    Saw a blurb that Fox Sports has signed Stephen A. Smith to do a morning show. It'll replace Steve Czaban.

    Please, please tell me that's not true. I think Czaban is excellent.

    If my choices in the morning are SAS and Mike & Mike, I'll just give up the radio entirely.

    Fox has some decent talent, but I wish they'd dial down the "Fox attitude." But I guess that's all they have without the network of analysts and writers that ESPN has.
    There is an art to giving scores and sports updates and I don't know anyone on Fox Sports Radio who does it well. Just tell me who beat who, what the score was and if time permits, why or how they won.
    Don't tell me the Broncos lost to the Bills, the Cowboys won, the Steelers won and the Redskins picked up their third win of the year.
    Makes me appreciate Dan Davis whenever he has the conn at ESPN Radio.

    I'm convinced that everyone on sports talk radio is a fucking idiot. Yesterday, I was subjected to the talk of how San Diego is just like Dallas -- it can't win in the playoffs. How about paying attention and not talking out your ass, ya stupid douchebags.

    Please, say it ain't so.

    Screamin' A was a disaster in his brief stint on ESPN Radio.

    What makes the Fox honchos think he'd do any better with them?

    The overnight guy who works with J.T. the Brick (the announcer from the Best Damn Sports Show Period) does a decent job most of the time... Plus, last night, he ripped the asshat weekend guy a new one for making fun of waitresses in the whole Tiger fiasco. Won a few points with me.

    Czaban's blog:

    File this one under “Horrible and Ironic Ways (For Your Radio Show) To Die.”

    My contract with Fox Sports Radio has not been renewed. The last day of the “Steve Czaban Show” is scheduled for December 23rd.

    Steven A. Smith will be my permanent replacement.

    Now, you can chew on that one for a bit.

    Ugh.

    This will not end well, Fox.

    So I guess in the afternoon, we also get "Screamin' A. Smith Reloaded," too?

    Fail.

    As for Czaban: Maybe Sporting News Radio is an option. Thay apparently have no morning show at the moment ... and he was the morning guy there in the late 90s, when it was One-on-One Sports.

    No more Leinie brothers on Fridays? No more "This might be a dumb question but ..." segments? No more "small school ass-whippings with the awesome drum line music" segment?

    This sucks.
