This is about the extent to which I'm familiar with LeBatard



never listened to his radio show though. I don't associate him with college football, which is my #1 thing.

Put him in a time slot where I don't listen. Can't stand that show.




I'm pretty indifferent with LeBatard, but I'm always interested in the opinions of the guys who hate LeBatard, Mike/Mike, Cowherd, etc.

Do you care to say what sports radio shows you do like?

Does LeBatard use Papi or Jones on radio?

I like him and find him informative at times, but at others he is cranky and just stubborn to a fault.

Also, when I think of qualities I want in my sports radio guy, being eloquent would never show up on a list, that seems odd.



what? so you would rather listen to someone that can't form a coherent sentence?

That's certainly an upgrade. Not that that says much. Cowherd is tWOAT

I mostly listen on Sirius/XM

I don't mind Mike and Mike depending on what they are talking about and how long they have been going on about it.

I can't remember the name of the show, but it is an NFL only show in the morning drive time. I like that one.

I guess, to answer your question, there are not many of the
"personalities" I care much about at all. Depends on the guest, topic, etc.

But I can't list to DL for more than about 5 minutes.

Thanks for asking.

What does Adnan have to do to get a damn gig?


He's doesnt equal ratings in that time slot or the one Russilo took over, I imagine. Not enough edge and controversy. Adnan seems like a company yes man a la Mike and Mike.

Well if we're going to get into the details, on what planet is Cowherd better at speaking and writing than LeBatard? LeBatard is about as good as it gets in that regard in the sports world.

But to your point, there's quite a few exit ramps between eloquent and not able to form coherent sentences, so I'm not even sure what you're talking about or where your point even comes from.

And no, I don't need the guy talking about sports to feel like he always has to use big words and talk about super important topics with this great command of the language. It's cool to just talk like you do when you're at a sports bar drinking your buddies.

Jones used to be on for an entire show once per week, but he isn't any longer since he got his own show.

His dad is mostly only used for imaging.

No I listen to the show a lot. I enjoy it in spurts but it's not a show the garners any credibility. Lebetard is funny and interviews are usually so bad it's great

Lebatard is terrible. Too much Miami Heat and NBA talk along with pathetic attempts at humor. I'd rather have Cowherd.



Agreed...... I happen to see LeBatard a few weeks ago filling in for Mike and Mike.. I thought..Ok this may be better.......... WRONG... He is horrible......

I think Adnan is much more TV-focuses. Doesn't seem like he's got the time to do a radio show every day. But I honestly think Adnan is the best radio talent on ESPN's roster next to SVP, who as we know is also no longer doing radio. 


Th is was alluded to on Russillo when they were discussing Kannel being the new co-host he said he wanted it to be clear Adnan was never considered because the TV guys would have never allowed it with his other obligations

Lebatard sucks and Cohered had his moments, but I don't really like any of them. I miss highlights. ??

You want a 3-4 hour radio show that's highlight driven?
