The fantasy show on Fridays is great and they replay it Saturday mornings. My favorite part of the show is with out a doubt Cosell. He does not seem to hold anything back when talking about players, which is rather refreshing coming from a national figure.
100% truth right there!
This!If you are a football head or want to be a football head this is hands down the best show to listen to. They also give you a lot off ijnfo before anyone else.
I'm a LONG time subscriber. Since 2003. I could not survive without it. When I'm forced to listen to 'terrestrial' radio, I want to throw the friggin thing out the window. Shein is a character, but you've got some serious football experts on there. I like Jim Miller the best. I would recommend the stiletto. That thing is awesome. Plus they stream most of their content over the internet, which the stiletto picks up via WIFI. The built in antenna for walking around though is kind of weak, so govern your expectations in using that.The fantasy show on NFL network on friday nights is ok. Those guys play tons of commercials, though so the stiletto comes in handy there. I can record the whole thing then skip over that garbage. They don't take 'who should i start questions', which I don't quite understand. That's what 80% of the people want to know who are listening. I like Caplan, but that guy has a real short fuse and badgers the callers when they don't limit their call to 1 player or violate the WDIS restriction. It gets annoying sometimes.Bottom line, GO GET IT. The year round NFL coverage alone is worth the price.
You're BigFoot You Are.
This Guy cracks me up every single time he says that. When ever I hear Gil talk, I think of sitting down with your Grandpa and listening to his old war stories.

Kind of doesn't even start to describe how bad he is. Randy Cross has gotten better in the mornings, even though I'd like to kick Peter King in the jewels. He's annoying too. Maybe its just all East Coast media thats annoying since they don't realize there are teams besides the Giants, Jets, Skins, Pats, and Iggles to talk about.loose circuits said:
True. But he knows his football and has some great stories. Second only in listening enjoyment to Ryan and Kirwan.Buddy Ball 2K3 said:
Yeah, channel 124 is the continual NFL chatter.During the season you get home/away game feeds on various surrounding channels, like 125, 126, or whatever.

I can't understand how you (or ANY NFL fan) could think this? T-Rock and PK are the main cogs in the Sirius NFL radio wheel. Their interviews are top notch, and their breakdowns of X's and O's for the listeners is better than any of their counterparts. Plus, they don't sugarcoat anything.
That is a very good idea.
I think Adam Schein would be pissy that Lammey stole his shtick.That is a very good idea.
If you enjoy the sport and the businees behind it (and really the history of the business), Gil is flat out sick. First off, he remembers every prospect over the last 45 years and what their deal was. I will never forget, one of his old Cowboys was on the show with him and they were talking contracts in general. Gil goes "didn't we give you a Buick as a sign on?"...mind you this is 40 years ago...whoever the player was, was flat out shocked Brandt remembered. I think the station is wonderful and love all the shows (except when they had Rice and the Barber Shop...those two shows were amateur hour.
It starts in July.

Whatever they are annoying and the callers are even worse. Plus they tend to dismiss a lot of valuable stats and numbers, for stuff like "he's a football player" blah blah blah which is not exactly cutting edge imo
earlier in this thread I wrote "Wow I can't believe people actually like Ryan and Kirwan. Pretty much all the analysts are the same on NFL radio. Trying too hard to be old school. Kinda sound like the game has passed them by some. But, it's well worth it for the breaking news, interviews with all the coaches and players, and of course all the games."It's still worth it even if you think Ryan and Kirwan are nothing special as I do
The stiletto can be bought at Best Buy. My wife purchased me one for Christmas. I previously had the sportster.Sirius will give you some pretty good deals on the stiletto, currently around $269, Best Buy will match...radio shack also carries them. Here is how I use my stiletto.Stiletto offers a wifi connection, so I can listen at home, work, or out and about and have access to all my stations. I actually listen while doing yard work, or using a Y-adapter connect it to my home stereo.Stilleto also come with antenna headphones which allow you to listen using the satellite, so you can wear the 80's headphones on walks, in the yard, at the stadium, just need a line of sight. I will actually place my radio outside in the am, before I walk my dogs and record the Stern show. I can then listen "on Demand" at the gym.The antenna connection allows you to record songs and shows, and the stilleto will actually record programming for you. So if you listen to a particular station, it will download content(music) to your player.In my car, because it is using an antenna...i can record, pause, rewind with a touch of the button. Stilleto also has capacity for a MicroSD card, I have a 4 GB card and have MP3s, podcasts, etc loaded. 2GB included in the player, I believe.You can also move the recorded songs from your player to another device as an MP3...uh free download. The quality is acceptable.Saying all that, I love that thing and would dread having to listen to regular radio. This is a problem, because I always want to drive so I have my Sat radio.
