re: I'm a masochist: Listening to WWL today

Amite Louisiana. I'm from there and I know deke. It's a lot of Italians that have been in out the country too long. Also only about 20 minutes from mississippi

Does everyone speak like Dusty Rhodes there?

Hap was beyond terrible. He followed the horses and boxing, other sports not so much, and his sports show was filled with birthday greetings to people turning 100 and something for the ladies.

That was Glaudi on TV, not when they pushed him down to radio.

Even though Mascona focuses more on the Tigers, he's still better in 30 minutes of Saints talk than those two for 4 hours

He's more of a modern format sports talk guy. Doesn't have to be constantly interrupted by news/weather/traffic because he works for a sports talk station. The show often has a theme or main take that the audience can focus on even when he has something irrelevant in a particular segment. There is sponsored content, but he fits it into the format of the show.

Bobby and WWL are just all over the place because their format means that they have to be everything to everyone, and I don't like it, especially during drivetime. That used to drive me crazy about Buddy too. Buddy'd do 30 minutes straight about the Saints game, and then he'd come back with one of his friends to talk about horse racing, or he'd have some sleazy 1-800 bookmaker talking for 10 minutes about why the Jets will cover in their game against the Chiefs and I'd have to change the channel. Moscona has some of that, but it's not so obnoxious.

WWL should go hire Matt Mascona, team him with TBob and have Mike D on as they do now. Bobby and Deke are garbage. However, considering this is a network that allowed scum bag Garland Robinette to stay on his job after his landfill scandal and and gave Scoot a show, I wouldn't expect more.

When I was working on the north shore, I listened to WWL a lot. They average something like 26 mins of content for every broadcast hour. That's no joke. I can't tell you how many times they'd bring on big guests right before a break. "Hi we'd like to welcome in Dee Smith, President of the NFLPA. How are ya Dee?" "Great Deke, thanks for having me." "So how are negotiations with the league going." "Okay thus far, we're working through issues." "Thanks Dee, but we've got to go to break."

i understand why he is, but it is 2016. That's outdated radio

it is, especially when you are taking callers from the low IQ people that actually tune in to listen to those hacks

Its lazy. Instead of prepping and having good content and interesting guests, they take callers to fill the hour. Its quick and easy. They just react to whatever the caller is saying.

That being said, once and awhile I do put on Bobby and Deke because it can be entertaining in a trainwreck sort of way, and its one of the only games in town.

The rest of the time I listen to podcasts.
