Sorry, this is going to be a rant. Fair warning....
I have always had a pretty stringent policy of avoiding national sports talk radio shows. They typically are unlikable windbags that thrive on abrasive opinions. That being said, my job requires me to be behind the wheel for a good portion of my day and after the Kentucky block on 1080 goes off at noon, I'm stuck trying to decide what to listen to while I'm driving. I've given up on music because everything I like Ive heard a million times and I dont want to listen to the rest and I cant stand political shows or NPR so I decided to give The Herd a try since it is a 3 hour long show starting at noon.
After listening to his show for about 4 months now, I've come to the conclusion that his show is un-listenable. The man talks about the same subject day in and day out....for three hours!!! Before the Super Bowl he talked incessantly about Mahomes, Baker Mayfield, Tom Brady, and Jimmy Garropolo.I swear I heard him use the phrase "He throws a beautiful ball...tight spiral" a thousand times.
Then the Super Bowl happened and once he was off the Andy Reid finally won his super bowl high, he's been on the Lebron Vs. Giannis train (who's the real MVP) for the last month!! Its the same argument over....and over....and over...and over... He even had Doug Gottleib cover for him the last two days....same BS. I cant understand how a nationally syndicated radio show can spend the entirety of its three hours predominantly on one subject each and every day and not be yanked off the air.
Anyone else feel this way about that show, and does he EVER talk about college sports? I vaguely remember him talking about the college football national championship game, but it was mainly just a segway into whether or not he'd draft Joe Burrows with the first pick.
