    Who is buying this, “you are my co-hosts” b.s.? Just listen to him greet callers, he reeks disingenuous, he’s a terrible actor. The wally head Kay is an enigma. Just as he’s never had a condiment, no piece of clothing has ever looked good on him. It’s amazing. An arrogant buffoon talk show host, a mediocre play by play guy, but somehow a tremendous interviewer (Center Stage). “Mike. How many times do I gotta tell ya. Stop wearing my sister Donna’s sweaters. You’re stretching’ out the shou... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Hour 1: Howie Rose
Q: What was the feeling in the booth when the Piazza home run happened?
The call was measured and respectful, with the understanding that the moment was not just about a baseball hit but about a city healing; the crowd's energy and the broadcast's tone reflected that significance.
Hour 1: Volpe Returns
Q: What happens if Volpe hits well but Jazz returns and is healthy?
The host suggests a flexible plan where Volpe could see time against left-handers and Jazz could be used against right-handers, with the bigger decision possibly favoring Jazz if he returns to form, while Volpe remains a strong option for second base long-term.
Hour 1: Chris Simms and Paul Finebaum
Q: What is the latest on Deshaun Watson's role for the Browns this season?
Chris Simms explains there was a quarterback competition in preseason, with Shador Sanders impressing, but ultimately Deshaun Watson appears to remain the starter, though there's ongoing debate about who should start as the season progresses.
Hour 1: Trade defense for offense?
Q: What was your take on the Kawhi Leonard salary-cap case and its implications for the NBA?
The hosts highlighted that it's a high-stakes, complex issue with potential penalties and that the league is scrutinizing whether sponsorship connections violated rules, suggesting the outcome could set broader precedents for team governance and penalties.
Hour 2: Joe Schoen
Q: What is going through your mind when you see a key player like Jaxson Dart get hit and go to the tent?
Schoen said health and safety come first, and there is a lot of concern, but he trusts the medical team and believes the hit needs to be assessed pragmatically, focusing on Dart's long-term health and the team's needs.
