At first I was like and then I realized it was a mistake and we didn't actually get the name back.

Smith and Skip Bayless agree -Rachel Nichols gets braces -Tebow’s romantic relationship with Mark Sanchez is mentioned"

steve berthiaume and john kruk literally just spent 10 minutes talking about todd helton's foot being off the bag at the end of the rockies/phillies game. repeated the same thing 15 times.

my morning routine the last week on the way to work:

1) Tune into 99.9 the fan
2) Hear Mike and Mike argue about whether or not the Thunder are done and why Lebron is unfairly hated
3) Immediately tune into 570am Comedy Radio


you would think there isnt a single sport going on right now besides the NBA Finals.

6/21/2012 8:22:53 AM

sounds pretty typical. Mike & Mike will talk NBA draft and NFL minicamps before they ever talk summer baseball, olympics, eurocup, or anything else.

your first mistake is listening to sports radio.

6/21/2012 8:48:52 AM

As soon as the NBA Finals are over it's going to be 24/7 of:

you're right. Too bad the regular radio in Raleigh is horrible. Thats why I mostly listen to 24/7 comedy radio now

and before the XM people chime in, I drive my work truck during the week. Its a nice truck but it only has am/fm radio - no CD player or AUX jack. I didnt realize they still make vehicles with only am/fm radio

Slow pitch softball action on ESPN2. The USA futures team beating the present USA team 29-10 in the 5th.

6/27/2012 9:13:53 PM

wait... there's a national team for slow-pitch softball? AND a futures team?

6/27/2012 9:20:40 PM

Damn right there is. Team USA plays Canada Saturday in "Border Battle IV." Some guy just hit a homerun off a building's air conditioning unit behind the stadium fence.

6/27/2012 9:29:05 PM

this announcer is convinced that every batter is "trying to hit the gap." it's rare that the male announcer is worse than the pam-ward-esque announcer. is that actually pam ward?

6/27/2012 9:37:29 PM

I think it's Beth Mullins, or something like that. I think Pam is the catcher tonight for Team USA.

6/27/2012 10:07:31 PM

Bobby Lutz used to be their color commentator for men's softball

please tell me they have to chug a beer at every base at least.

6/30/2012 6:59:37 PM

It's pretty funny. It's a bunch of juiced guys playing with metal bats. They cap home runs so you can only hit so many a game before they start counting as outs. There was a former football player from Wake on the team last year.

Is this the first Olympics without women's softball or did that start a while back?

^ drive by media. No real stories, just sources and rumors.

ESPN sucks donkey balls. Will barely even talk about the Olympics since they aren't covering them.

X GAMESZ BRO

7/3/2012 10:04:52 AM

The olympics thing is somewhat understandable given they are only allowed to show X minutes of highlights, probably across the whole network, so it makes it hard to talk about if you can't roll B-roll of it
