  • The Problem Is The Host, Not The Network

    Westwood One is not the problem here. Nick Kostos is the problem. He, along with Jim Rome, are essentially the Westwood One equivalent of Mark Zeno, an ESPN Radio host.

    Really hurts your Syracuse credibility.

  • Bring back bets

    Used to be “No hot take BS just bets and sports” and now it’s a hot take talk show. Very sad as an OG listener. Bring back Femi or Locky.
