Warm it up Chris!!!
His schtick is really bad. And he treats all callers like he is the king of football. Very rude, pretty much an ### toanyone that questions his thoughts, or take....He hangs up on anyone that questions him.
I used to like him, when he and wilcots were paired, but now, I love listening to Pat and Tim. Those guys are football guys. They dumb it down for ya without making you feel like you're an idiot. Good approach by those two...

I believe I am in the minority, but I actually like the guy. He adds as much value as any of the other guys who did not play the sport, and he gets people fired up to call in. Sure it can be over-the-top, but he is so consistent with it, you really can't call it an "act".
I also like that he puts callers in their place. I grew up on 660 FAN in NY and am used to the "quick hook" when callers who really do not know what they are doing call in. Moved to Raleigh about 11 years ago and definitely noticed they were more tolerant with novices. On the NFL network...it can get ridiculous. Sure, I understand there will be callers who do not get to their point quick enough and it does not have to get all Jim Rome about having "your take" and blitzing through some points. On the flipside, it SHOULD NOT be about "Why does Eli Manning look so discouraged all the time" or that "Minnesota always has a good defense because it is in their tradition"...that kind of talk is just ignorance, and Schein is one of the few people who calls callers out on that type of crap. If you are going to sit on the phone on hold for an hour to state that "Dallas should have 9-10 yards a carry with those RBs and run the ball 90% of the time" (which is actually a call I heard), just hang up and save yourself the time. It dumbs down the program and at least one guy is willing to nix it...and in short, that is why I like Adam Schein...BTW did you know IT IS A FOOTBALL FRIDAY, MILLS!?!?!?!

Words really can't express how much of a ##### this guy is. To me, he embodies everything that is wrong with his profession: ridiculous antics, near total ignorance of his field, fake machismo, unbelievably annoying voice (seriously, he sounds like a caricature doing a caricature of a caricature), you name it, he sucks at it.
Douches ad Infinitum like him and Cowherd really make me appreciate the few good ones like Cecil and Mike & Mike.

My curiosity lies in the percentage of people that (at a minimum) dislike Schein. Let's face it, he has a kick ### job. How does he keep his job with 80% of the viewers disliking his antics and voice?
It is also interesting that there are no neutral votes. Looks like he is very polarizing, you love him or hate him....

I used to listen to the sports radio stations in Raleigh, and I know what you are talking about. It would get really bad.As for the NFL Network on Sirius/XM, I refuse to listen to it anymore. Every show seems to be full of callers who just go on and on about their team and the hosts allow them to do so. I have found myself screaming "JUST ASK THE QUESTION!!" multiple times.I hate Adam Schein though, and it's almost entirely because of his terrible radio voice. It's obnoxious.

Here's the thing: all his bosses care about is listeners per 15m cause that's what they sell to advertisers. The guys on my local, Jox94.5, are literally the worst I have ever heard. Biggest bunch of clueless, obnoxious, and worst of all self-righteous losers I have ever heard. Literally, ever. One guy called up and called Favre a drama queen and would have thought he called Mother Teresa a whore. They jumped all over this guy and could not wait to name drop that they had actually "spoken" to Favre and met him at some golf tournament. They not only represent the worst in sports broadcasting with rampant homerism, they pretty much represent the worst in humanity (well, civilized humanity). But I have absolutely no choice who to listen to because they are the only sports show in town. So they get to count me, who absolutely #######g hates every single one of them and would consider them getting replaced by standard ESPN radio a HUGE blessing even if the replacement never once mentioned a team within 100 miles of me.Same thing goes for Schein: he doesn't get listeners, the NFL does, just like losers on the Roundtable and morning drive don't have fans, football does. Fans of SEC/NFL simply have to tolerate these idiots/losers and the endless, incessant inane crap they continue to regurgitate, in order to get news about what they do like.So, because they are not so intolerable to cause sports fans to stop listening to sports radio completely, they not only get to keep their jobs but tout their ratings, which they have zero positive effect on, as proof of how great they are to their bosses.

