I Hate Lavar and Chad

[riggo4ever]

The Lavar show is the worst radio program EVER! They have done nothing but bash the Skins since July. Lavar is a bitter ex-employee (whom I used to love as a player) and Chad Dukes is a fat-ass. If there are still any hardcore Skins fans out there who will always back our team, please boycott that crap show and denounce Lavar as "one of us".

GO SKINS!

[rd421]

Kevin Sheehan is that you?

[Skinz4Life12]

good for you. they are not bashing the skins. i'm sorry you feel that way, but the last thing i'm going to do is boycott the show.

[Alvin_Walton40]

They are going to ride fan dissent as long as works.

Cliche or not - don't like don't listen.

[kramdizzle]

they may complain a lot but how many people on this board who are "true" fans complain all the time? They just say what we think some of the time. they are speaking for a majority of frustrated fans and frustrated fans do not cheer

[panel]

They do have a bit of hateraid in them, and Chad seems to enjoy it more when they lose then when they win, but I like the show, there is some insight that you can get from listening to the show that you will not get elsewhere.

['SKINSRICH]

Kevin Sheehan is that you?
:hysterical: Now that's funny!

[riggo4ever]

Some of you are missing the point. They ONLY talk about the down side of the SKINS. I know we have issues, but true fans like me start every season with hope and keep it until there is none. Maybe some of you have grown weak, but I still get pissed when people bash my team...especially a local station. To me it is backstabbing. Wait until we are good again, then they will be the first on the bandwagon. Screw them, go Skins.

[RedlightG20]

The worst part about that show is that you can really tell when they are pushing an agenda. It's every day and nonstop.

"Keep listening to our show... stick it to Snyder!"

Fail! I love the show. If you can't take people criticizing and speaking the truth about the skins listen to 980!

[ST is my boy]

There is already 6000 threads on this.

Okay, I'll bite.

1) This "true fans" :pooh: is really starting to annoy me.

2) How do you feel when you hear the exact same sentiment on the station that is owned by the team?

3) I have been listening to the guys for the past couple of weeks and they have been okay for the most part. Yeah, they have their moments when you can hear a bit of bitterness towards to ownership and tend to overhype things (Sonny/Jim post game interview), but they are no different from any other show in the area with regards to the Skins.

[CPortJGibbs89]

I dont mind the show all that much. I just love listening to radio about the Redskins so I tune in. The only thing that bothers me which I have mentioned in every thread about this station is how they act like they are so uncensored compared to 980.

They were going on and on yesterday about how Snyders owns 980, and Snyder owns this message board and how he controls what is talked about on this site and the radio. They were talking about how they are not censored and they give you the real truth and blah blah blah. Its horse **** because it couldnt be farther from the truth. Chad Dukes was the one going off the most and I just want to call in and tell Chad to surf this website and he can find a million threads bashing Snyder all the time and nobody here is censoring that talk.

I just hate when people spout **** out of there mouth that is not true. I go on this site every day and listen to 980 all the time and you cant even tell Snyders owns either of those. Sorry I ***** about this every time this stuff is brought about but Dukes and Lavar talk about this all the time and it pisses me the **** off.

[CPortJGibbs89]

Fail! I love the show. If you can't take people criticizing and speaking the truth about the skins listen to 980!I guess you dont listen to 980 then huh. Tune in at 4pm and listen to the Sports Reporters talk about the Skins.

GO SKINS!

Only thing true statement in your little rant is that Dukes is a fat-ass. The rest is all subjective. I dont see why you feel the need to post your opinion about that talk show or any for that matter. If you dont like it---DONT LISTEN. Simple as that.

[Boss_Hogg]

glad you're happy with a mediocre product

[SKOALSKIN]

They do have a bit of hateraid in them, and Chad seems to enjoy it more when they lose then when they win, but I like the show, there is some insight that you can get from listening to the show that you will not get elsewhere.

I am a Chad Dukes fan. I think LaVar is horrible but the Big O and Dukes show was radio gold. I don't think Chad is a total redskins hater. He is fed up like the majority of fans and has a forum to express his disdain. In the interest of full disclosure.......... I think their show blows and the 106.7 format flip has been a failure.

[Chachie]

I don't listen to their show because..

1. I never listened to Chad Dukes anyway.

2. Chad Dukes is certainly no sports reporter or analyst.

3. Lavar Arrington has never impressed me with any media professionalism, whether it be tv or radio.


.. but it's not because they bash the Redskins. Everyone bashes the Redskins these days.

[Probos]

I love their show. Insightful, funny, and overall entertaining. If you don't like it, as the great Mike Tyson so eloquently put it "If you have a problem, turn off your station"

[Brandon Lloyd Christmas]

I guess you dont listen to 980 then huh. Tune in at 4pm and listen to the Sports Reporters talk about the Skins.


lately whenever i turn on czabe and pollin theyre not even talking about the skins. its maryland football and the wizards.

[RFKFedEx]

On a related note, I've been very happy over the past year that 980 has not been underly critical of the team since Snyder bought the station. I thought for sure Danny would bounce Andy and Czabe.


My only issue w/ Chad Dukes is that he's not really a sports guy. He often sounds underinformed, particularly when it comes to Redskins history and the gameday experience today.

Dukes had no idea who Haloti Ngata was a few weeks back. Ngata is a star in this league.

[dreamboater]

Chad is terrible. His entire agenda is to create contraversy. I enjoy listening to Lavar however. I can understand he is bitter and I am sure we all would be had we lived in his shoes. However, I listen because they talk Skins 100% of the time.

[Audible_Red40]

Controvery creates ratings.

[big z]

Wait until we are good again, then they will be the first on the bandwagon. Screw them, go Skins.

psst, they call it like they see it. it may be sunshine, rainbows, and unicorns from your viewpoint, but i and many others have a different perspective.

of course we are all gonna still root for the win, the playoffs, the Superbowl...but we've all seen this movie before. we know how it plays out.

do you watch old yeller repeatedly and keep hoping he won't get shot at the end?

i probably like their show because they bash snyder and it aligns with my viewpoint...but our owner has no one to blame but himself and frankly, i'm not sure he gives a damn as long as vinny is stroking his ego and he gets to count his growing cash pile...



I just hate when people spout **** out of there mouth that is not true. I go on this site every day and listen to 980 all the time and you cant even tell Snyders owns either of those. Sorry I ***** about this every time this stuff is brought about but Dukes and Lavar talk about this all the time and it pisses me the **** off.

if you can't tell a difference between before Snyder bought this site (Aug 05) and now...then you are new or just haven't been paying attention...

that being said, i've gotten used to it, and i still think this place is a great place for information and links to great blogs...:helmet:

[RSanz]

Actually, I've found that Lavar has love for the TEAM, he just hates the ORGANIZATION (if that makes sense - there is a difference).

[CPortJGibbs89]

that being said, i've gotten used to it, and i still think this place is a great place for information and links to great blogs...:helmet:Well I joined this site in Oct of 05 so I dont know what this site was like before he owned it. All I can say is what more could people have said about Snyder that they arent saying now? What is being censored by Snyder now that wasnt censored before?

