Gonzo Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Also, is mike and mike the worst radio show on espn? I can think of talking heads who I dislike more, but their show is just hot garbage. Cowherd. Just can't stand that guy. I'd honestly rather listen to Mike and Mike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowherd. Just can't stand that guy. I'd honestly rather listen to Mike and Mike. Cowherd is definitely the guy I dislike the most, but his show can be interesting at times. I don't know if it's simply the wider range of guests or what. Mike and Mike is just boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzo Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Does ESPN Radio still do the V Show? Because I loved the hell out of that show when I could listen to it. All Night with Todd Wright was pretty great, too, but I know they've long moved on from that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zimbra Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 I haven't watched anything on ESPN that wasn't a sporting event or a 30 for 30 in years and I think my life is much richer for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why the heck would anybody wanna see Golic discus? Is he particularly good with flinging plates or something? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Simmons has to be more valuable to the four letter then half of Mike and Mike, doesn't he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muhammedboehm Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Maybe I missed something but what did Simmons say that would get him fired? I saw him on Twitter call out Mike and Mike for not having him on the show when talking about what he said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Mann Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Short version: Simmons wondered aloud whether LeBron is in decline on his podcast, Golic disagreed on HIS show and called Simmons a media whore in the process. If Simmons feels what he said was misinterperated and was pissed over an in-house potshot, I get that. But responding like a petulant child on Twitter isn't doing him any favors.

Niners Fan in CT Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Any sports radio show that doesn't take callers is a fucking joke and shouldn't be listened to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Any sports radio show that doesn't take callers is a fucking joke and shouldn't be listened to. Strongly disagree. My two all-time favorite radio shows (old TK show and old Lebatard show) never or rarely took callers. Who cares what Louie from the Bronx / pat from voorhees /... thinks?

Josh Mann Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 That's the hell of it. Simmons isn't wrong but this is yet another example of him punching at a windmill. At this point, he needs to annoit one of his Grantland underlings (with all due respect to Mike Zeidler), a Twitter Bitch for these situations. Because it's clear when he takes matters into his own hands, this happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Who cares what Louie from the Bronx / pat from voorhees /... thinks? That IS sports radio. It gives the fans of the team a voice and an opportunity to show their displeasure. Yes, just not buying tickets is the best way to do that but this is a more entertaining way to do it. Plus, who doesn't love to hear these oddball callers get into an argument with a radio personality? If you don't take calls you are chickenshit..

odessasteps Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 I dont. When i listen to podcasts with caller segments, i skip them. The only exception is 606, since im usually in the car, but will mute when certain teams' fans are moaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I wanted to listen to mouth-breathers who have as much inside knowledge and presence as I do argue passionately over sports, I'd just copy a reddit thread into a text-to-speech program. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raziel Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 It was neat, but I take umbridge at Francesca Lesnaring Kay. Kay is better, but that's mostly because Francesca has been unlistenable since him and Russo split. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
