Words can't describe how bad the Dan Patrick show is...

Wingo is the generic ESPN weekend/fill-in host. Golic can't carry it. I've heard very little so far, but the most annoying tic are Wingo's segues. brutal. When does Greeny's vacation end?

 

I was listening to CBS Sports Radio the other night, via my local sports station. The four idiots on the air spent at least five minutes on cutting one of the guy's toenail, described as "Long, thick, curved and kind of jaundiced looking". "Get that mic in there so we can hear every little crack and pop"... yeah. I say at least five minutes because it was about that long before I hit the button. I thought they'd go back to work, but noooo, they were in middle aged frat boy mode to stay. If they'd had access to a keg they might never have surfaced again.

I don't know whose show it was, and I don't want to know. Jaysus. This is entertainment? Sports news?

 

Also worth noting: After a serious discussion on Trey & Mike about terrible football injuries, Booger McFarland wrapped with, "But you know, that's why we watch the NFL! For the vicous hits!" Followed by HARHARHARHAR all around...

 

Speaking of vicious hits...

 

You unearth an 8-year1old thread for Lupica?

 

Not only is there a ton of commercial breaks, but every fucking thing is sponsored by somebody.
"Now, let's go to the Progressive Insurance hotline and talk to Nick Saban.......his appearance is being brought to you by Ford......."
The ticker is sponsored. The updates are sponsored. Everything is sponsored.
I get that ESPN is a network full of whores, but good gracious.......leave some of it alone.

 

And now the local ESPN shows have copied it, so if you listen you'll be treated to the "Al's Tree Service hotline" callout before they bring on a guest.

 

That was ESPN Radio.

And...

 

Dude. I don't *wanna* get that show.

 

And I'm completely fine with that. There are more podcasts and articles than I can consume as it is. I won't miss missing this.
