I think the sports radio here is a lot worse then it was two years ago. Here's how I look at the two stations:
Twibell and MaCarrigher (sp?) - a really terrible show. Twibell (at least how he comes across on radio) is a pompous, arrogant guy. He's very boring, he's a HUGE KU homer, and he loves dropping names of all the athletes he knows or has interviewed. That show should be broadcast in nursing homes. And the way they read the texts "This from the 913…This from the 816…" Just stupid. For the first two months of the show I don't even think they took a call, and then it seemed like they only did it under duress. One of the worst shows I've ever heard.
The Border Patrol is better, but I hate how they play the music under themselves speaking, and St. John sometimes takes so long to get to what he's trying to say I turn the channel. A little too much jacking off with kidding each other around.
I like Chris and Cowboy. They do their homework on stuff, they at least have a knowledge of the NBA and Cowboy can talk NBA, even though they rarely let him. I know this is a big KU town, but I don't see why we need Iowa State/K-State breakdowns when there'e good NBA stories. But they're entertaining, I think they're funny.
I don't listen to Petro, though I understand he's good. I listen to Jim Rome mostly because I like having my emails read over the air.
Neal Jones is either too limited in his knowledge, or he thinks having a one track mind is good radio. He'll stay on one topic for 4 hours. "Hey Kansas City! Do you like the Cassell trade, yes or no? Call me!" Then you get tard after tard calling in and saying the same things over and over.
KK sucks. He's the only guy with a bigger ego that Twibell. He has a self righteous attitude even though he shouldn't. He whines and complains all the time. He makes obvious observations and acts like he just discovered cold fusion. He'll never admit that he's wrong. Really, he sucks. His show actually sucks worse than Twibell's. And the Smoke n Fire? A total abortion on air.
I like Nick Wright. I'm politically 180 degrees from him, but I like his show. He does his homework and he has opinions that aren't faked for the air.
And other things: The live press conferences 610 airs with Mangino and Bill Self are awful. Unlistenable.