Implying real skins fans are not pissed off at what Daniel Snyder has done to the franchise

http://pyleoflist.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/clinton-portis-glasses.jpg

[Boss_Hogg]

It's their job to attract listeners. obviously they are doing a good job because you created a thread on the official Redskin message board bashing their show.

[RedskinsNation]

ESPN 980 (the two clowns...czabe and andy) they hate/make fun of the Skins as much as Chad and LaVar easily. What radio program in this area/country does not????

I think with the Chad/LaVar show is the Chad feeds off LaVar....u can feel it off one show. Dukes loves to just throw predictions/statements out there without even thinking about it....not just with the Skins either. Re: the Nats...people would call in about the Strasburg draft pick and he was just maiming them talking about how there is NO CHANCE we would sign him & he was baffled why we would even draft Straz...and they all sat there in the radio studio and giggled non-stop....i havent heard them mention how that ended up.

I think the show would be GREAT if LaVar wasnt so damm bitter, his true insight I do find knowledgeble but his blatant hatred turns me off completely. I highly doubt he roots for the Skins whatsover...u know he's loving it when we lose.

I just cant turn on the radio EVERY DAY at 4pm when im leaving work and get excited about hearing LaVar/Dukes bash Snyder/Campbell/Zorn/Portis on a daily basis...its not appealing to me. Its beyond old.

God forbid the Skins have a winning season and do some damage in the playoffs...im not sure what LaVar would have to say.

[wvtbred]

I like it and listen most days but switch to XM when Wise is on. Can't listen to him for a minute.

[Gibbsisgod2006]

Lavar isn't that bad he is not the greatest radio talk show host but Chad Dukes is the worst honestly he needs to stick to video games an MMA. Chad talks down to callers when he is proven wrong, his knowledge about football and Redskins in general is awful at times. They do seem as if they have an agenda against Snyder and the organization. I mean really how can you call out 980 Andy Polin is the biggest Redskins hater of all time.

[Brandon Lloyd Christmas]

polin hates the skins more than dukes does. dukes definitely eggs people on but i think he just cant look at scoring so few points and get positive about it.

even when the skins do anything good polin just hates it. he makes czabe look like a homer lol. polin is the worst.

[Robbnva]

1. they do talk a ton about the skins but they have said they really don't care about the other sports right now, football is new and everyone is into it

2. I hate the hmmph they do after somebody they interview says something, sounds condesending to me

3. Lavar has talked about how to improve the team's fan base and make the 12th man more of factor in these home games so you can tell he loves the skins, he is bitter at Snyder and rightfully so

[Stew]

I love LA and Dukes. I found Dukes a little hard to digest at first... but as much as I hate what he says... he is right a lot of the time. A bucn of it is stuff we as Skins fans don't want to realize, but Chad hits on some very sharp points. I like LA's view of certain situations... like you can visualize him thinking baout his first hand experiencee when he makes comments. very good radio. I also think they have the best interviews.

[Brandon Lloyd Christmas]

lavar definitely likes the skins but he hates dan.

[flexxskins]

Dukes is a fat-ass.You are complaining about them being more objective about the Redskins and this is what you come up with as to why you hate Dukes?:doh:

[Probos]

polin hates the skins more than dukes does. dukes definitely eggs people on but i think he just cant look at scoring so few points and get positive about it.

even when the skins do anything good polin just hates it. he makes czabe look like a homer lol. polin is the worst.

980 is so boring to listen too,...and Polin's the worst.

[Brandon Lloyd Christmas]

980 is so boring to listen too,...and Polin's the worst.


czaben seems like hes lost some of his flare. i liked him a lot better when he was so sarcastic. now he seems to be missing most of the time and they have tom lavero on instead. the show doesnt have the chemistry it used to have.

dukes and chad are better IMO. its all skins, and right now i dont care about maryland football or gilbert arenas crying about x y or z.

[tr1]

Someone remind me what LaVar did for the Skins?

I believe he had a remarkably ordinary career.

I guess that makes him a great commentator.

[icbmayday]

Lavar bases everything on him, like he is every football player and Dukes is just his sidekick lol
I don't like the show either, but I find myself listen to it
It always gives me a good laugh

[More Complete]

I agree with the title of this thread. I hate Lavar and Chad too! All they do is bash the Skins for hours and hours. Judging from this site, I'd say this is right in line with how many fans feel. I would like nothing better than the Skins to do well and shut them (and everyone else) up. Otherwise, it will be more of the same. Don't you know the Redskins suck? :rolleyes:

[Brandon Lloyd Christmas]

Someone remind me what LaVar did for the Skins?

i think just the fact he has NFL experience with the team he talks about gives him some insight. he knows the players personally as well as the owner.

and i cant remember, but did lavar have the same relationship with dan early in his career that portis has with dan now?

[RFKFedEx]

Someone remind me what LaVar did for the Skins?


1.) The Redskins led Sportscenter on the day he was drafted in 2000.

2.) He sold lots of jerseys which were always prominently displayed in the front window of the Redskins stores.

3.) He went to a several probowls based upon what he did he did in college and his draft status.

4.) He was paid more than Ray Lewis so that means he was definitely a better player and team leader than Ray Ray ever was.

[RedlightG20]

The only thing that LA brings to that show is credibility. He knows the game very well, as any ex-player does.

The Sports Reporters, all things considered, are a joke. They've probably never thrown a football in their lives, yet harp on Zorn for making bad calls in an NFL game.

LaVar's show won't last once the football season ends. All they seem to know is football and some MMA, but I'd imagine it's extremely difficult to dedicate hours a day to MMA. Yeah they have the Caps but you can tell they aren't true Caps fans. And I don't believe they could have an intelligent conversation about the Nats or Zards.

[S.T.real,lights,out]

I guess you dont listen to 980 then huh. Tune in at 4pm and listen to the Sports Reporters talk about the Skins.

Nope! Out of work at 4!

[NattyLight]

They pretty much have a concurrence that this team, from the top-down is in TROUBLE. And I tend to agree with them. Lavar experienced the inadequecies of this organization are first hand. They're negative, but until the positive outweights...you'll have that.

[ntotoro]

I've listened a few times to get some idea of what's going on. LaVar is better than I expected and God knows I've ragged on the guy enough over the last five years. Chad is utterly unlistenable.

[CPortJGibbs89]

Nope! Out of work at 4!So then you just assume that 980 never bashes the Skins or the person that owns the station because Snyder is the owner. You do know who owns extremeskins right?

[cjbrown]

I don't know what show you have been listening to, but I think they have a great show & I love the skins. I go back to the "Over the hill gang" as a fan & I have tried to listen to 980, but their discussions are more on the level of biased drawn out inflamatory rumor than any real discussion.

They have no objectivity. Lavar may have bias, but it does not affect his view of the players and his bias toward Snyder messing with his money is rarely metioned even when relevant. Lavar is intelligent engaging and appears to have a wide range of interests. This makes the discussions really worth listening to. Most often I have found the show to be positive and some negative but there is a balance.

