DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Tailgate Forum Goldhammer off the Really big show.

This guy has driven me nuts for years. He hates Cleveland sports. He's a Denver fan for crying out loud.

It's been so bad for me that I litterally have a problem listening. He embodied the knee-jerk demands of the uneducated fan and headline making media that has plagued this franchise for years.

He's now on with Emmett from 3-5.

I gotta think this is a pretty big demotion. What do you think?

It's him testing the waters for getting his own show.

I happen to like him because he brings a different perspective and I think he and Tony have good chemistry... The Ohio State stuff gets absurd but I think he plays that up a bit.

I think Jerod Cherry is a great human being and brings some cool nfl stories but he doesn't add much else as an on-air guy..

I don't get to listen to RBS a ton but I'm gonna miss that combo...

I listen to Ken Carman most nights tho. Maybe the best sports talk show in Cle.

Agree about Jerod. He's a really good guy. Brings an "NFL Insider" type presence to the show. Just in time for the NFL seaon, which is no accident. But his broadcasting skills need major work.

I do agree about the chemistry between Rizzo and Hammer. But only because Hammer was so willing to climb right up inside Rizzo's backside.

I dunno. He rubbed me the wrong way and his "different perspective" developed into an "anti-cleveland" perspective over time.

I will miss his knowledge of ice skating though. That was fantastic.

Jerod is one of the best guys around, but I tend to agree.

Goldhammer wants his own show IMO

But how is 3-5 with Emmett a step towards his own show?

He might look at it like he's "carrying" a show with a lesser personality

Ken Carman is the only guy worth listening to in that town.

I don't mind Goldhammer in the role that he was in. This is going to be a huge step for him, and one that I'm honestly not sure that he is ready for. I listen to RBS sometimes when I'm driving between locations during the day. When Rizzo was off, he was a difficult listen.

KNR is taking such a cheap route right now. They are staffed at bare bones levels, have no young hosts in development. I mean, they went from having Fedor, Burge and Zuppe waiting on roles to adding their producers as on-air talent when a host in out. They have no extra voices to step in. I'm guessing that they've really over-extended themselves on that Browns contract and are cutting any corner that they can. Its a shame.

92.3 is sort of an older-fashioned radio station. They have on-air people leaking out of their pores. Their 20/20 guys do weekends, have Joe Lull waiting in the wings, and have arrangements with pretty much every local TV sports guy to cover spots as well. Its just much better run right now, and that's sad after only being up and running as a sports station for two years now.

j/c:

There is not ONE good radio personality on ESPN Cleveland, IMO. This is like the third time they've shuffled the lineups in just over a year's time. They're trying to polish turds over at the Galleria by switching up people and time slots but it's not paying off.

If they want to get better, they need to blow up the entire thing, start fresh, and give some of the "second string" guys over at 92.3 The Fan a promotion or relocate some reputable radio hosts.

The guys on ESPN Cleveland are absolutely dreadful. All of them. It's amateur hour at that place...

AG uses the Howard Stern method, he bags on Cleveland Teams and Ohio State because it riles people up, gets them to call in and keeps them coming back to see what he will say next.

I thought getting rid of Roda was a bad move. I hate when he talks football because his steeler bias comes into play all the time but he's one of the best basketball guys in town.

You have by far the most interesting and maybe, most popular basketball (if not in all of sports) in your town and you dumped your two best basketball guys (the other being Reghi) to accommodate football. I wonder if they are considering bringing him back...

Not only can ken carman carry his show but kenny kid and Vick Travlablahblah are awesome in support. And he has the best callers. Letting Tuna on the air only because you can backdrop Charles Mansin sound bites? Brilliant.

Leave Reghi right where he is, doing play by play for MAC Conference basketball.

Love when he broadcasts our games. He always comes and hangs around during shoot around and its awesome to sit their and listen to him tell stories. Lat year when Buffalo was in town got to stand there and hear stories from him and Bobby Hurley. All I could do is just stand there and smile.

KING

Can't stand Hammer and have not listened for awhile. Since Hammer is gone I'll give RBS another shot.

Sorry to hear he's not on a plane back to Denver because even though he is a idiot he does have some power. He gets all the other idiots in Cleveland riled up. He wanted Tressel fired for lying but voted for Obama twice. Go figure.
