It's cute that anyone still listens to it over 97.5


Or radio in general

[SunMo]

97.5 is horrid until 2pm and after 6pm

[Munson]

Is there a reason to listen to radio at any other time?


Mike and Mike in the morning is decent enough. Definitely 294202353535 better then that fargwad angelo

I feel sorry for your mother...and your radio choices if you feel that Mike and Mike are decent. Come to the West Coast, it's a hell of a lot better. We have Stephen A. Smith now.

LOL.  Chuggie be swinging from Dan Patrick's sack. 

ESPN LA actually has some solid locals on air during the day.  10am-2pm is Max Kellerman (moved out here about a year ago) and he's partnered with Marcellus Wiley.  Their knowledge is legit and they are funny as hell. 

The problem with sports radio is really the callers.  Shows that take a lot of calls tend to be terrible shows.  Shows that have less callers and more commentary/interviews are much more enjoyable.  It also helps if the call screeners are told to filter the idiots out or let them on.  I swear WIP's screeners only let people on the air who are going to make fools of themselves but anyone with a legit comment would be stuck in the queue until they get bored and hang up.

You need to understand how I operate in the morning.

I generally resemble a zombie, both in looks and actions. My brain doesn't wake up til about noon-1PM ish...in which case, Mike & Mike work just fine for me.



Edit: What sarge said. callers are idiots.

[ice grillin you]

It's cute how anyone still thinks anyone on WIP gets a legitimate scoop.

cuz called spags not even sniffing andy reid last week and that he was in town because he still has a house in the area....he was saying this when you twitter maniacs were yelling about him being the eagles dc becuse he was gonna be in philly

is wip some bastion of investigative reporting...def not...its a sports radio station...but even being that its way more informative than these idiots on twitter who are all in a race to see who can report something first even if its completely wrong

I swear WIP's screeners only let people on the air who are going to make fools of themselves but anyone with a legit comment would be stuck in the queue until they get bored and hang up.   

this just isnt true...there are idiots and there are excellent sports fans who call...philly and new hork probably have the highest % of good callers in the country just because they are arguably the two best sports cities...the average wip caller....put it this way and this isnt hard to do and its not a revelation of some sort but the average wip caller....not the best ones and not the worst...know more about sports than 95% of this board

[rjs246]

New Hork. I like.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Except that when I said some of the national media folks were reporting that Spags may be hired by EOW, I immediately noted that all the Philly media folks said it wouldn't happen because Andy was out of the country.

I will one day book a ticket once they have flights to that bubble you live in. It's laughable that you think Philly has a seat at the championship table with Los Angeles and New York. 

IGY's fandom is equivalent to that of a fanatic evangelical. The outside world doesn't exist. Not now, not ever.

Don't get it twisted, Philly fights for the championship scraps at the table that L.A. and New York throw at it. They even have to eat from Boston's plate sometimes. Philly is a true #4...but I'm sure Chicago might have something to say about that.

You are the Rush Limbaugh of sports fans. Whatever the hell that means.

By the way, if this 95% of this board know less about sports than radio callers, you my friend are not above the 95th percentile.

[SunMo]

you severly overrate the awful LA sports scene.

it's the lakers and.............?

[Sgt PSN]

LOB CITY!!

But yeah, outside of the Lakers and USC, the sports scene out here isn't the greatest.  Dodgers haven't had any sustained relevance in MLB since the 80's and the brief period the Raiders spent in LA doesn't even count. 

That said, the Lakers alone have more championships than all 4 of Philly's major teams combined.  That makes me sad.  So yeah, farg LA. 

[SunMo]

he's talking about championships

We really gotta stop bumping this thread until Juan gets fired.
