undertow Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 2 hours ago, JoeFan said: I loved Mike and Dog. After Chris left, Mike became unlistenable. He became even more full of himself and constantly interrupted everyone. It was one thing to interrupt dumb callers. It was another thing to act as if he knew more about football than Phil Simms on his Sunday show. i generally enjoy ESPN more because you can hear their top analysts. Loved Mike and Mike when they were a team. The best local guy by far is Brandon Tierney. He is energetic, opinionated, and a huge Jets fan. I wonder how many of you know that John Sterling had a sports talk show on WMCA in the 1960s? I agree about Francesa just made the same comment...not only did his ego get out of control but he started to flip flop on every subject and deny it even tho it was on tape. lol He ended looking like a fool and being a punchline. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post TuscanyTile2 Posted January 24, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 24, 2023 I just ran an errand and turned on WFAN. Carton and Roberts were talking about the hotel room that Evan Roberts booked in Vegas. I realized "WTF am I listening to?!" about 10 seconds in and switched to ESPN. Even though I loathe The Michael Kay Show, at least he was talking sports (and he was talking about a topic that made sense - the possibility of the Jets acquiring AR12). But I'm still amazed that C&R are on the air (and I think they're #1 in their time slot). They are PATHETIC at their job! 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that says more about the age of the general listening audience than anything else. Your prime time audience now are people who have grown up on the rot that is now ESPN tv, where it’s who’s the coolest, most hip person and not who knows real sports. That’s why Kay added Peter Rosenberg. He belongs on a sports talk show as much as I would giving physics lectures at MIT. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gen X Jet Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Only thing good about WFAN is it hasn't devolved into a progressive hellscape like much of the rest of sports media but I do agree with the sentiment of others that the talent needs to improve. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ESPN radio is pretty much a shot of leftist social politics with a sports chaser. Kay is clueless about how bad he is. For every interview he reads from a list of questions he prepared. He doesn’t consider any answer and goes off to the next question. There’s no building upon a topic or exploration into something interesting if it comes up. It’s simply a grind until the end that’s painful to listen to. Mike and The Dog were good because they were engaging and often had much more fun discussion. Bart and Hahn are very different and I like them most of today’s radio shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bart and Hahn is the worst over-the-air radio sports show on local radio. Alan Hahn will start to ask Bart a question, and then go on-and-on for what seems like 10 minutes - re-asking the question over and over and then pontificating endlessly before poor Bart has a chance to answer. Bart than has to rush his answer before Hahn will interrupt him in mid-sentence. I wish Bart would just punch Hahn in the face to shut him up. Bart's been reduced to the idiot-side-kick role with his funny-voice that is not funny. I can't imagine this is what Bart signed up for when he left WFAN and moved to ESPN. Bart is great on the SNY Jets shows and looked like he would have a promising career at ESPN. I hope this pairing with Hahn has not ruined Bart's future in this business.

The more I would listen to him I came to appreciate the talent the guy has and can get past the Giant's lunacy because I would prob do the same with the Jets. His Saturday show is actually very good.

The only time I ever turn it on is for short trips in the car when running errands. But even for that short amount of time I can't bare to listen, it's so awful. Probably 75% of the time I tune in they're not even talking about sports. This morning, I heard Gio talk to Boomer about shotgunning chili. I immediately turned the radio off. Almost every time I turn on Carton/Roberts it's even worse. Who in the world listens to this crap? And if people aren't listening, what is management doing? I used to really enjoy the station. Now it's a disaster. I have totally turned them off for god. Why in the world anyone true sports fan would kisten is beyond understanding. Such great stuff on YouTube for true Jets fans like @Green Bean, @bla bla bla, Frankie From Flatbush, Buffalo Jets Fan, Richie from Jets Media, Jake Asman, Jeremy from Jets Chaos, Tyson Rouche, so much to choose from. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
