97.1 The Fan Radio with Ricordati and the Torg......

  • mallymal614
    is horrible. I was listening to Sports Radio all day but when they came on, I turned it off. Every word that comes out their mouth is either a lame joke or something negative. That’s all I wanted to say. Hope everyone having a great day :)

    They get brought up from time to time. The consensus seems to be you either love them, or hate them.

    I love them!

    I hate them so much I always listen
  • TheFan
    I like them

    They absolutely suck.

    I am very unhappy that they are now on the post game show on 97.1 after Ohio State games. Once I hear them, I turn to 610....just like I used to turn off 610 when Munch came on.

    Thay add absolutely nothing to the post game show.

    Back when Ricordati did his show with Spielman, I could deal with it because it was only one nut to listen to. But when he joined up with Torg who is just another version of him, I said ENOUGH is ENOUGH!

    I listen most days online. It's better than sitting in my office silently.

    I enjoy them but I don't take anything that they say seriously because they have piss poor sports knowledge. I listen to them for entertainment. By 3pm every day, I've already seen Sportscenter a couple of times, listened to Cowherd for a couple of hours and listened to Hooley for an hour or two so I'm not even looking for real sports info anymore.

    Very weak show for a big market like Cbus.

    I like them. Anything is better than Colin Cowherd...ugh.

    Good point.

    I wonder if there's any chance of them switching back with Spielman? I do enjoy Spielman more in that time slot, and with his wife passing I wonder if he's considering a switch back.

    Although if I were him I wouldn't. He's got the kids and with his current schedule he can be home with them after school.

    I love these guys!! They are hilarious - talking about all different sports/topics... They aren't homers for osu - which is great for me, cause i hate the osu...but that is probably why people don't like them.

    The problem is they are hilarious because of their lack of knowledge and they try to be serious. Kinda like Rush L.

    Uh Oh.......

    Last night Ricordatti was telling everyone that the NCAA shouldn't expand in basketball beacuse there are only 160 Div 1a teams. Then Torgy looked up that there was actually over 340 schools in Div 1 and Ricoratti still refused to believe those schools were eligible for the tourny

    I found out there was 300 schools in Div 1 when I was like 12.. how the hell don't you know something like that?

    I hardly ever notice them ever trying to be that serious.

    The only thing that annoys me is the Ricordati OSU basketball talk.

    And about the Columbus market, it's not a very desirable market for big names, no NBA, no NFL, no MLB. Notice the biggest names from Columbus in Broadcasting at CFB? That's the best Columbus is going to do.

    this show is at least better than those hacks on "Shark on sports"

    I can't stand OSU or anything about it, but I can't stand these two clowns either.

    I like them too. I listen to them on the way in to work in the afternoon. Better than some of the boring ass people they have on there. Colin Cowherd is a retard. Says shit for the shock value. Theses guys are legit fans and actually give the fans take in a lot of ways.

    I give these two credit. There are probably the only two guys in town (on radio, TV or print media) with the nads to call out the Buckeyes when they need calling out. All the other media types never would dare question anything Scarlet and Gray. For that- they have my respect.

    Although... I do think they say stuff just for the shock value.
