Look at mouse jumping on the bandwagon.
I hate the sports grind, I think it sucks! Taylor is ok, but forces me to turn the channel to much...Duel and Minnix are ok.
But how about a show with more calls and interactive takes, why not focus on the community. make it more local and less mainstream.
I'm never up early enough to listen to Dunham & Miller. I do think the Hardline has the edge over BaD Radio, but I preferred BaD radio before Donovan replaced Jimmy Christopher. Jimmy barely had any on-air presence, but I liked Bob and Dan having the show center on them.
The Ticket in Dallas is by far the best sports talk station in America. The fact that they're the original "The Ticket" and seemingly hundreds of other stations around the US have copied their name, their logo, and tons of their segments & bits says something.
Conversely, a new sports station in Dallas called The Fan is probably the worst sports radio station in America.
I like the Musers the best, but basically every weekday show on The Ticket is great. I thought The Hardline sucked for a while during their Greggo-less transition time, but they've gotten better here lately.
The ticket in Big D is the best. Only negative thing I have to say is Dan. But he has grown on me a bit the past couple of years.
I actually like the guy who fills in sometimes for mike and mike-erik kuselias. Hes funnier than greeny and I just like his takes more...greeny bugs the out of me sometimes...should be kuselias and golic. I don't like van pelt, he just thinks he's too badass sometimes with some of his rants.
rome is ok but the clone is getting old, d-bags sitting at home all day writing thier takes down on paper and creating stupid ass songs, some times funny but getting old really fast.
petros and money....thats money. chris and jason by far brutal, at least taylor has bits and takes
The Dan Le Ba Show with Stugotz I dont listen to it live just get the podcast cause its based out of miami but its the best sports radio out there

I remember Scotty!!
Remember John Renshaw?
How about Papa Joe?
Cowherd is just absolutely horrible, the guy is an idiot and a .
Dan Patrick's show is way too boring, also a .
Mike and Mike are good, I watch the show, but they're too soft for me.
I love SVP on Sportscenter, but I don't listen to his radio show. When I have, I just found his co-host too be too ty. Havn't really given it much of a chance.
I love Rome. Hope he has a show til the day he dies.
I don't even listen to the local , cause it's unfortunately been horrible for years.
I bet LeBa has a real entertaining radio show, I need to check that out

Was never a huge Czaban fan back in the day, but I listen to him in route to studio, and he's growing on me. Bruno is back at 9pm and he's good. Not quite there yet where he was with Siciliano.
Trying to listen to more of the Ticket in Dallas stuff. Listened to Musers while they were in town for training camp.
worst is Petros and Money for me
best is JT and Looney
The Herd is by far the worst for me.
Petros and Money show is a joke, as far as Czaben he is a Redskins fan as well so I am partial to his show plus he is not afraid to be critical of his team.
Hey Peter, seriously, when are you guys going to bring Greco to the Ticket. The guy hit a homerun when you were on vacation. He kept up with the golf talk, that seems to take over the show each week, and you know as well as I do the guy knows his baseball, football, and basketball.
I've sent e-mails to Bolger but that guy never e-mails back. You all have the Sports Grind which SUCKS, and yes I know they pay for their time, but come on man. Make a stand, you've seen here, ESPN is starting to take over the local market, lets get with the program.
just my 2 cents though.
good to see you checking in.
Like B-Hath, I'm simply never up early enough to listen to the Musers. I've heard a few of their bits on the Top 10 (or occasionally when I have a dentist appt), and have laughed my ass off each time. The segment where they discussed which races their sexually attracted to had me ROLLING.
I like Rome, but I hate his interviews, and his belief in his own awesome interviewing ability. I don't think I've ever heard him ask a challenging question.
The Herd would be much better if Colin ever admitted when he was wrong.
Rome is terrible. It was good for about the first week i ever heard it, but the fact is its the same over and over and over and over...terrible interviews, repe ive BS schtick, terrible interviews...The only thing that keeps that remotely interesting is the emailers, which rarely get any time anymore.
I actually dont mind Burns and Everett in the morning, although i definately get bored with the Tiger adoration, and the hours of golf talk...no one really cares about your "lunch bets" guys, at least cut it back about 3/4 and it would be tolerable.
