Very entertaining show back in the day. I always listened to the Coach when I was little. He got so angry over the stupidest stuff. And outside of football, he knew next to nothing about other sports. He especially didn't know his hockey, but played it off like he did.

Coach talked a fan out of driving into the water off the top of the Peace Bridge after another dismal Bills loss best was the fan calling often asking Marv to get his head out of his little Shakespeare book and start coaching the team as it skids into oblivion
dpberr Posted February 18, 2019 Posted February 18, 2019 I really enjoyed Jay Mohr when he got his own show opposite Jim Rome a few years ago. His Jim Rome impression made me laugh every single time. Not sure whatever happened to him - he seems to have largely disappeared from Hollywood.

Very entertaining. 1

boater Posted February 20, 2019 Posted February 20, 2019 When I lived in the DC area, I liked to listen to Tony Kornheiser. His sports coverage was pretty good, but I really liked it when Tony would veer off onto an unsports topic. He's good at talk radio. To my knowledge, TK is off the air and doing podcasts now.

And, I listen to the podcast every day. He's the best and just like you said - it's the non sports stuff that is the best part of it.

Tony and Wilbon are still doing PTI which is still the gold standard for journalists crossing over into TV IMO. Unfortunately it spawned a lot of bad imitations.

Occasionally I’ll watch Around the Horn but only to see what’s on Woody Paige’s chalkboard. 1
row_33 Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 (edited) They finally are increasing Van Pelt and Russillo and Simmons podcast frequencies, the only 3 that matter. Edited March 13, 2019 by row_33

Regarding baseball, it's all Giants...A's get no play at all (even when the A's had their own sports radio station). Football, I could care less about the local teams. Not into basketball talk and hockey talk is non-existent here in the Bay Area (since I despise the Sharks too, could care less). I don’t listen often, but the local guys talking about the Warriors is horrible. It’s like listening to guys discuss what happened on General Hospital yesterday. At least when they talk about the Giants they are discussing what guys do on the field.

The only time I ever seem to stop on their station is when Steinmetz and ??? are on. Occasionally they'll have Papa on (Buffalo guy, but Bay Area homer). I can't listen, it's constant good cop, bad cop radio. Papa just likes to hear himself talk. It's a quick stop while my other stations are on commercial, plus 95.7 is hit and miss in the North Bay. Horrible reception.

Radio is one thing that is a big downgrade moving from NYC, probably compared to just about anywhere else. 1

I actually check in from time to time on Papa's show even living in Buffalo. Love when he talks NFL. Glad the 49'ers signed him. Best play by play guy there is. 1

There were things that would "set him off", and like 2 of 3 calls were people either pushing his buttons and/or pranking. He would go nuts. It was probably all an act and intentional. It was highly entertaining and i would be glued anf calling every day as a kid
