  I hope for your sake, WKNR replaces his time slot with an extra hour of Goldhammer, and an extra hour of Fedor.

  Wouldn't this thread be better suited for the College Football forum?

  Ok? Am I not allowed to think he's an idiot with a tired act?
• bigdaddy2003

  

  He can be funny but gets annoying at times for me. He's one of those people who think their opinion matters more than others.
• ricola

  

  if that means he's off wknr---awesome! He won't be missed by me! Anything/anybody they put in his place (aside from munch or lecharles) will be a welcome addition!
• sportchampps

  I love when he talks mma on his show. I also love the smack off each year

  So does that mean he will be off 1230?
  
  That's why there's Jungle Insider.

  Yes. That rant was neither funny nor accurate.

  You're allowed to think both, but no matter what you think of his act, very few idiots make tens of millions per year. I should be so dumb.

  I honestly can't listen to Fedor anymore. He just goes against the grain to be annoying anymore...it is too much. I need to get on the 92.3 bandwagon. Hammer doesn't bother me.

  Down her the only way to listen to 92.3 is radio.com app....or online

  More than likely yes. Some FSR syndicated stations have already canceled him because of the move. But others havent because of the contract issues. I think once the FSR contract is over/terminated/whatever and he has his CBS one in full place he will be off all Fox Radio.
• Thinthickbigred

  the dude is hilarious and it sucks he is leaving ESPN . I listen to his radio show too

  His radio show is on Premiere Radio Networks. All this stuff is merely television

  Yeah you do. I haven listened to KNR in months. The only thing I dot like on 92.3 is Booms. He's pretty annoying.

  Right. But here the local Fox Sports Radio station is the Rome affiliate and that is quite common. Laley is saying that all FSR plan on dropping Rome. Hoping that isn't the case or that someone else in Toledo will scoop it up. Don't know if there are really any other options though.

  right, and syndicated on a TON of Fox Sports Radio stations. They are the ones dropping him.

  Or an attractive younger man, depending on your perspective.
