Sports Radio in the Gump

When I hear the morning sports radio guys in the biscuit eating town, my mind is invaded by unwelcome images of bad karaoke singers and old school pirates. Not so much because they sing like William Hung or look at all like Johnny Depp, but because they (or one of them, anyway) shamelessly copy, and parrot from the big boys. (national shows) The lack of originality is kind of embarrassing. Folks can listen to the real Jim Rome if they want to. Also, its beyond me, why Paul Finebaum's show is referred to as "our afternoon program"Are the listeners to believe that "Sandpaper" had any part in that? Maybe expecting creativity is a little too much, but at least there is one area where Sandpaper stands alone, and that's the brazen promotion of gambling that is done on the air. I'm surprised the radio station allows such reckless, destructive, and irresponsible behavior. I've noticed that neither "Silk", the midday guys, nor the "Afternoon program" feel the need to promote it. Realistically speaking, the only guy in bed with Sandpaper on this issue seems to be the caller with the slightly feminine voice. What's his name again? Now "I'm not saying anything" but, if Sandpaper would do a little soul searching and just be himself the show would improve. Nothing Personal...

I'm from Not Montgomery and I'm in the same boat.

…did RBR get a prominent mention somewhere recently? The number of “WTF” fanposts and new commenters seems to be spiking.

it almost sounds like

an audition or something…i actually tried counting the amount of back handed jabs and lost count around 20…

It appears to be a copy/paste job from his personal blog, which he linked to in a fanshot today, so that kind of explains that aspect of it.

I still don’t have the first clue what he’s talking about, though.

Some advice

try breaking things into paragraphs. It makes it easier to read. To do thi hit the enter key at the end of one paragraph and the begin typing your next thought or point.

I liked this so much...

…I’ve had my name legally changed to Sandpaper.

My wife’s not too happy about it, but to be fair I have been a little abrasive.

Well nothing personal dude but…you need to do a better job of making your intentions clear..or at least make a damn point!

Translation

John Longshore mimics Jim Rome (“Rack him!”) and has entirely too many handicappers and point spread talk on his show.

W(ho)TF...

…is John Longshore? Sounds like a character from a Robert Louis Stevenson novel.

or

 bad porno…

One of the hosts of the morning show

on Montgomery sports radio. Didn’t you read the post? It’s as plain as day. ; )

by Nick's Hat Band on Jun 17, 2009 8:56 AM CDT up reply actions  

Doesn't...

…Montgomery sports radio usually just focus on who punched whom at the last legislative session?
