Worst Damn Sport Show Period.
« on: March 07, 2011, 06:43:32 PM »

What is the worst damn sports show period on radio?

My nominee is the Lose Cannons. The Petros and Money Show (aka PMS) gave them a run for the title, but the Lose Cannons have pulled away lately. The show is just lame with the unfunny Baseball report being repeated at least 4 times a show (with back to back replays each day). They repeat segments that was broadcast earlier in the show. The hosts are some of the worst homers around.

Actually is the LOOSE Cannons, altho you may be saying Lose Cannons as in Loser Cannons.

The show had such promise but really has not lived up to it.  Running the same bits over and over again is either lazy or showing that they can't get guests.

A strong contender for third place is WKNR/Cleveland's "The Really Big Show with Tony Rizzo."

More for its' pathetic supporting cast of Aaron Goldhammer (who lawyer dad is close friends with the family of the station owner, Craig "Son of Mel" Karmazian and is the de facto PD), Chris Fedor (a disposable and forgettable) and Sabrina Parr (notorious for talking at length about dating certain athletes and once dropping the "F" slur towards homosexuals - without any punishment).

Host Tony Rizzo is capable of better radio but is otherwise handstrung by such terrible sidekicks. Like PMS, it often veers away into non-sports stuff, but Aaron is notorious for insisting that teeny-bopper pop music be played as bumper music, talking about clubbing in his $300 skinny jeans, and repeating catchphrases like 'Do it LIVE!' or fancy words like 'succulent' to beyond death. But Rizzo isn't immune - he recently speculated that LePunk James isn't playing at full strength because he might have cancer.

But because WKNR is the ONLY all-sports outlet in town, it by default gets so-so ratings. And management thought it would be a good idea cropping off an hour of the very popular Jim Rome show so as to (unnecessarily) expand tRBS to four hours - one of the dumbest moves in recent memory.

I thought it was because Hartman and Jacobs were just terrible hosts on a terrible sports station (KLAC) in a terrible sports town (LA), syndicated to a terrible sports network (SuperStation KLAC, err, FSR).

While POB is a definite improvement over Chris "Zzzz" Myers, he still can't save the show by himself.

Petros & Money - hands down!
Almost ZERO sports talk and even if there is any it's not engaging at all, just bad, bad,bad!

I could list about a million bad sports talk shows, but the one that I really think took the cake for being just awful was The Pete Rose Show and The Fabulous Sports Babe.

Rose flunked the 10th grade and this came across on every broadcast. It's said that a host will attract his own callers- funny hosts attract funny callers, intelligent costs attract intelligent callers- Rose attracted stupid callers. Brad from Bristol. The guy who thought O.J. Simpson should be allowed to get away with murder because of his football exploits. UGH UGH UGH!!!!!!

The Sports Babe just came off as a bitter, shrill woman. There's a way to do the aggressive, attacking sports talk program. She didn't have it her criticism was for criticisms sake and it really wasn't entertaining. From the outdated sound effects to a horrible lack of knowledge on sports, the show was just plain awful.

I was talking about current sports talk shows, not historical ones.

Yes, The no so fabulous sports babe was awful in it's day. Anyone who looks like a cross between Lynn Samuals and Roseanne Barr is not a babe either.
