    Trying to figure out who the best exerciser is ranks right up there with the spelling bee on the terrible sports list.

            Common is actually better than his promos make it seem. I swear they pick the worst possible clips to use in those. I used to not like Rome and still find JRIB rather bland so I rarely, if ever watch it, but the radio Rome is a whole different deal. He interviews well and is probably at his best when he's on some kick over one of his "Guys" or something like his "Don't Mess With A Gaucho" bit. If you get the act and take it for what it is I think he can be pretty entertaining.

            Maybe an odd comparison, but it seems to me that Rome is sort of like Limbaugh. Almost like you have to listen for an extended period before you get the full act. From there it can be entertaining, but without it I can see how nothing makes much sense.

            The grand point with all this is that Paul Allen remains an unprofessional hack.

              I get Rome. Hate him.

              PA? He's fallen. He really needs a quality 2nd banana. I do like listening to him rather than Senser, Sonmor, etc (NOT GORDON) for sports.

                    At least PA is good for the occasional hilarious call from a Vikings game. "Why do you even ponder passing? ..."

                    BRING BACK PAT RICHTER!!!

                    At his graduation ceremony from the U of Minnesota, my cousin got a keychain. When asked what UW gave her for graduation, my sister said, "A degree from a University that matters."

                              No way I'm paying for radio. I'd rather listen to songs on the GPS via FM.

                                In the Twin Cities, the KQ Morning Crew (classic rock station) are the one and only morning radio, if you look at ratings. I listen to them, unless there's a song or ads, then it's the hard rock station 93X. Between those two, I enjoy my morning commute (that is about 10 minutes). Other times? It's a cd.
