For fans of "Moving the Chains" on Sirius NFL Radio (1 Viewer)

Raider Nation

Devil's Advocate
Anyone listen to T-Rock working the 49ers/Cardinals broadcast today?

TWICE, he referred to Sam Rosen (his play-by-play partner in the booth) as "Pat" by mistake. :lmao:

Can't wait to see if PK or a caller gives him a hard time about it tomorrow.

 
Their show is by far the best one on NFL radio, and they give some of the best insight into the game.

CAN. NOT. WAIT. for it every afternoon. I learn something from them every day.They also have a great rapport and are respectful to the callers... something Adam Schein should take notice of.
 
I recently was on a family trip, and was in for a long drive. I listened the Movin the chain for the whole 4 hrs for a couple of days, and never once considered changing it. When Schein comes on, I am done in like 15 minutes.

Wasnt one of them an NFL GM?

(I admit I really know nothing about them)

Pat was GM of the Jets in the 90's. The Keyshawn era.Tim was a stud DT at USC, then played for the Bears. I believe injuries cut his career short. He married a Raiderette. :mellow:

;) I love it when Kirwan sometimes sounds bummed out when the caller hangs up and he still wants to talk to them. Schien seems like he can't hang up fast enough.

What's your secret? I struggle with listening to the promos for his show.
 
For me, the only way I can even STOMACH Adam Schein is now he has Rich Gannon. Schein is THE most annoying person on Sports Radio next to Jim Rome in my mind.

I think he is a TOOL!

There...I feel better.

And here I thought I was the only one. His voice is so annoying. His football intelligence is questionable and the whole Jax= America's team is asinine
 
Love the show, and would really like to call in and get some more Falcon talk going, but my drive home is only 45 minutes. If you don't have an hour and a half to be on hold, you're not getting on. That's why they have a lot of truckers on.

Still the best show going.

 
I could only stomach about 20 minutes today. I would bet Riggins left because he wanted to strangle this guy.

I know that was off topic, so I will say I think moving the chains is GREAT

Falcon fan "Connor in Atlanta" is one of my favorite callers. Very knowledgeable. "Eric in New Jersey" is a GREAT Raiders caller.

No, buddy, you are not alone at all. He is an absolute clown.Someone needs to tell that guy that when EVERYTHING is incredible, then nothing is incredible. When EVERYTHING is amazing, then nothing is amazing. When EVERYTHING is excellent, nothing is excellent. You get the point... So many things that are going to be NON STOP, are barely touched on.He is rude to the callers, he is rude to the guys being interviewed, and even rude to whoever is on the show with him. Because all he cares about is spewing his hyperbole and he will interrupt anyone else to get it in. It gets to the point where Gannon or Mills interrupts their guests as well just so they can squeeze a question in. I've also heard him on a few occasions blatantly lie about a caller who he claims he "documented" the caller had called in and said something. Of course, he cuts them (along with everyone else) off the air so they can't defend themselves.I'm all for passion and excitement, but when it becomes schtick then you lose all credibility. How can a station that has Tim Ryan and Pat Kirwan on one end of the spectrum make the decision to have Adam Schein? He is the Ted Baxtor of the NFL network and I seriously doubt they ever have the demographic in any time slot of a serious NFL broadcast that consists of idiots that aren't insulted by having to listen to that joke.Well, I think his time slot is over so it's time for me to tune back in.
 
And back on topic, Moving the Chains is awesome. Tim Ryan (T-Rock) and Pat Kirwan (P.K.) are my favorites on a station with so much NFL talent. Half the time I have no idea what they are talking about when they start getting into X's and O's of football, but eventually I catch on... :thumbup:

 
Can you download podcasts after the fact?
They are not Podcasts. Sirius is a pay only Satellite radio station. If you have a subscription you can record the shows (with some of the radios) and listen later but it is not a freebie.
 
I listen to the show on my way home everyday. I love it. This was the first place I heard the HC of the Lions speak. I liked the guy's attitude and this was before he put up his 1st win. great show.

Earlier this week, both guys said they expected Cleveland to beat Buffalo this week. This was before the Edwards trade. Anybody know if they still feel that way. I was kind of surprised that both guys went that way even with Braylon in Cleveland - now I just don't see it.

I know this is late but I heard that. ;)Sidenote: I always thought Pat Kirwan was black until I saw him on tv :)

I love NFL radio on Sirius. Moving The Chains is great.

I also can't stand Adam Schein. He tries way too hard to seem uber-enthusiastic. It comes across as fake.

He reminds me of Penn Gillette with his delivery.

They both are still picking Cleveland. I agree with you, I'm on Buffalo.

My favorite is:Schein: "Let's go to our GOOD FRIEND Joe Blow in Anytown, USA"Joe Blow: "Hi guys... first-time caller."
 
I want to jump into my radio and strangle Schein when I hear him say "Warm it up Chris" to any caller named Chris

 
T rock and pk rule. Schein is a clown and he acts like he loves the callers when he really despises them but I admit I miss when he and Miller did their 6pm picks on Fridays last year. Great high energy entertainment. Upset special!

