Re: Changes at 105.7 The Fan
I think he likes it. I imagine he holds a bit of clout and if he wanted he could have Conn removed from his show. He seems at least on the air like he enjoys the banter.
I'm curious what the ratings for the show are too. That may have something to do with the pairing. The Fan overall outperforms everyone else in the area, but I'm curious how his show does compared to the other drive-time shows on the station.

Bob Haynie sounds like Marge Simpson's sisters with cotton mouth! LOL

Re: Changes at 105.7 The Fan
My opinions:
Scott & Jeremy is fantastic, definitely my favorite show on the station.
Vinny & Rob is hit-or-miss. Vinny can be really annoying, but they have a good rapport and I appreciate Vinny's insight, even if he was a terrible GM.
Norris & Davis is mediocre-to-bad. They're both annoying and long-winded. I usually prefer silence on my way to work over their show.
Haynie & Zinno is unbearable - Haynie's voice & Zinno's personality are incredibly annoying to me. Terry Ford is awful - partly because of his voice and partly because of his lack of compelling topics. Glenn Younes is probably the 2nd best host at the station behind Garceau, it's too bad he isn't featured more.

Re: Changes at 105.7 The Fan
Well, Tony, let's see. Here's the description posted for this forum:
The friendly Ravens forum for everyone! Pure Ravens talk during the season - this may include discussion of competing NFL teams and players, if relevant to Ravens football.
For some reason I thought you had a separate forum for media stuff; I see now you don't. Maybe you need one for discussions like this. But then it wouldn't get the visibility you apparently want it to have.And really if it's such a bother, why bother?

Re: Changes at 105.7 The Fan
The bottom 5 threads on the front page haven't been replied to in over a full day. And this is during a week in which the Ravens have a playoff game upcoming. Clearly, nothing of major interest is being pushed off of the front page as a result of the media thread.
My suggestion, get laid and stop sweating the small stuff. You'll be much happier.

I'll miss Bob but not Zinno, who singlehandedly made it impossible to listen at that time slot anyway. I've made my peace with Rob & Vinny and I can listen to Scott and Jeremy, but Zinno comes across as an arrogant, ignorant blowhard.
Notwithstanding his service to our country.Festivus
His definitions and arguments were so clear in his own mind that he was unable to understand how any reasonable person could honestly differ with him.

Re: Changes at 105.7 The Fan
Nice job cherry-picking one item from the forum description to suit your argument. I am sure it was a simple oversight on your part leaving out the rest of the description so let me finish it for you ....
OT stuff is allowed when we're not busy and may still be moved eventually.
Far too many facts here. Hyperbole and obfuscation are the themes right now.

Re: Changes at 105.7 The Fan
As Nasty's atty said after the Jen Royale case was dismissed you can pretty much say anything you want about a public figure.
These dudes like Ron Burgandy and Zinno are public figures and will take their lumps on the radio and especially on message boards which is t he nature of the beast.
Ron Burgandy actually got on a caller once on the air.
Marty Ass threatened the entire city of Baltimore to a fight and gave his seat and row number to come up to visit him. He was so upset they pulled him off the air and Don Scott came on and said Marty isn't feeling well today folks. LOL
The guy Burgandy was pissed at was an ultimate fighter and would have clobbered him faster than Mike McCreary got it. Burgandy gets names on the air not just messeage board. The station could have been sanctioned by the FCC after a bunch of dirty names got thru on the air by a caller. He said it was one of those internet guys-lol. I'm sure he was thinking of me but I never call any shows. And when I did meet him at a Nest function I introduced myself and he did nothing.
I don't know of anyone called Scott Garceau any names. Jeremy, yes, but not Scott.
If they don't like it, don't go into public life.Last edited by AirFlacco; 01-02-2013 at 02:11 PM.

Re: Changes at 105.7 The Fan
IMO Scott Garceau is the only legit "Radio Voice" on the station. Aside from the odd sucking/slurping spit sound he makes from time to time (that reminds me of my mother-in-law), he's a pro. Sometimes he has a bit of old fogey-ness to him... but I generally like him. Zinno is a "know it all" downer. Won't miss him at all. Rob and Vinny are fine when they actually talk sports and stop the goofy laughing, "I gots street cred", white boy/black guy nonsense. Just bring some educated content Vinny... cause your sense of humor is pretty immature and really not funny.
As for Bob Haynie, recently he sounds like he has cotton balls in his mouth. Maybe they gave him a different kind of Mic at 105.7 but I don't remember hearing that at WNST. His content is fine.
Bottom line, I tolerate all of these guys for the most part. The part of these shows that suck is the callers. There are a couple of good ones. But Godamn, why do they answer calls from the retards? And if I have to listen to Bob in Parkville recount the glory days, I'm gonna stab myself in the face... and If I have to listen to Ed in Arbutus' scripted coach speak rants... I'm going to cut my ears off. I also like to listen to NFL on Sirius. I love Pat Kirwin.Last edited by MinnesotaRaven; 01-02-2013 at 03:44 PM.
