Podcasts are fantastic for catching up on sports while working out or handling domestic poo poo. I've grown to love Le Batard's show and have a hard time listening to regular sports radio as a result. The misery they inflicted on Mike & Mike fans last week was well deserved. Having a harder time warming up to Bomani's current show, especially by contrast to The Evening Jones, but it's still worth the time. I burned out pretty hard on Kornheiser's show. He's had to tone down the vitriol that made him funny ever since he compared Hannah Storm to a sausage. Also, you can only listen for so long to the stories about the Redskins being run by utter shitheels without actually being a Redskins fan. Sort-of radio, but I'm hoping Woody Paige's 500th win on Around the Horn means that they'll Old Yeller him soon. I hate his schtick, his volume, his contempt for Bomani, and that he continually rides for Tebow. swickles posted:To get things started, I heard Sarah Spain guest co-hosting on Lebatard yesterday and she was pretty cool. Hadn't heard her before and she fit in with the style really well. I agree, and really hope she takes off. She was definitely enjoyable, and it'd be nice to have someone from the Midwest cover sports who wasn't over-the-top blue collar proletariat.

Just now catching up with Bomani. Really like Shannon as someone for him to bounce off of. I'm still amazed that whoever edits the podcasts 1) leaves minutes of silence in the middle, and 2) still thinks buttrock guitar riffs and bells fit with the tone of the show.

Winkie01 posted:Lebatard is already better than anything cowherd has done in this time slot. Is highly questionable done? Cos I am going to be pissed that was the best show espn has. Think they're back today. Also, sometime in October, they're going to have someone fill in for Papi. The only thing that seems certain to kill this show any time in the near future is either a lack of Papi or lack of suitable alternative.

Cote's starting to figure out the hard network out.  Trast posted:I've always looked at them as the Daily Show for sports. They are mostly taking a piss but they come up with quality points a lot. I'd agree with that, and add that they do a good job treating serious problems (CTE, sexual assault, mental/emotional trauma) seriously and not-serious things (sports). It's amazing when you listen to something like Mike & Mike and see all of the above completely reversed.

I think I'm kinda sorta becoming a Dolphins and Heat fan. At least, I think now I can name more Dolphins than Lions players. It's a little early in life to be feeling like a snowbird.

indigi posted:I just found out that Giants OL Geoff Schwartz has a podcast specifically about offensive line play, which sounds like it could be pretty interesting. Just subscribed, has anyone given it a listen yet? Either way, I'll report back with a review. I'm listening to BEM #2 right now. So far, I'm finding it a little dry, and I don't think they really have enough content for 45 min. There's a lot of stuff in there (like their discussions of concussions or Chip Kelly) that you've already heard or read elsewhere. You don't really get to interesting technical OL discussions 'til about 30 min in. Even then, it's a chore to listen to because their voices are so low and they break into jargon occasionally. tl;dr - There's promise and good content, but this isn't an enjoyable listen just yet.

My house is a mess because I tend to handle chores when I have something to listen to. I like Jorge and Izzy as people, but their show stinks. e: Also, gently caress their producer for trying to defend Cardinals fans and pretending the citizens of @bestfansstlouis just don't exist.

Happy to have the local hour back. I've been listening to some previous TrueHoop podcasts to fill the void. They're pretty good if you 1) like basketball at least somewhat, 2) like Amin Elhassan, and 3) you avoid the ones with Brian Windhurst pretending to be just one of the guys.

swickles posted:Two things: you had to hear it live because it probably wont be in the podcast, but the local hour opened with a dance party (its on periscope and twitter ). That's good to hear because the Kaepernick talk (or, more accurately, the response to it) over the past couple of days has been a bummer.

For anyone who missed LeBatard's podcast, Dan 1) trashed Stugotz in a distinctly more personal way than normal, 2) talked about quitting or going on hiatus, 3) claimed to be bored and to have outgrown the show, 4) casually joked about killing himself, and 5) had the rest of the supporting cast genuinely freaking out. That's most of the local and first hour. The remainder is this weird, cold truce and a much more sports-heavy focus than normal. This might be the end.

It's also possible he and Pablo Torre get a studio show together. That show seems like the likely replacement for HQ once Dan gets himself fired and/or Papi dies.

ketchup vs catsup posted:I still hold out hope that ESPN will take First Take from Stephen A and give Bomani the seat. The only part of the format I'd want from First Take is having two people talk to each other rather than trying to talk through the fourth wall. Like, I get way more enjoyment out of the podcasts with Bo/Dan and Desus/Mero joking with one another than I get from their respective TV shows. Outside of that, though, First Take and everything it stands for can get hosed.

That photochop where someone put Crying Jordan's eyes and lips on Coach is haunting. Also pretty sure Coachman has had his face pressed up inside at least two obese, bare asses on live TV. If I'm him, I would never, ever talk poo poo.

If it hasn't been mentioned already, if you like LeBatard and you like basketball, it's worth checking out the TrueHoop podcasts. Tues and Thurs podcasts are basketball content heavy, Monday and Friday is more friends loving around/pop culture, and Wednesday is a little bit of both. They even manage to make Brian Windhorst slightly less haughty and prickish.

Weebly posted:I heard RBI baseball music the other day and had a fond feeling about the games like "I gotta tell ya" "I got news for ya" and 'its embarrassing to say this but". Does anyone else have weird bits they ran into the ground that you still love. Kentucky fraud chickens were another but they were just used a few days ago. Papi reading excerpts from Fifty Shades of Grey made me laugh so hard I cried. Also, "JR Smith wants to know if you're tryna get the pipe." Basically, Papi reading anything out loud will kill me. e: Gotz did Hot Take Diva on Sportscenter this morning: https://twitter.com/DonnyDiCaprio/status/819180867805466624 Anals of History fucked around with this message at 18:46 on Jan 12, 2017 |

Tim MacMahon is a gem and I wish he'd pop up on more podcasts than just Tuesdays on TrueHoop. Also, Brian Windhorst is the biggest bitch under God's hot sun and I wish he'd get banished to NBA.tv or something.

swickles posted:I also like how they bring in others to get him randomly, like Allison got him this week for what I think is the first time. I loved that so much. It's not enough to have Dan or Stu dunk on Cote anymore. Now they're setting up alley-oops. The only cutoff more vicious than getting Cote to start a Back in my Day two seconds before the show ended was getting him in the middle of a somber thought about Jose Fernandez the day after he died. That one made me gasp out loud.