I really don't mind the guy. I first started listening to Sports Radio in NJ listening to Mike and the Mad dog, so his "NY tendencies of being short with callers that don't really know what they are talking about, don't bother me. When I first moved to NC, it was painful listening to the "nice" talk show hosts here as they just let lame callers linger...if you don't know what you are talking about, get off the phone!Also, I too thought he was a little fake, but he is never down. They guy is amped every day, so either he is relentless in his pursuit of perfection of his personality (which I admire), or that is just who he is. PK is my favorite, but I just think all these guys just blend together...I can be listening for an hour and not have a clue who the hosts are.

Good points about Schein as far as losing guys that don't have anything to say, although he pretty much does that to anybody. But you know, not everything is "absolutely incredible". It's fake and it's schtick and there's no intelligence to what the guy says. All hype. If you admire that, then be good to it.Some of the guys tend to blend together, especially the ex players. Ryan and Kirwan definitely do not fall into that category. Some times I have to listen carefully to discern if I'm listening to Mills or Gannon, and the same with Banks and Tucker. But the good thing is all these guys that blend together all have one thing in common, they are knowledgeable and enjoyable to listen to. I'll take that over "unique" any day.

 
PK and T-Rock are far the best

I used to like Schein, but have grown tired of his crap. They need to give Mills & Ross Tucker that show. Ross Tucker has really grown on me and I think he's the 3rd best personality on that station. Gil Brandt is like an encyclopedia of football knowledge. He even knew that Roy Williams mother works at the Best Buy in Texas. While he doesn't always have it right, how can you blame him at his age?

Agree on Ross Tucker. He started out kind of weak, but he he gelled a bit and resonates a lot better than before. The guy graduated from Princeton so chances are he's pretty intelligent.Gil Brandt. What can I say? I don't want to diss "The Godfather" but rambling on about obscure trivial facts that some stat guru supplies to him doesn't do much for me. "And did you know... that since the league started keeping these kinds of records in 1972, that only 3 defensive tackles...". But he's old and he is the Godfather so we love him like he was our own...

And he (Brandt) says, "That's what it amounts to." about three times in every discussion!
 
I like Ryan, I really do, but I'd like to hear Pat and Wilcotts for a week or two. Solly is a top guy for me.

I love you guys.I wish there was a feature where I could just listen to Gannon and mute Schein
 
Their show is by far the best one on NFL radio, and they give some of the best insight into the game.
CAN. NOT. WAIT. for it every afternoon. I learn something from them every day.They also have a great rapport and are respectful to the callers... something Adam Schein should take notice of.
:lmao: I love it when Kirwan sometimes sounds bummed out when the caller hangs up and he still wants to talk to them. Schien seems like he can't hang up fast enough.
Tim and Pat are awesome. I think a lot of you in this thread are being really hard on Adam Schien though. He's entertaining and has passion for football. I like him. He keeps the show moving along and yes, does get thru calls more quickly. But I still like him.Tim and Pat have so much wisdom between them, you can't help but learn. Great show.

I tell you the morning show combo I love most is when they get Peter King on with Papa and Randy Cross. They have a lot of fun and like Tim and Pat, you can't help but learn something when Peter opens his mouth. He's fascinating. Good singer too. :shock:

That's pretty much a non-issue. It was touched on, but I personally couldn't care what he does with callers. He is just a complete zero. This morning:

Gil Brandt: "Peyton Manning is a great quarterback and is having a great season so far".

Schein: "Wow, that's really STRONG and GREAT stuff right there!"

Me: :) <CLICK>

He doesn't even think about what he's saying. Peyton Manning is a great quarterback = strong stuff? Really? It's obvious all that guy cares about is the inflection in his voice and chucking out his hyperbole schtick. I'll say this - There is definitely a place for Adam Schein in sports broadcasting. We are a simple race and his crap definitely resonates with a large percentage of the populace. I just don't think a serious NFL station is the place for it and I turn the channel when he's on. Jeez, put him on TV where he belongs and let him make more money! Just because you make your voice sound excited "NON STOP" and can spew facts sprinkled with AMAZING hyperbole does not make you a decent sports analyst.

 
Schein sucks, pure and simple. He's like a WWF announcer doing sports talk.

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Sirius NFL Radiooooooooooooo!"

 
Jim Miller is on with Gannon instead of the idiot today. If you get a second, email siriusblitz@sirius-radio.com and give Jim Miller a big vote of approval over Adam Schein. It's so nice to get true NFL talk instead of the fricken' inane hype and hyperbole.

Kirwan and Ryan are the best but these guys don't get enough props. Listening to Randy Cross on the radio really changed my opinion of him. I couldn't stand him when he would do a game but now I really enjoy listening to him. Love the exchanges he has with the studio guys. Did anyone hear when Peter King was trying to do the "Bob Papa" drops just like the radio voice guy? Pretty funny stuff.

I used to hate Schein as well but now..Schein cracks me up, mostly because I assume he means the opposite of everything that he says and is being sarcastic. He is truly a caricature of himself.

Anyone remember the spot he used to do for Rosanne and whatever casino they were plugging? It was a classic. It was the old talk to the recorded voice like it was a real interview schtick. It was even funnier when you would hear another radio host (I think it was Randy Cross )do the same thing to the same recorded voice later in the day.
