We are really lucky to have many sports talk stations in Phoenix. We've got Gambo and Ash, Larry Gaydos, Roy Garibaldi, Dan DeBoca, Dale Hellestrae, Bill Lewis, Mike Jurecki, Tome Zenner, Steve Swanson, Evan Andea, Bob Kemp, etc, etc. The list goes on.

Who is your favorite and why? Who do you hate?

I used to hate Jurecki, but ever since he became "IN" with the Cards he is pretty good. He is still critical of players which is rare when somebody is affiliated with the team.

I can't stand the Phoenix Suns or Diamondbacks "insiders" they sugar coat everything like these teams can do no wrong

Either Bob Kemp or Mike Jureki.

Both are very knowledgeable.

MJ knows more about football but both are very good.

I love how Kemp lambasts his idiotic callers.

I used to love listening to Jeff Kennedy a few years back. As for right now, Lew and Mike are probably the most fun to listen to because they talk Cardinals more than anyone else.

Could someone post the station numbers for some of these people?

I've always wanted to listen to sports stuff but I don't know the channels of the radio.

Thanks Ash, you the man! :thumbup:

I only listen to 1060.

All the shows are good. Even the Pressbox with Swanny and Zenner is ok once in awhile.

The rest of the lineup is very solid.

Jeff was awesome. He and I and NEM used to go round and round when he had his late evening show, The Locker Room.

I think I still have his email address for the company he went to after his radio gig was up. He was organizing and promoting private jets for celebrities and sports stars.

Did anyone used to listen to Arnies army on 1360 KGME back in the day or Tony Famino back when he did sports? I grew up listening and calling into those guys shows. Now I listen to Mj and Lew.

I used to hate Dan Bickley, but I have to say, his morning show is growing on me.

He talks about good issues a lot, and I usually find myself looking forward to seeing what he has to say about something.

Gambo is an idiot.

I hate them all. They all suck!!! They are the most uninformed jokers that i have ever heard claim to be sports talk people.

I grew-up with Van Miller of Buffalo, Howard C., Lee Lenard, Mel Allen, to say a few. These local sports people other Than Jude or Fuey really are terrible. Trust me they are. All they want our teams is to trade all of our good players so they have something to talk about.

Look at the yotes. Most of the guy we trade or let get away played in the NHL play-off. The Bullon Wall is the goalie of Tampa Bay.

I wish that we could trade our cut MJ, Zenner, Gambo, Asher, and most of the rest. See how they would like it.

I list4en to them also because I am at work at that time. Gambo is a sissy neck, but it makes for good radio listening to his BS.

Didn't Tony Famino with Gatos and Shonny on 860?

Arnies Army was the first real sports radio show I started listening to. You guys remember When Bruce Jacobs was with Wild Bill?

My favorite now I think has become Kemp. That dude does his homework.

The all time worst show is Roy Girabaldi's Positive Side of Sports.

Lou's Reviews is also a complete waste of time. Why would I want to hear about all the golf courses some rich dude plays on?

gambo and ash are my favorites.....Jurecki is the best in town when it comes to football but he is REALLY uninformed when it comes to the other sports, he's a borderline idiot when it comes to basketball.
