That list is pretty laughable. Mike & Mike are awful. DPs show shouldn't be that high, but it's tolerable. No Petros & Money, but they have Nick & Artie? SVP and Rusillo should be higher.

SVP and Bill King are the only national shows I listen to with any regularity. Though I did get a kick out of them calling Cowherd "thoughtful".

Mike & Mike should be not be ranked that high unless we are talking about Yankees and Jets radio shows.

If I had to rank my top 5 I would go:
1. SVP & Russillo - Easily the best. Have a great knowledge of sports and can also make it interesting. Both guys are pretty funny and don't take themselves too seriously.
2. Bill King - I am biased to college sports talk. Has a bunch of good interviews on the show with knowledgeable sports people.
3. Dan Patrick - Entertaining show, but a little too full of itself. It is pretty dumb that the Dannettes have to buzz in before speaking.
4. Paul Finebaum - Strictly for entertainment purposes. Callers are hilariously pathetic. Finebaum has one of the easiest jobs in the country.
5. Steve Czaban - Wish he was still on Fox sports Radio. The sarcastic approach can be amusing.

I don't get the love for Petros and Money. The whole show is a bunch of inside jokes. Petros' voice and random yelling make it impossible for me to listen to.

I have a feeling Dino Costa will break down these rankings for 2 hours on his show tonight if he hasn't already. He will complain about them endlessly, and then will then proceed to say that he easily has the best sports talk radio show on the air, while never talking sports the entire time.

He must love hearing about the Jets, Notre Dame and the Yankees all the time.

I don't think Gottlieb even has a show anymore.

Meh. Late Hits is the best thing on the NFL channel.

I'll take Chuck and Chernoff over any radio show...I know they're not national but they're damn entertaining and relevant to all my teams

Nah. They're better than just about everyone else out there. The 3rd hour of their show isn't really sports talk, but their show is more entertaining than a lot of the shite on the radio.

Czaban is also good.

Brando and DP are barely tolerable. Mike and Mike make my ears bleed.

The worst is driving home from work in the afternoon when my choices are Kaare Johnson (alternates from tolerable to mind bottling, yes bottling), Deke&Bobby (neither of which should be anywhere near a mic), the Loose Cannons (Pat OBrien is terrible), and Tom Fitzmorris (tough to listen to, but usually better than the alternative)
