Seems like there are just a ton [View all]

of these sports "analysis/argument" programs and everybody and their brother seems to have a podcast these days. But so much is drivel. I miss the days in the '90's listening at night to Papa Joe Chevalier on his show and when ESPN had The Fabulous Sports Babe on radio. Even Chet Coppock wasn't too bad. The programs used to focus more on hearing from fans calling in on topics and they talked more about the nuts and bolts of actually playing the various sports and less about this constant chatter about contracts, money and armchair psychoanalysis about the personal lives of the athletes.

The worst to me is when they have on 3 or 4 people at the same time and everybody is shouting and yelling over each other all the time. Or on some of these podcasts these people think they're all supposed to be comedians. What a shambles sports media has become.
