We are lucky to have AFR. Matt tows the company line a little more than I would like, but he takes the job seriously, puts in the work, and has mostly good takes.

Did I imagine a guy named Bruce Hunter doing radio in Baton Rouge. Does anyone know why he left sports ? Did he die ?

They do the dame tired crap. "Hit all the demographics and get a jock" when the reality is good, informative entertainment is all the listeners want.

I like Freddie and Fitzsimmons

I always wondered how those early mornings shows functioned. The talking heads must be sleeping halfway through all the important games they are supposed to cover the next morning. I guess they just watch the highlights and check the box scores before they come in so they at least sound like they know what they're talking about. I tried working early mornings before. And I loathed it. I had to turn off all the games halfway through so I could get some shut eye.

Evan Cohen started here in West Palm Beach. If there's such a thing as a "punchable voice", then he is it. And doesn't know shite about sports.

Listen to 10 minutes of the show going into work and it’s horrible.
