I like BMac as a host. He seems to move around quite a bit but is mostly on Late Hitsits. The best show by far is no longer on the air. In the first year Schein was paired with John Riggins. It was the best pairing the station has ever had in my opinion. I like Schein but he can be a bit overwhelming at times and neither Solly or Miller can fit the bill as well as Riggo did. Riggins was friggin crazy and his off the wall personality really fit well with Schein.I suppose I like the Opening Drive as much as any of them.
That was indeed a great pairing Munchkin. I missed Riggins a lot last season and I think Adam did as well. He's kind of seemed to struggle with the rotating sidekicks since, but I think Solly does a great job and Jim a very good one.Kirwan is the top horse in the stable but I rarely get a chance to listen to him so I'll go with the Blitz as my favorite show. That and any show Jerry Rice is NOT on. Phenomenal WR, horrible (though improved) radio personality.
I would have to say "Moving the Chains" with PK and Tim Ryan is the best. They offer expert analysis along with some great humor. There are very few analysts that have a talent for explaining complex football concepts to the casual fan. Excellent show and I highly recommend listening.
I love this two guys together. I am however glad that they do not do the ladies hour any more. There is only so much of Tim Ryan talking about getting in the "A" gap that I can take. If you listen to Kirwan he also gives some great insight into who you should start on your fantasy team just by talking X's & O's
Every time I listen to Gil all I ever hear is "Is what it amounts to". He has a few sayings that he uses so often and out of context that I also find him very hard to listen to.
and it's close cousin..............".....is what it is....."
i don't really pay alot of attention to who is who, but i'm assuming that adam shein is the guy that's always say "....and we are FIRED UP on a football [insert day of week]!!!!"he is a bit obnoxious, but i think there is a place for him. i couldn't take if there was more than 1 guy like him, but it's nice to hear a guy that just loves football. obviously, he goes overboard, but i think i like him no matter how ridiculous it is. (and he's the one that started calling the jags "america's team" and i like that)
Best part of the Chiefs sucking this year is that I dont have to put up with Bam Bam calling in every 1/2 hourFor hardcore knowledge, Tim and Pat can't be beaten. I learn something new every day from them.
My one must-listen segment of the week is the picks with Adam and Jim on the Afternoon Blitz at 6:05pm every Friday. Totally gets me pumped up for the weekend. "ALRIGHT JIM MILLER..... IN LOVELY WESTERN NEW YORK"
Every show would be better if they never opened up the phone lines. 90% of the callers are annoying, or morons, or both.
Amen RN.
Ditto. Adam does get on my nerves, but on the whole he's ok, I do like Solly though. Unfortunately, I leave to early in the morning and get stuck with replays of either the blitz I heard on the way home, the barber shop, which I don't like much, or Moving the chains, which I do like.Randy is OK, he just needs an extra cup of coffee, he sounds totally bored most of the time.
Agreed! This guy calls EVERY show. Okay, we get it, you like football.Best part of the Chiefs sucking this year is that I dont have to put up with Bam Bam calling in every 1/2 hourFor hardcore knowledge, Tim and Pat can't be beaten. I learn something new every day from them.

Agreed. 75% of the callers are complete losers.
They do the re runs of the Fantasy Football show on Saturday AMs, not sure what time it starts but I do listen to it on my way to work -- from 6ish to 7:30 ish
This was pretty much the evolution of my opinion of Schein as well. I don't know who it is, but the only thing that annoys me is a guy that says nearly every player in the league "is going to be a good player for a long time in this league" (I know I've said that already here once) by the end of this season I think he will have covered everyone in the NFL and then some.I got Sirius for Howard Stern but totally love the service for a lot of stuff outside of him now too.NFL Radio is my #3 option behind H100 and H101. I listen to it all the time. I like the Morning Drive because I think Randy Cross is quite opinionated and while I don't always agree with what he says, he clearly isn't concerned with stepping on the toes of other players or management in the NFL.The Afternoon Blitz is my 2nd fav show. Adam Shine is priceless. His delivery is so over the top that at first listen you think he's just a gimmicky baffoon with no substance (see: Glanville, Jerry) but then when you listen more you realize he's a good dude with a lot of knowledge and just has a colourful delivery.Great service, keeps me sane during the NFL off-season. Two thumbs up.
