Hunt makes Moscona look like garbage as well - the share intonation - in the draw of his r's simply amaze me how he got this big on radio.

Based on how much Ott claims to gamble, he must earn a healthy living or sell drugs.
I always heard that Ott’s show was a front for his bookie operation.

In the 1980’s at a LSU intramural basketball playoff game, the LSU broadcast journalism dept called some of the games. I played with some of my Redemptorist boys on the Go-Nads and we were playing The Squad. Before the game, I see these announcers setting up a table courtside and Ott is setting up his microphone using a white canvas Chuck Taylor as the mic stand. It was classic. They filmed and announced the game and at one time I had a VHS of it.
The Squad were damn good and it was tied at half but in the second half, we scored 60 points in a 20 minute running time half. Prolly a record lol, and Jimmy had some announcing gems. Wish I still had the tape.

but I just wish they weren't so slanted towards betting for the entirety of their program.
Agree! I am so tired of hearing about the line and the parlays and Jimmy big timing it in Vegas, Monaco, or whereever when you know that most of the time the sponsors are paying for him to stay and eat. I isn't good enough, IMHO, to be playing big dog if he had to do it all on his money.
But regardless, shame they don't interview people that know the sport for sake of reporting on it instead of those that are selling their picks.
Back in my stupid days I gambled. Buddy and I began to suspect some nefarious activity from the tout service we were using in Vegas. We did an experiment by calling the same oddsmaker on the same day about the same games. He regularly gave one side to me and the other side to buddy. Not on every call but he was hedging so that (we figured) half of his picks had some winners so he could call them back next week(as he always did when I won) to so "I told you about".

Jacob Hester sounds like a robot on the air. Very boring

Hunt,
I don't know you, but you seem like a good person. You obviously prepare for your show and give the listeners great content. Keep up the good work.
You can't please everyone. Just ignore the a-holes.
