Zach Zaidman: Anytime he gives an answer in which he asks, then answers, his own question.

This works for Mulligan too.

Bernstein does have guys at the organizations, but they are all media guys

Whenever O'Bradovich says "I'll tell you what...."

And Hub. It's a very annoying crutch that a lot of radio folks lean on.

Any time that Mulligan says "on the way out" during an interview. That bothers the hell out of me.

This is the bullshit that media people think makes someone a good interviewer. I could care less if they say that shit. Ask a question that makes the guy squirm a little, then follow it up. If the person says "I dont want to answer that" then you can drop it.

Baffone

In the spirit and tradition of the classic drinking game "Bob", I thought I would see what would happen if we applied it to radio hosts. I am amazed by the redundancy of phrases and presentations by on air talent that I thought it might be worth getting feedback. For those not sure of the game here's a reminder. If you remember Bob Papa who was the voice of games on the NFL Network, you'll remember his love of the phrase "in space". Each time he said it, you did a shot. You were probably buzzed by the end of the first quarter. Here are some that I've come to notice:

Zach Zaidman: Anytime he gives an answer in which he asks, then answers, his own question.

Doug Baffone: Anytime he uses the phrase "stop yourself". Or, anytime he says "Ya gotta take a look at..."

Mike Greenburg: Any reference to partner Mike Golic's weight.

This one will have you drunk in minutes: Ron Jaworski and any mention he makes of looking at tape.

If you've got some others I'd love to see them.
