I listen to sports talk because I want mindless information. I like hearing people complain about the Eagles, bash the Phillies, get excited about the Sixers or gloat about the Flyers. I realize many of the fans who call up are stupidly loyal to their teams. I know this because I’m stupidly loyal to my teams.Įver since I was in high school, sports radio was my go to station. I enjoy music as much as the next guy but Jody McDonald and Glen Macnow got me to and from Temple University every day. Rhea Hughes, when she had her solo show, went with me to Saturday morning track meets throughout South Jersey. I’ve sat in more traffic jams with Howard Eskin than I have with my wife.Īnd every night when I leave work, I listen to the Phillies postgame show or Joe Giglio, who does a fantastic show. I enjoy nitwit chatter, I enjoy humorous outlooks on sports, I like listening to the brand of sports talk we grew up on. What some might consider lazy radio, I consider the stuff I grew up on, and still enjoy hearing.īut when Innes was on, I couldn’t listen to him. But I was never interested in what he was pushing. I don’t turn on sports radio to hear deep issues, and I certainly don’t turn it on to listen to someone try and be funny about deep issues. Maybe if he was a stand up comedian, I would appreciate his attempts at humor more, but when he’s making these jokes on a sports talk radio station, it just comes off as bad, and in many cases, in bad taste. I don’t want bits, I don’t want acts, I don’t want to be uncomfortable listening to sports talk. People don’t listen to be offended, they listen because it’s easy and it’s supposed to be fun. I also don’t think Innes helped himself on social media.
