Fuck Charch.

This shit should be relegated to 7 AM on Sundays when no reasonable person is going to be forced to listen to it.

I'm sorry you're old and boring and settled down now Boyd. :D

Let us kids still have our fun.

To be fair, fantasy football talk sucked when I was single, too.

You're in the minority, Boyd. Lots of people play it and this is the most important part of the year, FF-wise. Your FF is my Loho......PTFB.

At least Mac isn't in to rehash his superb pretend football team that he drafted last night.

Someone let me know when that basement dwelling mouthbreather is off the air so I can flip the Score back on.

At least B&B don't talk pretend sports management.

Everyone loves talking about fantasy sports, but nobody wants to hear someone else talk about fantasy sports.

Keep that shit to people that are part of your own league.

I'll even disagree with that. A FF conversation with league members is pointless in general. It's who you did/didn't play or who got injured. That's about it.

But I'm all for having an "expert" on the air for answering lineup/draft questions. If someone has a question regarding their team, more than likely it will be answered. B and B ignore it because they don't like it/participate. Doesn't mean it isn't popular.

People want to hear about your FF team about as much as they want to hear about your golf game, your son's little league baseball team or your daughter's dance recital.

Oddly enough, however, they seem to enjoy hearing about my daughter's FF team and my son's dance recital.

Agreed, FF and gambling talk suck on a real show.

There is nothing wrong with one segment per week, or two today with the onset of the season, especially when compared to the rest of the filler in a week. What the segment doesn't need, is morons calling up asking if they should keep Ray Rice or not.

I don't mind fantasy football talk about strategy, sleeper's, rankings, etc, but what I don't like is league specific questions like "who do I start?", "who should I keep?" or "who should I draft between these two players for my scoring?" - nobody cares about somebody else's league, but general fantasy football talk does bleed somewhat into NFL talk so I'm ok with that. I also can't stand WSCR hosts blabbing about their league like it's actually interesting to anyone but themselves. Again, nobody cares.

The worst is they have real football experts on and take calls from guys who are obviously asking FF questions. Like they're really Skins fans are wondering who is going to get the goal line carries

With 36 million people involved in Fantasy Football, the segments that cater to them are amongst the highest rated, if not THE highest rated segments overall. Get used to it, or PTFB!

Bullshit.

If these were the highest rated segments, you would hear drive time shows devoted solely to this topic, and not have it buried once a week in middays or Sunday morning at 7:00 AM.

We are talking about a 10 minute segment once a week, right?

Not bullshit at all. Ask mac or MJH which segments of their shows are the highest rated ones....The FF segments do great numbers. You may not care about them and wish they would go away, but they are going nowhere because advertizers want to sponsor those segments knowing the interest they produce during those time slots. Harry's show on sundays is at 8:00am buy the way, not 7:00 am. But it gets great numbers in comparison to shows in the same time slot, not in Football season. Mock it as you wish, the numbers don't lie.

No-it's a 20 minute segment and of course Harry's show (Fantasy Football Island) airs on Sunday Mornings at 8-9am.

It's a 20 minute segment awkwardly jammed into the middle of a show.

Nothing says ratings draw like Harry on a sunday morning

While the ratings are not going to be like drive-time during the week- they are far better than the same time slot during a Sunday morning that doesn't occur during Football season.
