I've been a daily listener to A.M. 710 "the Fan" since my sophomore year, so when I heard KFAN was being replaced by ESPN Radio I was less than pleased. I love the Common Man noon-to-two, hell I've listened to him every single lunch for the past two years. Cory Cove a.k.a. "Sludge" is the single reason I've ever wanted to go into journalism. The Power Trip morning show is freaking ace. Honestly, I would do just about anything to get the Fan back in Bis-Man.
It could have been worse, though, had they
replaced it with FOX Sports Radio. FOX radio actively makes you an idiot. I've listened to far more sports talk radio than I'm proud of, and I've yet to hear a more obnoxious person than "J.T. the Brick." JT is the man pictured, and the whole point of his show is to listen to opinions of his thousands of drunk/borderline retarded fans that are encouraged by Brick to "come hard." Now, if you ever have the urge to "come hard," here's what you do:1. Yell into the phone
Yep, that's all there is to it. Actual content of opinion is irrelevant to Brick, who got his start being one of those loudmouth callers on Jim Rome. Yeah, not by putting in time by maybe interning and getting coffee, because hard work is for losers. He's the Taylor Hicks of sports radio.
But I digress...
I've actually enjoyed listening to Mike & Mike in the Morning and The Dan Patrick Show. You'd never hear a David Stern interview on the Fan. At the same time, I really don't care about who QB's the Dolphins next year. This is where national radio can't compete with local radio. PA and Dubay weren't afraid to talk NDSU basketball or UND Hockey. You can listen to ESPN for years and not hear the letters NDSU.
My favorite show, Sludge and Lake, was never on here in Bismarck, anyway. I listened to it online, right now, in fact. 7-to-9 at KFAN.com. I'd recommend it if your into that, a self-described mix of Conan O'Brien and Sportscenter. It's hilarious and isn't entirely about sports, the official show of me. If this post bored you to tears, than don't bother.
Here's a link of a highlight of the show for your listening pleasure:http://a1135.g.akamai.net/f/1135/18227/1h/cchannel.download.akamai.com/18227/podcast/MINNEAPOLIS-MN/KFAN-AM/SL041607_CLUBRANT.mp3?CPROG=PCAST&MARKET=MINNEAPOLIS-MN&NG_FORMAT=sports&SITE_ID=612&STATION_ID=KFAN-AM&PCAST_AUTHOR=KFAN_AM_1130&PCAST_CAT=Sports_Radio&PCAST_TITLE=Sludge_%26_Lake_-_KFAN_AM_1130
