OT: New Mid Day Guys On Jox...

  • Just listened to a few minutes of the new Douche Rockets on the Mid Day show. It reminds me a little of listening to the SNL "Shweaty Ballz" sketch but without the funniness.

    Agreed. They are "Milk toast" middle of the road. I cannot BELIEVE the moron(s) that hired them and brought them in from DALLAS. No telling how much money they got paid. I detect virtually no talent. And yes, I've given 'em about 2 weeks of trying to listen every day. So far, less than impressive, at least when I'm not sleeping listening to them...

  • yup, they're not very fun to listen to right now. you can tell they're "foreigners". wish they would just replay the roundtable. not to say they can't live here for a year, get into it and adjust. but i don't want to have to take it while/if they make the transition.

  • I don't mind them. After reading this board for a few years I've decided that Alabama fans are 100% impossible to keep happy when it comes to radio. Besides a few positive words about the round table nobody ever says anything good about terrestrial sports radio on here. The only one that makes my ears bleed is jay barker....because he is an idiot. RTR

  • They could have signed Doug Bell and Scott Moore and had a great show and instead they signed these 2 new douchers and we are stuck with no midday show worth a crap....Jox is run by idiots

    agreed on bama fans hating on radio, but this show is just so boring. and the guy thought the habanero was the hottest pepper and claimed to not know half the acts at the grammy's, which is a popularity contest. i'm struggling to relate to him. seems to like to hear himself talk a bit too much. and for the record i listen to rick&bubba and finebaum and enjoy it very much.

    My expectations are never high for Birmingham radio. I enjoy finebaum for the entertainment value but not sports information. I remember when Rick and Bubba were really good...before they stopped the 13 days of horror and started tripping about harry potter because it didn't align with their religious beliefs. They were fun, now they are a joke imo.

    Wait...what did the fat people have to do with the "13 days of horror"? I LOVED those "minifests"...

    One of my favorite radio bits ever. Speedy,"donjuan" demarco, and Casio kid on ghost investigations ending with D in tears most of the time. Hilarious.

  • I like the show. They are not the funniest guy and they laugh at their own jokes a little too much. However they do a lot of research for their show. Today they were whipping out information on Alabama and Auburn From 2, 3,4 years ago specific players and information and was impressive just to listen to a well-prepared show.

    I can't find anything about them that would warrant calling them douches.

    They also seem to have adopted alabama as their team of preference which I enjoy.

    The price of victory is high, but so are the rewards.

  • I have to disagree with most of you. I have been very impressed with the new guys and the research they put into every show. They actually talk sports and are very knowledgeable. The Opening Drive absolutely drives me crazy...when Barker talks sports and Bama, he's usually wrong. Give them a chance! The only negative is the name of their show.

    I do agree in that today, they did sound pretty informed, and I respect what I heard from them. At least they actually went to the game in T-town last night---which I also respect---and it does seem like they're "trying".

    Right now, though, they are VERY boring to listen to, and I'm really getting nothing from the show that I can't live without...

    Correct, The Opening Drive is by the far worst quality radio show I've ever heard and I've lived all over the southeast. I don't even mind Barker, it's the other two, especially Tony that makes me want to pour cement in my ears/ blow up my car radio.

    Not entertaining, don't know anything about sports and are even wrong about UA/AU often, its just opinionated BS, opnions that mean absolutely nothing.

    Man that grammar sucks but not as bad as that show.
