Al Horford's Sister Tells Radio Doofus To Fuck Off Over His Bad Paternity Leave Take
Al Horford missed the Celtics’ win last night over the Heat to be in Atlanta for the birth of his daughter.

I Dare You To Listen To This Excruciatingly Awkward Conversation Between Mike Francesa And A Caller

Cleveland Radio Dummy Cries Censorship
When the Buffalo Bills made Kathryn Smith a full-time coach in January, Cleveland sports radio host Kevin Kiley did not like the hiring. “She couldn’t possibly be qualified to the same level that a man could be qualified to do that,” Kiley said on his Jan. 21 show on 92.3 The Fan.

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.

Philly Radio Dipshit Calls Jason Kelce A "House Negro"
Sports radio is full of terrible morons who use their short tempers to draw out a two-minute topic into a 10-minute segment. (Examples can be found here, here, here, and here.)

The <i>Star Wars</i> Chronology Melted Mike Francesa's Brain
Today, Mike Francesa talked Star Wars, and it was glorious. A simple question about how many Star Wars movies George Lucas actually directed led to one of his producers attempting to explain the chronology of the movies, and that’s when things got good:...
Mike Francesa, Live On Air, Just Counting To 42
I don’t think this latest example of Mike Francesa’s utter contempt for his listeners achieves the same level of majesty that 50 Seconds of Phone Scrolling did, but it’s still great:...

Bad Radio Man Calls ESPN's Jessica Mendoza "Tits McGee," Gets Suspended

Radio Dummy On Female NFL Ref: "It's The Wrong Place To Put A Woman"
Kevin Kiley hosts a morning sports radio show in Cleveland, and today he wanted to talk about the NFL’s decision to hire a female referee for the first time ever.

The Moment Chicago Radio Hosts Found Out On The Air That They Were Fired

Tie Domi Only Wants To Talk About Microsoft In Awkward Radio Interview
