Freddie and Fitzsimmons at 5am is great. Hopefully it sticks for a while. Two guys who talk sports and life. Way better than anything they’ve had since Mike & Mike died.

Haven't listened to it, but I'm always skeptical when they put NFL guys as the main hosts that they will only know NFL and neglect the other sports.

Anyone can talk about the NFL, so I'd rather have at least one guy that favorite sport is college football or MLB, especially during NFL off season.

They used to be at night & I enjoyed listening to them. I missed that since all of the ESPN cuts & shuffling. Freddie Coleman seems to always be in a jovial mood and Fitzmorris works well with him.

Doubt I'll tune in to listen, but Freddie has been underrated for a long time. He's been doing his thing on the night shift for a while before this.

Damn ! I listened to Freddie and Fitzsimmons on my way home from work every night. Guess I will miss their show now.

Talk about a bad show for the last 10 years of its existence. That being said, I pretty much dislike everything that Mike Greenberg is associated with

Hard to beat Two Pros and a Cup of Joe, which is also on at 5am.

I love that show, they're very underrated. Unfortunately I don't do any driving at 5 AM so I'm sad to see them moved from the night spot where I got to listen to them a lot

Did a quick Google search. Sounds like this was a week thing.

Freddie Coleman is moving to afternoons permanently.

quote:

The afternoon drive, from 3-7 p.m., will now feature a tandem of Harry Douglas and Freddie Coleman. Douglas, the former NFL receiver for the Falcons and Titans, had previously been hosting with Jason Fitz in middays.

quote:

Later, Amber Wilson, the popular host who came up through Miami radio, and Ian FitzSimmons, who had been Coleman’s cohost since 2016, will host from 7-10 p.m.

Tell Freddie!
It's been a while since I listened to them, but I remember it was a solid show.

Can't stand Ian Fitzsimmons. He used to be in the Fan in Columbus OH. He sounds too much like Herbstreit. His cadence is annoying. Used to listen to him every day 20 plus years ago. Although, all American sports radio show hosts annoy me. I only listen to Talksport now. The world's biggest sports radio station. Cundy and O'Hara Sports Bar at 5pm ET is hilarious