Dan Patrick is ok, just bland i guess...
i suppose i dont really have a favorite, but i enjoy STSA with Taylor, i guess im the only one? their 'good ol boy' schtick is entertaining.
I thought I'd give Bruno a try. My memory of his morning show with Siciliano was that it was a weaker Rome knock-off with only the emailers/faxers being funny and a lot of uninteresting blather between the two.
So to try the current Bruno show, I downloaded the mp3s of his site. I decided to try a real news day, June 23rd, the day Jefferson was traded to the Spurs. Now I wasn't expecting any great Spurs-Bucks talk, but some kind of sports insight or at least the unthinking man's response : a 'take'.
The RJ story barely had any mention. It was briefly brought up in the first hour as a one sentence news story, and Bruno asked one of the many people working on his show what he thought about it, and the other guy had a generic response of liking it. Then Bruno had a sentence about the Bucks dropping salary.
In the second hour it only came up when Bruno was talking to a drunk, supposedly female regular caller from Wisconson and asked her what she thought about it, and she didn't even know who RJ was.
That was it. A reasonably large sports news story. And Bruno himself didn't have anything to say.
He did have plenty of thoughts and devoted time to Octomoms and the Jon and Kate + 8, and a pinball hall of fame, and 10 minutes devoted to a contest on his site, plus ruminations on name brand televisions, transformers, public school teachers, a variety of other reality tv shows, and pretend teasing of an intern. Oh, and ancient sounddrops. At least Rome will create new ones from time to time. But the sound effect of an opening beer bottle and pouring it into a glass, with Tony making "oh yeah!" noises and his callers telling him that he's "so crazy!". Holy crap!
I did try to listen to some of the June 24th show, a pre-draft show, but didn't really get to far into it after Bruno said that he didn't even know who any of the players were when trying to discuss even the lottery picks.
Guess I have to try even harder now to find good sports talk from around the country because i still can't get it locally, either produced locally or syndicated from national shows.
He was much much better when he was in Portland. Now he's a giant .
Anyone care to photoshop this with Herd's head and a microphone?
This is what I'm talking about, NO answers from the guys. That is why most here have been converting to ESPN. It just seems like the Ticket doesn't listen to those that are listening to that station. Oh well
Is it me?
I know our PD has been sidelined with some health issues lately, so he's getting up back up to speed. You've got to realize that Bolger gets a ton of emails each day, and tons of tapes/auditions...etc.
I doubt heavily that people are converting to ESPN because they feel like Bolger isn't responding. If they do, its because they like a show better. Radio ratings will be more accurate when the new measurement period starts next month.
Because SA isn't a huge sports town, you are ever going to have a ratings monster like you see in other major cities. You could bring the Ticket guys from Dallas, or whomever you thought was the top hosts here to SA and the ratings wouldn't jump that much.
Greco is great, that's why I try to get him included as much as possible. If it was up to me I would have a lot more local shows and have them all 2 hours long. That way they never have to "fill" time, they could come in with hot sports opinions.
I don't envy C&D having to a 4 hour show everyday. Taylor as well for 3 hours.
I'm doing some stuff to get more people involved. Priest Holmes hosted with me a few times and he's good, as is Bruce Bowen.
Priest may be doing Friday's show during football season with me.
I'm talking with Bruce on doing a few shows next week as well.
Greco and I have talked about an idea and it's in the works.
Always good feedback here. Constructive criticism is always good. I know that all the hosts read this board, although few admit it.
Hosts are always looking to improve their show. When you see a comment of "This guy is a , and my ear bleed when he ****....etc" We laugh. It makes the commenter look like a internet troll tough guy.
What's better is when people say, I don't prefer (SHOW X) because they tend to bring up too much ???, and they do too many interviews, or calls...etc. That's the best way to shape the shows.
Why would Priest Holmes or Bruce Bowen want to do local San Antonio radio?
unless they are just trying to get as mic time as possible so they can some day get a real radio gig in a larger market? And if that is the case then we will never get to hear their honest opinions,after all they will only say what they think they need to say to look good, that way they can get that other better paying job they are auditioning for in the fist place.
