Description: a topic on sports radio

So the other day I listened to sports radio while I was working. Let me just say I couldn't hardly stand it. It's one guy with a mic ranting for hours on end. With dramatic pause of course.
He somehow managed to say that Cleveland not making the playoffs would lead Lebron James to go elsewhere, and turned that into somehow talking about Shaq leaving Miami to play with Lebron.
He also ranted for 20 minutes about Gary Sheffield not getting punished. Because.....he's a ball player......He has a responsibility.....to the fans and to MLB to not react.......But he did, so he needs to be punished. (mind you, I don't disagree, but it's mostly the way he argued.)
I then thought how easy wrestling has it that the only kind of exposure wrestling has to worry about is the internet, as regular sports have TV, Radio, books and the internet. Lucky Vince, eh?

This guy sounds like a complete moron. It would be like giving me 5 hours to fill a day, and rambling on endlessly for 4 hours and 45 minutes of it.
The plus for Wrestlings little exposure on real TV: It doesn't get idiots like this to bitch.
The negative for Wrestlings little exposure on real TV: It doesn't bring in fans who might actually consider watching.

The worst part is he sounds better than 90% of the idiots on ESPN now.

He's WAY better than Stephen A. Smith or Skip Bayless, mostly because he maintains a consistent tone of voice.

Who isn't an idiot on ESPN? I can't stomach baseball tonight, the Sports Center crew is annoying, and Chris Berman is the most annoying motherfucker since Jim Ross in the "trademark phrases" department.

Normally I read articles on the website instead of watching it, though I can't even escape Bayless then. He's a complete tool, and part of me hopes Terrell Owens take him up on his offer and beats the shit out of him on live TV. That'd make my day.

I rarely if ever watch ESPN anymore. I even find ESPNews and their game announcers to be insufferable anymore.
