Now leaving WFNZ: http://www.charlotteobserver.com/2013/12/30/4576017/taylor-zarzour-leaving-wfnz-to.html#.UsEWSLT5lJF

Actually, I really liked Zarzour's take on things. Very straight-forward and level-headed without relying on old cliches and over-the-top tactics. He's the antithesis of cohost Marc James, the biggest douche that ever douched

Just read ^ that article this morning. Sad to see Taylor go. Listened to him in Raleigh and Charlotte and I can definitely say the only reason I'll turn it to WFNZ in the afternoon now is to listen to QCB.

12/30/2013 6:25:51 AM

that sucks, marc james is such a yankee blowhard

12/30/2013 6:42:08 AM

I remember when his doctor daddy paid for that rinky dink AM Raleigh station just so his son could be the host of a sports talk show. Less than ten years later he is getting his own national show. Even Lane Kiffin is impressed at how he has moved on to better jobs in such a short time.

12/30/2013 7:41:09 AM

fine by me. i quit listening to the show years ago. couldn't handle all the idiot fucks calling in to talk to "Taylor ZAR ZAR"

12/30/2013 8:24:26 AM

the best thing on radio is when they have Steve Smith in studio for the entire show

the rest of the time the show is about on par with Adam and Joe in terms of suckitude

^ Concur. No doubt Smitty is getting in some free intern time on the radio so he can set himself up as the next co-host of The Drive once he retires.

12/30/2013 8:49:03 AM

Marc James is on by himself now?

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

That show will be unlistenable now. It was barely listenable before.

12/30/2013 8:49:38 AM

mark and mike -> dan patrick -> rome is my schedule

12/30/2013 9:09:47 AM

They'll let Marc James carry the show for a few weeks but there is no way that he will turn it into a solo show by himself. Charlotte already has the worst local sports talk lineup possible. losing TZ makes it that much worse.

12/30/2013 9:38:06 AM

It's really a disgrace for the largest market in the 8th largest state to only have that shitshow of a station as it's only option. Where's the competition?

12/30/2013 9:40:38 AM

All the folks in PackPride HATE him for some reason.

12/30/2013 9:49:48 AM

^^ 730 AM is an ESPN radio affiliate with a local afternoon show. but the signal is so weak that i can barely even get clear reception on 277.

12/30/2013 9:52:06 AM

5^ Mike and Mike is awful. I only listen to them if the other talk radio I listen to is on commerical. Such fake ass "chemistry" between them and they bring on morons like Chris Carter for his breakdown and it turns into full-on IQ elimination.

Don't know shit about Zarzour, but I actually enjoy Adam and Joe and don't really get the hate. Yeah they are trolls, but at least they don't go and blow Duke and UNC's nuts all the time and are pretty even with their criticisms of all the area schools.

^he said Mark and Mike, which is the local 620AM morning show. I think they are worse than Mike and Mike believe it or not. They are like sports talk for idiots. Mark Thomas, even though he's an NCSU alum, irks the shit out of me. Its like he starts talking without formulating a complete thought and winds up contradicting himself before he's done talking.

I can handle Adam and Joe for about 15 minutes (same with David Glenn) but anything more than that and their condescending, snarky attitudes bother me. I cant remember a time that they took a phone call and agreed with what the caller said

Dan Patrick is pretty much the only sports talk host I can handle, which sucks cause I listen to a lot of sports talk radio

12/30/2013 10:01:25 AM

Jay Mohr is entertaining as hell. He's starting to blend more and more comedy in with sports talk and it makes for a great show imo.

It's, I mean, I don't, like, well, um, he, I mean, it's kind of, I just, I mean Mark starts off every thought stuttering and stammering and it drives me up the wall. How he has kept his job is beyond me.

12/30/2013 10:22:43 AM

Yeah, David Glenn seems like the most knowledgeable host by far. But there's something about his delivery that drives me crazy. I can only take him for 15 minutes max. He takes forever to make his point.

There's a million things that annoy me about Marc James, but the worst is how he asks questions to the guests. He always tries to inject his own insight instead of just asking the question. It comes off as very LOOK HOW MUCH I KNOW ... and it's obnoxious as hell.

12/30/2013 10:25:51 AM

^ This. Taylor is a better radio host, Marc is a better sports fan. But this is why Marc will not succeed on his own without Taylor to balance his ego and poor interviewing abilities.

