Gavin is currently barring up as the panel talk to some slow talking GWS nuff nuff.

This is going to happen all year.

I just fired off an email telling them to shove their AFL talk.

They had two guys on today, the first said that he hasn't called for a long time and thinks that the NRL song should be "It's raining men" no he wasn't joking, he was a bit upset when his idea was rejected, f**k me.
The second was this guy, who after 13 years of the competition being called the NRL wondered why a New Zealand team is in, because after all NZ is international, and Perth have nore right to be there than NZ

Standard for talkin sport.
With 2UE back on board with sports today and 2MMM now on the scene there will be alot more variety.
Gibbs and Brandy know there stuff and have strong opinions and are not scared to call it how it is.
I know when i am driving home i will be surfing between 2UE and 2MMM big time and will only listen to the dingbat callers on 2SM only sparingly.

I do find it unusual, as someone else mentioned, that there has been an increase in the number of people down south of the NSW border ringing into Sydney radio stations to promote AFL. None of the Melbourne radio stations would ever allow the reverse of that to happen.

Like Brayshaw being planted on the Ch9 cricket commentary team this summer by Browne et al., do you think that Robertson has either been planted on 2SM or has been secretly paid by the AFL or GWS to spruik the GWS franchise? Or do you think it is Robbo being genuinely passionate about his love for AFL?

As far as I know Robbo is a paid employee of GWS. If he didn't work on a Sydney radio station, on a sports show, he wouldn't be.

If he actually likes AFL, I don't have a drama with that, the drama is that the vast majoity of his audience couldn't give a f**k about it, and that's why I don't listen any more.

Didn't Robbo cream himself when Shannon Noll was on the show (given Noll is an AFL supporter)?

Robbo bloke made me sick 'Taker, nothing would surprise me in that regard. If I ever hear him say "back yourself" again, I'll put a drill through my ear drums.

f**king pansy.

LMAO at this:

:lol:Some big hearty gaffaws were let out whilst listening to this. Man, how low can you go? Seriously, I couldn't believe what I was listening to. Dunno why Hughesy went off at Adrian, yet seemed very nonplussed in this clip. No one gives a stuff about Australian baseball. That caller must be an absolute baseball diehard. Never heard an Australian speaking so passionately about baseball before. MAJOR LEAGUE BORING! Give me a boring game of cricket any day of the week over baseball.

As has been mentioned earlier, I know 2SM makes the boast that it gives every caller a fair go, but I personally think there needs to be some tweaking done to that motto. They really need to start censoring certain callers.

That is not a caller, that is a regular (BORING) baseball segment on Tuesdays at 530. Thank god sports today is back tonight.

Resignated.

Is a word just used by today's news reader lol

They had big issues today. The stream dropped out for 30 minutes and their was a strange time warp moment when a caller was talking, then faded into the background with robbo and tunksy talking about something completely different superimposed over it

Still like the show though and will continue to listen.

Listening to Adrian and Graeme go at it today was a highlight. Adrian loves to give it to him and not be a suck up

No more Kurt and Phill from Dubbo for me in the 6-7pm period.

I've basically got it on 2UE now, although I'll likely to switch back to 2SM more often when DUI is on.

Anyone else see the irony of Sydney folk talking about "expansion" country clubs taking the place of old existing clubs because they might be stronger or better for the game or whatever?