Hate him
His shtick is annoying and his voice is horrible. The fake laugh may be the worst.
And his knowledge of football is questionable at best. Though I do give him credit for continuing to dislike Favre for whatever reason that is. His always picking against him and the Vikes is classic but please stop calling the Jags America's team, no one cares

Getting bunches of people to hate you is just as much as skill (and just as marketable) and getting bunches of people to like you. In talk radio think of all the people with big audiences very few have nuetral public reactions: Rush, Dr. Laura, Rome, etc. are all love/hate people and many people listen to them to get pissed as crazy as that sounds.

I like to listen to Sirius NFL Radio in the car, so I *TRY* to listen when Schein is on, but I find I can only last for about 20 or 30 seconds before I have to turn him off. He is pretty much the only radio or TV personality that I just cannot listen to. There are others that annoy me, but I can at least watch or listen to the program. I think I'd rather listen to Rosanne Barr call an entire game then listen to Schein for 5 minutes.

I've had Sirius NFL radio since day 1. Hated him at first. Then he started to grow on me. Back to not liking him.
"Let's go to our GOOD FRIEND Tony in Michigan!"
"Hey guys.... first-time caller."
x100.
And when guys try to be cordial and say "Hey Adam, what's up?", he shoots back with a testy "EVERYTHING... BRING IT."
It would kill the guy to say "Not too much, how are you?" Sort of like how the class acts Tim and Pat do it.

I love when they ask him a question, and there is dead air for six seconds before he begins his answer. First time he did that, I thought they lost him. But he tries to be so thoughtful with his replies, I'm not even sure he knows he's on the air. LOL.I have been trying to find an audio clip of him, to no avail. I'd like everyone to hear the guy.

I've called and emailed Sirius to dump him. Keep him for the NYers, since thats all he talks about. I dig Gannon, but won't listen when Schein is on. He's a product of a Bill Walton, Tim McCarver, and Jim Rhome sperm cocktail.

Complete lack of credibility - and Kirwan/Ryan make his show look cheap, no offense Rich Gannon.

And I repeat: "BTW did you know IT IS A FOOTBALL FRIDAY, MILLS!?!?!?!"OH YEEEEESSSSS IT ISSSSSS!I like Schein, but I voted neutral as I didn't care for the voting options. He's not "must have" (that's Pat & Tim as many have stated) and he is over the top - but I agree with Sweet Love: he is consistent in how he presents himself at least on Sirius. I am not a Fox guy - pre or in game and with the NFL Ticket I don't waste any time watching any halftimes, so I don't know where or how Adam slots in at Fox. At the same time he is not at all a "Level-10 Dou che" where I'm left questioning how he got the job(s) he has.Sure the guy caught a break getting a sweet gig on Sirius NFL Radio - no question, but I think for a non-player he knows his stuff and is a good host for a radio program. Some have knocked him for a lack of substance and I can buy that but I'm not really sure substance is why he was hired in the first place. I consider him more of a facilitator to work the guys who actually have experience, insight or SUBSTANCE if you will, into the equation and keep the show flowing, and I think Schein does a very god job with that.I liked Schein the most when he was paired with Riggins when the show started. I did also enjoy when he worked with Wilcotts - who is good and deserved his own gig. I also like when he works with Miller. I am lukewarm on Gannon. I think he brings good insight to the table; I'm just not as excited about that pairing as previous ones mentioned.

that is exactly what annoys the living #### out of me about Tim. Also, when he is warming up a topic to hand over to Pat he has that corny way with the handoff which usuall ends in "talk about it PK"I like Schein on Sirius, he makes football even more exciting in my opinion. He gets everyone pumped for football talk.One last thing, Schein picked Dallas to finish LAST PLACE in their division before the season started... midway through the pre-season. His reason, because Wade Phillips could not outcoach any of the other coaches in the NFC East (Coughlin, Reid or Shanahan). How dead on accurate was that prediction? Everone was picking Dallas to win the division, not Schein!

I only listen to him on Sunday mornings and by then my fact gathering is pretty much done and he appeals to the emotional part of my love for football. The Tailgate Show is a part of my weekly routine and I love listening to Adam. His love for the game comes through the radio and gets you fired up.

Cant stand the "the caller is wrong and I am right and that's the way it is" BS that he pulls on basically every caller. Yes, as an analyst you know a lot about football, but not every caller who disagrees is a moron either, but with him every call is a battle.
Then put him next to Tim and Pat who have class and treat people with respect and it's a wrap... level 10 #####!
