Isn't that American sports talk in a nutshell though? Everything trending to the argumentative grandstanding and "hot takes". That's essentially the reason Jay & Dan got axed from fox sports; nobody appreciated their creative, humerous approach. Not enough yelling.
I also used to enjoy Rome back when 960 first started but now I can take or leave it.
As for Richards, that ship has sailed. Enjoyed his time on my radio but always got the Impression Calgary was a stopover until he got back to the big smoke. We've all moved on since then. Current guys have their flaws but you can't deny they have hit their stride and have a consistent product.
