Love the show--it's basically ruined regular sports radio for me. I don't watch Highly Questionable as much but the radio show is great, Stugotz is such a charming idiot.

LeBatard is fantastic. He's completely transparent and level-headed in an age where everyone overreacts for ratings. There's no ploys, it's just subject matter intelligently discussed for a while. Which is the antithesis of anything BS sports "journalists" put out today. And that includes 95% of the print media too, who are thirsty for clicks in their dying medium. AND he's fun, and he'll do silly shit like the billboard. He doesn't take himself too seriously. It's laid-back, unlike the hoity toity Sports Reporters, and still gives you things to ponder.

I never listen to the radio between 10-12 or I'd listen to Le Batard's show more. But I love Highly Questionable because Dan and Bomani seem like they have a lot of fun putting the show on, and of course, there's Papi. It's such a refreshing show compared to ESPN's other shows which are either Hot Take Central (First Take, Around the Horn), forced, unfunny humor and passive-aggressive jabs at each other (SportsNation), or two crankly old men who hate anyone under the age of 35 (Pardon the Interruption).

I think the Dan Patrick Show is the best but Le Batard's is really enjoyable as well. I love Highly Questionable and it's what got me to check out the radio show.

But yeah, I love listening to his show because he doesn't get caught up in any "hot take" bullshit and is even self aware when it comes to how the media is quick to jump the bandwagon with his Parade of Gasbags.

This made me enjoy Dan LeBatard finally and I now find him to be a lovable numbskull. I especially enjoyed Stugotz getting the lie detector on yesterday's show. I make sure to listen to it whenever I can now.
It's such a breath of fresh air compared to what used to be on the 10AM to 1PM timeslot on ESPN Radio.

Sports radio (well, talk radio in general) is mostly trash and barely listenable. I genuinely think Le Batard and Bomani are the best in the business by a country mile.

Max Kellerman kills SportsNation for me, because he doesn't seem to understand any sports other than boxing. Hearing him talk about basketball drives me crazy. Beadle's alright for what she does,Marcellus is pretty good but he needs a dancing partner and Max just seems to shrivel up when it comes to the banter.

SportsNation is terrible. The premise is ridiculously bad, and just shows you how dumb the GenPop is. They also just seem to throw the leftover "personalities" on there. Wiles is likeable I guess, but not particularly entertaining or insightful. And he's the best of that show.

Everyone except for the special guests is terrible on SportsNation. I used to like Michelle Beadle, but maybe it was because she wasn't nearly as bad as Colin Cowherd.

Now it's a shame that Dan and Stugotz are on vacation this week because I would've loved to hear some Stugotz hot takes on the Dwyane Wade/Heat split.

Every time I watch the show, I can't help but look at Stugotz and wonder if he does cocaine or something. The dude looks strung out at times.

Mike Ryan their producer is just as funny as Dan and Stu. The bit where he read Yelp Reviews of Sea World in the voice of the local Miami Hurricanes broadcaster (don't recall his name) had me rolling.

Today Dan sounded he is ready to quit I didn't listen to it today, but I did read the AwfulAnnouncing article. That's BS. ESPN's website has been pimping this election for months. And lord knows that company has exploited worse things for ratings. For LeBatarx, it's not about trying to be a lightning rod for ratings. It's about being interesting to his niche audience and talking about what everyone else is talking about. It seems like a very arbitrary line to draw for a network where morals and lines seem to almost never be drawn, especially as it pertains to the new guard of post-Disney takeover.
