicated show to take the place of the grind. which will suck. local sports talk is dead now-duel is awful and taylor is lazy with the same tired schtick and he shows no interest in actually talking about sports.
