Houston's Worst Sports Radio Personality

I cringe when I turn on my truck and hear Vandamere and Lopez in the morning blathering on about chick flicks or hair gel or Lady Gaga or whatever other non-sports spewage that seems to occupy their minds. That's not sports talk radio. That's some kind of lame metrosexual gayfest, and for that, they get my vote as Houston's Worst Sports Radio Personality.

Yep ... I'm getting back into music .
 
For all you sports radio fans you should check out Craig Shelton's (Lesbian Craig) blog here.

Its called Houston Media Watch, they analyze and give their opinions on all the local sports talk personalities, as well as sports in general, and music. Its a great site.

Errr - a blog about radio personalities from a guy I thought stunk, was a glorified regular caller, and ended up getting fired?

(I stand corrected if I am wrong about that).

*edit* I skimmed the blog. As someone who doesn't care about sport talk radio hosts opinions on most things other than sports, I certainly don't care about a bunch of regular sports show callers opinions on the same things. I'll be nice to the blog and say while not for me, I am glad you enjoy it. (A 6 page small font article on weight loss from a sports radio show caller, come on!)

The whole sexy traffic thing has GOT to go. It has gotten way beyond creepy.

As with my opinion of a certain Houston journalist - if sex is what lands you into your position, I will NEVER respect you (which differs from someone who did something when they were younger years before their job).

But all these creepy ass callers calling in and talking about the video of her makes me shiver. Then the hosts joke about what those guys do to themselves while watching the video *shivers more*

Wow - I am opinionated today, lol.

Well see Craig is a close personal friend of mine. If you ever got a chance to meet him, and sit and talk with him you would see that he is a very kind hearted, and super nice guy. When my Nephew was laid up in the hospital after his car accident he came to visit him almost every day.

As far as him getting "fired" from 610 there is a lot more to the story that people don't know, but I wont go into details. Lets just say it wasn't all his fault.

Hes just a sports radio junkie, that likes to voice his opinions on how he sees the local sports talk industry in Houston.

I'm not gonna knock you for your opinion, everyone is different and has different views on things. Its all good bro. :cool:
 
Callers....

Freddy in Richmond. I can't stand that loser. I heard him call every show out there. All of them. I heard him on an overnight nat'l show puking up things that Rich Lord said earlier in the day.

He calls the fishin' show. I was listening to Randy Lemmon earlier today and was thinking "I bet even he won't call the gardenline" and he did!!

And I am with Ryan on the callers that beg for jobs when they call in and those that tyr to run with that status. The Block Party got canned because of ratings. Craig may be a good guy (I know he is as he tried to promote kids stuff) but there's a reason he's not on the air. And how could you ever take anyone semi-seriously that calls himself Lesbian? It's just foolish.

Brad In Spring Branch....I am trying to think of a bigger buffoon. If one comes to mind I'll post it.

Thanks for the headsup on that. I'll make sure to leave my radio off the next time I roll to SA.

Tune to ESPN 1250 The Zone. They're the official sports station of the Houston Texans in SA and the Chris and Jason show is actually pretty good. Ticket 760 with host Mike Taylor is just awful! Think of one of those annoying Cowboy fans that are beyond obnoxious....then give them a microphone and that's what it is.
 
My list in order:

1. Josh Innes
2. John Lopez
3. Rich Lord
4. Carl Dukes
5. Brad Davies
6. Barry Warner

Notice how many are on 610? Carl Dukes would be number 2 if he were actually on a station I listened to....

I actually like Marc, despite his homerism, but I stopped listening when they brought John Lopez over and brought in Josh Innes.

I have, and he did seem really nice :) Doesn't mean I enjoy him on the radio, though.






In Summary, I think the ONLY Houston person NO ONE hates is CP :)

+2 man!MT is the suck of suck!Him and this dude named Jim Bob are Cowboy knob polishers.He calls himself a Spurs fan but,you can tell he pulls for the Mavs.He also flip flops back and forth being a Stros fan and a Rangers fan.Anyway the C&J show is a helluva lot better,they are Cowboy fans but,they do talk about the Texans.In fact they will be at Reliant for the second day of the draft.
 
I don't see how you can not like Pallilo. The guy really doesn't strike me as a hater (like Gwinn does) but he does, very often, present the viewpoint of somebody who doesn't root for the Texans, but in a non-childish way. He's also ridiculously respectful to his callers.

Josh Innes is ridiculous and so is Gwinn. Almost everything on 1560 is on the bad side, and it's pretty sad that the best show on 610 is Jim Rome by far.

Yep ... those two genuises that I've never heard of , know everything . Then to boot , all the other guys just like him start calling in . Sounds like half his audience are Titan fans , so I turn the dial .

Sean and John on 1560 during the afternoon really are bad...no charisma, no hook, and no substance... one is on there because he's witty and won a few 'Smack Offs' on Jim Rome so I guess that makes him radio worthy, and the other is just there because he's Zierlein's homeboy from the Richmond, TX that basically peaked in high school sports and still resting on those laurels...

You've obviously never heard Sean do his Good Ol' JR impersonations Manny! Sean and John are awesome. Outside of LZ, John Harris is the most knowledgable football mind in the city. They are really good and very entertaining imo. The worst...Rich Lord, and its not even close.
 
Lord doesn't even watch MNF live.

That tells you not really a football fan.

That he's the Texans sideline reporter says something.

I agree. Harris knows sports than most people out there. The guy lives to watch film and breaks down college and pro football as good as anyone. I also like Sean's takes on things. Both knowledgeable guys. Many must have listened once.

I listen to them often, usually off and on everyday, and I'm not the biggest fan.

They're good when they're talking sports, but they try too hard to be funny a lot of the time and those parts of the show are unbearable. They don't have the chemistry and humor that LZ and John Grant do, so I wish they'd play to their strengths more and talks sports. That's not to say I want them to be Pallilo-esque, because things like The Hatchetman are radio gold, but I think they could do well by tipping the scales back toward more sports talk. If I want to listen to people try (and fail) to be funny, I'd find 610 and make it a preset on my dial again.

Also, I must say, the more I hear the Mighty Gwen, the more awful he is. He's your classic sports shock jock, in the mold of Skip Bayless. On a scale of 1-10, where 1 is "The Monsters of the Mid-Day" and 10 is LZ and JG, Gwen is a 0.
 
I like most of 1560, though at times they get a little frat boyish and silly. I like ND Kalu. I change the station when John McClain and Richard Justice come on. Most of 610 is bad.