[ouvan59]

I don't listen to their show because..

1. I never listened to Chad Dukes anyway.

2. Chad Dukes is certainly no sports reporter or analyst.

3. Lavar Arrington has never impressed me with any media professionalism, whether it be tv or radio.


.. but it's not because they bash the Redskins. Everyone in the bashes the Redskins these days.

What I hate about them is that they absolutely bash, and I mean bash, anybody that calls in and disagrees with them. Dukes does nothing but toss up softball Snyder bashing questions to Lavar. And then Lavar has the audacity to criticize players preparations. I don't want to listen to Larry Michael-type all-is-rosey broadcasts but something in between would be nice. Neither Dukes nor Lavar give any type of insight into anything of substance. I do have to thank them for making 980s evening drive-time show seem almost balanced.

[Gracelander]

I only listen to Sirius radio, the NFL channel where they bash the skins also. Only the cowgirls & giants & saints get any respect there.. bunch of dummies

there isnt a single sports show in the area that knows jack about the nationals. id bet any money that me and some of the other guys on extremenats.com know 10x more about whats going on with the nats and their minor league teams than any radio broadcaster in the area.

theyre so bad they dont even get talked about. lol

[Probos]

Someone remind me what LaVar did for the Skins?

I believe he had a remarkably ordinary career.

I guess that makes him a great commentator.

So what you're saying is, having a super successful-to-HOF NFL career makes you a good commentator? Hmmmm,....so I guess that makes Emmitt Smith and Michael Irvin the best commentators ever.

:hysterical:

[DirtyGunz8]

He pissed me off when he was talking about being a Giant. He much rather do the same show in new york but it's not going to happen. LaVar is a business man, not a Redskin.

[brianm23]

I actually like their show a lot and will continue to listen to it. They don't bash the Skins unless it's warranted. They both know that they have too much talent on the Skins to perform the way they are playing. They are critical of that lack of success and the Skins management which I applaud totally. They are paid to be critical and so is most of the rest of media not on the payroll of Dan Snyder.

What do you want them to do? Tell you how outstanding the Skins are for barely beating the ****tiest team in the NFL? Get real.

[fansince62]

exactly.....their tone is symptomatic of the expectations/performance gap that lies behind a lot of the wanking.

[youngestson]

The Lavar show is the worst radio program EVER! They have done nothing but bash the Skins since July. Lavar is a bitter ex-employee (whom I used to love as a player) and Chad Dukes is a fat-ass.

Then don't listen to them. It's really very simple. :helmet:

do you watch old yeller repeatedly and keep hoping he won't get shot at the end?



I cannot wait for the Redskins to be successful again...if for no other reason than I'm so sick of reading and hearing the above cliche...:doh:

No offense to you, big z, it's a widespread problem.

[TD_washingtonredskins]

I only listen to Sirius radio, the NFL channel where they bash the skins also. Only the cowgirls & giants & saints get any respect there.. bunch of dummies

OT...is that last year's punt return vs. the Lions in your sig?

[Skinz4Life12]

I think the OP just called the show

[DCMONEY]

Fail! I love the show. If you can't take people criticizing and speaking the truth about the skins listen to 980!


I love the show. They sure do tell the truth. I hate when 980 sugar coats stuff. :jump::jump::jump::jump::jump::allhail:

[brianm23]

hahaha....which one of you guys just called in to the LA and Dukes show just now?


He asked them why do they always hate on the Skins. He was asked to explain and the guy couldn't so he got promptly got shut down.

[Idaho fan]

The worst part about that show is that you can really tell when they are pushing an agenda. It's every day and nonstop.

"Keep listening to our show... stick it to Snyder!"

I agree... I liked the show but its starting to get old. I get that they think Snyder is an unfair evil dictator - but every day that seems to be their focus. When they actually talk football I enjoy it.

[BigMike21]

Fail! I love the show. If you can't take people criticizing and speaking the truth about the skins listen to 980!

You fail. Chad Dukes knows nothing about football. Sports Reporters continue to bash Danny and Vinnie everyday so your little go listen to 980 is uninformative and makes you look like a boob.

[BigMike21]

I love the show. They sure do tell the truth. I hate when 980 sugar coats stuff. :jump::jump::jump::jump::jump::allhail:

So who exactly sugarcoats what? :doh:

[Spade]

Lavar has open my eyes to the problems with this team. It's the only sports show I listen to.

[CPortJGibbs89]

So who exactly sugarcoats what? :doh:You beat me to it man. The only person that could be considered sugarcoating things would be Sheehan on the sports fix but he will even bash the skins for stupid moves at times. 980 can bash the Skins and Snyder as much as 106.7 if not more at times.

[Alvin_Walton40]

980 has been just as harsh as of late, no doubt about it. It is no mystery that fans are pissed. It is both stations jobs to stir the pot. It is good business.

As far as Chad not being a sports guy, well he is not. The format change was to the 'Fan' and Chad is obviously bringing the Fan perspective.

WIP in Philly has made a long good living off fan dissent....the format works as long as your cities teams are struggling....outside of the Caps most recent success, I would say that the DC market place is ripe for this format.

[BigMike21]

You beat me to it man. The only person that could be considered sugarcoating things would be Sheehan on the sports fix but he will even bash the skins for stupid moves at times. 980 can bash the Skins and Snyder as much as 106.7 if not more at times.

It's true. Andy Polian can be a straight up jerk sometimes. And they blast Vinny constantly for havinga radio show....which is on their same station. Ya Sheehan looks through the rosy glasses sometimes but I like him solely because I can listen to him talk about a lot of sports, not just football.

[CPortJGibbs89]

It's true. Andy Polian can be a straight up jerk sometimes. And they blast Vinny constantly for havinga radio show....which is on their same station. Ya Sheehan looks through the rosy glasses sometimes but I like him solely because I can listen to him talk about a lot of sports, not just football.Czabe will take shots at Snyder all the time. Like you said man they will have Hanrahan on the show who usually hosts the red zone with Vinny and be making fun of the show to Hanrahan and even Hanrahan will laugh. Alot of people dont like Sheehan but he is one of my favorite radio hosts on the station. He doesnt go to far to the left or right, he is pretty even in his analysis of the team.

[RonArtest15]

Am I the only one who has no problem with Chad Dukes? Yeah he makes mistakes and what not, but he's not nearly as bad as most of yall are making him out to be. I love the show he and Lavar have, and I made the switch over to 106.7 on my afternoon commute (over from 980). Hopefully, they keep it going...from what they have said, the ratings have been positive....

[TheDoyler23]

I don't mind some bashing, but when every segment launches into the same thing, it gets tedious. I like the show, but sometimes if falls into that tedious run of bashing.

What I really dislike, and its a specialty from The Sports Reporters in 980, is when they throw something out that is forever ago that has no bearing on the present, just to take a shot. "Well Danny charged fans to watch practice...." Ugh. Enough. Get a guest that isn't Capt whiny voice Tom Loverro.

