I think sports talk radio is dull and worthless.
I tried listening to an episode of the Jim Rome show when I had to take a short road trip a while
back. It was on the only station I could pick up as I was traveling thru the Columbia River Gorge.
All these marks and squares calling in reading "takes" from prepared notes, cue cards, Etc, so they would not
forget a point or forget to say something that was on their minds, sounded so robotic, contrived, staged and
just plain mind numbing. There is no natural flow to that. It's like being with an author doing a book reading at
Powells Books or Barnes and Nobles.
The one bright spot to the show is when they did the comedy bits with the fake faxes and e-mails that the listeners
send in. A lot of those were really funny and made up for the different callers that call in and read from a piece of paper
in front of them.
