As a huge Ticket fan, even I can't stand Gordon Keith, but that's another story.
I hear where you're coming from, I just disagree. Galloway can recap for the new listeners, but in my case, it drives an old listener away. I want sports talk, I crave sports talk...but sometimes there's just nothing of value to talk about.
And that's when the Ticket is a lifesaver, because they'll talk about the few relevant sports stories and atleas be entertaining the rest of the time.
You actually sound similar to me. I love Norm, love his show...hate when he tries humor, I want him to talk Sports. I like BaD Radio because their humor is funny, but also because Bob Sturm is an extremely good sports guy.
The Hardline is good for baseball season, and their NFL talk generally isn't bad at all, it's their Cowboys talk that annoys me.
The morning show, ugh....it's a beating of the highest order. Gordon ruins any decent sports segment with his unfunny humor, and 3/4 of the show are his stupid bits.