[BigMike21]

Nah Dukes is cool, I actually like the show. If you follow him on twitter though you will learn that he is a bit weird, but nothing bad really. No hate from the big guy towards him. I just don't like when people just say 980 is a snyder puppet who only talks rosy about the skins because thats just not true.

[CPortJGibbs89]

I just don't like when people just say 980 is a snyder puppet who only talks rosy about the skins because thats just not true.Same here man. Especially people who dont even listen to 980 and just assume its a Snyder love fest station.

[Alvin_Walton40]

Same here man. Especially people who dont even listen to 980 and just assume its a Snyder love fest station.

the boys were flat out killing Zorn this afternoon - they played all those Zorn clips from this past weekend.

Anyone who listened to that could not possibly come away saying that 980 was a homer station. Impossible.

[CPortJGibbs89]

[Brandon Lloyd Christmas]

polin is the biggest skins hater and hes on 980.

there isnt a show on 980 that drinks the koolaid.

doc is the weirdest though. he rips the team big time one minute, then the next minute hes talking about how good they are. hes a truly conflicted man lol.

[Alvin_Walton40]

Kevin Sheehan and Thom Loverro.

They played the clips of the Sellars drop then they played the clip of Zorn telling us why he was going to run it in the end zone....

[BigMike21]

doc is the weirdest though. he rips the team big time one minute, then the next minute hes talking about how good they are. hes a truly conflicted man lol.

Especially when he rips the whole team for things then next segment he interviews a player and acts like he is the bawse football player.

[Brandon Lloyd Christmas]

Especially when he rips the whole team for things then next segment he interviews a player and acts like he is the bawse football player.


lol, yup. i hear him talking about how weak we are and how he thinks were struggling so bad, then ill see him on TV talking about the exact opposite.

i think his mind changes from hour to hour.

[CPortJGibbs89]

Kevin Sheehan and Thom Loverro.

They played the clips of the Sellars drop then they played the clip of Zorn telling us why he was going to run it in the end zone....Not surprising, Sheehan can give them props about things but also rip them as well. He doesnt go as far and Andy and Czabe. Andy and Czabe will make fun of Sheehan for being a homer at times.

Has anyone heard 106.7 the fans tag line. Sports radio from the bleachers not the owners box... Anyone think that is a shot at 980??:silly: They just try and pound it into to your head that they are just so uncensored compared to 980.

[Alvin_Walton40]

Not surprising, Sheehan can give them props about things but also rip them as well. He doesnt go as far and Andy and Czabe. Andy and Czabe will make fun of Sheehan for being a homer at times.

Has anyone heard 106.7 the fans tag line. Sports radio from the bleachers not the owners box... Anyone think that is a shot at 980??:silly: They just try and pound it into to your head that they are just so uncensored compared to 980.


It is total BS. Then again in the world of marketing all is fair in love and war.

[CPortJGibbs89]

polin is the biggest skins hater and hes on 980.

there isnt a show on 980 that drinks the koolaid.

doc is the weirdest though. he rips the team big time one minute, then the next minute hes talking about how good they are. hes a truly conflicted man lol.I always felt Czaben was more of a hater than Polin.

[Stew]

i think just the fact he has NFL experience with the team he talks about gives him some insight. he knows the players personally as well as the owner.

and i cant remember, but did lavar have the same relationship with dan early in his career that portis has with dan now?

Yes, I remember reading that LA and Snyder used to play chess together on the way to games. They were def tight for a while.

[BigMike21]

Yes, I remember reading that LA and Snyder used to play chess together on the way to games. They were def tight for a while.

Yeah man there used to be like a 500 foot picture of Lavar in under armour on the stadium at one point.

[Brandon Lloyd Christmas]

I always felt Czaben was more of a hater than Polin.

no way. czabe is more sarcastic but he can admit when the skins play well. no matter what the skins do, polin thinks theyre awful. hes not even funny about it either. i have no problem when people bash the skins as long as they keep it playful and humorous. that guy is neither. czabe is the only reason to listen to that show and hes never there when i turn it on.

He cracks me up. I love it when he starts making one point but by the end he has worked himself into a lather and is arguing the exact opposite point.

[Redskin Rush]

Some of you are missing the point. They ONLY talk about the down side of the SKINS. I know we have issues, but true fans like me start every season with hope and keep it until there is none. Maybe some of you have grown weak, but I still get pissed when people bash my team...especially a local station. To me it is backstabbing. Wait until we are good again, then they will be the first on the bandwagon. Screw them, go Skins.

Why does everyone jump to the "Lavar has a axe to grind"? To me, he takes up for the Skins when Chad goes on his rants. Lavar praises the players for the most part, I just think the people who didn't like Lavar when he was here are the ones who over generalize his position on our team.

The same rational that makes people think 980 is a homer station.

[IbleedBnG83]

I think Sheehan has the best combination of homerism with limited bias. He looks at the whole picture from both sides.

[Skinz4Life12]

now they are playing the sound effects from the game on their show.

[Cardas]

and I'm sure they are going to add what 2 cents they have into the equation. Fact is, it was a great piece by NFL Films and showed a good insight into Zorn / Cambell...


... Still complimenting them doesn't get ratings... anti skins radio. nuff said.

[DCskinFAN]

The Lavar show is the worst radio program EVER! They have done nothing but bash the Skins since July. Lavar is a bitter ex-employee (whom I used to love as a player) and Chad Dukes is a fat-ass. If there are still any hardcore Skins fans out there who will always back our team, please boycott that crap show and denounce Lavar as "one of us".

GO SKINS!


I am with you. this show has an agenda to discredit the organization. MY organization. If i want to watch people hating on the skins ill watch espn.

i, too, will boycott this show.

[michiskin]

Hey, if hearing 'negativity' about the Redskins bothers you so much, why don't you not read the papers, the internet (including this site), and just watch the game with the sound off? Problem solved!
Snyder is a polarizing figure. His 'plan' to improve the Skins has pretty much just dwindled down to throwing lots of money at everything instead of modeling sucessful franchises like the Steelers, Ravens, Patriots, etc. He'd rather do it his way and be mediocre than 'the right way' and win. Don't get me wrong, it's good to have an owner who is willing to spend the cash, but just that isn't enough.
Just accept it, because he will NEVER sell the team. He's living the dream he's had since he was wearing his fabled redskins belt buckle as a little kid.
Despite all of that, I'm a Redskins fan and going to root the team on to win, no matter who owns it or what highs or lows they achieve. I just dont expect too much at this point.
Bottom line: you can be a REAL fan without slurping everything that goes on with this dysfunctional franchise. I chuckle when people insinuate otherwise.

[DCskinFAN]

Actually, I've found that Lavar has love for the TEAM, he just hates the ORGANIZATION (if that makes sense - there is a difference).

no this does not make sense. sorry, 1 and the same.

