OVER TALKING? WHO DRAWS THE LINE

April 14, 2024 by

Over talking is not an illness that needs a diagnosis and a treatment. More like a habit; for some a vocation. After all, every radio personality is an over talker by definition since we can’t see their faces. Not any more. Now everyone’s on a screen, ready or not. But I’m still a radio fan. […]

DAN PATRICK REPORTS IN

May 2, 2019 by

Dan Patrick is the face of sports biggest awards. No one hands out the Vince Lombardi trophy like Dan; no one wants to take it from anyone else. Mr. Patrick gave us something else today. Part apology, part confession, part reassurance, Dan ran down what’s been bothering him for years, and it’s not Reggie Miller.

COLIN COWHERD IN PORTLAND

November 27, 2015 by

When a man moves from east coast to west, two things happen. One if you’re Colin Cowherd. I am a fan of sports talk radio. Why? Because there’s no place in all of media that plays voices from all over America. Mostly man voices, and it was mostly men who attended Colin Cowherd’s book signing […]

You Learn More Than Sports From Sport Talk Radio. Lots More. How many times have you started talking about the Blazers and got a blank stare in return? If it hasn’t happened, it will.

CAN AXON SPORTS TESTING HELP BOOMERS?

OREGON DUCK, DUCK, GOOSE

September 1, 2014 by

No matter how the Oregon Ducks’ football season turns out this year, I’m making a request for next year. It’s not too early, not after watching Duck quarterback Marcus Mariota’s 2014 debut where he showed us what to expect from a focus player. Mariota isn’t the only good Duck.
