Very entertaining show back in the day. I always listened to the Coach when I was little. He got so angry over the stupidest stuff. And outside of football, he knew next to nothing about other sports. He especially didn't know his hockey, but played it off like he did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach talked a fan out of driving into the water off the top of the Peace Bridge after another dismal Bills loss best was the fan calling often asking Marv to get his head out of his little Shakespeare book and start coaching the team as it skids into oblivion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpberr Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 I really enjoyed Jay Mohr when he got his own show opposite Jim Rome a few years ago. His Jim Rome impression made me laugh every single time. Not sure whatever happened to him - he seems to have largely disappeared from Hollywood.

boater Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 When I lived in the DC area, I liked to listen to Tony Kornheiser. His sports coverage was pretty good, but I really liked it when Tony would veer off onto an unsports topic. He's good at talk radio. To my knowledge, TK is off the air and doing podcasts now.

Tony and Wilbon are still doing PTI which is still the gold standard for journalists crossing over into TV IMO. Unfortunately it spawned a lot of bad imitations.

Regarding baseball, it's all Giants...A's get no play at all (even when the A's had their own sports radio station). Football, I could care less about the local teams. Not into basketball talk and hockey talk is non-existent here in the Bay Area (since I despise the Sharks too, could care less). I don’t listen often, but the local guys talking about the Warriors is horrible. It’s like listening to guys discuss what happened on General Hospital yesterday. At least when they talk about the Giants they are discussing what guys do on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time I ever seem to stop on their station is when Steinmetz and ??? are on. Occasionally they'll have Papa on (Buffalo guy, but Bay Area homer). I can't listen, it's constant good cop, bad cop radio. Papa just likes to hear himself talk. It's a quick stop while my other stations are on commercial, plus 95.7 is hit and miss in the North Bay. Horrible reception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were things that would "set him off", and like 2 of 3 calls were people either pushing his buttons and/or pranking. He would go nuts. It was probably all an act and intentional. It was highly entertaining and i would be glued anf calling every day as a kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Least likeable would be the thug Pistons who had to wait for Bird and Magic to fall apart, then Jordan had to wait for the Pistons to fall apart.
