    Packpride said he had sent it in like 2 weeks ago and has no mention of it today, positive or negative.

    I don’t have that big of a problem with Gold. The other guys should kind of bring him along in the broadcast if he starts to slow down like usual.

    I really don’t care what they do as long as they keep JT the Brick on at nights.

    We just recently picked up Packman here in Wilmington. I haven’t given him months of time but I think the show is pretty lame on the whole.

    Specifically, the whiner line is the biggest waste of airtime I’ve ever heard on sports radio. That they feel the need to play it multiple times on EVERY show is just baffling. I’m also not a fan of the 4-5 guys in the studio concept as it more often results in a bunch of gaffawing than in any substantive debate. On the plus side, I do like the way Packman will give a caller real time and establish a dialogue. I also think he gets some decent guests at times.

    On the whole, the Wilimington sports-related PM drive time has suffered terribly since the demise of Kaselius’ Sports Bash (first by AM-630’s sub of really mediocre local stuff and then by Kaselius moving to NASCAR). The few times I’ve heard the post-Kaselius Sports Bash with Seibel, it’s been awful. John Seibel always gives you non-stop, stacato monologue. How he’s become a 1st stand-in for ESPN radio (incl M&M in the mornings on occasion), I’ll never know.

    I don’t like John Seibel either. The Sports Bash was pretty good.

    I’m starting to like Steve Czaban on FSR more and more. He’s been all over the Vick/Dog fighting story recently.

    Kaselius is ok… as long as you dont have to look at him. I dont really get the chance to listen to the radio much, so the only sports radio I ever hear is M&M on ESPN2. I hate when Kaselius is on… he just looks too sneaky I guess. Although he isnt all that funny I like it when Mark Schlereth sits in… he is one of the only ESPN commentators that dosnt seem to be very arrogant and backs up his opinions with educated commentary.

    “I’ve listened to him…maybe a dozen times. I’ve never heard him say anything remotely interesting. I’ve never any insight, any wisdom”

    “I think the guys on the show are more interested in themselves than really analyzing any sports issue”

    This can be said about any sports radio show, and i dont need to hear what their insights are, i can form my own opion. They are on the radio for entertainment, and i find them entertaining.

    At least packer actually gets real sports celebrities to interview. I would rather hear from boo weakley(sp?), or Dale Jr. or Steve Smith, than gregg doyle or some other jerk off writer who gold has on all the time.

    What is “Boo Weakly?”

    PGA Tour Pro from FLorida, won the tourney in hilton head, hilarious dude, great interview.

    Hmm…okay, I’ll add that to my list of reasons why I don’t like his show.

    (to each his or her own, of course)

    “how everyone who doesnt agree with him doesnt know what they are talking about. kinda like cedar”

    “Bad news: No LOI from Tracy Smith”

    Smith has signed his LOI. Waiting on final grades.

    I think we’re going to keep waiting…………..let’s hope he’s got some good tutors helping him out. He’ll be a good addition.

    “Bad news: No LOI from Tracy Smith”

    Maybe there is no LOI from Smith, but that is a BIG LOL from you there Cedar.

    Ol’ Cedar boy, you more than fill the big void that Wolfpack4ever left behind.
