Radio host:...Okay now let's go to Randy in Kannapolis...Hi Randy you're on the air..

Caller: < long pause...heavy mouth breathing> ...Hey...this is Randy... thanks fer taking my call. Wut jersey is tha panthers wearin'? I heerd it wuz the black ones. Someone also says theys wearin' the double naught secret black helmits. You hear anything 'bout that?

Is it just me or does every caller the programs choose to put on the air sound like they struggle to complete a coherent sentence much less pose a question or comment worthy of discussion?

60-70% of the time wfnz is purely comedic entertainment value. There is only so much sports to go around and each show just rehashes the previous topics. I only listen during the nfl season and like to hear the opinions of the panther players past and present.

I don't understand why a person who likes the panthers enough to call in after the games would be so stupid, I mean if you are interested in the panthers enough to call and discuss the panthers I think you would at least be well informed enough to ask a decent question

thank god for the huddle, none of my friends enjoy the panthers enough to talk discussion unless they are doing well, or if they are, they are so uninformed it's no fun to talk because i don't want to sound like a know-it-all, it feels good to have a place to discuss such matters

Disagree. Other stations' shows manage just fine.

Probably about the only thing I miss about Ohio is that their sports radio was actually about sports, not the on air personalities making idiots of themselves.

WFNZ isn't "comedic". It's pathetic. Very little of what they put on the air is actually funny. It's just ignorant.

Morning Sports Page is about the only program I've heard that's worth anything. They could fire the entire bunch that mans the rest of the shows (including Packer) and hire complete radio amateurs without losing any program quality. It's that bad.

As to the reason why the callers are predominantly idiots, it's because that's what the shows encourage. There are plenty of knowledgeable sports fans out there, but the shows look for the callers that make the biggest morons of themselves instead. What's even more pathetic is these guys actually seem to think being on the radio and acting like a jackass makes them somehow "famous" :rolleyes:

Outside of the interviews with actual athletes, the station is largely worthless (and even some of those are done so badly it's almost embarrassing).

They have been on the air for awhile. there must be a reason for their success because they are still on the air. It not the bible for sports but its ok to keep a pulse on the local sports if you dont get the paper or sirius radio.

I use to listen to Pete Franklin on WWWE as a kid in Ohio. Everything else pales in comparison.

      Snow in the high country

      By rayzor · Posted

      i think i go in the opposite direction of most. my ideal retirement is living in some old downtown area in a flat above some shop or something.  life out in the country was just something i got real tired of. My kids actually miss some of living out there, which i understand. that was where they grew up for the most part. 40 acres with a 2.5 acre pond. it was beautiful, but also way too much (and too expensive) for me to keep up with.

      FLASHBACK: I remember back when ESPN was just starting--he was their anchor.  They used to show stuff like Rodeo and field hockey--I remember laughing when he went to a commercial mocking a cycling competition in Utah (or something similar--I made that up) and I laughed.  I told my dad, "We may have us a new anchor when we get back from commercial."  When they came back from commercial, Berman was looking very serious and he said, "Any comments by me do not reflect the views of ESPN....The men and women who cycle are dedicated athletes and we are honored to shine light on their sport." (Paraphrasing).  Dad laughed hysterically. My first memory of him--and that was like 1980.

      Might not have a team without them. Although that probably applies to the Panthers, too.
