Day 88: ESPN Radio

My Best Guess: With everything from Shark Week to...huh? Wait...seriously? No Discovery Channel Radio? Channel 119 is just where it used to live, apparently, and now hosts special feature channels when appropriate. So...upward and onward to Channel 120, ESPN Radio, your home on the Sirius dial for anything and everything sports related, from the latest news and scores, to interviews with your favorite sports figures. It's like ESPN...but in your CAR!

According to Sirius: ESPN Radio is the worldwide leader in sports, offering the best and biggest in sports broadcasting, including: Mike & Mike in the Morning, The Dan Patrick Show and AllNight with Jason Smith, which feature top sports news, big name athletes, interviews and commentary.

Curt's Rebuttal: I'm really going to have a hard time letting Shark Week go, you realize...

Sample Playlist

• The Herd, with Colin Cowherd: A morning sports talk show. Today, it featured discussion about the upcoming Patriots/Colts game being played in New England, with commentary on how unfair this was to the Colts, as the Patriots are used to the colder weather. The Pats were largely favored to win in this discussion, with talk that this victory might seal their Super Bowl appearance. After a not-so-quick commercial break, including an interjection with a SportsCenter Report, Colin returns to discuss the complaint by some OSU fans that they are ranked #2, behind LSU...basically telling them to get a tough schedule before they start complaining.
• The Pulse, with Doug Gottlieb: More of an evening drive show (for me, at least). This evening, the focus was on whether or not Joe Torre taking over as manager for the LA Dodgers would improve their standings next year, as well as whether or not they might make some big plays, such as getting A-Rod to make the move to the West Coast. No and no, seemed to be the concensus.

Verdict: If I was a sports fan...definitely. Since I'm not...going to pass. And now that I'm in the "sports" section of the dial...I think there is going to be a lot of passing.
