The Dan Le Batard Show

[Fireball Jr.]

LeBatard et al., the best! Love how Dan, the rebel, kicked off the worst week in sports talk radio -- Super Bowl week -- by interviewing the noted football pundit, Kenny G. This is Dan dropping his drawers to his employer, ESPN, and the vast wasteland of sports talk radio and TV.

Thank God for Le Batard. This is otherwise the worst week of sports radio. Broadcasts from "radio row" at the Super Bowl are unbearable.

 

[Fireball Jr.]

Sports radio gold.

Has Stugotz always had his own show on Sun morning?

For awhile I believe. I have never listened to it.

 

[Fireball Jr.]

Stugotz's long post-holiday weekend update is another weiner (his real name's Jon Weiner, but Stugotz way better name).

 

[Fireball Jr.]

The best.

 

[Fireball Jr.]

The best.

Le Batard followed the Richard Lewis show with another outstanding segment with Ron Magill of the Miami zoo.

Best "sports" talk show ever.

 

[HOFCeluck]

I think stuff like The Game and Ron Magill segments get all the glory on that show. But I'm a big fan of underrated bits they do like Cote's Clock, The Hot Take Demon and AHHHHHHHHH


Stugotz going right back into his plug for 1-800-FLOWERS kills me.

 

[Fireball Jr.]

Best "sports" talk show ever. The weekly bits with the Miami zoo guy, Ron Magill, are gold. Looks like these guys really are enjoying being at work. Not many people experience that.

Stugotz just gave Dungey a shout out in his weekly game notes segment

Yes, and during the local hour on Monday they talked about him quite a bit.

Great read, thanks for sharing. Best "sports" radio show ever!

Classic snippet from the other day:

 

[HOFCeluck]

What does it say that I get all my sports content from Lebatard and Pardon My Take?

That was a GREAT read BTW

It says that you're a wise man (woman? don't wanna assume) and, without question, you get the show!

Best show ever. Have been listening everyday since last September. I love everything about it. Don’t care much about sports past Su sports except so the show is right in my wheelhouse. I do get the show

I think one of the best things is that if you listen to the local hour, they are basically winging the show. I think there is more planning than they let on, but I think they just sort of let the show happen and it is driven by lebatard's talent. there might be more planning than I think, but either way it is funny and they do a great job.

 

[HOFCeluck]

The end of Thursday’s and start of Friday’s show was amazing. So perfect. Twenty minutes of “Titanic” discussion, then they had Pablo Torres on to talk about how the movie fits into the Terminator franchise.

Honestly the low key best part may have been when Dan read a text from a listener complaining about how stupid it was that they were discussing that with the NFL draft being next week.

Dan Le Batard and Stugotz sign multiyear agreements to remain at ESPN
