    Not sure why, GUNNY. I don't know if it's because they have so many hours to fill. Even Mike and Mike spend time talking about silly things. Dan Patrick also spends a lot of time talking about things other than sports, and these are national shows. March madness is at its peak, there's the NBA playoff picture coming into focus, and NFL news, NHL playoffs on the horizon, and these shows all fill the airwaves with things other than sports.

    how come most sports talk shows-will hit the hi-lites and then on to something entirely different
    Mel Kiper spent most of his saturday show talking about the tv show the bachelor and the local guys don't talk sport hardly at all- I travel a lot and lot of sports show out of this region talk more sports in 15 minutes than locals do in 3 hours.

    woke up turned the tv on morning sports show was all about the oscars- put it on wral 1, in their words all the programming wral had on prior to today was garbage, they are bragging about all the new shows and sports events they will have but they will not have cbs college football and basketball but will Notre Dame football(some)will not have the masters-lot of downside to their move, channel 17 hardly says a word but I think are secretly jumping for joy at what they have gained-sorry wral-tv but I will watch a lot of tv 17 from today on- put that in your peacook and smoke it. Just my 2 cents!-can't believe they would not me spell peac--k correctly-

    I remember that show, was on tuesdays or wednesdays, good show, 103.5 (Jon boy and Billy) he comes on that show once in a while, he is a no nonsense guy tell it like it is.
    The local guys morning and afternoon show be on one of these fm talk/music shows
    Glenn show can be ok in spells after 10 minutes of his rambling on, he will talk a little sports
    He is always talking like he is in a court trying to discredit a witness.

    Never have been a Gottlieb guy- he can be a little arrogant
    lot of the sports media types think they can say anything
    if it sticks good if not oh well sorry. Seems the local guys
    are trying to out do the national media.
    Years ago there was a show that came on during the week
    called primed time in the ACC-with Mark Packer that was
    a great show, he packed a lot of sports into one hour. The show is still on, I heard it the other day but it sucks now. I catch Packer on xm when I am driving the car that has it Their are no real local sport talk shows locally, use to be all the rivalry games would be talked all week (unc-state,State-duke, Unc Duke) last week the unc duke was touched on but no real good coverage- heard some mentions of state-unc They are more interested in American Idol, Game shows and music it would real nice to get a real sports show (just sports), sorry I have rattled on too much, all have a good day

    DG never misses an opportunity to brag. He saud he's been covering the ACC for 30 years. Last year he said it was "more than 25". And he had to say he (literally) had a million dollars to bet about Hubert Davis not being the next HC.

    Gottlieb came off like an a**. I was glad Roy set the record straight. Gottlieb's statement could be very damaging to recruiting. Agree that Roy could have chosen not to go the "shorts on backwards" route. Gottlieb never should have made that statement IMHO.

    "Neither look like they can even catch any type of ball, but they know everything. I usually listen to the ones that have actually played the game." Toddler

    lol

    I prefer to watch the guys who actually played and have a very good understanding of things. When watching MLB, for example, most of the guys talking actually played.

    Glenn does seem to know everything like Greenburg from ESPN along with Skip Bayless from First Take. That guy thinks Romo and Brady do nothing wrong.

    Hubert Davis will probably not be the next head coach but I would never say never because that's when you get caught with your pants down.
    Wasn't everybody saying Phil Ford would succeed Dean Smith, he wasn't a head coach, may have been if hadn't gotten in bad situation.

  • Maxwell Silver III Feb 23, 2016

    heard Gottlieb was gonna be on Gleen's show- wanted to hear it. Sounds like Roy took a bite, but should have left the personal insults out.
    Glenn took up the battle and kind of made an a-- out of himself (from what I heard) did he mention that he is lawyer, owned multiple businesses, a genuine expert on everything ACC.

