ESPN980 VS. 106.7 The Fan

agree with mcarey 980 had started to get stale...competition will make both stations better

i listen to mike and mike and the herd coming in to work (about an hour) then the sports reporters coming home (1hr n half).

i am getting real tired of turning on the sports reporters and hearing them sound like a morning disc jockey show with such topics like what memorable places on the eastern shore that are still around, absurd ways your company has tried to save money with the recession, applications to be czabe's caddy, etc.

im going to try 106.7 today but i cant stand lavar for too long. i like the man, still rock his jersey but that doesnt translate into being a good radio sports personality.

Tony K I think is replacing Mike and mike starting in Sept. on 980. As for the fan, I liked it much better as wjfk but its growing on me. Mike wise is a good writer but should not be doing a 4 hour radio show. Chad and lavar are getting better but getting sick of them constantly saying their station is not owned by the redskins.

I am an out of town fan but stream both when I listen, which is often now that the season is starting up. I hate the 980 morning shows like mike and mike and that heard guy. They often seem like they like to hear themselves speak... the 106.7 show in the morning are not that great either... they seem a little immature for my taste and often seem like a scene from a frat party that no one pledges! After lunch I started to listen to the Lavar show thinking it would suck but the show was pretty good... a little touch of negativity but they talk alot more about the Skins... I could care less about... is there any other sport!!!! They also seem to have there pulse on the local market better... I lived there for years before. I also was able to call in and ask a question!

Lavar's show is also available on iTunes' podcasts. Search for "Lavar Arrington" and you'll get all the shows. Having it in your iPod makes it portable in case you can't listen when it streams.

As for the show, I like it better than I thought I would. Yes Lavar still whines about his Redskin career, blaming everyone and the moon, but I'm still hanging with him.

Haha good point about the junkies I get that vibe too. But they are entertaining.

I disagree with LaVar's show. I hate it. But 106.7 is good because you can actually call in. I have called in numerous time.

When Doc Walker had his morning show it was the best in town. Entertaining, fresh, funny and he has great inside stories about the Skins. He's not just a company man he brings it straight but not over the top like Brian Mitchel became towards the end. I hate the thought that Tony K is coming back, his show is not Sports at all and he's a big winer.

I thought TK was a hoot back when he had his morning show. It wasnt all sports but i got that fix later in the day. I must agree Doc Walker is one of the best host. I want them to bring the locker room back. Walker seems a little bit more muffled as a side kick to Thompson.
