My opinions on 97.1 (and other sports radio stuff):
1. The morning with Golic and Wingo (and whoever else is on there) is not good. It's going the way of all things ESPN, which is manufactured drama. 3/10
2. Lebatard is the worst. Never talked about anything sports related. Never really talked about anything. Seemed like that show was just designed to have the hosts listen to their own voices. 1/10
3. Bishop and Laurenitis are fine. No complaints. Generally entertaining and worthwhile to listen to. 8/10
4. Rothman and Carpenter are fine, too. See #3. 8/10
5. Common Man and T-Bone. Hit or miss for me. Sometimes, I think they are funny, like when they played the "Well, I don't like Facebook, and I don't like the Internet" clip of crazy woman at town hall meeting. Sometimes, I think they are nauseating, like when they open the show with, "Hey, Man...Hey, Bone." I also find myself disagreeing with about 50 percent of the stuff they say. Of course, I keep tuning in, so they are doing something right. 5/10
6. Tim Hall is the absolute worst of all time. Not sure where to start with him. Rambles, doesn't say anything of value, veers off when he shouldn't, doesn't quite get the gist of most points/topics, and seems annoying. I am convinced I could do a better job, or at least be just as bad. 1/10 with anything involving him.
7. I actually like Cowherd. I find myself agreeing with most of what he says. I even like him when he says things I don't enjoy, like back in the mid-2000s when he was bashing Ohio State for being slow and outmatched by SEC teams. (He was right.) 7/10
