Which sports radio station do you prefer? I have been listening to 610 the Fan most of the day at work, and am wondering if there is anything better out there? I use my droid to pick up the station so I assume it can get all the other ones.

I am such a fan of Steve Czaban's national show. I get it on XM 208 and I download the podcast for the parts that I miss. The guy has smartest and funniest takes on sport. Nobody even compares to him. I was laughing my ass off today when he was calling Stevie Williams a "bag monkey." Just one of those guys I wished had stayed in Charlotte.

Sometimes 730 can be ok, Esp if your a nascar fan. They have some Panther talk but its not as good as 610

730 became ESPN today and some stuff got changed around...

http://www.allaccess.com/net-news/archive/story/94613/wzgv-charlotte-picks-up-espn-radio-affiliation

The move, effective next MONDAY (8/8), will clear ESPN's "MIKE AND MIKE IN THE MORNING," "THE HERD WITH COLIN COWHERD," and "THE SCOTT VAN PELT SHOW" in the market, moving BILL ROSINSKI's local "THE BOTTOM LINE" from mornings 8-10a to afternoons on WZGV, with ROSINSKI hosting MONDAY through WEDNESDAY, GM LANNY FORD hosting THURSDAYs, and guest hosts on FRIDAYs. "THE BOTTOM LINE" will replace the local "STRICTLY SPORTS" in afternoons, with hosts TONY RIZZUTI and MIKE PACHECO remaining on board as contributors.

I "discovered" Czban when I was in sales on the road alot in the mid 90's. Back when he was I think in Chicago on Sporting News.

Oddly, he had his sound effects machine that he brought to Charlotte and the extra irony is he would have this Golf roundtable and Gary Williams would come on the show.

Then GW ends up with his own show in Charlotte and gets the machine.

Barely listen anymore.

I know Gary is a big fan of Czaban. I email him about getting Czaban's show on, when the MSP went on vacation, instead of Mike & Mike. He said that he loved Steve's show and if it were up to him he would make it happen.

Use to love 610 but now its nothing but a tarheel slob fest.

garbage since pacman left.

It was garbage even before he left! When they started shuffling everyone around is when they ruined it!

There's a book entitled, "If it ain't broke, break it!" In this case they should have left it well enough alone.

No wonder they made their other station all news! Charlotte really couldn't support 2 sports stations.

Pacman's whiner line was just, Duke sux, Carolina sux, Duke sux on and on! 1/2 the guys they had on with Pac were terrible. I still don't know what Kilgo (sp) ever contributed.

Do we really expect a good sports station in this town when we have the worst newspaper coverage of sports of any major metro area? Rock Hill Herald and Gaston Gazette cover NASCAR better. And the Observer's coverage of the Panther's and Bobcats are almost non-existent!

All the Observer is, is cut and paste from the AP & UPI! I'm not sure they even have a real reporter any longer.

Same way with FNZ. Yea, they bring the same ol' retired players in and ask them the same ol' questions. Not one of them ever went out and broke a story! That would be too much like, oh, I don't know, JOURNALISM! GOD FORBID THAT!!!

Most of these guys were just about one step above playing records.

    • If Canales has helped Bryce a “poo ton” and this is what we have then what’s the fuging point? And the offense wasn’t humming with Dalton in there either, except against the raiders who’ll likely be firing their coach after this season.  XL is probably the fourth best looking receiving option on the team right now behind thielen, Coker, and sanders. I don’t think anyone would disagree with that. Who cares about total receiving yards when everyone else has missed time and there’s like 180 yards of receiving a game.  and lmao they were “believing” shut the fug up. They lost and for the most part those games were all the defense shutting down the other team. The chiefs turned around and gave up an actual impressive stat line to Aiden O’Connell and I not even the most delusional raiders fans think that means anything. Bryce did nothing against the eagles, the Bucs are a mash unit, and any one of us could have done that Bryce did against the giants and saints.  And as far as who they’d get, they didn’t have any trouble hiring the guy you’re tripping over yourself to defend. They also could have hired Dan Quinn, who’s actually succeeding with a young qb.  And people are acting like the risk of getting paid for not working for five years is a negative. Canales is going to spend the next half a decade getting paid to watch porn in his Bible camp office.
    • the Dallas game definitely quelled the hype. his biggest issue will always be his size, and that shows when he gets sacked. he's simply not big or strong enough to protect the ball. even in the KC game, he fumbled it on a basic sack and thank god icky landed on it. INT's are going to happen, most fans don't understand that tipped balls and wrong routes account for most interceptions. but the wet-bar-of-soap type fumbles upon contact are a huge reg flag. the common theme with players like Darnold and Mayfield who previously played for us and are now excelling makes me want to practice patience more when it comes to the QB position. I think Bryce bought himself another season, perhaps with more weapons. I do like the idea of adding a QB whether that's a FA or mid round rookie. if the same mistakes occur next season and we see no further growth or most importantly, wins, then it will be time to move on. just a quick reminder though, football is not an individual sport. QB is just one position, albeit the most important. 
    • There's some big assumptions in here - first, I think Canales HAS helped Bryce a poo ton. To pretend he hasn't is asinine. Has he fixed him?  I mean, the dude looks like he could perhaps be a backup or low-end starter now, whereas he looked like he didn't belong in the NFL a year ago. You're talking about a coach that brought one of the worst NFL QBs of all time to a point where he may actually be a low-end starter. That IS impressive. Second, the bolded. Come on - given the offense, the dude is far from "trending towards bust." He definitely needs work but he's shown an impressive ability to get open. He's contributing to an anemic offense. The dude is our leading receiver (though he'll be #2 in yardage by end of season by a little, as Thielen does better per game).  As to his coaching, he had this team competing and believing against 3 of the better teams in the NFL, despite the lack of talent, and despite our QB situation.  Yes, things fell apart vs DAL, and he was outcoached. But that will happen with young coaches IMO.  I don't think it indicates he cant' be better. The idea of "pulling off the bandage" is ridiculous. Who would want to coach here if we fired this guy after one season?