12/30/2013 10:31:00 AM

Adam Gold on his own is the best host in the state. Ovies completely destroys the listening experience.

that's a problem with all of those guys. i takes them 200 words to ask the simplest of questions.

Couldn't disagree more. When Gold is doing his own show, he is the most pretentious, arrogant know it all Yankee. Joe does a good job of muting some of that.

I think they both suck on their own, but together, they do pretty good. They don't take things seriously at all, which they shouldn't since it's only sports.

What annoys me most is the way they schedule the topics for their show. They should always be talking college sports during rush hour, not Hurricanes, Panthers, or Bobcats.

12/30/2013 11:16:11 AM

^ I completely agree on the Adam and Joe schedule. Anytime they go to Hurricane talk and bring on John Forslund, I immediately change to something else. They should do that shit at the start of their show.

Quote :

"he said Mark and Mike"

My mistake As for Mark and Mike, Mark Thomas is pretty damn awful. He takes forever to make his point which usually is weak sauce and obvious. It is pretty painful really. The other guys on there have to be wondering if Thomas has nude pictures of their bosses.

12/30/2013 11:29:39 AM

Just so we're all on the same page...David Glenn is the worst of all of them, right?

12/30/2013 11:31:01 AM

whichever show coach logan makes an appearance on instantly becomes the best for that hour.

as far a zarzour is concerned, I stopped listening to primetime with the packman, when it stopped being primetime with the packman.

12/30/2013 11:35:26 AM

I've listened to the current Bleacher Report radio on Sirius and it's pretty terrible. Really hope TZ won't be forced to bring on these BR "experts" and "lead writers" who are basically glorified bloggers.

12/30/2013 11:46:03 AM

DG is bearable ONLY on certain topics. He knows ACC basketball well and ACC football pretty well, but he sucks the dick on interviews, pro sports, and in general trying to be funny which he is not. He also takes too many shit calls from morons.

And yes Steve Logan should have his own 6 hour daily show to replace Mark and Mike and Mike and Mike.

[Edited on December 30, 2013 at 11:48 AM. Reason : df]

12/30/2013 11:47:20 AM

DG is the biggest Tarheel tip sucker of them all. I can't listen to him for more than 10 minutes, which is about how long it takes him to get to the point he is trying to make.

+1 for Logan. His show on Saturday mornings are always fun to listen to.

I feel this way about Adam and Joe. Their lack of sports knowledge is quite unbelievable. I feel like they rip off quite a shows as well.

12/30/2013 11:54:40 AM

Adam has some knowledge. joe doesn't know the first thing about sports. His show is sooooo bad when it's just him.

Adam and Joe try to just get people worked about by attacking the bigger fan bases in the area. It's annoying and old.

12/30/2013 12:04:46 PM

Adam and joe try to work the Colin cowherd approach, what is the popular opinion and go against that no matter how stupid it seems. Then flip-flop the next day. I like Dan Patrick in the mornings, then tune out till 4 when I will listen to the drive. Mainly for 3 with the qcb

12/30/2013 12:25:33 PM

David Glenn also isn't a fan of Cam Newton at all, and for all of the wrong reasons

drives me insane

12/30/2013 12:37:48 PM

QCB and Hitman should host the show

12/31/2013 9:59:07 PM

Hitman should be driving a garbage truck. It's the only thing he's qualified to do.

12/31/2013 10:00:50 PM

i'd rather listen to Hitman than Marc James or Brett Jensen

12/31/2013 10:01:57 PM

Mark with a C is THE most annoying. Biggest shitbag jersey chasing talk radio person ever. I would only piss on him if he were on fire and my piss was gasoline.

12/31/2013 10:05:30 PM

lol he was filling in for some national show tonight...he was like "we're talking about the biggest winners and the biggest losers of 2013...and i'm not talking about any of my ex-girlfriends, we're talking sports"

12/31/2013 10:07:21 PM

Just wanted to say that Joe Ovies is the fucking worst

12/31/2013 10:13:52 PM

Joe Ovies is a fucking moron. Same with Adam Gold.

12/31/2013 10:16:01 PM

Steve Logan rules all

Adam and Joe just read deadspin comments on the air and pass them as their own

I remember one football game where Adam Gold criticized a team for not intentionally holding to stop the clock sooner.

Yes - he thought the whistle blew on a penalty, like basketball
