97.1 The Fan (official thread)

Awful Announcing ‏@awfulannouncing
97.1 in Columbus has confirmed our report - Scott Torgerson is on suspension for his Desmond Howard tweet.

But he wasn't suspended last week for proving what a douche he is when he said he'd be one of those guys cheering for Matt Cassel (or any other player that he thinks sucks) to be injured?

Come to think about it, Common man and the Douche rolls off the tongue (not literally).

The turd wont outlast this shit storm...he will be fired i bet if anyone nationally starts talking about it...MY GUY!

There's no reason he should stay. It's not like there's a premium on talking out of ones' ass. BP has 1,000 members that would readily do Torg's job for half the money, and would be happy doing it.

My memory is foggy on some of the schedule, but was this a more solid day line-up:

Morning: Miller and Mark / Mike and Mike
Mid-Morning: Tony Kornheiser
Noon: Jim Rome / Dan Patrick
Afternoon: Spielman & Someone Else
Drive: Tim Benz/Fitzsimmons & Herbstreit

I swear it used to be head-and-shoulders better (not even close). The only downside I ever saw was being stuck with Mike and Mike during the morning drive (for sport fans in Central Ohio).

Said before, Fitz and Herbstreit was the best radio 1460 had going.

It has to be management or the Dispatch Company, because look at it now.

It's ex-TV people, a jock sniffer (Bishop), a guy who used to do sports updates on Christian radio and two guys who use catch phrases, schtick and caller polls.

Is there anyone other than ex-players that would make you guys happy? :lol:

It's sports entertainment radio, emphasis on entertainment. It's for ratings. You aren't supposed to like them. That's the point!

I actually listen to the Dan Patrick pod cast on the way home. Riccordati and Torgerson appeal to the 2% of the fan base that want everyone fired and think everyone and everything sucks.

I also sometimes listen to Hooley and his crew on 850 WKNR. It's great for Indians and Browns bashing and if two teams ever deserved to be bashed it's those two.

I don't think you guys would like anyone on there.

You hate Common Man and Torg
You hate Bishop and Rothman
You hate Paul Keels
I've already heard someone in this thread hating Craig Krenzel

All this hate.....just turn off the radio. As I've said, they're not saying anything that you guys aren't saying here anyways.

As I take a quick glance at the members list sorted by reputation, BB73 isn't saying it, Bucky Katt isn't saying it, osugrad21 isn't saying it, jwinslow isn't saying it, BUCKYLE isn't saying it, Deety isn't saying it, BKB isn't saying it, NFBuck isn't saying it, jlb1705 isn't saying it, MililaniBuckeye isn't saying it, Jaxbuck isn't saying it, BusNative isn't saying it, Muck isn't saying it, LordJeffBuck isn't saying it, DBB isn't saying it, AKAK isn't saying it, wadc45 isn't saying it, and so on.

Obnoxious, ignorant negative nancies on a message board saying stupid things doesn't make it any less annoying when obnoxious, ignorant negative nancies say those same things on the radio.

I haven't listened to 97.1 in years and I haven't posted on BP in almost a week for basically the same reasons. I'm just glad that everyone (mostly the people listed above) doesn't stop posting or this place would be just as unbearable as the Common Man and the Torg.

Here's what they're saying on the show.

The Defensive showing is inexcusable and needs to be fixed
Devin Smith needs to catch those sure TD passes
Fickell's job isn't in danger yet, but when your boss comes in to watch you closer, you better fix things.
The missed tackles on runs up the middle are inexcusable.
The pizza guy shouldn't have lost his job, but it was s stupid thing to say.

(Friday) Cleveland Browns suck, but they should be able to beat the Bengals
(Monday) Bengal fans are on suicide watch because they lost to the Browns
You can't bet on NFL games, because nothing is a sure bet anymore

The NHL lockout is stupid because it's going to kill fan dedication to an extent.
