Mike Tirico is the all-time worst who has a nationally syndicated show during prime hours (midday).

The Herd rocks.

I used to hate Jim Rome, but I have recently started to like him because he is one of the best radio interviewers. His callers make the show much worse, though.

Dan Patrick's show is pretty bad. He's a baseball fanboy. Boo! But he knows the ponies which is a plus.

Wow, I'll agree on Tirico. He sucks on the radio. I like him doing tv play by play but he just doesn't have the personality that comes thru on the radio.

And for all of you guys that aren't here in Dallas, well feel very fortunate. Michael Irvin is horrible. Just think of how bad he was on ESPN Sundays and double it.

didnt he get hit in the eye by a football at an nfl teams traing camp a few years ago? think i read that somewhere
Yeah, he did get him in the eye and it's just jacked him up ever since. I just spend my time looking at his eyes rather than listening to him.

Maybe that's not so bad, since I can't stand listening to him, anyway.

Jim Rome
Mike and Mike

Now that Colin Cowherd is everyone Favorite so Far.

Anyone has opinions about the former show
Mike and the Maddog, since the Dog left the Fan for sirus and xm radio. How does everyone feel about the dog left the Fan. Mike Francesa is being so rude to the callers by hanging up on the phone by waving his hands to the producers and nevers gives callers a chance to speak.

Check Mike Francesa Web site.

That is not offical francesa site. The show on WFAN has definitely lost a little edge since dog has left. Francesa is a fastball pitcher and siriusly (notice the pun) needed the mad dog change up. DOg on his own is ok, at least he has another guy who will challenge him and tell him he is out of line. At least Dog can laugh at himself sometimes. Francesa thinks he is so funny which makes him the only one. Francesa's sports knowledge is far superior to dogs. I enjoy mad dogs show a sirius a little more, but depending on the topics/guest i turn back and forth.

I noticed Rome doesn't take calls like he used to if at all anymore. I only listen here and there. I wish Lee Klein was on somewhere. Noticed Ben Mallard isn't on anymore on the 3rd shift. Fired? The Coach on 1090 AM in San Diego is pretty good. I also like Cowherd. 'It's a YOU problem.' :nono:

Yes, Ben got fired along with a bunch of Fox guys.

I really think Ben was the best on the network. How JT The Prick still has a job is beyond me.

They pretty much all suck. The praise for Cowherd is fascinating - I find him painful to listen to. Rome does do a good interview and is probably the most knowledgable. But in fairness, the biggest problem in sports talk is callers. They are universally dumbasses.

Francessa - all I have to do is remember when he was a CBS Studio analyst for the NCAA Tournament - brutal.
