Which is infinately more relevant and entertaining to me than fretting about Brett Favre's pee pee images and Heat-a-mania, not to mention any Colin Cowherd take ever. . But you enjoy that. I'll take this any day:

But the guys who constantly talk this stuff JB, are the national versions of.....Tony Rizzo.
Again, too much to ask to put 10 minutes of work into your show.
I hear ya JB, there are MORE guys nationally who are as worthless and Rizz, Roda, Brinda etc. The difference is you can find guys who take a little pride, and put a little work into the show.
I've pimped LeBatard on here, and it's of course subjective, but a good example. That is Lebatard, perhaps because he takes so much pride in his writing - takes pride in his show. He's very concious of not taking the "easy road" and doing the usual garbage sports radio. For example, the "Fake pre-game Show" he has, where he refuses to just give nonsense opinions on 15 games each week, avoiding the per usual extremely lazy radio. Move over to the dial here for Browns pre-game. You've got a couple jokers, who tell you in advance, and during the segment, that they aren't good at picking games, and they don't know much about some of them - then proceed to take over an hour of the show....going over the games. Imagine that thinking in any other disipline. Would you come hear me speak about the works of Shakespeare, if I admitted going in I merely browsed a couple sections?
Then you could turn it over to Rizzo for Browns pre-game, where in week 16, as Wallace was clearly placing himself among the best receivers in the league, you could here Rizzo refer to him as, "That really fast guy from the Steelers" Ever here of Aaaron Rodgers, Rizz? Brutal. And not the least bit funny by the way, even though he tries hard to be.
I don't listen to Cleveland Sports radio because it's HORRIBLE. And nobody puts any GD work into it. I, like you, would rather be tuned in locally - but nobody is affording me that luxury.