Bingo on both counts. I can't even comment on Rice anymore because I refuse to listen to him. I haven't done so in over a year. As soon as I hear his name announced as the co-host, I change the channel. He is without question THE WORST radio "talent" I've ever heard. I don't know what Steve Cohen was thinking with that hire. Okay, he's a big name. Great. But once you hear that he provides almost no meaningful insight in between the "ummmmmms"... why not correct your mistake and cut him loose?The Barber Shop isn't even worth any more of my keystokes. The show is a completeJeff Pasquino said:
Man, I agree that Riggo was awesome, but Solly has come a long way. When he is out that show struggles. Still my favorite. I love the picks with Adam and Jim, but the MUST LISTEN in my opinion is 5:00 Friday with Chad Johnson. That is the most entertaining stuff in sports. He says something new each week, and he doesn't hold back. He is funny and just a great listen. I don't own CJ in any league, but love to listen to the guy. If I am going to be out of my car, I have my radio on, and I rewind it to listen to that segment. It is spectacular.Best part of the Chiefs sucking this year is that I dont have to put up with Bam Bam calling in every 1/2 hourFor hardcore knowledge, Tim and Pat can't be beaten.

That's the idea. You remembered it, didn't you? He has a cadence, like a QB. Say Sirius NFL Radio... Say Sirius NFL Radio... Say Sirius NFL Radio. It's all about product recognition. He's simply a good company man.
It's even funnier when he calls a different host "Papa"
My favorite show is definitely Papa and Sharpe. I used to like Steve Cohen and Cris Carter when they were on a few seasons ago.
Pat Kirwin and Tim Ryan are the S#I#!!I would have to say "Moving the Chains" with PK and Tim Ryan is the best. They offer expert analysis along with some great humor. There are very few analysts that have a talent for explaining complex football concepts to the casual fan. Excellent show and I highly recommend listening.
Can't stand Adam Schein. I appreciate his love of the game but I seriously think the man has a drinking problem. Of course the problem might be that I am not drinking enough when I listen to him. The guy jumps on and off bandwagons every week and if any caller has a different opinion they are being a fan and not being reasonable. The condescending tone he uses is almost unbearable. I can't tell how many times I have heard him say "You just made a wonderful point!" and then proceed to tell the guy what the point is.I like Pat Kirwan but why do I feel like I am interrupting a phone sex hotline anytime a lady calls in?
Jerry Rice - great WR, terrible host. Jim Miller has good insights, but says "No question" way too much. Afternoon Blitz on Friday at 6:05 ET is THE BEST 30 minutes of radio on radio (terrestrial or otherwise).My only complaint with Sirius at all is that they don't podcast their NFL content, especially that Fantasy show on Fridays with Adam Kaplan.Sirius NFL is enough to keep me subscribed for a loooong time.
Could not agree more. Jerry Rice's inability to get through a sentence without multiple 'uh's and 'y'know's is horrible. His use of 'duh' for 'the' as well as 'dis' 'dat' and 'dem' is reminiscent of the old black and white movies that made fun of african americans. He is utterly unlistenable, and as others have said, I have to change the station when he is on. The other ex-athletes on regularly are reasonably to very well-spoken. Why they keep Rice on is one of the mysteries of the age.
Not to beat the Jerry Rice thing to death, because I concur with all of the Rice bashing, but I think I know why they haven't pulled the pliug on him. The meathead callers love him. He's a really nice guy on the phone and will say stuff like "So how's it going man?" and "How's your day going so far?" and he really comes across as genuine. Most of the callers (whom I agree should be limited) gush over the opportunity to speak live on the line with one of the living legends of the NFL and perhaps one of the most popular athletes of the modern era. Forget Dallas as America's team. In the 80's if you jumped ship on your hometown team because they sucked, well guess who you rooted for, yes that's right, Montana and Rice and those Niners. I prefer my hosts to be coherent but lots of people are googly eyed over the star factor and that probably won't go away, especially when that guy is super nice to boot.
Kirwan reminds me of the guy everyone knows that is and old playa from the 70's. He's in his 50's now and can still pimp. He probably has a hot 38yo on the side and likes to drink Scotch. He has the ability to vocally molest a lady over the phone lines.
