Re: 105.7 The Fan 2PM Show Weinman and LaCanfora are an utter embarrassment
I don't like to bash the local radio guys (except Bruce), but I admit that the Ken and Jason show has become increasingly knee jerk, cynical and hard to enjoy.
Ken has always been a prisoner of the moment, loving or hating individual players or coaches based on a memory that doesn't seem capable or rewinding beyond an hour or two of stored observations.
I'm okay with criticism, by the way. Lamar did play crappy.
But where I have an issue with these two is (1) the tendency to be myopic and reactive, particularly Ken, as noted above, and (2) a tendency to present their criticism in the form of the sky-is-falling outrage, coupled with the certainty that they have all the answers if only the team would listen to them...particularly Jason.
They cherry pick observations in service to their own point of view. I don't mind when people have a point of view, but I do take issue when the show seems to be more about their points of view than about the teams or players. It's a pathological need to be right rather than a desire to be insightful. It really has started to feel like they take pleasure in shitting on the local teams, players, coaches, etc.
It really just wears me out, taking the joy out of being a sports fan when they harp on negatively day after day with no real balance."That's what."

I wrongly assumed those guys were national. I worked once upon a time during the heyday of radio in Canada. You don't need to remind me about making peanuts lol I have the t-shirt. The stars made good money, as did upper management and the sales guys but on the backs of the rest of us snooks.
Jokingly I told everyone I worked with that we should do a TV show based on this place. It was a zoo! A couple of years later something called WKRP Cincinnati turns up on the tube. I couldn't believe what an idiot I was. I worked with everyone of those characters at one station. They already existed, right in front of my nose and I was so dumb to let the opportunity of a lifetime go by.

You think listening to these clowns are bad you should check out laconforas Twitter.
He posts some very divisive, disgusting stuff.
When the Kenosha shooting stuff happened he posted some really outlandish shit. He then deleted the tweets. I had snapshots of it on my old phone. I remember another one he posted really quickly was about most dangerous thing in this country is white people with guns about a shooting that happened then he deleted it once the shooter was identified and wasn’t white.
How he gets away with that stuff while being employed by cbs and 105.7 is beyond me.
He sucks. That show along with Coleman lost me while ago. The morning show is only one I usually listen to anymore.

It is FF data, so take it for what it is worth....
Data from the last 10 years shows that when a QB misses a game for an illness his productivity drops by 30 some percent in fantasy football, Larmar's drop was 39% this week. The same data show that it is only a one week drop and the subsequent week productivity returns to baseline, which bodes well for Lamar and the Ravens this week.

Lamar is not the prototypical QB and that drives some people crazy. He is the most gifted player in the NFL and sometimes tries to do too much and creates turnovers. It seems as though that Harbaugh and crew want to make Lamar a drop back QB but Lamar excels on the run when he creates plays. They want a guy like Brady or even Flacco but Lamer thrives on the edge where he is insanely successful and some people can't handle this type of play.
