I think this whole snow storm nemo or charlotte or whatever the fvck its called is a sign. I was 'sposed to have a quite Saturday day and night alone with the wife, and some time during that update my resume and fill out the paperwork for a town job. Needless to say, kid stayed home, snow blower bust in to flames to spend all day Saturday shoveling, and the emergency work all day yesterday. No resume, no application. FML.

You also lose out on bonus Hampur points for not photgraphing said snow-hurling machine whilst ablaze.

That would have been a hoot. Neighbor across the street saw the whole thing. The look on my face must have been priceless when I pulled the cord to turn the flames on.

Lol

Better luck to you!

I dare you to try and listen to the garbage they call sports radio here in Atlanta. I mean... it's seriously horrendous.

Internet streams for the win.

Ok, I'll give you that. Atlanta is not a good sports town.

That's not true. We get a bad rap for piss poor ownership. Atlanta fans have been crapped on for decades when it comes to bad ownership. But if you wanna talk about Atlanta being a bad sports town, the Falcons are a classic example of Atlanta fans being willing to support a well run organization. Arthur Blank bought the Falcons for an absurd price at the time which caused the NFL to put in a law that wouldn't allow such a deal ever to be made again ($530 Million). They were one of the crappiest teams in terms of fan interest before he bought them. Ever since they have been consistently one of the best attended franchises in the league (#11 last season). The fan interest is about 1000x more palpable among the city than it ever has been.

And when it comes to UGA and college football, yeah it's not even close. They are 90,000 strong for every game in the stadium plus another 40,000 who just show up to tailgate and enjoy the festivities. Granted most of these people are degenerates and bro drunks mixed among 40 somethings who can't let go of their youth and live vicariously through gameday.

Atlanta is a sports town. But when Turner Field is located in the middle of the projects, Phillips Arena is located two blocks from Underground Atlanta and MLK, and there is no transit system in place for 98% of the fans... yeah, they aren't going to be well attended, especially for the weekday sports.

And don't forget that it's one of the most transient cities in America. Most of the sports fans here are fans of their hometown. So if Atlanta is a bad sports town, blame it on the millions of outsiders who have come here and refuse to support any of the hometown teams. In fact, those are the people that make Atlanta a bad sports town. But I digress, it doesn't change the fact that we have horrible sports radio.

He's become unbearable as of late. I like Don La Greca. That's about it. He's always good for a well timed rant which I still can't tell if it's a joke or not. His Mets rant from a few years ago was comedy gold. And then the screaming "ANSWER ME!!!!" bit... lmao.

Bonhomme Richard · 02-11-2013, 11:41 AM

A while back after hearing Francesa alternate between berating a caller, repeating the same line 10 times, breathing loudly into the mic, and lapse into 10 seconds of dead air, I gave Kay a try. That lasted 2 days. He is one of the most sanctimonious blowhards ever to have a radio show. And his shrill delivery is like a cheese grater in my ear canal.

Because I live and work in central NJ, I am in the narrow channel that gets both NY and Philly media outlets on TV and radio. So I started listening to Mike Missanelli now on ESPN Philly during my commute home. Sure, it's heavy on Eagles and Phillies (blegh), but "Mikey Miss" is hilarious. He has a great show. Miles ahead of Francesa's bore-fest.

Missanelli has been around a longtime and has paid his dues. Good guy and enjoys his job.

Steely Dan and now this? LaGreca is radio's equivalent to contagious equine metritis, only with less charisma.

Just stop. Atlanta is the worst PRO sports town in the country. It's not really even close.

Yeah it seems like he was a bit of a douche earlier in his career, but he's matured and learned from his mistakes and really does a good show.

ogay?

The fat doosh just opened his show saying he never said that! Apparently he got killed in the Daily News.

Now, his first caller just ambushed him with a fake Paterno call and nailed him about lying. He's still babbling that he never said it.

Now...his second caller is lambasting him too!

Hilarious.

I never thought that about him, but he had Howard Eskin following him, Eskin is the King of douche.

Why are the Hampur men not making these calls? We could have southside
call in about the Yankees middle relief situation, and then interrupting Fatso in mid-sentence with "Will I ever find love?" .
