Top Local Sports Radio Shows?

Talk radio seems to do well until the host's ego takes over and then it goes to .

Actually I thought he was talking about Jim Rome. My wife and I were really big fans of him when we were in college (late 90s-early 2000s) as he was hilarious. Now, his show is dominated by interviews. Sorry, but his interviews bore me to death even when he has a Spur. The format for his show is the same every day - intro, setup interview, interview, talk about how great the interview was, repeat x2 hours.

I like Dan Patrick, but he is similar to Tirico in his monotone voice. Not very interesting sports talk. Of course, there isn't much to talk about right now so I'll try them again come football season.

The Sports Grind is very good. Minorities on Clear Channel?? Who would have thunk it?!?!?

I'll listen to STSA whenever Mike Taylor is fired. He's been on for a almost a year now, so it shouldn't be too long now. He may know his sports, but don't pretend to call MY Spurs "our" Spurs. He is a Mavs fan, and needs to stop calling the Spurs "our" Spurs. That is simply insulting.

I like Chris Duel, but his show sometimes is over my head. I'm 31, and I'm still lost when he starts talking about the "old days".

Dude, you are far away from the ever listening to STSA then.

Ratings for Taylor are better than we've ever had at the station. It's going to be funny on how people are going to lambast him for his Dallas connections, but when Cowboys season comes around, he's going to blow everyone out of the water with his info about the Boys.

Taylor has grown the station 20%+ in e and 24% in AQH rating since he took the helm.

In the words of Larry David..."Pretty, Pretty, Pretty Good"

Taylor is good. I thought he had a horrific start, but he's recovered IMO.

Spot on about Rome. The schtick is just tired and used up and really old. If it isn't interviews its him talking about maybe moving to Satellite Radio or retiring or who knows. Thats the last time I heard Rome he was contemplating during contract time I guess, its just not good radio anymore.
That can be said for the rest of the Ticket for me, I for one just can't get into the rest of the guys on there so its no big deal. I do like Duel's show and the rest of the local lineup on 1250.
I don't think I've ever been able to say that as usually the nationally syndicated shows were better than the local stuff, like back in the Tony Bruno Fox Sports Radio run. I really can't say much either for ESPN's National lineup except Mike and Mike are ok. Colin Cowherd is attrocious and the rest of the lineup, meh.

Oh, and I forgot to mention Rome's pathetic sucking up to every guest he interviews. As if he wants to be best buddies with every guest. Reminds me of the kid who brags he knows so-and-so just to prop himself up.

No problem, DUDE. Ask Duel about ratings and employment status at Clear Channel.

And I do know enough about Mike Taylor that it DOES NOT HAVE TO BE FOOTBALL SEASON for Taylor to talk 100% Dallas Cowboys. That is the one subject he has hammered to death ever since he got on STSA. Might as well talk Cowboys to be on of "our" guys.

In fact, the show should be re-named SPDC - Sports Talk Dallas Cowboys - to appeal to the local SA listener.

Keep in mind the show he replaced, It was not what I call the best quality sports radio out there.
Jeff Vexler may be good but him and Wally talking over each other was like having root canal work done on your eye socket. even a show about cooking would have done better. So before you toot your Ticket76 horn,

you may want to loosen your tight grip you have on Mike's nut sac and look at the big picture.

It's not just always money and ratings, sometimes people just want bull free talk radio. And it seems like those days are long gone.................

[PeterBurns]

With you Mouse. BS Free Talk would be nice.

The latest Radio Ratings Trend just came in today. Haven't had a chance to look at it a lot. Will post an update when it comes.

Do me a favor and include this when you post your next ratings.

[Stacie]

I wish Peter would give me some good ratings!

In the words of the aforementioned Pimp In The Box...EPIC!!!!!!

I'll take Chris Duel's Cowboy knowledge over Sominex In The Box...ERRRRRR Mike Taylor's any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

And the best Sports Talk shows in town still all have one thing in common: Dawn Murphy. Period. Paragraph. End of freaking story.

I was listening at 5:15 for about 10 mintues today and switched between 1250 and 760 to hear the difference. 1250 was yelling about dominatrixes, 760 talked about cowboys.

Like there is a difference?

You mean the big picture that also includes the illustrious Thompson Brothers as PM drive hosts on the Ticket?? By the way, those trends that Peter mentioned, I haven't seen the number yet but the big boss came in just before the show and told us it's the highest rating in men 18+ in the HISTORY of the Ticket.

Is 13 years a big enough picture for you, Mouse?

When you post the highest ratings in the entire history of local sports talk radio in this city, you don't have to try to look good.

Speaking of looking good, anyone else notice Mike Taylor get 2nd place in the Reader's Choice awards for the E-N?? Again, just sayin'...

[Jimmy Bobby]

Eat s**t you stupid idiots. Don't act like you know ANYTHING about radio. Ticket 760 rocks and ESPN is a piece of crap.

This is Mike Taylor's town, people. You losers just happen to live in it. Either get with the program or kiss my ass!

Ya, that was a FUN half-Hour.. then of course I guess to some talking to the ORIGINAL #88 for 15 minutes is not real COWBOY talk... but some of us LOVE the guy... Drew Pearson ROCKS!!!

[Jimmy Bobby]

^ The Stations lap dog trying to look good.

Shut up, Lance, you stupid pot smoker. People who know sports in this town listen to Ticket 760. Just wait till Cowboys season starts. No one can touch Mike on his Cowboy knowledge or his access to players and coaches.

We will dominate the sports scene this football season! Bank on it, idiots!

[Jimmy Bobby]

Drew Pearson? Who the flock is Drew Pearson? How impressive that you people can book 60 year old Cowboys. Mike Taylor talks with TODAY's Cowboys, you idiots. No one gives a crap about Drew Pearson. That loser isn't even in the Ring of Honor.

We laugh at you!

[GoGatos]

It's a complete travesty that Pearson is not in the Ring of Honor. However, anyone who's ever spoken for 5 minutes with the insiders at Valley Ranch knows that Drew Pearson rubbed people in the organization the wrong way before he ever stopped playing. The reason he's not in the Ring is because he continually es about not being in the ring. Also, they'll tell you that Pearson was a bigger coke-head than Michael Irvin ever dreamed of being. There's a reason the Cowboys kicked off him their radio network.

Granted, he's turned his life around now, and deserves to be in the ring of honor. However, Drew Pearson doesn't realize his continual ing about not being in the Ring of Honor is the very reason Jerry will never put him there. Jerry put a dead man in the ring before Drew Pearson for crying out loud, and as long as Jerry is alive, Drew will never get there. Not saying it's right, just saying that's the way it is.

YEAH!!!! Boo-Yah, es!!! I'll bet you little s failed to mention ANY of that when you spoke with loser Drew Pearson on your pathetic little station today!

[Jimmy Bobby]

Oh, and by the way, nice try by your desperate little move by having Joe Reinagel and Bill Taylor try their hand at hosting this week.

Those losers can't even carry Mike Taylor's jock. And tell that gap-toothed Bill Taylor to change his name. There is only one "Taylor" in this town, and his name is Michael, es.

Drew was awesome. as far as the Fun half-hour, maybe for you, but it made for bad radio IMO. Just talk sports with occassional jokes and side notes. Dominatrixes will get you shipped to the new braunfels station next. Just constructive criticism. I would love for ESPN to knock it out the box.