[BigMike21]

no this does not make sense. sorry, 1 and the same.

you're missing the point. the point is they have an agenda to discredxit the organization/owner of their rival station. and the relentless hating is having an ill effect on our fans and our organization, which translates into counter productive to the improvement of the team. maybe its because as a fan i feel like im part of the team, but our job is to try to support the team.

this is like having a radio station in washington owned by a dallas cowboy fan. because they push the exact agenda that a dallas cowboy fan would support.

i would be suprised if the people behind this agenda were not dallas or ny fans.

[DCskinFAN]

If that doesn't make sense to you you need to get checked out.

homeboy,

you cant support the team but not the organization.

now maybe they have convinced you that you can do that, but it just doesnt work that way...

[NoleSkin21]

I like them alot. Its refreshing to hear the fans point of view on the radio.

Yes you can. Go tell that to the old african americans in DC who actually still rooted for the skins yet had beef with the organization and their segregation policy. Explain that one. Or how about Orioles fans like me who am really sick of the owner and hate his organization yet still root for the players and team.

[AsburySkinsFan]

Oh no!!! They are invoking the name of Spurrier!!! Oh god my ears....

Fair enough. To address your point then; The 'agenda' behind any radio station's programming is one thing: to have high ratings in order to make money via advertising. All you have to do is look around this site to see there are plenty of dissatisfied Redskins fans, especially in regards to Dan Snyder. Hence, that is a significant demographic and listening audience.
Again, if you don't care for the message, just don't listen. It doesn't mean that those that do aren't in your category as a 'true fan.'
Also, your theory that the people who are in charge of this 'agenda' are Cowboys and Giants fans is just ridiculous.

[DCskinFAN]

Why are you coming into a thread and acting like a jerk?

hope there are no hard feelings, not really directed at you.

i hate the way i live in washington and i have to be "ashamed" to want to root for my team no matter what. and if i do, i am discredited as a "crazy homer" ofcourse!! thats why they call it fanatical.

I hate that the local sports station seems to have a hard on for the complete collapse of the only sports team i have ever rooted for my entire life.

I hate that every time i turn on 106.7 it seems like they are trying to spin anything and everything to "show" that our franchise is a "joke" (words of lavar).

I hate that i feel like we (fans) have an obligation to cheer and support our team. and this fing station has convinced a large portion of our fans that it is our obligation to BOO. how does that help our team win?

I think this season is different for some reason. I feel this is the uprising it has taken 15 years to get to.

[Portis for 6]

I wish I could listen to it,to see what all the hype is about... Down here we got the redskins report on Thursdays. All they do is bash on the skins too,but there's really nothing great to to talk about!?! I guess you're a Larry Michaels type guy huh OP?

[DCskinFAN]

Are you saying that someone who criticizes the 'Skins performance and management is really a Cowboys fan?

not at all.

im just frustrated with an entire station that destroys the hometeam on a daily basis.. but doesn't even mention romo's 3 interception performance.. or the horrendous coaching that dallas has.

that, specifically, makes me feel like it is a cowboy fan pushing this agenda.

So basically you want a Redskins' radio show to ignore the status of our team and focus on the negatives of the Cowboys who managed to score 30+ points even with 3 interceptions?

By definition they are rivals, as they are competing for the same radio audience. I'm not pretending otherwise. In that respect, how could Snyder's stations be considered 'unbiased'?

[BigMike21]

I still believe the main reason Snyder bought the station was for signal strength for when they broadcast the game.....something TripleX really had problems with in some areas if I remember correctly.

[AsburySkinsFan]

Pretty sad when "Is this [Detroit] game the biggest game of Zorn's carrier?" is a legitimate question.

Why is the comparison not somewhat accurate?

Al Davis overly involved owner who has proven to be horrible for his team

Raiders a once powerhouse team has been reduced to irrelevance not just in the league, but in their conference but worse yet in their division.
Redskins....(as much as it pains me to say it)

[Karl W]

I think this season is different for some reason. I feel this is the uprising it has taken 15 years to get to.

But the "uprising" is totally media created, not only by 106.7 but ESPN980 and the Post as well. I quit listening to ESPN980 last season -- they criticized the team from morning until night, especially Kevin Shehan and Doc Walker. I actually thought 106.7 was a welcome change; until recently, their coverage of the Skins was (ironically) much more balanced and circumspective.

But this week 106.7 has gone insane. They spend 10 minutes talking about how they are solely responsible for the "uprising" against the team, because of course 980 can't say anything negative about the team, which is a complete joke since the morons at 980 have been bashing the team since November 2008. Then they say that things are in a "crisis mode" at Redskins Park because all the players are talking about the media coverage and the booing -- but only because they won't stop asking the players about the media coverage and booing.

Lavar has always been bad, but he and his idiot sidekick Chad are easy to ignore. But this week Holden Kushner and Mike Wise further embarassed themselves by this fascination with the Skins "total meltdown." Wise (who used to have some class) actually brought a guy on the air who said he was the garbage collector for many of the Skins players and had "inside information" from his clients that Zorn would be fired if he lost in Detroit. Of course the guy had no details and would give no names of his sources. Wise actually thinks this is journalism.

Kushner is even worse. I have just stopped listening. If 106.7 wants to gain its audience that way, whatever. I don't need it. I'd rather listen to WFAN in NY.

right on.. Its like they take pride in creating an uprising

[hail2skins]

Both stations right now are being critical (and rightfully so) of the Skins. I try to listen to both stations but find myslef tuning into 106.7 more during drive time solely because Andy Pollin tends to overstructure the Sports Reporters. Can't stay on one topic for more than 30 minutes. So while Lavar and Chad and Holden talk about the Skins (and actually field a fair number of calls), Andy and Steve chat about why Tiger was on the sidelines at the Dolphins game. Weak.

[Kilmer21]

The Lavar show is the worst radio program EVER! They have done nothing but bash the Skins since July. Lavar is a bitter ex-employee (whom I used to love as a player) and Chad Dukes is a fat-ass.

Another one of the malevolent little dwarfs BM eaters.

[BadKarma]

I gave this show a chance mainly cause I was a big LA fan but to echo who everyone else is saying they just piss me off and put me in a bad mood.

Gone back to sirius radio.
:logo:

[tshile]

i don't care if they bash the skins.


the show sucks because the two of them don't know dick about sports. lavar knows football, but thats it. chad doesn't know anything about any sports outside of a very shallow 'fan' perspective. neither one of them are reporters, and when they get players on their show they basically rehash the same questions we've been hearing all week.

they're not creative, their shtick has gotten old already, and they don't know enough about sports in general to run a year round sports show. i can't wait to watch their show get pulled off air after football season when everyone else sees they have nothing to talk about, and people stop listening.

and i used to be a big fan of fukes

[WorldBFree76]

They are better than Sheehan, although that doesn't say much.

when he's a homer he's a homer, when he's being critical he is.

but at least he's got some knowledge about sports...

[WorldBFree76]

Maybe it's the way he talks, but he just drones on and on about one point in a roundabout way. Also his football knowledge at least is fairly limited from what I've heard. At least Lavar is a former football player.

If only there was a way you could turn off the radio. Alas, it's forever sewn to your ear.

