ESPN Radio Features Remarkably Awkward News Update About Marbles
While we all loved that video of the marble race (go ahead and treat yourself to another viewing while you’re here), I’m not sure it deserved a shoutout in an ABC news update during the Mike & Mike radio show this morning. Still, that’s exactly what happened. The strange segment got even stranger wh...

Doofus Caller Shows Up On Jim Rome's Set, Gets Run From Show In Person
The Jim Rome Show is still trudging along, a shadow of its former self ever since Rome’s choice to sign with CBS Sports Radio.

Sports Radio Host Loses His Mind When Nobody Can Answer His Dumb Trivia Question
Chris “Mad Dog” Russo was once the broadcast partner of Mike Francesa, our other favorite sports radio goober, but now he’s just a dude who yells a lot on his own radio show. “Yelling” can mean different things depending on who is doing it, and in Russo’s case it means, “Man who is clearly at the en...
Radio Dummy On Female NFL Coach: "There's No Place For A Woman In Professional Sports, In Football, Coaching Men"
Cleveland sports radio host Kevin Kiley clearly has a problem with women.

The <i>Star Wars</i> Chronology Melted Mike Francesa's Brain
