There are 2 in the higher 30s. One where Scott talks about calling into a radio show. I was laughing so hard when he told it


The other has russillo talking about his car in college. A other great one. Oh russillo has one where he talks about his last class to graduate. They are crazy funny.

All 3 of those are in the 30s rate I believe

Good lord must this be a daily thread? People's hatred for ESPN is so dumb. Without them we wouldn't have Fox, Root, etc.

Freddie Coleman is one of the worst, most akward, uninformed sports radio guys on the air. Can't listen to him. Just shows how peoples opinions are different.

like Bayless, he knows his shite and is pretty smart, but like Bayless, he just makes a lot of troll statements to get attention

Hill is absolutely terrible. The dude offers nothing at all besides generic, poorly formulated opinions and hosting.

Steve Czaban and his sidekick were a lot like SVP and Rusillo before fox booted them for Stephen A. They wouldn't take things too seriously, had a lot of sarcastic jokes, and discussed gambling often.

Kielly and Booms was the best show out there with Kornheiaer and Bruno's being two/three depending on the day.

Patrick was a decent show when Salisbury was with him. I'm not big on Patrick though now.

SVP is a good show but I don't think it's a must listen as Keilly and Booms was.

My only problem with the show is that Russillo comes off as a smug douche know it all a lot, especially compared to SVP who has enough self-awareness to know that his opinions are not the end all, be all. He also tows the company line a lot by saying whatever it is the head honchos want him to say.

I want to see how they would do if they could truly have their own show away from ESPN echo chamber. Mike and Mike and Cowherd are nothing but ESPN echo chambers. Nothing insightful at all on either of those shows.

Hill and Schlereth are pretty good, but they get stuck repeating the same shite that's been on all day and again I feel they get pulled back into the ESPN echo chamber too much. Easily the second best show from ESPN radio though.

ehh. seems like a douche to me....always bitching about his co-hosts on-air when they mess up or try to take the spotlight from him.

Not a fan. As was said earlier in the thread, all of the hosts after SVP/Russillo suck.

SVP is money....not on Espn, but the Dan Patrick show is real good also. I enjoy the interviews. Most interviews suck because you know what the answer will be, but DP asks off the wall stuff.....svp and dp both are successful because it is just guys hanging out talking sports....other shows have an agenda or line they follow.

Czabe is the best on the business. He is still on yahoo sports radio if you get it locally, or 208 on xm.

Svp is second though

Cowherd = DRIVEMAN APPROVED. The two above are like the anti-cowherd, recycling tired, ESPN formulated opinions. Hot AIR no substance. The driveman like how Herd thinks outside the fox and is relevant. 3 hour show by yourself is no joke

Patrick show is like a G6. Classy but professional but informative and cool as frick

SVP/russilo - think Russilo has started playing the douche up alittle but the driveman would still bro it up anyday. SVP is good as what he is, BUT doesn't seem like he would be the awkward creepy tall dude that would wouldn't WANT in your drivecrew

Cowherd is the ultimate company man. You might as well call him Mr. Talking Points, because that's all he is. He literally just spits out whatever the head honchos want him to say. The only time he deviates from the script is to troll.

Everyone clowns The Herd but I guarantee his ratings are better than any ESPN radio show.

The average fan (Msb posters are mot average fans) loves him because of how he relates sports to real life examples.

Hate him or not, he's entertaining and good at what he does. He can be long winded at times and will contradict his opinion from day-to-day, but you don't think he knows this?

He's knowledgeable and entertaining. I put his show right up there with SVP & Russillo.
