He's back on radio, eh? Didn't take long for him to miss it, did it? Is he just on local radio, or is he being syndicated?
Yeah, I listen to lots of sports radio here and there. I usually DVR Mike and Mike on ESPN2 and watch some of it if I don't listen in the car. That way I can FF through all the commercials and just hit the topics that are interesting or punt it all together if I'm bored (helloooooo, Brett Favre retrospective!!). The rest of the day, I'm not dedicated to any particular show if I'm out, I'll just flip between ESPN, Fox and Sporting News radio and listen to whichever one is A) Not on commercial, B)has a decent topic, C) isn't Stephen A Smith.
I do like Tony Kornheiser's show and often d/l the podcast of it. Like Mike And Mike, I can skip stuff I don't care about and can throw it on the Pod to listen to later. I enjoy when he goes off sports stuff sometimes and just starts rambling about silly real life stuff.
The odd local station that I can receive from Baltimore, DC, Philly, etc., I can't get 'em very long and they can be very static-y. Much easier to just listen to the XM broadcasts of ESPN, Fox and TSN (and the Baseball Today channel). Plus, in most local markets, I don't want to listen to hours of local chatter. When I lived in Atlanta, I didn't want to hear the "SEC rules!!," and "No, way! ACC is best!" crap back and forth between local fans, endless chat about Georgia, etc. When I worked in Michigan, listening to them try to figure out the Wolverines every day bored me to tears. Man - I can't even listen to the local talk in Knoxville about Tennessee, and I went there and have a local interest in the team...but I can only listen to "Ya'all know how good that kid is from Chattanooga Prep that might be our center in 3 years?" in a Southern drawl for so long.
So I like the more national coverage talking about various teams and sports.

I listen to the local Boston Sports Guys on WEEI almost daily. I like the Dale and Holly Show, and while I know some don't like the Big Show with Glen Ordway, I think its pretty funny, and informative. One of the highlights of the day, and I don't know if any other shows out there have this, is The Big Show's Whiner Line. Pretty much all through the show, people call into an answering machine with little skits and comments and jokes about the show, the announcers, or the sports stories of the day, and the results can freaking hilarious, especially when its joke that only the most diehard Boston sports fan would understand.
Then in the evening is the Planet Mikey Show, which I also enjoy immensely.

Occassionally I'll listen to Philadelphia Sports Radio (610 WIP) and, even less often, WFAN New York, but I'd have to be really bored to listen to ESPN radio.
I listen to the local guys in San Francisco (KNBR) mostly but I also listen to the night shows on Fox Sports Radio. The only show I like on ESPN is All Night with Jason Smith, and if he isn't hosting, than I won't listen to it. The two most annoying personalities on that network are Freddie Colman and Amy Lawrence.
I still like to listen to Jim Rome, even though the show detours away from sports more than I would like. We also have Scott Hastings and Alfred Williams right after Rome on 950 KKFN. They're very good when talking local sports, but kind of suck when talking about the National sports scene.
Ugh, Jim Rome is so freaking full of himself.
Also, most of his show is him repeating the same things over and over, and reading emails that he chides and says how bad they are and to not send them in. Jim, if they're that bad then don't read them.
Good interviews though.

You know, I I'de like Patrick more if he would stop trying to be a stand-up comic. Dude is NOT funny.
Anyway, I listen to a show here in So Cal that broadcsts out of DC called the "First team" early (well here anyway) in the morning. Host is a guy named Steve Zaban. Very entertaining "guy show". Not the contrived sit-com stuff, just sports and high def T.V.'s and the like.
They do kind of get me sometimes with their fixation on MLB and their disdain for the NBA, but bring me right back with their worship at the NFL shrine.
Jim Rome is a whiney politically correct bitch. I just love his boring interviews followed by a few segments of him reading e-mails from syncophants congratulating him on it.
