Can't stand Gambo and his NY teams.

MJ needs a solid partner who can set the topic and keep it going. Vince was able to do that as was Bickley for the most part. Bickley's problem would be there were major football games and he wants to talk tennis or golf. CANNOT stand Bauer. He seems like the nerdy kid who tries to act cool and hang with the jocks. He is just juvenile and annoying. Jody is really, really amateurish and lame.
The rest of the talk scene in Phoenix is pretty pathetic. Burns, Gambo, Doug and Wolf are hacks and I can't stand listening to them at all. Burns, Gambo and Doug all think they are quite clever and funny and Wolf is just on another planet and is like listening to a poor man's Jesse "The Body" Ventura's old WWF schtick.

Bob is the kind of guy you either hate or love. I am of the latter. I like his atte til. To AZ sports. I also like the fact he does not take crap from the dumb callers.

I mostly avoid sports talk radio in Arizona because most seem like they are all commercials on the time. IMO, it seems like many broadcasters talk to hear themselves talk. However, I'm sure there are exceptions, especially when top local sports stories erupt or special interviews. Otherwise I leave them alone.
Not taking crap and being a coward when you are being called out or can't dispute a valid take is another.

Why has this not happened yet?
It's either the mafia, the CIA, the Russians, Castro, or LBJ.

I side with him most of the time, just my opinion. He knows AZ sports better than the others.

Love me some Burns & Gambo cause they're not the ridiculous homers Doug & Wolfe are. I think some listeners get sensitive over certain things but it's just radio. They talk plenty of local sports too, frankly I'd like to hear more of what happens outside of PHX teams.
For interviews I suggest B&G cause they're not insufferable suck ups.

You should be in my neck of the woods. We have 3 sports talk radio stations: 94FM WIP, 97.5FM The Fanatic, and 97.3 ESPN Radio which airs some local sports talk. All 3 it's all Eagles all the time. No BS all 3 stations combined when it comes to local sports is around 75%-80% Eagles. Doesn't matter when. In the middle of June, it's Eagles talk. Super Bowl Sunday, Eagles talk. It's amazingly lame. When I lived in Tucson, I can't remember the station, I listened to national sports talk radio who had on people like Jim Rome and The Fabulous Sports Babe(who was excellent I might add) not to mention that the Tucson Citizen considered the Cowboys as Tucson's team which was odd because they declared that right in the middle of the Cards' 1998 playoff run so yeah, AZ doesn't do that great a job at promoting it's teams.
It's honestly not their fault. It's all the transplants they dont care about the local teams and apparently, that's the vast majority of their listeners because that's who they cater to. That demographic.
I have actually, for real, I have heard people call into KTAR in the midst of Suns or Cards or Dbacks talk to COMPLAIN that they are talking about the local teams too much. They take the call on the air and apologize to the caller and start talking about the Cowboys/Yankees/Lakers instead. I've heard that happen many, many times on KTAR alone. They suck.
And 82 you couldn't be more right about Doug Franz. He's horrible. I hear people complain about Wolf all the time, and he is annoying too, but Doug Franz is the worst radio personality in the valley, bar none. Not even close.

One other thing that really sucks about these guys and their shows is that they completely eliminated listener "call in" opportunities. It's as if they know they suck and they know there are fans whom are more informed and they don't want to be called out and made to look like the fools they are... Pathetic!
