    The world is righting itself on its axis...Mike trashing Bart Scott as an announcer. It would almost too much if he had good things to say about Bart too.

    Basically that it wouldn't be smart firing Rex if the team ends up having anything but a disastrous rest of the season because the defense is primed to be the team's strength over the next few years. He also said he thinks Rex and MM have a good thing going together, and that if you are going to fire a coach you had better know you are getting something better.

    It was fairly faint praise but it was unusual considering his attitude toward Rex in the past.

    Did he really trash him? He basically said he didn't see him because he doesn't watch pre or or post game shows.

    Does anyone know who the more listened shows are?

    Boomer-Carton against Mike and Mike in the morning slot.

    Fatcesa against Kay-LaGreca in the afternoon slot.

    and which slot is more sought after. i always thought it was the morning spot... if not i could see boomer and cartin replacing this fat tub of shit at some point. although fatso did just ink a new deal last year or the year before.

    ugh what a fat fucking douche.

    Carton is un-listenable. not only does he flip flop on everything, he is not funny. when he goes off on his rants about BBQ or spanking pigs, guitar noise sound sounds, musicals, mimicking or whatever, i want to smack the rest of the crew for laughing bc none of it is funny. NONE OF IT. This isn't Opie & Anthony. He flat out sucks. He's the Clyde Gates of Radio Hosts.

    Boomer and Carton are entertaining

    Fatso is a lame, boring pompous douche who repeats himself fifteen times in any discussion of anything in order to fill 5 and a half hours of air time when his actual points couldn't fill 15 minutes

    an unlistenable fat bore

    Sounds like you spent a great deal of time this morning listening closely to someone you say sucks. Why would you put yourself through that?

    i listen to probably an hour a week total between the 2 shows.

    i didnt like cartin at first but now i find him pretty funny. him and boomer counteract eachother pretty well although it gets a bit annoying when cartin thinks he knows something that boomer has intimate knowledge of.

    the fat fuck, well he is the epitomy of a douchebag. once upon a time he was a guy you could listen to. now he is so frustrating that you have to laugh at him.

    I wished sometimes, for about a second, that I lived in town like New York. Where anything a member of the sports media says is glorified or hated within a minute. Here in Portland, Oregon there is one sports radio station, a couple of radio hosts who comment on local football and basketball. And there is an Oregonian has one sports columnist. and they never say anything bad about the UO Ducks or Oregon State Beavers? Its because we'd shoot them if they even tried ..... people that get rained on this much have different attitudes!

    Francesa repeats himself as often as he does because he's trying to set memes in the sports conversation. Most people need to hear something seven times or so before they really hear it. Before that it's an interesting idea or background noise but not a lot more than that.

    If a person in a position of authority, a teacher for instance, says it over and over again the idea gradually settles in and is more likely to be received and actually processed in the central knowledge base.

    If you're right when you do the repetitions then you've done a service. If you're not, well that's propaganda.

    fatcessa is unlistenable and so is carton. Get satellite radio and you will never listen to either of them ever again.

    The idea of actually paying for talk radio is nauseating. I'd bite the bullet and listen to classical before I did that.
