  • Stop encouraging piracy

    How can a highly visible show in a major market allow their producers to constantly brag about all of the movies and pay per view events they constantly steal? And you’d think there’d be an FCC rule against asking listeners to directly send you money, but apparently not.

    And Maher is the new Awadd. Same forced persona, trying to impress the Junkies.

  • No sports talk!!

    I know it’s in your name but I’ve heard you all not talk sports and that’s when I love the junkies the most!! Please quit talking so much sports!! No one cares about the Commanders!! Even if we do they win or they lose. No need to talk about it over and over! Let’s talk about Lurch’s daughters or EB getting yelled at by his wife or Cakes sex life or JPs coaching!! So many more better topics!!

Best of the Capitals on 106.7 The Fan/Team 980: Spencer Carbery & Chris Patrick on the Playoff Push
Q: What was the primary rationale behind trading John Carlson at the deadline?

Jerry Palm Previews March Madness
Q: Jerry, were you surprised that Purdue's run through the tournament after they dropped four of their last six in the regular season? And how do you think they fare as a two seed in the tournament?
Palm explains that Purdue has grit and has shown the ability to peak when needed, emphasizing that their path depends on matchups and the health of key players, but he believes they are capable of making a deep run depending on the bracket.

Full Show - USA Keeps Cooking!
Q: Jerry, which region do you think has the most potential for upsets this year?
Palm suggested that almost any top-five seed could be toppled in a tough region, but he emphasized that strong non-conference performance and consistency across the season usually separate the contenders from the pretenders; he highlighted Michigan and Arizona as intriguing deep runs, with Duke or Purdue as potential sleepers depending on injuries and matchups.
