News 610am - going down the shi$%^$? - Page 3

**Lzen** · 03-02-2009, 09:03 AM

I used to like listening to 610am in the mornings. They used to talk about a lot of things that I am interested in, like Jayhawks and Chiefs news. Or even just college hoops and college football in general. Even some NBA stuff. Here lately, however, all I hear on my drive to work (7:45-8:00am) is Roger Twibell talking about the Royals. Every damn day for the past couple of weeks, that is what I hear when I flip over there in the morning on the drive to work. Of course, I change the channel and just listen to 810.

Yeah, I know it is spring training and they are getting geared up for the season. But it hasn't even started yet. We have sports going on now that have meaning. The KU/MU game was a big game yesterday. No mention of it. What about the big trade the Chiefs made to acquire Matt Cassel and Mike Vrabel? I know 610 bought the rights to the Royals games last year, but this is getting beyond ridiculous. Anyone else have an opinion on this?

The only decent sports in the morning is 1510 and the Mike and Mike show. But that's about it.

610 just plain sucks. Twibell is bad, Neil Jones is the most horrific radio host in history -- whiny, cuts people off, has no clue what the hell he's talking about most of the time -- and Nick Wright is a clown of epic proportions.

And 810 is just as bad, with the self-righteous KK and Clinksdork in the p.m. (still want to see that police video KK had suppressed) and the insanely annoying Steven St. Stupid in the a.m.

God bless my iPod ...

See, that is also what I was wondering. It may be that they do throw in a little bit of other stuff. Perhaps at the time I am driving to work it is always Royals discussion time.

Oh well, what can ya do? I sent them an email the other day complaining of this. It probably won't even get read, but at least it made me feel a little better.

What video are you talking about?

Geniuses on 810 are saying at #3 they should still draft a qb.

So much for sports talk radio to find football "expertise"

This is true. There are some severely reeruned callers some days.

Petro is saying he wouldn't have moved for Cassell and at best "he's Trent Green again"

Well, I just listen to local sports talk radio to hear varying opinions and local teams news. But yeah, that is idiotic.

Yep. I don't disagree.

Hope I'm wrong...

Nah he didn't say that he was talking about something Keitzman said a long time ago you'd have to be a frequent listener to know that.

He basically said if one of these other guys Sanchez, Stafford etc become really good and we coulda had him we're all gonna look back and go "coulda had him"

You guys would know more than me but did Trent Green suck or something?

No. Not at all.

But if you hear that someone's upside is Trent Green, that's not really a compliment. He was a successful system QB, but not a franchise guy. And when the line wasn't all world, there was a noticeable drop in his level of play.

More so than what there would have been with an elite talent.
