Talking Odell Beckham trade now. I'm expecting the Anti NBA crowd to scream bloody murder because of it. |

You can talk out of town football any time of the year as football is pretty much the king of sports. It's the one sport that every sports radio listener follows. If you don't follow football, then you probably don't tune into sports radio in the 1st place. |

Or at least it was when I routinely listened to Chicago sports radio. |

If it's an unusual story, sure ... but if it's just 'hey, look at his stat line yet again', m'eh. You've hit on the crux of the problem with Goff and Bernstein basketball talk. It was essentially one note. It wasn't "Basketball Talk" as it was Lebron Love. Their basketball talk was too Lebron centric. That is what I remember about it. Every discussion devolved into a celebration or coronation of Lebron James. I like basketball but even i hated that shit. There is much more to the NBA than that. They also performed the lazy radio job of only concerning themselves with "winners". For guys who profess to like the league they sure didn't provide much in the way of variety. |

I'm sure they worked in a Bears slant to the Beckham discussion. I have seen a few fucking idiots suggest the Bears give up # 8 overall for him...that being said, he probably would be the perfect receiver for what Nagy wants to do. |

He didn’t call HIM a misogynist, but said some people might view the comment as misogynistic. And he’s right. I had a female student last year who gave an entire speech on the subject. Annoying 5 minute rant. |

I'd say M&H's decade plus run of ratings success supports this as once again, their show is football heavy. |

Heck, the promo that just played on my Alexa stream was Holmes talking out of town NFL about who the Colts should grab in the 1st round. Clearly it draws ears. |

Has nothing to do with Football. Murphy drew strong ratings and didn't know shit about football. North drew strong ratings and rarely talked sports let alone football. |

Even if your premise that out-of-town NBA talk is superior to out-of-town NFL talk, B&G's way of discussing out-of-town NBA was off-putting. That likely contributed more to listener's disdain to NBA discussion than the topic itself. |

Silvy and Waddle talk out of town basketball and do just fine in the ratings. It can't be out of town basketball. There is more interest in the NBA than there is Odell Beckham. I'm certain of that. |

All you have to do is look at the ratings for a Thursday night Texans/Dolphins game compared to a Thursday night Rockets/Heat game to realize that out of town NFL talk will draw far more interest. |

Off season Odell Beckham doesn't draw more interest than NBA,playoff talk. In addition is the fact that they profess to have a disdain for any talk that is "out of town" based. Why the silence on out of town NFL talk with that being the case? |