  • Toddler10-21 Feb 23, 2016

    I heard part of it yesterday. Neither look like they can even catch any type of ball, but they know everything. I usually listen to the ones that have actually played the game. My opinion Hubert Davis won't be the next UNC coach because of zero head coaching, but a lot have been hired without HC experience and done very well. Capel should be a no brainer at Duke.

    Whatever your source, you're very informed about sports, B. Some local sports radio shows have become their own versions of "The View". I keep the radio on as background.

    Yesterday was very interesting, though. David Glenn has Doug Gotlieb on, and they were discussing Gotleib's comments about Roy retiring after this season and Hubert Davis a likely candidate to take over as HC. The discussion got a little contentious, which is very unusual on that show. Gotleib accused David Glenn of "attacking" him (he didn't, but he did bet a million dollars that Hubert Davis would NOT be Carolina's next HC. And DG made it clear he has a million dollars and would make the bet.

    I don't listen to sports radio, Gunny. My opinions generally come from the following;

    1- saw the game
    2-accessed team's site for info. (news/updates/stats)
    3-saw a segment on something (ex. Carolina Panthers Programming, Intentional Talk-MLB, etc.)
    4-online research
    5-past experiences/observations

    Nothing against sports radio - just not my thing.

    David Glenn (the 12 -3 guy) is smart, but he always has to brag about something. He's been saying that he's been "covering the ACC for 30 years". Um, he's in him mid-forties, so unless he started covering the conference when he was a mid-teen, he's lying. He brings too many things back to himself, no matter what the subject it.

    Adam went to Maryland, and I don't think played any sports. He's smart and writes very well, but is very condescending, and if he doesn't agree with you, you have no chance. I don't believe Joe played any sports at all. He used to produce the radio show and got promoted years ago to where he is now. He likes to fancy himself a "hipster". He seems to take clues from Adam as to how to treat callers, but on his own, he's not as mean-spirited.

    I like Manascalso and Lauren Brownlow - glad Mark is gone, but the new guy isn't good either.

    I like Mike & Mike the best, but like to hear local sports talk.

    Ovies may have a badminton star, probably retired early from hang nail, Gold may have been a third string offensive lineman to slow to actually have played.
    You would think they were lettermen in about 4 sports-I notice they love to criticize Roger Godell, I do believe he has mad a lot of mistakes but to handle the pressure that man has to deal with I think he earns his money.
    I do listen to them on a limited basis, when they go a tangent I turn the channel, used to like the morning show, since they got rid of Mark and brought in a female and another guy their show is going in the same direction-both shows are more a fm jock shows than sports.
    The noon show is more to the point of sports but the guy on there goes on these long rants much about nothing ends up with a plug for a business or something personal in his life can only listen to that in small doses.

  • DIAMONDBISHOP Feb 13, 2016

    From reading the comments, I have a question. Did Gold or Ovies play HS/college ball? Just curious as to how they arrived at their expertise. Anybody know? If they're going to belittle others, take a condescending approach, etc., I'd be interested in knowing what road they took. :)

    Like the "Gunn and Gunny" reference, Maxwell:)

    Some Denver players were ripping Cam about his attitude. I hope he doesn't become a target next season. Time to let all this go and move on, but players can have long memories, and if the dancing and dabbing rubbed them wrong, Cam's reaction to the loss only rubs salt in those wounds. I didn't even think of the endorsement side, and you're right, it probably cost Newton some big bucks. That said, someone could probably come up with the right product. If there was a product for "sour grapes", Newton would be a good spokesperson. Sometimes, it's good to poke fun at yourself, like Steve Harvey did after his gaffe at the beauty contest.

    good morning gunn and gunny
    been down with a cold couple of days woke up this morning and the show 5.2,
    was on - these guys are all about protecting Cam, as the old saying goes you reap what you sow
    Cam has plenty of time to redeem himself cause what he said rub a lot of people the wrong way
    Jerry Richardson will not condemn his QB but his silence about the matter says a lot.
    The matter of endorsements was talked about, the guys on didn't seem to understand the damage that Newton has done to himself-cost himself a lot of money.
    Hopefully his agent can get it across to him it not humbling to humble, just release a small press release about regretting then the healing can begin. Next year he is gonna catch a lot flack from competitors on the field and news media feeds on this stuff-

    Taylor Zaraour used to have a show on at 9 am on 620 The Buzz back in '08 - '09. Then he moved to Charlotte and had an afternoon show on 620 as well. Then he went on to Sirius I believe. He did a good job.

