May 5, 200422 yr I only heard him for a few minutes but what I heard was something along the lines of this: "Mark my words! They build these people a stadium and this team will not win another championship for about 20 years" Not that I really care what Fat Boy thinks, but it just ticks me off to the highest that he's getting proved wrong with all of his sources and he keeps blasting this team because they are finally getting a stadium. :thumbdown And that is why ladies and gentlemen that I don't listen to him anymore. :censored
May 5, 200422 yr He also lost credibility with me when he stated that the City of Miami is requiring the Marlins to pay for any cost overruns in this agreement. He said that could be a deal breaker because the Marlins would never agree to such a thing. But if FAT Hank had been reading the papers he would have read of the countless quotes from Samson saying that the Marlins are willing to pay for any cost overruns. Samson has been saying this since Day ONE!!!! He also keeps on saying how is the City going to pay for it since it has no money. Hello Hank, its coming from the Miami Arena sale if it happens. Then he goes on to say how schools will be screwed. Are schools being any less screwed now that the state did not pass the rebate, Hank??? Geez! Every team gets a rebate. The Marlins should get it as well for their new ballpark.
May 6, 200422 yr Author Someone forgot to tell him that the Schools are already getting shafted even without the Marlins stadium. He should just stick to horse racing and get off the Stadium issue already.
May 6, 200422 yr Him and his partner are trying everything to stop the deal. Seeing the city votes on it tommorrow May 6th. So it was expected they bring it up today at all cost. Tommorrow won't be any different, with so much going on in sports with the Heat and the NBA playoff that they bring up a topic that isn't a topic at all. I heard from someone that they bring up the topic and no one would call about it. It wouldn't be a shock to me if they planted a call or two to get a negative spin on this. I hear he was calling people "stupid" because they let this take place...he's reaching :lol Another thing why does this guy get so caught up with the price of the stadium? It can't be 325 million, they can't built it for that amount, SO WHAT! THEY ARE PAYING FOR ANY OVERRUN so please can someone tell why this is a topic?
May 6, 200422 yr Author Because he's hellbent on proving that its all a conspiracy by the Marlins to trick the city into giving them a stadium. Remember how his "sources" told him that the Marlins were trying to not get the stadium so that they wouldn't have to pay back MLB for the loan? And how he kept saying "They aren't getting a stadium", "There IS no stadium deal" and so on and so on? He's just plain pathetic. :plain
May 6, 200422 yr fat hank is just jealous the dolphins have lost some of the steam they had before. last time i read the dolphins haven't won a title in 30 years and haven't even been to the SB in 20 years. He is a loser with a football oriented agenda. what is the number to call in during the show? i'm calling him tomorrow and letting him have it! all of us should call so he would have to cut all of us off.
May 6, 200422 yr Author Same number as it is for every QAM show: 305-567-0560 Problem is that he think he's alway right and he'll cut you off if you start to make a sound argument. :thumbdown
May 6, 200422 yr Why do guys even waste your time listening to Hank and his mini-me (Mike Berardino). By calling his show you are validating his point that he can be a bumbling idiot on the air because he gets listeners and callers. If enough people stop listening to this idiot maybe we can actually get rid of him. I went out and purchase a Satellite Radio this way I can actually listen to sports talk on the radio.
May 6, 200422 yr Author I'll be perfectly honest with you. I've stopped listening to Hank's show all together and turn the station to listen to 940 Fox Sports at that time. Problem is that my radio was tuned to 560 at that exact moment when he was talking his BS. That was the only reason why I heard it. :thumbdown
May 6, 200422 yr "Mark my words! They build these people a stadium and this team will not win another championship for about 20 years" yeah I caught that too & could barely believe my ears. It's one thing to disagree with ownership. But when it's gone this far, Fat Hank has clearly gone off the deep end. I've pretty much switched to 940 for the most part too.
May 6, 200422 yr Author Stu Gotz and Toast are atleast much more objective IMO and to me its more more entertaining radio. I just still can't get over that he has the co-jones to come on and say something like that!!
May 6, 200422 yr haha, I was listening to him the other day and someone called in to talk about an error that was in one of the newspapers and Hank said, the only sports writers with any credability in this town are Ira (the heat guy) and Berardino. damn i just had to laugh. has anyone ever called his show to question Berardino? just curious, I know Hank would probably have a heart attack, start shouting and hang up the phone, but someone needs to do it. If one of the many writers Hank hates was behaving like Berardino, we'd never hear the end of it.

May 6, 200422 yr Author With all the shouting and rampages he does, I'm surprised that he hasn't had a heart attack yet? :lol

May 6, 200422 yr Write Hank a letter and itemize your complaints about his behavior. Be specific. And (this is very important) copy his advertisers. You can start with Dry Concepts and Infiniti. Hit him where he lives - right in the wallet.
May 6, 200422 yr With all the shouting and rampages he does, I'm surprised that he hasn't had a heart attack yet? :lol for real, he gets way too emotional over the dumbest things, it's really the most entertaining part of his show, you can hear it start to build up in his voice when a caller even slightly starts to have an opinion different then his, then you know it's comming, the shouting, the insults, etc. and it's funny whenever he gets a prank call too, it's the complete opposite, he gets all quiet and shaken up and says the same thing every time "can we get his number? give me his number? we've got your phone number now" man i wish i could hear what those people say to him (they always dump it) because it really seems to shake him up and he has to go to break afterwards. haha

I wouldn't say he "took Mike to task" on them, but he did at least question him & allow callers on who were arguing with Berardino about it. he'd never admit to one of his OWN mistakes, however. like the fact that he basically laughed his fatass off at Samson's 91-win prediction, then when it actually happened he just sort of made a joke of it.
May 6, 200422 yr I don't understand, what does he have against this team? His arguments obviously do not work so he is just trying to get in people's minds that the marlins are some sort of evil. Saying the marlins won't win a championship in 20 years is a reeeaaalll bold statement. Look at Cubs and Red Sox. A lot of teams haven't won the Series in 20 years. Its not an easy thing to do. Does he realize the phins havent won in 30?
May 6, 200422 yr supposely the MArlins found a Wall Street Lender willing to finance the Marlins piece of the $$$$ :thumbup
May 6, 200422 yr supposely the MArlins found a Wall Street Lender willing to finance the Marlins piece of the $$$$ :thumbup When will we find out more about this?
May 6, 200422 yr Now it seems Hank supports this deal as planned. He thinks this deal as structured is very optimistic. But if the Marlins can build this ballpark with the way this deal is structured now, he says he will support it. I guess he did not understand the deal yesterday when he ranted and raved.
May 11, 200422 yr I HATE HANK "I'M A JACK A $$" GOLDBERG, JUST RIGHT NOW ALL HE CAN DO IS BASH THE MARLINS, BASH SAMSON, BASH THE COUNTY AND CITY...HE HAS NO SUBSTANCE IN HIS ARGUMENT ABOUT THE STADIUM...SCREW HUIPINGA AND SCREW GOLDBERG

He's the only reason to listen to QAM for sports talk. Otherwise, I listen to Stu Gotz and Toast, and Jorge Sedano on 940.
