Hacker and Twigg

#21

I've tried to listen to some of the sports talk radio around here, and I don't think that I've tuned a station for longer than 30 minutes or so.  I would rather listen to what is being provided on satellite radio, and that's not saying much.




There are 10 kinds of people in this world.  Those who understand binary and those who don't.

Hacker is awesome. Just ask him......


What lies behind us, and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.

He was regular on Prisco's show, especially around draft time. Met him at a couple draft parties put on by 930. Good guy who takes it very serious.

What????  You didn't like Frangie/Ballou/Blaylock doing a full 2 hours on some concert they were seeing of some over the hill band, only interrupted by a pointless trivia question where they give percentages but never explain exactly what it is a percentage is for?  How could you turn your back on that????

Only to be interrupted by some college football writer that Frangie can refer to as "my buddy".

For awhile I couldn't STAND Hacker but he's grown on me.  I 110% like the additions of Wiggins.  I used to also dislike Prosser but he's grown on me.  I guess being the only local sports radio station helps.

 

 

BFD!

This is pretty much my take too.  1010/92.5 puts 930 to shame....so I look at it as good for them to at least trying to put a good product on the radio.

I like the combo of Hacker and T-Wigg.  Personally, I think Hacker is one of the best prepared and knowledgeable radio guys in town.  It's actually refreshing to see someone actually doing their homework and research prior to coming on the air.

I used to like Ballou but Frangie has brought him down.   The days when Ballou was on at noon ranting about how FSU needs to fire Bowden, start cheating, and win championships again used to have me rolling !!!

 

Now, as VistingCobra stated, they take up 30 minutes doing a 1 question trivia and assigning percentages that is meaningless to the listeners.

 

The only thing good about Frangie is the Jags hired him so he no longer says "My Steelers".   I'm working with the Marlins owner to hire him as well so he can quit saying "My Pirates"  --- dude never even lived in Pittsburgh.  We don't want him !!

Aren't the percentages thing the percentage he thinks they'll actually answer correctly?

Isn't that like having a QB who is a film rat but can't throw the ball well?

Hacker is the Blaine Gabbert of radio talk show hosts. 

Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

I just snortled.

 

Not unlike the time Blaylock called The Smiths classic rock.

I would never put him in the same category as Joe-U or Ox.  Joe-U is a Miami homer that cant see through the bias, and Ox just calls in for a laugh. 
 

OX's celebrity sightings are comedy gold.

 

He ran into Dennis Rodman recently in an airport.

 

OX:  What's up Worm?

Worm: ...

OX:  Where you headed, North Korea?

Worm: [BLEEP] you

That was arguably one of his better celebrity encounters.

Lol, I didnt hear that one.  That takes some guts to say to Rodman.

 

When he calls in though its usually pretty fun.  If you get him on the phone with Mr Ten, its good radio.

Yeah, they've got their regulars who are entertaining for sure.  Then they've got Joe U.