[Ashburn Dave]

I find myself listening to LaVar more than Pollin. LaVar has nothing good to say about Snyder but he's still a Skins fan.

[RabidFan]

980 bashes the Skins as well just not 24-7 and call themselves the real truth. It's tired.

[Monkfan63]

[RAAZ227]

chad is effing annoying! I can't stand that guy!

[ixcuincle]

Still haven't heard an iota of Lavar and Chad yet. The show just doesn't seem interesting.

Its the Arbitron Rating. I don't think you can compare the two shows because of the different time slots.

JFK Beating TEM In Key Male Demos - 9/22 - In the age 25-54 male demo for the second week of September's Portable People Meter radio ratings, new CBS sports talker WJFK, 106.7 The Fan, makes a solid 5th place showing, one full ratings point ahead of Redskins owner Dan Snyder's rival sports talker WTEM, ESPN 980, which is in 9th place. Bonneville all-newser WTOP takes the top spot in the demo. In the more-tightly-targeted age 18-34 male demo, we're told that JFK's morning Junkies placed 1st, with the Mike Wise midday show and the Lavar Arrington afternoon show both in 4th. Also, with both JFK and TEM now ahead of righty talker WMAL, 630 AM, in the male age 18+ demo, it's "gonna make selling WMAL (to advertisers) really hard," a local radio guru tells DCRTV.....

[DCskinFAN]

wow, i guess we are gonna be 1 and 2...

everyone is picking detroit...

lol. oh well we can still have a good season after being 1 & 2...

[tshile]

And more than just football which gives his show a major edge.
yeah, their cast knows a lot about all of the sports... and they're much more objective with both home and out of the area teams.

i've actually never really heard them go full-homer when discussing the redskins... and i'm actually surprised they're 'allowed' to be as critical as they are, since snyder is their ultimate boss.

they are careful not to cross the line when bashing snyder, but aren't afraid to say negative things about him. same with the team... which is what i want to listen to, not the agenda 106.7 has.

Sorry Budd, but I happen to like them & I'm pretty Die Hard. I think if anyone has the right to be bitter, it's LaVar. Plus, for the mostpart, they're right. I can't stand that they are, but they are. And I believe that if the Redskins were actually showing they are a good team, I think they would be high on them. But they see what they see & I see it too.

[HOGnificent]

I like the show and the their variety of guest, but I listen to both 980 and 106.7. When the SKINS play good fans talk about how good they played, when they play bad we talk about that too. If they had a negative tone when we were winning then i would be concerned, otherwise i like it when they tell it like it is

[mcarey032]

It is your right boycott if you like, but there are a lot of things that they say that happen to be true. Besides, you think that some of the other Redskins pundits that are on 980 tow the Redskins company line? Czaban and Andy "bash" the Redskins to no end. There is nothing wrong with voicing dissent. It is imperative to having discussion as to where this team is headed this season.

I agree, but 90% of 106.7 program is Skins bashing. There is nothing objective about it. They particularly hate on Zorn. It gets really old. Most of their calls are from screaming irate fans that known nothing abotu football and want to fire the entire front office and coaching staff after every loss. But they are still more objective than 980, 100% of their programming is bashing the Skins.

I put on WFAN in NY or something with some variety. I can get all the Skins bashing I need from this board.

[JMU1330]

Not surprised some of the drones on here hate the show, but it's fantastic. Waaaaaay better than I expected it to be.

Also, for the last poster...it's "90% Skins bashing" because, why shouldn't it be? It's not like they're bashing the Patriots (a team with a proven record of success over the last decade). For the record, there's plenty of bashing a team like the Patriots in Boston and somehow their fanbase is able to cope.

Edit: Also for the last poster, they hate on Zorn because he's terrible, wrapped up in awful and surrounded by more terribleness.

[Jahbird]

I guess you dont listen to 980 then huh. Tune in at 4pm and listen to the Sports Reporters talk about the Skins.

I always LOL at the "980 is a mouthpiece" folks, they obviously have never listened to Czaban.

[cjbrown]

Wow - I listen to the show about 2-3 times a week and I have found the show to be quite informative and a lot less bitter than 980. I try to listen to 980 because I like sports, but the bashing is so far out there that it is just a downer. If I took everything bad someone did over the course of 10 years and constantly talked about it the person would seem to be quite dysfunctional or evil, but if I did the same thing with the good a different picture would emerge. They give 5 minutes to any good Snyder tried to do & constantly concentrate on the bad.

Lavar seems to me to be pretty objective considering his relationship with Snyder. At the time I heard about the money thing & his contract, I thought Lavar's rep messed up not Snyder. But, it is good to get the other side & I've only heard it mentioned once briefly and it appeared there was little animosity.

Chad seems o.k. as long as Lavar is there to balance his negativity. I think Lavar wants the skins to do well despite the Snyder relationship. I really don't listen to 980 much anymore except when doc walker is on with Thompson. Doc is pretty good.

[Skinsfan4life83]

Lavar is a disgruntled-washed up former employee, and Chad Dukes? Who the **** is he? Arrington is THE most boring radio personality EVER. How he got a radio show i will never know:doh:

[Skinsfan4life83]

I agree, but 90% of 106.7 program is Skins bashing. There is nothing objective about it. They particularly hate on Zorn. It gets really old. Most of their calls are from screaming irate fans that known nothing abotu football and want to fire the entire front office and coaching staff after every loss. But they are still more objective than 980, 100% of their programming is bashing the Skins.

I put on WFAN in NY or something with some variety. I can get all the Skins bashing I need from this board.

Aint that the truth, i exceed my recomended yearly dose of negativity every time i enter this board:D

[CAPT_CHAOS47]

There is already 6000 threads on this.
You are wrong my friend....There are 6001!!! Get the numbers correct before you post!:silly:

[CAPT_CHAOS47]

Anyone know where we can find the ratings, esp. for Lavar/Dukes vs/ Pollin/Czaban? I heard a couple guys on 106.7 say their ratings have been good, but haven't seen any evidence to prove it.
go to www.radioonline.com (http://www.radioonline.com) and go to arbitron ratings...and the DC market and there go your rating!

[Yeen80]

I actually enjoy their show. Better than some of the shows on 980

And that's sad. DC radio is dreadful. It's depressing. I grew up listening to Stern, Ken Beatrice, the Radio Gods, Opie and Anthony, Ron and Fez, hell, Loveline and G. Gordon. Now I have Chad ****ing Dukes, the fat overlysensitive, ignorant, moronic caveman-looking douche loser with a boob job and a fat ugly girlfriend. I mean wtf, DC radio is dead.

I don't know what the guy looks like, but he sounds like the most annoying person around. What is the deal with the boob job?

[dayday]

Okay, I'll bite.

1) This "true fans" :pooh: is really starting to annoy me.

2) How do you feel when you hear the exact same sentiment on the station that is owned by the team?

