More scores after we just heard them two mins before. Then 5 mins later we went around the league with scores again. Then the overnight host must have replayed his interview with John Clayton about 10 times the whole night. ESPN Radio is so incredibly bad. At least FSR took calls from the listeners and talked a variety of sports topics and didnt repeat scores ad nauseaum every 2 minutes.

Compared to Bob Valvano JT the Brick is excellent. Valvano is pre recorded interviews for 3-4 hours and scores every 10 mins. I don't understand the love affair that this guy has with Mike/Mike saying they are the highest radio show nationally and locally. If they were so good why were they always at the bottom of the ratings? The show is terrible too bad nobody had the guts to tell Craig that this morning.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13975530.post-84701714131019715402007-02-24T11:55:00.000-05:002007-02-24T11:55:00.000-05:00espn850.com was registered to Craig K. back in Nov...espn850.com was registered to <BR/>Craig K. back in Nov according to a WHOIS search.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13975530.post-21044378618664018392007-02-24T09:17:00.000-05:002007-02-24T09:17:00.000-05:00How exciting Greg Brinda is going to be on from 6p...How exciting Greg Brinda is going to be on from 6pm-9pm.

For once, a new owner comes into this market and doesn't whack every warm body in the building...we should be thrilled, to some degree, that there isn't a bloodletting in this era of corporate radio consolidation and the inevitable human fallout.<BR/><BR/>Liking FSR over ESPN Radio is a matter of personal taste, as is which hosts you'd like (or not) on the air. I'm not able to listen to Mike and Mike or Czaban, but I know Dan Patrick certainly played the Pacman Jones story to the hilt. So ESPN doesn't bow to the NFL, unless it's a questionable dramatic series...<BR/><BR/>No folks, I don't work for WKNR.

This is 7pm to early am timeslots I'm talking about. It has some rough spots but was far better, actual sportstalk instead of constant updates or promoing what else is on/available with ESPN content. And as the past few days showed what ESPN doesn't want to cover based on their contracts they will bury, the alleged Pacman Jones incident in Vegas with the NBA All-Star game. Guess if the NFL says jump ESPN says how high anymore.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13975530.post-16520035376183285662007-02-23T13:32:00.000-05:002007-02-23T13:32:00.000-05:00Not to sound like a kid at Christmas but...is that...Not to sound like a kid at Christmas but...is that all there is?
