I have no idea how Poni holds down his job. He's like a less credentialed version of Colin Dunlap

I turn off the FAN when his show comes on. I can't stand him.

I actually don't mind Dunlap. On a scale of A to F, he's a C. Nothing special about his show and he doesn't seem to stretch 2 carefully worded points into a 4 hour show like Filaponi does.

To me, if I had to grade each show on the FAN:

Morning show - B (I actually enjoy all the personalities, even Alexander. I just wish they'd get rid of the overuse of skits and stupid sounds and stuff like that)

Vinnie and Cook - B- (I actually love listening to Cook. Don't know why. Vinnie is clueless outside of baseball, but I love listening to Cook make fun of him)

Miller, Starkey, and Sieble - B+ - (This is my most enjoyable show. They all bring something a little different. Miller is like a miserable old man, which makes me laugh for some reason)

Filiponi - D- (I can't stand his voice, he is whiney, and he just wants to bait callers, which he does poorly)

I like the Panther pre and post game coverage for their games. I'll be interested to see how they do with the BUccos this summer.

[Letang Is The Truth]

cook sounds like a whiny girl all the time. not sure if its his voice or actually the things hes saying but sometimes he is jsut unbearable

[Letang Is The Truth]

and by sometimes i mean all the time

[cheesesteakwithegg]

I really enjoy Miller and Starkey together. Sieble ruins that show IMO. I heard Dunlap fill in a few times for Sieble, and he along with Miller and Starkey were great.

[Nuge]

I listen to Hockey Night in Canada Radio on Sirius 157 in the afternoon (3-6). It's amazing how professional it sounds compared to "The Machine."

[Letang Is The Truth]

a (inter)nationally broadcasted show sounds more professional than an afternoon drive time show in pittsburgh? color me surprised.

[KennyTheKangaroo]

and by sometimes i mean all the time

WEEEEEELL I DUNNO CALLER, I DISAGREE WITH YOU ON THAT POINT

[KennyTheKangaroo]

dunlap is the man, as he jags yinzers around moreso than most

Friend of mine was off for two weeks over the summer and started a Vinnie and Cook drinking game. Not that I'd start hitting the booze at 10am, but he forwarded me what he game up with, and the most seasoned drinking veteran wouldn't have made it past noon. The two things I remember with Cook was him disagreeing with Vinnie (take a drink), repeating himself (also a drink), and making that "aaaaahhhhh" noise when a caller makes a point that he doesn't agree with (two drinks).

Lord I hope there wasn't a category for everytime Vinnie says the stations name. You'd be hopitalized before the third caller gets up here on shports radio nindee tree sheven da faaan

it was, but it was the last rule which he considered optional.

[KennyTheKangaroo]

also kenny the kangaroo does not like how paul alexander more or less berates callers. even if the callers are deserving. hes unprofessional, unfriendly, and unentertaining

Ever since his BFF Tom Bradley got pwned by Pitt and PSU he's been a total idiot.

[Letang Is The Truth]

paul alexander is gods gift to yinzers. we should be thankful to listen to his infinite wisdom of all things associated with being the most important pittsburgh sports reporting personalities ever.

sidebar: matt in shaler is pathetic and i am curious what his user name is here

I like when Cook yells at Vinnie.

vinnie is a nice person. vinnie is not knowlegable on sports. vinnie does not deserve to be berated like a child.

Just be careful about Colin's 'facts'... they tend to change. I truly believe it's one of the reasons he got out of the 'print media'.

Im just glad that DVE didn't hire either Sean or Gene Collier for the morning show. Gene makes my skin crawl, and since Sean is an exact replica of his dad, he does the same.

Vinnie was trying to do hand motions while explaining the Cooke on Jackman hit. Cook jumped in and explained to Vinnie that they were on the radio, so the hand motions were doing nothing for the listeners. I laughed.

He was really trying to use hand motions?
