Does anyone actually enjoy his show. Him and Stu both suck. It's sad that this is the best talent ESPN can find to put on the air. It makes me miss Cowherd. I know some of you listen because you ah e already added hot takes to part of your vocabulary.

Hot take wasn't invented by lebalard. His radio show is fucking stupid though. Im glad he is now doing the early afternoon so I don't have to listen to him on my way home. Unfortunately, Bomani Jones took over his slot, and he sucks ass as well.

The Stu Gotz guy is the most idiotic character and make Le Batard look semi smart.

I don't know when they are on the radio, but I do know when I hear them I immediately change the channel

Almost the same, except I never watch anything besides games. Nothing else on that station is worth shit. Either morons spewing takes or people thinking they're far, far wittier than they actually are trying to fit in a bunch of their personal catchphrases into every highlight they show.

I've been digging the midnight sports center with Scott Van Pelt. He has some good guests and I enjoy the bad beats segment

Our local sports station made the switch over to Fox Sports, so now we get Patrick and Cowherd. Pretty nice!

I don't mind LeBatard, but I do find it hilarious how people are crying for Colin Cowherd now after most bashed him and said how terrible he was. I was always a BIG Cowherd fan.

Cowherd was and is the best radio guy. I imagine the Fox ratings have seen a dramatic spike.

As for ESPN, the late SC with SVP is all that's worth watching. He has turned it into a late night show. It's pretty entertaining.

He's the radio equivalent of a host of internet trolls.

I've always felt like SVP was better than Cowherd but I love both of them. I recorded the first few SVP's and watched them later they were pretty awesome. I just rarely stay up that late anymore.

As for Lebatard he is the worst. I didn't think things could get worse than Gottlieb and then Coachman but Lebatard takes the cake.

He loved him when he was in Miami and slammed all the Cleveland fans for being mad. Then turned around and did the same thing he bitched about when he left. He's an idiot.

Some guys on ESPN radio are hit-or-miss, but LeBatard might just be the worst. He just annoys the hell outta me.

His opinions are terrible, his voice and the show in general are just annoying.

Give me Jim Rome and the Jungle. The smack off is must listen radio each year.

I also like the guy who is on late night ESPN radio I think his name is Michael Smith.

I remember back in the NFL offseason lebelard chastised people for being critical of Aldon Smith's behavior. He told listeners to show some empathy for a human being. Literally the next day on his show he makes fun of Johnny Manziel and his drinking habits... LOLFAIL

Also I agree. Jim Rome has the best Radio show, unfortunately I don't get him here in DC, or I simply can't find him. Russillo/Kanell are second for me. Other than that there is a huge drop off for me.

A good amount of podcasts are just recordings from radio shows.
