Steve Czaban radio show cancelled By FSR... SAS replaces... Czabe to SNR

Re: Steve Czaban radio show cancelled on Fox Sports Radio. SAS to replace.

Fox canned Tony Bruno for Van Earl "I love the sound of my own voice" Wright. Nothing they do surprises me. I hope Czaban ends up on sirius.

Still pissed.

Steven A Fucking Smith.

Jesus.

 

Re: Stephen A. Smith To Fox Sports Radio?

Why the love for Czabe? Easy. The top story is talked about, Steve, Scott, and Solly give their opinions, whether it's sophomoric or intelligent. Czabe loves to talk about his obsession with gambling and Vegas, the funny ass Wednesday segments (from Mancrush to Ask the Commissioner [Stern]), TMBADQ, and Lock It Up.

Simply put, for me, it's was the content and breadth of how much info they go into when discussing each story and the fact that many listeners see Czabe as the goofy, macho, know-it-all sports guy down the street that you would pound a case of Leinekugels with all day long.

This one hurts. Really hurts. I never forgave FSR for dumping Bruno, though he's returned, and Siciliano and Krystal being jettisoned in January.

I can understand that FSR like to change things up after several years of consistency, but after their January purge, JT and Czabe were their anchors. FSR is notorious for getting rid of great talent and keeping mediocre, as someone mentioned earlier in the thread.

The thought that JT and Tomm Looney will still be on FSR is astounding. Thank goodness I've archived all of Steve's shows since I've gotten broadband.

Methinks FSR had their eye on SAS once he left ESPN and his non-compete clause ran out. I wouldn't have minded for SAS to replace Meyers and Hartman or Petros and Money. Meyers and Hartman is the weak link, IMO, and there was no way that they were going to dump that damn loud-mouth Papadakis and Matt Smith after only about 9 months on the national air.

I hate it. I hate this move.

 

Re: Steve Czaban radio show cancelled on Fox Sports Radio. SAS to replace.

I'll fess up and admit it: I listen to Myers, Hartman and "Feeling You" Vic The Brick almost daily.

Not because it's smart or funny, but because of its train wreck value. The show is so bad it's good. Today, they were arguing over which Tiger skank -- their words, not mine -- was hottest. If nothing else, it was entertaining, which is all I want out of my sports talk radio.

Besides, where else on the dial can your hear Gregg Doyel being called "the voice of reason?"

 

Re: Steve Czaban radio show cancelled on Fox Sports Radio. SAS to replace.

You're a bigger man than I am if you can stomach hearing Vic the Brick "FEELING YOU!"

 

Re: Steve Czaban radio show cancelled on Fox Sports Radio. SAS to replace.

10 pm to 1 a.m. Eastern. They bumped JT the Brick to the overnight slot a few months ago.

 

Re: Steve Czaban radio show cancelled on Fox Sports Radio. SAS to replace.

Those days when I'm up early enough, like tomorrow, I like listening to Czabe. They seem to enjoy what they're doing.
But shitcanning him for Screamin A? Give me a fuckin break.

 

Re: Steve Czaban radio show cancelled on Fox Sports Radio. SAS to replace.

There's really only a handful of national radio hosts whose shows have a different sound from all the other prattle:
1) Jim Rome (love him or hate him, his show is far, far different than anything else)
2) Andrew Sicilliano (when he had a national show)
3) Steve Czaban (just the right mix of goofy segments that invite the audience to participate, few boring interviews, and great humor, all without being the typical annoying call-in show).
See a trend here, FSR?

I didn't hear any of his show this morning. Did he mention the cancellation on air today?

 

Re: Steve Czaban radio show cancelled on Fox Sports Radio. SAS to replace.

This is like trading a diamond for a turd, or something like that.

 

Re: Steve Czaban radio show cancelled on Fox Sports Radio. SAS to replace.

Hell, shitcanning the "Boom Goes the Dynamite" guy for Screamin A would be a bad move.
