I won't agree, however, that the sports talk doesn't really change anything, and it's just opinions. About a year and a half ago, I wasn't a sports guru or anything but I enjoyed sports and knew stuff about them. When I started listening to The Ticket I felt every time I watched a Rangers/Mavs game(only 2 DAL teams I follow) that somehow I was sort of getting an "upper-hand" ,per se, about what was going on with that particular game that night.<br /><br />I will say though that it's the yuckin around that keeps me listening, not the opinions or the "upper-hand" that I feel that I get. I can't listen to a full show of Norm unless I'm REALLY focused on work/what's going on around me that it's just background noise, or sometimes just wait for Sirois to pop in with some gold. I think the other shows have found the perfect balance between Sports Talk/Guy Talk.<br /><br />The only Sports Talk that I think all of the shows over do it on is during Football season. I'm a football hater, so this is kind of biased, but I do NOT care that much about what Jason Garrett has to say. Every. Single. Damn. Day. Thank goodness the Ticket talks less football than every other Sports Media outlet, but it's still such a dang beating.Erixandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03804490891095112425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577236709648198825.post-69956536270305056032011-08-08T12:55:23.566-05:002011-08-08T12:55:23.566-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Erixandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03804490891095112425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577236709648198825.post-89681768413954731362011-08-08T11:40:11.521-05:002011-08-08T11:40:11.521-05:00As of late The Fan has tried to yuck things up but...As of late The Fan has tried to yuck things up but they have failed miserably.

That belief is reaffirmed on each semi-rare occasion that I tune into the fan. Their sports talk is fine, but holy crap, that's all there is. I keep thinking they're gonna loosen things up a bit, but no. And my gosh, Ben and Skin try to yuck it up a little, but they sound like they should be in Wichita Falls. I never understand why other stations don't have a good yuck monkey or maybe even a Gorden Keith type character. In fact, I wonder if The Ticket would really be anything like The Ticket we know and love if Gorden hadn't been there. Don't get me wrong, they do have their misfires, but their mix of guy talk(includes comedy) with sports is what keeps me almost always tuned in.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577236709648198825.post-62057349250242442252011-08-08T08:32:18.502-05:002011-08-08T08:32:18.502-05:00In considering the LWJ-A discussion, I remembered ...In considering the LWJ-A discussion, I remembered something I'd been meaning to write about but never did, and AP's comment brings it once again to mind:<br /><br />With me, it's the other way around: I don't listen to The Ticket to get news about sports -- instead, listening to The Ticket has gotten me more interested in sports. I was never an enormous fan and still am not as sports-oriented as a lot of P1's, but the sportsy content I get from The Ticket makes me more knowledgeable about sports, makes me more likely to watch it, and lets me enjoy it more.<br /><br />A couple of offbeat examples: <br />(1) "Race Week." Although much teased by the hosts and Y-monks, it's an interesting listen, Rich Phillips keeps things moving along smartly, and the show has made me at least marginally more interested in NASCAR -- not just the thrills, but the politics. <br /> (2) Junior's cycling talk. Frankly, it's gotten me back on the faithful Schwinn Moab even in this heat, went 15 miles Saturday and 22 yesterday.<br /><br />True with the major sports as well (except hockey -- I tried, but nothing is going to get me interested in hockey). Bob's pre-game with Rich or whomever, and Norm's post-game with Donovan -- very informative. Mike R on baseball; Junior on pro basketball. Makes it more fun to live in Dallas.<br /><br />Glad you enjoyed it.

1) ...Fascinating discussion - two points if I may:<br /><br />1) I do actually listen for hardcore sports content - Norm's Cowboy Postgames are an absolute *must* for me, and I'm riveted whenever Bob discusses personnel groupings, blitz formations and the like. The reason I now follow the Rangers and the Mavericks is also a direct result of listening to the Ticket for a few years now. I switched on a Mav's game in 2008, and realized I recognized Followill's voice and knew every player on the team through ticket osmosis. <br /><br />The reason I wouldn't listen to most of the Soulpatch was because I found it to be somewhat bland in its presentation in the early shows, and when you listen to every show, there's a lot of overlap in terms of sports content.<br /><br />2) I'm just a helper when it comes to the UnTicket :) That's run by DP (doanwanna poopoo). DP's likely a day-one, and I'm also old enough to be precluded from a fight-night appearance. My view is the exact opposite of Mr. Anon's though...Sports teams come and go over the years, they'll be good, they'll suck, they'll tease you, they'll crush you, but funny is always, well, funny!aphttp://www.theunticket.comnoreply@blogger.com