3) I have been listening to the guys for the past couple of weeks and they have been okay for the most part. Yeah, they have their moments when you can hear a bit of bitterness towards to ownership and tend to overhype things (Sonny/Jim post game interview), but they are no different from any other show in the area with regards to the Skins.

[dayday]

The show is still a little rough around the edges while lavar gets use to radio, but its steady improving. I love Chads rants he truly sounds like a pissed off fan and I can relate to that during these dark days

[Redskins Diehard]

[ljs]

I just started listening a couple weeks ago- I like it.

[dinosworld]

Ban Lavar? No way!

Most of my retired Jersey's in the closet have Arrington on them!

He has been one of my favorite players since he played at Penn State.

If anyone has the right to feel bitter towards the Redskins it his him. All the different defenses he played in and all the different coaches and schemes he was asked to be involved in. He could of had a great career anywhere else. When he did play for us their was always a feel in the air that he could single handedly make the difference in the game. The last time we won a playoff it was Lavar sealing the deal. Then a year later he was in a Giants uniform.

I would love to ban a lot of people from the "one of us" crowd but never ever Lavar.

[Destino]

Chad Dukes is annoying but Lavar is really good I think. Certainly the best former redskin player I've heard on the radio. I like the show personally.

[Thinking Skins]

I love this show. To the point where I refuse to listen to 980 almost ever any more. I listen to Mike Wise (a decent show) waiting on Lavar's show to start. My favorite show is Overtime with Holdin Kunschner (no idea how to spell his name. I thought it was Holy Kush) at first. But that dude seems like he has the most LOGIC on the station, and makes the most constructive arguments. But I like the emotion on the Lavar show. Its not nearly as biased as the Sports Reporters are (who seem to always have an anti Redskins agenda, and enjoy trying to piss off coaches), and its not as boring as the John Thompson show (dude was a great coach, but is just horrible on radio). I like the Locker Room, but I like Mike Wise a bit more.

All that pisses me off about the station is the stupid jingle!

[dockeryfan]

Lavar is good. I don't know why people would think otherwise.

If they think he's bashing the skins, they're waaaay off base.

[mcarey032]

I agree. I don't think that he is bashing the skins either. Lavar does a pretty good job. I can't complain too much about the job he does. I like Thompson OK for basketball, but listening to him for football is just too painful. He plays like he doesn't know football when he has been doing skins coverage with some sort of former redskins player on his show. You would think that he would pick up a thing or two about football.

[bricucci]

Some of you are missing the point. They ONLY talk about the down side of the SKINS. I know we have issues, but true fans like me start every season with hope and keep it until there is none. Maybe some of you have grown weak, but I still get pissed when people bash my team...especially a local station. To me it is backstabbing. Wait until we are good again, then they will be the first on the bandwagon. Screw them, go Skins.

Where is the upside? Our best player Hunter Smith is now hurt. Lifelong fan since 1979 (when I can remember watching) and for the 1st time in 20+ years, I could care less if they lose it doesn't ruin my Mondays any more. Blackouts are a reality next year, and may be the only thing to get Napolean to give up control of the front office and get it back in the hands of a football person!

[Destino]

All that pisses me off about the station is the stupid jingle!Are you listening online? They play that stupid jingle like 20 times in a row and it drives me insane.

[Stadium-Armory]

I moved out of VA in January, and came back for the first time last week. I listed to 106.7 the whole time I was in town, and caught this show 3 times. Given what I had been reading here, I expected it to be terrible. It wasn't. Lavar is a big goofy at times, but Chad's ok - not the horror some here made him out to be. My $.02

[greenmile]

Lavar is dead to this community after he called Gibbs a liar.

I used to love Lavar. He comes off bitter now.

Leave.

[Destino]

Lavar is dead to this community after he called Gibbs a liar.
Speak for yourself.

[askounes]

I think the show's very entertaining... Lavar's far better than I thought he'd be. A little childish at times, but overall a nice show.

[UltimateSkins]

Overall it's a pretty entertaining show. Way better than anything on 980. The other great thing about LaVar's show is that the commercials only last 2 minutes as opposed to the 10 minute commercial blocks you get stuck with on Synder radio.

[Thinking Skins]

Are you listening online? They play that stupid jingle like 20 times in a row and it drives me insane.

yeah, I can't get it in my area so I listen online.

[Yeen80]

Lavar is surprisingly entertaining on the show. I'm starting to make it a habit. It helps me get through the work day.

I used to spend those few hours listening to John Thompson but I can hardly understand what he's babbling about 1/2 the time. He's great for hoops but sounds like a complete moron when he tries discussing football, hockey, and golf.

[jrmooref]

I like the show most of the time. My only problem is the same problem I had with Lavar as a player. Too often I have heard him saying that the coaches dont know the game as well as the players and the players should just do their own thing. Its that attitude that kept Lavar from being great. He was really good, but if he had played within the system, EVER, he would have been one the best to play the game.

[Yeen80]

Anybody listening to them talk about racism now?

[G.A.C.O.L.B.]

I don't know what the guy looks like, but he sounds like the most annoying person around. What is the deal with the boob job?

He had manboobs so he got breast reduction surgery. I think it was more a radio stunt than anything. Either way, just horrible.

It baffles my mind that people like him. Now or on Big O and Dukes. There will always be people who like the stupidest things but I also think it speaks to the disaster that is local radio these days.

And the dude is just a complete douche in real life.

[wvtbred]

Love this show but I switch to 980 during Wise, can't frickin stand him.

[ljs]

Anybody listening to them talk about racism now?
I must have missed that today- I did step out a couple time during their show.

care to elaborate?

[Yeen80]

Unlike John Thompson, Lavar actually seems to know what he's talking about when it comes to other sports?

Thompson sounds like a complete moron trying to talk about the Capitals, Golf, Boxing, or even the Redskins.

[Yeen80]

I must have missed that today- I did step out a couple time during their show.

care to elaborate?

Lavar was just talking about the stererotypes of today, such as "acting white" or "acting black". Also, he went on to say that today if people look at you and you look white....you are white...but that there are different "shades" of black.

I really dont know why he went off on this rant but it wasn't within the flow of the show

[Thiebear]

Lavar before injury: A beast
After injury: Fat and fell for the "let him through, pass to TE in End Zone" 11 times.

But there a few nuggets in there... I listen to Coach T for my stuff.

[Jaded-Dragon]

Yeah, Dukes' whole angle is to be a dick to everyone. And yes, LaVar is just painful to listen to sometimes. But I still enjoy their show. Mainly because everytime I turn on 980 they are talking about the Nats or the Wizards, two teams I care nothing about.

There's a reason all they talk about is Skins and Caps.

And ironically enough I think both of them have predicted the final outcome of the Skins' games more accurately than any of the "Real" sports reporters and analysts in this area.

Uh, these players are getting payed millions to perform. If they are suffering from lack of confidence due to the content of a RADIO SHOW, there is a serious problem, and we need to get players who are tougher.

106.7 is in no way discrediting the team. They suck, and they are reporting the fact that they suck.

its not a negative spin thats being put on the team. if there was a lot of positive report and they were only reporting the negative, then it would be a negative spin. we have sucked thus far and that is what they are talking about. if they only talked positive, they would be putting a positive spin on everything..

