Top 2 Notable Shows: ESPN Radio

The singularly worst is arguable since being the worst involves personal taste, but simply being bad at what show you show us or let us hear is generally agreed upon. I listen to ESPN Radio on WXGI 950 AM out of Richmond, Virginia where during the daytime their offerings are different than what's listed on ESPN's website.

At 10 am I get to listen to or rather to endure Dan Patrick instead of Colin Cowherd...you'll notice I said Cowherd and NOT Cowterd which would have been an easy mistake...stepping in a cowterd at lunch time is no walk in the woods either. 1 pm has Jim Rome on ESPN Radio in Richmond instead of some markets that have the Scott Van Pelt Show. I'm gonna' dig deep into my resolve soon and do profiles of Dan Patrick and Jim Rome...it's so hard to do the right thing and write the term paper with my own research...I was channeling Jim Rome and Dan Patrick for a moment as I mock their disdain for college students. Jim Rome is burning, burning, burning...I can't stop saying it! Where's the fire, firemen, firehouse?!...and we didn't start the fire Mr Roman Candleabra..."Good one, man" Romey says to unanimous agreement.

This is all of course just a slice of his show and my reaction to it. Here are the two most notable (notable for their deficiencies) luminaries on ESPN Radio. I'll try to find someone to compliment in a future story.

The Dan Patrick Show
Dan Patrick...my instinct--no joke--is to call the FCC to file a complaint regarding Dan Patrick who has made Richmond, Virginia endure insanely irrelevant, irreverent, perverted, and off-the-charts obnoxious "sports news." I guess that means he's bad in a maliciously nasty and perverted way. You could argue--accurately--he's not actually employed to deliver sports news but to intimidate the neighborhood. He's been known as the ESPN "problem solver." What kind of problem do you have?

He wouldn't want to complain to anyone on Broad Street in Richmond about my observations. Take a drive down Broad Street or Staples Mills Road in Richmond during his show's air time. They--ESPN Radio--also rebroadcast his shows all over Richmond twenty four hours a day for maximum pain delivery to ALL local passersby and residents. TRUE story!

Rome is Burning
Jim Rome...he's essentially the weirdest and most dynamically challenged "sports personality" on ESPN Radio in Richmond, Virginia. He's been weird prior to "arriving" on sports radio in Richmond. His ESPN television show at 4:30 pm each weekday is bizarre to say the least...he's either interrogating his guests on the show for a crime or preparing an assault on them to get them involved in the "idea" of an assault. How smart is Jim Rome: to describe him is difficult if not impossible since he's so quirky and weird he doesn't even seek an actual sports audience. His radio show defies logical description...the bonus for his radio show is you don't need to watch the strange conversational atmosphere created by his often bewildered guests.
