Could be, but aren't. ESPN2 was showing some sort of fitness competition. But not in like the normal violent competition that involves a ball or puck. Really weird. Especially in primetime.

No, a scam is having to listen to something called "The Common Man" I'll gladly throw down about $100/year to avoid that.

KFAN in general blows. I can't stand ANY of their personalities. Just a bunch of loud-mouthed, high school dropout, jocks.

I really wish someone would pick up Patrick and Rome (Patrick in particular) sometime soon. The changeover of 690 to a Hmong station was a real heartbreaker. I've been listening to Paul Allen, but in a "this is like reading the Onion" sort of way, so it doesn't really qualify as quality.

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.

Do I have to annotate every reference I make.
Here's the mad man with the box line:

And now the bow ties are cool line.

And yes I'm a geek, but I don't care.

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