[p0rtis26]

Is anyone listening to LaVar and Chad talking to JC? They were asking JC about a rift between two players (NOT Sellers/CP). JC was very politically correct and said some stuff needs to stay in the locker room. Who is the rift between?

[Brandon Lloyd Christmas]

lavar was LOSING IT today badly. im surprised he wasnt cursing to no end, but he was fired up.

[askounes]

Is anyone listening to LaVar and Chad talking to JC? They were asking JC about a rift between two players (NOT Sellers/CP). JC was very politically correct and said some stuff needs to stay in the locker room. Who is the rift between?

Yeah, I listened to that as well... JC was a pro and is trying to keep some stuff "in house", but you could tell that there's something goin' on. I got the feeling that it had to do with some players not giving their all in practice...

JC comes off so well in interviews, it's hard not to pull for the guy. I used to not think he had what it takes to be a leader on the Skins, but I'm starting to change my mind. Campbell may have some bad games here and there, but he's good Redskin, he seems to really care, and he's got the heart of a lion.

On another note... I'm really enjoying Lavar's show. I think he and Chad are pretty entertaining.

[RunClintonRun26]

Lavar has been in top form today . . . He literally sounds like he could suit up tonight and play in the MNF game.

His passion has always been one of his strong suits.

[GaryGreenMonk]

My friend tailgates in the players lot...

she said after the Tampa Bay game... several players came out and were drinking beers, Ovechkin was there...

Apparently Jason was by himself over by his mercedes and no one was talking to him.. his girlfriend showed up... but other than that, none of the other players in the lot that were hanging out and having a beer ever went near him.

I know he hangs out with Cooley... but other than that, it seems like this team is very "seperated" from Jason..

[p0rtis26]

There's a rift in the locker room over Clinton Portis and his antics.

[ballin86]

they're right....

[Diss]

I think the show is generally entertaining as hell. Sometimes Lavar goes off into La-La land, but I still enjoy his rants and I always liked Dukes on his old show.

Today Lavar told an AWESOME story about how Marty called out Bruce "ME-ME-ME" Smith in front of the whole team after Smith was running his mouth to the media about Marty. It was an INCREDIBLE story and really showed how Marty took no crap and led the team. If only we'd stuck with him a few more years. Stuff like that makes the show really enjoyable.

But anyone who's upset about the team being "bashed" on 106.7 is nuts. THis team and this ownership DESERVE to be bashed on every front until they make some REAL changes that will help this team in the long run, and it needs to be more than just firing Jim Zorn.

I find the show to be great. If you want to hear some crap journalism, listen to Chick Hernandez interviewing Zorn every week on Comcast as he stammers his way through question after pathetic softball question. It's a joke segment that offers ZERO insight.

i gotta admit, chad dukes really pissed me off yesterday with his campbell comments. hes bashed campbell so much, then he kisses the dudes ass on his show telling him he thinks hes gonna be an all pro QB, just somewhere else.

pretty lame dukes, if youre gonna make claims, stand by them.

[duenni]

they are actually right!!! the make some valid points!! I would boycot the Danny by not going! Unfortunatelly I live in Switzerland and don't get to go anyway!!

[Probos]

Lovin their show even more. I've been downloading the POD casts.

:cool:

[markmx]

The truth hurts you I see!

Could you explain what you mean?

If you mean that I need 4 hours for radio everyday to tell me that Snyder and Vinny are horrible for this organization then you are wrong.

It is for that reason however that I find the show incessantly boring, there is simply nothing new here that I didn't know already.

That and the fact that Chad makes comments about stats and just basic football knowledge constantly that is simply incorrect.

Serious? It is called ratings. There is no conspiracy theory. 106.7's goal is to make money. It's main objective is not to discredit and distract the Skins. It is about driving listeners to the station.

[DCskinFAN]

I just meant the timing of it.. The interview was done some time ago

So, you say there is no conspiracy, yet they planned this for ratings and to drive listeners to the station? Sounds like if that's the case, the conspiracy theory involving 106.7 is true.

Ratings. They know their act is old with the new regime in-town.

[jbowman]

I guess you can put me in the camp of not liking Lavar's radio show. It's what prompted me to start www.hatethegame.net - of course that's on hiatus now while I work on some other things. All 60 comics up to date are available for viewing though :)

[Hiro]

This show has made me hate Lavar. I lost respect for him and disowned him as a Redskin after the crap he pulled with New York, but the way he has galavanted around as if he's a former Redskin great along the lines of Doc Walker and Brian Mitchell has just pissed me off.

He's an *** clown and nothing close to being a true Redskin. For all of Portis' off the field antics and interviews have ticked me off, he did far more for our franchise than Lavar ever did, and Portis still has stuff left to offer. Lavar is a failure of a businessman and a crappy person for hanging his ex-employees out to dry like he did.

wise is a joke. im back to 980. sheehan is still pretty good and i really like czaben and polin, as long as they stick to sports i care about, IE NOT college basketball.

dukes and lavar are just lame now. lavar is so high on himself its embarrassing to listen to. and dukes just adds to it by agreeing with him 99% of the time.

[Unforgiven]

A few people already mentioned it, it's all about ratings. They've managed to pull ahead of 980 in the ratings and want to do whatever they can to stay ahead. It's a business move, pretty simple stuff.

I agree Wise is a complete dope. Im not too keen on LaVar either but Dukes has actually grown on me as much as I hate to admit that.

I still despise the 980 clowns...Pollie and Zabe, they goof around 90% of the time and seem to rarely talk serious about sports...i havent listened to them in months maybe its different now.

they do goof around a bit but its usually about stuff i find funny. when they do talk about sports its 10x more interesting than dukes and lavar. and i usually only listen for about 30-45 minutes per day.

I'm in my car a good 6-8 hours a day, for work and other reasons, and 980 is so far above The Fan as far as listenability goes. If 106.7 is beating 980 in the ratings it's because they were the new thing. I just don't see how that lasts. Before 106.7 made the switch I never listened to 980 but faced with having to choose between two sports talk stations, I've made my choice.

[Gibbsisgod2006]

Yeah wise is a dope I think they need to bring in Brian Mitchell and Al koken and let them do a miday show and maybe throw in Bill Rolen in their too and move Holden Kushner back in the evening. I like both stations but I don't like the fact that in the afternoon that Andy an Czabe talk about menusha sometimes and it is annoying.

You are the best on this forum when it comes to making stuff up or stretching what someone says to make it fit whatever you're opinion is.



With that said, everything on 106.7 pretty much sucks and I only listen on commercial breaks from other stations. No clue how Mike Wise is still on the radio.

[kmast000]

Once they figure out that Wise's low ratings were not because of Rolen he will be dumped. Id rather listen to Kevin and Rock from the weekends then Wise. Kushner is somewhat entertaining though.

And Dukes was better as a talk radio guy. Big O and Dukes was ten times better.
