He goes out of his way to make ridiculous comments just to get people hot. He's just terrible. I don't care if he's bashing Cleveland or repping them. He's a horrible radio guy. There are plenty of people that aren't homer's that I love. Plus there are homer's that I hate (munch, rizzo). The Fan has out of towners that are great at giving realistic opinions without sounding like jackasses(fedor, hammer). I listened to KNR purely because there wasn't another alternative. Thankfully there is now and it's causing them to panic and change their entire line-up.

92.3 was a solid music station. I was pissed when I came back from Columbus and found out they switched it to sports talk. Keep that shit on AM.

hooley was terriable... i hated when he would point out how bad different baseball managers used their bench / pitching staff when they were making changes that would lead to 3 up 3 down in the 7th 8th and 9th but bc it wasnt his way it was wrong.

Neff his replacement is even worse

No, because HD radio is a gimmick that failed miserably at competing with satellite radio.

Dont kill the messenger. :)

I've never used an HD radio before so I don't have an opinion on it being useful or not, but when they first came out, I didn't see it ever becoming much of a competition for sat radio.

The Really Big show had Jackie the Joke Man on today. Hilarious.

Haven't listened to KNR since The Fan came on. It's so nice to not hear those blowhards anymore.

I just wish Booms would STFU once in awhile and not yell over the callers to get his point across.

I hated Booms when I first started listening, but I have come around recently. He makes good points some of the time. Biggest problem with that station is the signal. I can barely get it in Akron, on my commute from Cleveland to Akron. In Warren, it is non existent.
