Thank god for Sirius.

I'll second that.

I've been out of the country for about a month so I only got to listen to the new 106.7 station for two days. Obviously, this is merely a first impression:

1. The Junkies' act is the same as it has always been. Generally good, sometimes brilliant, sometimes horrid.

2. Mike Wise needs help on the air. Let's just say he isn't a natural for radio. He's a smart guy and can probably pick it up, but right now he needs a pro on the air with him to keep the show from getting bogged down into long ruminations about his dog. Wise has promise but needs someone there to act as his "training wheels" for a while...

3. After one hour of Lavar/Chad, I don't think I'll be tuning in for much more.

Chad Dukes lost all credibility in my book when he was blabbering about how the skins should go after Favre a while back. I distinctly remember "Every TRUE skins fan should want Favre in DC". Donk. Lavar doesn't have enough of a presence in my book. Mike Wise is legit, however.

This is Mike and Mike pre-gaming around 4:30am before the show starts.

Ok Mike you like the Cowboys this weekend and I like the Redskins, lets argue about it.

Oh and Mike your kids had a sleepover this weekend, think up some crazy story to make everyone laugh.

Oh and the other Mike you lost a bet and you have to wear a leperchan suit this coming weekend.

OMG this is all great stuff they are going to love it!

ZZZZZZZZ...me on the highway listening to them while going to work.

I have not listen to them in over a year, their crap is so canned they should start calling their show Natural Light because it only comes in a can.

The Junkies can get old as well but at least during football season you know they are passoinate about the Skins.

The worst is the stupid schtick they go through with the lead pipe locks segment during football season... all the stupid voices and sound effects. I can't even take it anymore. And then they laugh afterwards like it was the funniest thing ever. :vomit:

I know! It sounds like a goddamn Transformer having an orgasm.

Having had the pleasure of knowing and working with both the Junkies and Mike & Mike...umm, I'll stick to my Saved by the Bell reruns weekday mornings on TBS.

Seriously though, Mike & Mike is the greatest morning radio show there is. Believe dat!

As for Cowherd, not a big college football fan and I am a big Redskins fan so I don't listen to his show that often (plus I'm generally busy, meetings, work, posting on the warpath, etc) at that time of day. But I must say, while I've dealt with his producers the past few years, only recently have I really gotten to know Cowherd personally...and honestly I was kind of ready for him to be a total jerk. But he's not, not at all. Extremely down to earth, friendly guy. I never thought when I came up here that Colin Cowherd and Sean Salisbury would be my favorite on-air personalities off-air. (Brian Kenny is up there as well)

I am not trying to be a jerk to you at all and I respect that you have a great deal more insight then I do but as a sports fan who listens to sports talk radio the Mike and Mike show has become complete garbage, IMHO.

Sorry SS, but respectfully I'm not a fan of the big dogs on ESPN radio. I think Golic is funny, but Mike Greenberg's girly man schtick is SOOO tired. And I just can't stand his voice. Plus, commercials take up at least half of their show. It's amazing to me how many ads there are. And nothing is more annoying than radio ads IMO.

I think Colin Cowherd is pompous as hell. He LOVES the sound of his own voice, and without anyone else on his show, it has a feel of him just forcfeeding his opinions. Plus he loves to bash the Skins.

I've only heard Brian Kenny's show once, and it was pretty solid. Doesn't Van Pelt have his own show now? He's my favorite of the ESPN anchors, plus he's a local guy. Is he a Redskins fan? I think he went to Sherwood High School and I know he's a Terp.

He did indeed.

Seriously...I watch SBTB reruns in the mornings. My thoughts on Mike and Mike the show are that they can be good and their shows have good elements to them, but overall sometimes maybe they try too hard. My thoughts on Mike and Mike the people I'll save for another time. But honestly, I don't listen to them that often because in the morning, apart from checking this site, I tend to limit my sports exposure before I get to work because I know I'll be bombarded with it at work. I need balance in my life.

Not as big a fan of Cowherd is of college football so I generally don't listen to his show but he's grown on me as a person

SVP is a huge, huge, huge, Terps fan. It's kinda disturbing but good for him for being so passionate about his Terps. His radio show is pretty solid. He's got a face for radio

...seriously though, his show is good.

I like Doug Gottlieb's show.

But truthfully, I don't listen to that much sports radio. And come football season, I generally will tune in online to 980 to get my Redskins fix

Where have you been for 150 years?

MTK · 07-16-2009, 11:47 AM

I have a love/hate thing with Cowherd. Hate how he comes off sometimes as a know it all jerk, but he does make me laugh at times with his non-sports observations and the guy does know his college ball.

skinsfan69 · 07-16-2009, 11:55 AM

Lavar's show isn't going to last. It will go through football season then it will die. DC isn't NY, Chicago or even Boston when it comes to sports. Even though the team has been average to below average the last 16 years, DC is still a Redskins town. There isn't enough of a market for two sports stations cause not enough people care about the Wizards, Nats, MD. football/basketball or Caps. That's why Snyder merged with Clear Channel. He wasn't getting enough ad dollars or ratings to support John Riggins and co. Hell they're still not and that's why you saw Koken and BMitch get the ax.
