| Worst Sports Talk
Having just moved to Arkansas and listening to the premiere sports talk here, well, it's a trip. This has to be the worst sports talk in the country. they have this guy named Randy Rainwater (no joke) and he sounds as though he never stepped foot in a classroom.

I have it in my home, my car, my office...can't imagine living without it.
The local sports talk guys here in South Carolina are feeble-minded, uninformed, delusional half-wits. I understand that this isn't exclusive to South Carolina, and is the case with most small-town sports guys...but it doesn't make it any more tolerable to me as a listener.
I take it the move went well, and mother and baby are enjoying life in razorback country? | |

| Lexington, KY has got to be the worse. I can think of three that pop into my mind - Dick Gabriel, Drew Deener, and Chris Cross. All thee are huge UK homers. I'm sure LexVol can attest to these. | |

I remember once he tried to argue that JaJuan Smith was lazy in practice because he wore earrings. He said that no one would be able to wear earrings if they were putting out enough effort. | |

I have Sirius, but when I totaled my car I have yet to buy a new receiver. I will soon because these morons are killing me.

| Other than Tirico and SVP, I don't like many national shows. Rome is one of the worst.
I prefer local sports talk. I like hearing local/regional stuff, not what the Seattle Mariners are doing. National shows seem to talk too much about pro sports which I am just a casual fan of. I do like Rivals Radio most of the time though.
