Richards is great for the first few years but then it starts to get really old. He's been in Toronto long enough and now he needs to go to another market where he is new again.

I really like listening to the afternoon show far more than the morning show. Can't believe there is this much hate for Kerr and Steinberg. I worked in radio and love the in jokes. I think they are a good team and didn't appreciate Steinberg when he first started years ago but he has greatly improved since then. I'd take them over the morning crew any day of the week.

Rob Kerr is the ABSOLUTE WORST. Everytime I hear his voice I want to punch him in the face through my radio.

at least we don't have to view his ill fitting suits on Flames TV anymore

Kerr is the best Hockey broadcaster in Calgary.

Rhett is an idiot.

He has zero insight into the game.

I don't care what he ate / is eating.

Send him back to the pig farm he came from.

Maybe it's just me, but I love how he's a goof. He would be a guy i would love to have a beer with.

Yup, that's part of Rhettro's charm. Dude would be a blast to have a drink with. I think he's the one that makes the morning shows TBH. It really drags during the summer months when he's not there.

Rhett and Boomer is adequate - but I have to agree Mike Richards was off side on too many things. There was a lot I liked (Bob Cole chick's I like) but he came off as a very creepy guy around the ladies.
Moments of Jim Rome are okay, but his subject matter (NBA and NFL) are often not interesting to me, and honestly listening to him interview NBA and NFL players is painful.
Kerr and McLovin are really good. They cover the subject matter I enjoy and have a decent rapport.
I'd like a better evening option than Bob McStickuphisbut.

Morning show great, I never miss it. It's piss poor throughout the Summer though.

Jim Rome show is horrendous, I gave up listening to that crap years ago.

Steinberg and Kerr are alright. Kerr has a tendency to interrupt everything Steinberg says and it's annoying.

I agree with the sentiment that Pinder and Steinberg would be a better combo. Give Kerr a solo show to replace the Rome hours and they'd be golden.

Oh, and Mike Richards was frickin' awful.

I think Boomer, Rhett and Pinder do a good job. They have a good dynamic, and I think their shenanigans keep things interesting.

Richards was also pretty funny. However, like others have said, it did get old after a few years.

Pat and Kerr are good because they have actual in depth hockey conversations. The problem with Kerr is that he often (annoyingly) repeats himself to get his point across.
Steinbergh can be a bit boring, I think that's his shtick. If you want amusement, want the morning show.

I can't stand Jim Rome. But he does get the big names, so I'll listen for them once in awhile.

Pat is pretty good, and I enjoy listening to Overtime. That said, I miss Rob Kerr doing Overtime. Always used to get a kick out of the guys who would call in late at night just to swear and mouth off Kerr. Lol, never really understood but it always made me laugh when I would hear Kerr's response lol.

That said, anybody remember Jenna Holbrook (can't remember which station)? There was this one morning (maybe 10 years ago) when some pervert called her and asked her live on air if "she could stick her finger in his @ $ $ ]-[ 0 L e while he masturbates". Never heard anything like it before on live radio.