    I remember when it was the buzz, the bull before wral got involve and was another am station that had guy name Taylor on-his show was good and was putting a dent into bull and buzz.
    to many other things are discussed not pertaining to sports, put them on G105 and get a real sports show on.

    listened to a little of Bold and Blovious tuesday, yes were still on their kick-better careful criticizing Cam they will infer that you are a racist.
    Last year Russell had a heartbreaking loss in the last seconds of the Super bowl-yet he showed up at press conference with class and I know he had to be hurting!!

    I'm a Heels fan, but Cat Barber is the best player in the ACC IMHO. I don't believe a team's W/L record should play a factor in determining who gets ACC POY. I have to hand it to Gottfried - he's keeping a positive attitude and his players never quit.

    The Heels have talent, but they haven't played well since the game @ Florida State. They look disorganized and aren't shooting well, and are fouling too much. I'm not sure what's going on, but with their back-loaded schedule, they need to figure things out or they'll be losing more games than they win. Last night @ BC was a perfect example. How do they let the worst team in the ACC beat their tails for most of the game? Paige is hitting some shots, but he also missed a fair share, even FT's. He's still out of sorts. Good to see Jackson step up last night - they needed every single one of his points.

    Hope we can keep posting here - very refreshing to talk sports!

  • GUNNY III Feb 10, 2016

    maybe this will a secret hide away, I will admit I get a little crazy but only in response to someone crazy statement.
    As far as BB I am pack fan and will be the first to admit this is a bad year but I still go to games
    mainly because I love to watch Cat Barber play.
    Think UNC is one dependable player away, they have outstanding players but when they all disappear makes for a tough night!
    Duke is starting to come around great shooting but that could be their achilles on any giving night.

    Hey, thanks, GunnyIII! I read but stay off the Carolina/Duke/State forums because of obvious reasons. I hope this Panthers forum stays alive to talk about real sports - college b ball included! Smack can be fun, but it hasn't been in a long time in those forums. In this forum, we've been able to actually discuss sports without personal attacks, even when we agree to disagree. Please keep posting here! Would love to start talking b ball since the SB is over.

    I actually did not call the show, was fooling around on computer and picked station, when in my car I don't listen to them, can listen to a little bit of Patrick, some Mike and Mike.
    It seem like he was maturing but he took a giant leap backwards Sunday, hearing what he said today about he wasn't gonna change sounds like something an early teen would out of spite
    he is 26 years old it is time start growing u, he has kept his nose clean since being with the Panthers, that I give him credit for so many in the league have not.
    some one higher up in the organization needs to talk to him, you are gonna have ups and downs. The higher up you go it is a long drop- look at the positives 1-you make millions of dollars for playing a game. 2- We have people in the military that have seen friends lose legs, arms and lives protecting his right to live in a great country for a small salary.
    3- sit back and take a look at your life Cam and realize how great you

    Agree most with #5. I'd never call into their show. If you disagree with them, they belittle you.
    #4 - Agree, and was pleasantly surprised. Norman can be a loose canon, but he did show class after a loss that really hurt.
    #3 - Hope Cam does improve/mature. He has definitely progressed in maturity and leadership, but that post-game presser was poor.

    1-a listener questioning going easy on Cam, your voices got loud I know you were turning red.
    2-Cam had a great season, not achieved greatness yet must put a couple great season together
    3-Cam's performance at the press conf. purely immaturity, as an earlier show said with good coaching he should be able to improve this.
    4-Was impress with the class of Josh Norman
    5-As to treatment of your callers-you guys need to show some maturity
