He a great Cardinal and seems like an incredibly nice guy, but there HAS to be a better option for the 10a - noon spot on 98.7. He has some nice insight as a former Cardinals, but two hours of him hosting a show can be brutal.

What about Tim Ring &/or Kent Somers? Those guys are great!

I can only listen to Burns and Gambo.

Being raised Italian helps dealing with listening to Gambo who can be a little out there sometimes.

The rest of the shows on that channel are very tough to listen to.

B-Train needs a driver for his show. Badly. Listen to him fill in for Bickley and you will see how much of a world of difference it makes.

And the hags fan producer he has who sometimes drives the show is not an acceptable answer. Dude is awful.

Yes! Came here to say this. B Train on his own show is rough and clunky, but him filling in for Bick with Marotta running the show has been actually really good.

Hold Up Segment for the first year:

"We scurry the Internet for stories..."

It took them a YEAR to tell him the word he was looking for was "scour".

B-Train isn't my favorite show but it's not bad. He was such a great Cardinal and I appreciate him for that.

My favorite is Bick and Marotta

Haven't listened to his show in quite awhile. Please tell me he doesn't say "too blessed to be stressed" every five to ten minutes any more.

The plays all his greatest hits every five to ten minutes, on repeat, and will continue to do so forever. FOR-EV-ER!!!

When Tim Ring filled in with Gambo a few times about a year ago, I thought it was an incredible combo.

I think B-Train needs someone who will push him a little more than Vince though. I really love how much Jarett Carlen gets under his skin though, it's pretty amusing.

B train has good insight but he talks way to fast with no pause in the middle. Just tries to stuff everything in. He needs to slow down when he talks and pause here and there. It's tough some days to listen to him, even with Vinny.

Bick & Marotta have the best chemistry. Burns & Gambo are pretty good too but they're on for 4-hrs so they have to recycle stories.

I can't listen to B-Train or Doug &Wolf for more than a few minutes.

True, but Doug and Wolf have the best guests for theist part. Makes it tolerable.

Doug & Wolf are ok, I'm half asleep for the first half of their show just because of the time it's on anyway, so no big deal. But from about 9:30a, since the last half hour of their show is weak, to just after noon when Bick & Marotta are on, is the only time of the day I change from 98.7 to something else.

I agree about B-train, but Burns & Gambo are COMPLETELY unlistenable. Absolute amateur hour on every level. If I hear that nimrod shill for Pei Wei or talk about his fiancee (now wife) one more time, I may puke.

Best local show IMHO is Kenny & Crash. And they move them to evenings. Nothing worth a crap worth listening to during the morning drive. Outrageous.

The Freaks are brutal. Half the time they just go off on random tangents. Kenny does not have the voice for sports radio. So glad they got pulled from day time.

Apparently, 910 is experiencing a schedule change with Jurecki on 6am-7am for football talk, and from 4-7, Oehler will man The Drive solo with Jurecki on for roughly an hour. Dan Patrick, Rich Eisen and Cowherd sandwiched in the middle.

Should be interesting though that's too early for me to listen to Jurecki 's new show.

Me too but I would download and listen knowing it's football only. Surprising that would happen with the accolades his show is earning right now but maybe he's just getting promoted

You ever hear Holmberg do his Gambadoro character on KUPD? It's hilarious
