Adjusting to new sports talk radio

This is my first blog so I hope this posts all right. Any of you who are reading this know me and know that I'm in Louisiana. Here in Lafayette we have basically one sports station on a.m. radio. It's an espn station, but for 24 hours it's loacal talk radio. This is the worst talk radio I have ever listened to in my life. That being said, I find it very entertaining that people could be so retarded. I am used to the biased callers, being from MO with the cheif fans, but saints fans bring it to a whole nother level. Let me give you an example of a biased saints fan.

Caller: Do you think with our team, if they did just a little better than last year....we could get that ring?
Host: No, with out a doubt no. They need a great defense, and they lack that.
Caller: Wouldn't you say their defense is mediocer.
Host: yes
Caller: And you still don't think they have a shot.
Host: not a chance in hell
Caller: aaaaa I don't think so, other than the cowboys.....I don't see who could give them a run for their money

A lot of the humor in this call is the cajun, or in this case coon ass accent with a slight case of tardness. One fan did give me a new perspective on the farve situation

Caller: I've got a cure for this Farve sitiation
HOst: Ok, what you got?
Caller: All they have to do is trade him to the falcons, and he won't want to go and he will just go back into retirement
HOst: I don't think farve would do that
Caller: He doesn't have a choice, there is no trade clause in his contract.
Host: That would go against everything I have heard in the media
Caller: In fact no player has a trade clause, because that's how the players union set up this whole thing. There for they should just trade him to the falcons end of subject
Host: Well, like I said, the media states other wise
Caller: Well, everyone in the media is wrong, because no player can have a trade clause

Again, delivery would help animate better the humor in their talk radio. I never thought I would miss listening to a chiefs fan on the radio, but at least they are less retarded, and more realistic. I can say for a fact that I learned something new about myself today, I hate saints fan.

Still can't be worse then some of Art's callers:

Art: Hello Mike, you're on Sportstalk

(long pause)

Mike: Is it me Art?

Art: Yes caller, you're on the air.

Mike: Oh great......so Art, how are things going?

Art: Great....what's on your mind?

Mike: What time do the Cardinals play tonight?

Art: Um.....I think it's 7:15, but lemme check the paper here (as you easily could've done, you dumbass..) Yep, Looks like 7:15.

Mike: Oh. So, who's pitching tonight?

Art: Um....Wainright vs. Oswalt.

Mike: Oh. Ok. Well....I was just calling to see when the Cardinals were playing.

Art: Alright.

Mike: Yeah, sounds like they're playing at 7:15.

Art: Yep.

Mike. Well, anyway, I was just calling to see who was pitching. So......what do you think of the Cardinals this year?

(and on it goes)



I still love Art though

Art is awsome. Here though, it's like Margret is the host and the retarded guy who calls in from time to time is every caller.

My favorite Art moment:

Caller: Well Art,...

Art: Yes,...

Caller: Art, I think those Cardinals are pretty good. And that those Royals are doing better. Those Chiefs and Rams are going to have good seasons. I think those Tigers are going to be good too....

Art: OK.

Caller: Art...Art...one more thing. I want to thank all of those Fellowship of Christian Athletes who prayed for me like I asked last month. Because of their prayers, my food stamps just went up this month.

Art: OK.
