He had an edge that made him stand but he tore his azz with a boss one time too many as I recall...and yeah he is probably a shadoow of his former self..in Houston people love news/sports people that stand the test time.. In other markets as you age the<br />door on your career starts to close whereas in Houston you can stay<br />in the box chillin like vintage wine...lolEarlishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17932031229740381323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4067604525757369409.post-62460602686765540412010-10-19T05:31:31.739-05:002010-10-19T05:31:31.739-05:00Sonny Jorgenson...best NFL qb with a beer belly th...Sonny Jorgenson...best NFL qb with a beer belly that ever <br />lived..qb that got the most with what he had was Billy Kilmer.. Not quite as charismatic as the garbage can back Tom Matte<br />talk about a ugly pass lawd Kilmer trew something similar to drunk<br />duck in flight.. Matte had to finish the season at qb one year a real<br />cindyrilla story huh Mike? Ah those were the days..those guys played with passion...Hey Mike who was it that called Matte a garbage can half? I keep thinking Alex Karras but<br />hmmm that may be incorrect..one thing about Matte about garbage can material or not he had enough heart and hustle to play<br />for the mighty Baltimore Colts and get playing time man I<br />use to that love guy...Earlishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17932031229740381323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4067604525757369409.post-84716545599458922652010-10-19T01:52:36.262-05:002010-10-19T01:52:36.262-05:00For Jennifer - Port Arthur,
Please check out Crai...For Jennifer - Port Arthur,<br /><br />Please check out Craig's blog for Monday and then Tuesday and/or Wednesday in which he plans to discuss Barry Lerner,as the guys on 1560 who go up against him in the evening refer to him.<br /><br />I believe that Barry is overrated. I wasn't around here when he was younger, so I don't know what he was like then as a sports talker, but there are loads of people who call in and tell him how much they liked his work. He's a big name dropper meaning he knows about everybody who's anybody in the Houston sports community going back 30 or 40 years or however long he's been here, so he's good at bringing in guests of local interest.<br /><br />I like that he is very opinionated and keeps to sports topics vs. movies, pop culture, hottest Maxim babes, news of the weird, etc. However, I got tired of his act and don't listen to him much anymore, unless I'm in the car or just curious. If you disagree with him and have a good argument, expect to be muted or told that they have to go on to another call or to a commercial. <br /><br />Though he makes a lot of flubs, he does have a background for sports history that old-timers like me do appreciate. However, there is no need for hosts to be arrogant, obnoxious, egotistical, etc, as we've said here many times before.<br /><br />Program directors don't care if hosts make mistakes or misinform,as it's just sports and not war, surgery, finance, or more important things like that. Just as long as they keep the show moving at a good pace, get intersting calls, and ratings are respectable and they suck up to the boss and don't ruffle any feathers, they will have a job, barring downsizing or budget cuts.<br /><br />The only way listeners who are displeased with any of these guys can show how they feel is either to not listen to them or minimize listening time.<br /><br />My question here is if he was so good at his job as many say, why wasn't he on the air for over a decade, unless I missed something.<br /><br />Mike in DAHMWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15784843434399640539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4067604525757369409.post-15910335911626888522010-10-19T01:52:35.589-05:002010-10-19T01:52:35.589-05:00For Jennifer - Port Arthur,

The guy is constantly corrected on air. He said that Kubiak did not listen to the radio but then he opens the show the following day by saying they (Texans) did not like how critical he was being towards them. He will run from the callers that have him on the ropes and i wouldn't be surprise if some beat him up with that negative persona.Jennifer - Port Authurnoreply@blogger.com
