Romberg Fired (?) At 790

[Tad Footeball]

Seems super abrupt and unexpected. I don't listen frequently but when I did recently he seemed to be talking about moving to their new studios and such.

 

[Go Canes!!]

Maybe spending all this time at the U has given him the coaching itch.

Or maybe he really wasn’t very good on 790.

 

[section9]

My understanding was that he and Zagacki never got along, and yes, I know Zagacki is at 560. There was a merger 18 months ago.

Your second statement might be valid if the bar locally wasn't super low. For chrissakes, Crowder has seemingly been on the air here for like a decade.

Well Zagacki can kick rocks. Dudes terrible

 

[Angry Ibis]

Going to OutTheHuddle full time with Pete??

 

[Cane since 1060]

Romberg and Dorsey living together and having fun and winning. Those were the last great days. Glad to see him around campus.

I spend a few weeks in soFla every summer and I have to say local sports talk is terrible.
The level of suckiness extends to inarticulate conversation to not much to offer about sports
that isn't already known.
As a group, these sports talk folks are also lazy, simply following the latest "hot" topic being peddled
about by equally lame ESPN sports talk shows, which is usually a bad attempt to mix sports with race, sexism
or other off-topic pop-culture stupidity.
Everyone is trying to be another Tony Kornheiser or Dan LeRetard which is odd because they are lazy and suck
at their job.
Regarding Romberg, he's a Cane so sorry about him losing his gig, but he was pretty mediocre at his job too the few times
I heard him.

 

[GOCanes4420]

Well now that show is 100% unlistenable now.

 

[Genghis Cane]

So local radio is going to continue their streak of firing commentators who actually like UM?

Can’t wait to see the Gayturd or Nole they hire to replace him.

 

[Go Canes!!]

But his future’s so bright...

he was better than the rest of them minus tobin. Zaslow and amber are terrible

 

[hoops156]

he criticized 560 a lot and their station for allowing joe rose and crowder to handle canes coverage

if you want sports talk from the 1980s, go find a podcast by your favorite writers. that's the future. no one listens to radio for generic old sports talk which is why lebatard has gotten huge (he's a parody of the sports show). if i want someone breaking down sports, ill go listen to zach lowe, 5 rings, sebastians pub, etc. if i want an easy listen while i drive, ill hit up the lebatard podcast along with randomly morning show if there is bigger heat news going on

 

[JOE'CANE]

Romberg was not good and I agree with most of you sports talk dwn here isnt that good.

better than listening to amber talk about the gators like this is tampa or orlando. they have to move her off the show at some point. also, the random tidbits romberg threw in there about the canes were good (including stories). made it listenable

Sports talk radio as a whole is garbage—and has been for a long time. I'm shocked how many people still actually tune in for absolutely nothing.

You're right—every show, every channel—they focus on the topic-de-jour and no one has any new take on it. One guy is pro, the other is con—everyone raises their voices for a bit and in the end nothing is solved. So riveting.

If I were going to spend two seconds of my life listening to sports talk radio, fully agree that I would seek out a podcast and experts on the topic (re: in this case, die hard Canes fans) and hear what they have to say. I'm not tuning in to TV or radio guys who try to cover a bevy of sports and teams for them to weigh in on a Miami program they know little about.

****, dude I was literally about to write the exact same thing. It is OVER for sports talk radio. It’s dead. Podcast is the “now” and the future

I listened to sports and NPR before podcasts. I just can't stand most music stations. They are especially awful in South Florida.

Probably because they had Mario Cristobal on there and allowed him to give an Oregon recruiting pitch on air and they’re the so called “Miami flagship” station
