March 4, 200521 yr i think this is finally the one that will survive the competition against 560. OJ's doing a pretty good job on his show. and Boog is the best sports talk host in town, he needs to lose that "i'm hot" or "it's hot" catch phrase though, because it's stupid. Defo... sorry i just can't stand listening to that guy. it's a good thing i'm already home most of the time way before he comes on.

OJ is doing a great job--you can just feel his confidence growing the longer he's on the air. It's like watching a child grow up. I like how they put Eisenberg with OJ instead of Toast...OJ and Toast would always laugh at every single thing, and Eisenberg will help OJ develop more than Toast... Anyway, LeBatard (and Stugotz) are the only consistent piece for 790 so far. They do a great job, mainly because of Dan's willingness to ask the personal and deep questions :lol It looks good to me, but I still find myself flipping back and forth (mainly because when 790 breaks, 560 is still on)
March 4, 200521 yr 790 has been great. I love the station so far. I dont agree with you two that OJ is doing a good job. Him and Eisenberg are horrible. Its hard to listen to. But Joe Rose, Boog and LeBatard have been great. LeBatard is good because he has no probelm making himself look like a bumbling fool.

OJ is nice to listen to because he has a style apart from the other hosts here. and he's actually funny. the thing that's putting 790 ahead of 560 (for me anyways) is their hosts are under 60 years old.
March 4, 200521 yr Hank vs BucketHead... push OJ vs Neil ... neither, haha Boog vs Howard David... Boog, in a landslide LeBatard vs Mandich... Mandich Defo vs ? ... I love DeFo Eddie K vs JT ... Eddie K, the man 790: Buckethead, Boog and DeFo are quality 560: Hammer, Mandich and Eddie K are good Conclusion: They each have their good points.

All he does is spit out crap and he is just a bitter a$$hole.
March 4, 200521 yr Hammer's entertaining as hell. The way he yells at his callers, and calls them a-holes, etc. Too funny. If it weren't for his Marlins-hating, it'd be a run away for Hank.
March 4, 200521 yr Author i got to admit fat hank's show is entertaining, even though i really don't like him and disagree with him most of the time, it's funny when he has one of his fits. Defo on the other hand, i don't know how anyone can listen to his sit down comedy monologue and enjoy it. it's so unfunny. does he even take calls? i remember him and Mandich used to do a show, he wasn't as bad back then. and Mandich is losing something, i like him, but lately it seems like he has nothing to say, he just asks his prodecer what HE thinks.
March 4, 200521 yr All in all, I'll take 790. I hate Hank. There's no discussion of anything on his show. If you disagree with him he yells at you and than eats stuff. Also, I gotta say Hank gets the worst callers of anyone. OJ isn't bad. I don't listen a ton, but he's certainly better than Neil Rogers. Boog and LeBatard are my two favorite shows going these days. Boog is a natural. And LeBatard's show is waaaaay better than his column. Its refreshing because he treats sports like the 3 ring circus that it is. He was a little stronger when football was around, but whatever. Mandich is my third fave, and I'll switch to him during 790's commercials. I don't know what the hell goes on either station until Eddie K, who's okay.

Mad Dog never had anything to say, his show is dictated by whats going on, and other peoples opinion, but i still love his show. DeFo is great, his degenerate attitude is great. Kaplan is the godfather of radio in South Florida he is awesome.
March 4, 200521 yr Author 560 gets negative points for having Jorge Rodriguez on their airwaves. thank God OJ is on now so i'm not forced to listen to Jorge talk about 80's japanese synth pop bands, skating rinks in north carolina and swing clubs for people in their 40's. it was the worst part of the radio day when 790 had Dan Patrick's crappy show on. what's that thing Lebatard does when someone greets him, he plays like a 30 second montage clip of a bunch crap that doesn't make sense. then hangs up on the caller. he should stop that. it's dumb and gets old quick. or at least use a shorter clip.
March 4, 200521 yr So far i've been liking 790, esp. DeFo. He is the funniest sports guy in SoFla One negative: Joe Rose is terrible. He has nothing to say about every topic, just dropping useless phrases like "boy, they are fun to watch"
