The Official LGP Pittsburgh Sport Radio Thread

[K2]

I like Grimm...good to hear him on the fan. I kind of am entertained by his weird inflection and mispronunciations.

Kovy needs to score 3 more goals this year so I can call Fillipponi and harass him about how he said Kovy wouldn't score 5 for the Pens.

[jimjom]

He called himself on purposely mispronouncing MAFs name this past Saturday. Kind of funny.

[Ned Braden]

In a way, I feel bad for Vinnie. He tries, but he is just a dumbass.

Actually he doesn't try all that much when it comes to learning Pittsburgh sports ... cannot argue with the dumbass part.

[jimjom]

Vinnie is a perfect baseball show host, and he knows football but mostly NFC related due to his time in Seattle. He has lots to learn about hockey.

eww its weird to see someone actually admit they like Grimm. He stunk on the X and im sorry he still stinks.

[Bioshock]

Oh god... The host at 6PM is acting like he knows hockey.

This is a train wreck of negativity. Reminds me why i normally don't listen to this garbage.

[tonysoprano]

Filiponi is a smackoff, bioshock. A smackoff to the highest order.

[DudeMan2766]

He was still taking backhanded shots at Kovalev. I dont know what he has against the guy. At the very least we needed bodies in the lineup, and we got a 1000 point guy who can still skate and stickhandle like his prime for a 7th rnd pick. He's making this 7th for Kovy out like it equaled drafting Ryan Leaf

Filiponi is a bucket of suck.

[slappybrown]

WTF is this "machine" you guys keep talking about? "Welcome to the Machine" etc? I only listen on my way to work, so I assume its someones afternoon show.

[Letang Is The Truth]

the 2-6 show is titled 'the machine' so whenever john seibel comes on and stars the show he always goes GREETINGS AND WELCOME TO THE MACHINE

[slappybrown]

Sounds positively awful

[DudeMan2766]

Filiponi is a smackoff, bioshock. A smackoff to the highest order.

Why am I not suprised

[Bioshock]

Wow, I turned on the fan and thid guy Vinny says that there seems to be a percentage of Pittsburghers who hate or dislike Crosby.

Is this dude even real? Who is he hanging out with? What drugs is he on? I need to stop listening even for the few minutes that I do.

Yeah, I understood when he first started last year, not knowing much. But it's been over a year, and he still hasn't seemed to make any progress on Pgh sports.

I'm sure he is smart when it comes to his comfort zone, but if you are going to be a Pgh based radio show host, you would think he'd have gotten a much better knowledge base ovr the last year.

[cheesesteakwithegg]

I turned the fan on at 9AM today. They had Dan Potash on as a guest, and Giannotti reffered to him as Danny Pucks.

[newarenanow]

Filiponi is a smackoff, bioshock. A smackoff to the highest order.

Hence why I turn the dial at 6pm.

I enjoy the other shows, but he sucks.

You really can't listen to the fan for more than an hour. for instance today, some idiot calls in and calls crosby soft, he's obviously either joking or he's stupid. I'm leaning towards stupid because his reasoning was that Heath Miller came back from his concussion. So after the commercial break they're responding to this guy and his extremely stupid opinion. I feel like they do this all the time, just take one horribly extreme, idiotic call and just respond to that ALL DAY, and act like thats a prevailing opinion.

I called filiponi last night on the way home from class. he was saying that you can't put crosby in for the postseason because some "knucklehead" or something is going to try and take him out so they can win the series. My response was that in a 7 game series that doesnt make sense, and say they get the lightning in the first round, if some lightning player takes crosby out that's going to put a target on all of the lightning skill players. Its the nuclear response analogy. He wouldn't budge.

You sure do listen to this station a lot for someone who hates it so much.

Just sayin'. Are you that into pain or what?

[Troy Loney]

i like to complain about the on air personalities.

Vinnie has more chins than a chinese phone book.

[IanMoran]

Am I the only one that outside of his limited hockey knowledge doesn't mind Vinnie at all? I'll concede his hockey knowledge is limited, but I think he has been trying to learn as much about the game as possible and doesn't attempt to be an expert when he isn't (very annoying to me). Everyone has their areas of expertise, the guy has been covering Seattle sports for years.
