Every time I put the station on, it just feels like I'm sitting in an interview with Paul Alexander describing all the best qualities about Bradley.Troy Loney wrote:Letang Is The Truth wrote:paul alexander is talking with the excitement of ben stein today. zzzzzzzzzzzzz
except that paul alexander, to me, is leading the media's demand that Pitt hire Tom Bradley....and its made me sour completely on bradley.
So he's talking with passion regarding the Pitt Coaching search.
Lots of non-pitt media people, who really dont care about the program, are really screaming their heads off about bradley, and its because they are bros with tom bradley. alexander is one of those people, but there are plenty of people who are ripping pitt for not hiring bradley and have no basis beyond the idea that bradley is a guy with lots of friends.Troy Loney wrote:Letang Is The Truth wrote:paul alexander is talking with the excitement of ben stein today. zzzzzzzzzzzzz

It seems like Starkey does a lot of steeler interviews too. I wouldve thought Burton would do all of them being he was the steeler insider or whatever they called him when he got the boot from the morning show.viva la ben wrote:Did John Burton get released? I haven't heard him doing updates lately.

Quit talking about it and do it. Call or e-mail Terry Foxx at The Fan and tell him you'd like to try out on a weekend show.Bowser wrote:I really should be a talk show host for part-time job, my drive home, I wanted punch my fist through the window listening to 93.7 from 6-630pm... oh my god was it horrible.
Was this during Filiponi's (sp?) show? I wanted to get home and talk about this. He really needs to learn how to run a show. All he does is ask one question and take calls on it for hours. Okay fine. BUt tonight he asked who is more equipped for a championship run, the Steelers or Penguins. And his ENTIRE schtick was, no matter what opinion a caller had, he stated facts for the other side and ridiculed them like they were wrong.Bowser wrote:I really should be a talk show host for part-time job, my drive home, I wanted punch my fist through the window listening to 93.7 from 6-630pm... oh my god was it horrible.
For as much as Cook complained about it, you would have thought Alomar spit on him.Letang Is The Truth wrote:lol someone just called out ron cook for not voting for robby alomar for the spitting incident. cook seems like a very smug man
More equipped? The Steelers are clearly more likely to win a championship, if for no other reason, the NFL playoffs are just easier to navigate. Three wins?DudeMan2766 wrote:Was this during Filiponi's (sp?) show? I wanted to get home and talk about this. He really needs to learn how to run a show.

Someone would call in and say for example: "Well the Penguins have so and so, and play this style" and he would just shoot back "Um, okay, and the Steelers don't? Well thanks for trying" And the very next caller would vote for the Steelers, give their opinion, and he would go nuts like they were stupid for not thinking the Penguins were the right answer.
I embarrass myself for even still listening to this station, but when Madden's not on (and Yes, Madden is the best/most entertaining) I'd like to hear local stuff. I have XM and just the constant Baseball, NBA, Cam Newton, BCS talk, I just cannot take. So I have to try something. But this is just getting bad, real bad.

He might be more irritating than Vinnie. Driving to Pittsburgh on NYE I was listening to him go on and on and on about how the Winter Classic was already a disaster. He was taking calls asking if people were threw with the NHL and how they handeled the WC moving it to night. I tried so hard to get in to him just to inform him if there were no weather concerns, the NHL never would have changed the time. Then he was reading their backup plans for calling the game, or possibly having the game called before a shootout etc. He kept whining saying "this is an absolute joke and blah blah" Not paying a bit of mind to the fact that it was a worst-case scenerio backup plan and basically talking about it like the NHL was dead set on purposely delaying the game right before a shootout and having it played out before the Feb 6 game.Bowser wrote:Yes, it was during Andrew Filiponi's show that he asked the question and exactly as described above, he would ridicule the callers point of being absurd.
Seriously, dumbest talk show topic I've heard in awhile.
It is one thing to talk about x team (New England) in the NFL is better equipped than the Steelers or x team (Vancouver) in the NHL is better than the Pens but to compare two local teams in two vastly different sports and length of regular season and playoffs is just stupid.
And to drive ratings (the main job for radio hosts) in Pittsburgh, it is proven that listeners and callers are more likely to respond shock-jock or absurd points of views than what makes sense.
Sad thing is, all Andrew did was say "well, like blah blah blah" to me and after 10 minutes, I had to turn it off and listen to 970 AM as Prisuta and Bendel were singing the theme song to 'All in the Family'.
