Steve knew what he was talking about- plain and simple. By far the best one- knowledgeable, genuine, and a guy I would listen to. Nick talked great, sounded great, but knew nothing of what he was talking about. It was garbage in a nice bag . . . Mets were too cheap for Bengie Molina?? Really?!?!?!? They offered him the largest contract he was offered in 2006, AND this past offseason- both times he ended up taking lesser offers somewhere else. There’s plenty of reasons to kill the Mets . . . it takes a bad kind of talent to be wrong about a Mets screw up . . . take a lap Nick- and go home PLEASE!!

Looks like Nick got his friends on here to boost his (SLIM) chances. Same goes for the “wanna be mad dog” John yelling mouth of the south non stop. Patrick and Howard were so bad it was entertaining. Like watching someone bomb at standup comedy.

Give Steve,Edward, Scott, and Mike a chance. They were the only ones tolerable.

I freaking think John is amazing his level of passion a hundred and fifty percent.You can tell he really believes what he is talking about he backs up his words with a booming voice.I hope John goes all the way cause I wanna see what else this guy got in him I think he still has more to show us when it comes to setting the tone and letting his opinion be heard.
Johns rant was prefect it was loud so it woke you up cause the other rants sounded like telemarketers.John sets the mood and use’s the prefect tone like a prefect first date I hope to see him in the finals to see what else he got left in him.

Mike’s rant was the only one that had me interested from start to finish, we’ve all heard the same chatter with the other rants time and time again at least Mike’s topic on running backs was creative, I’m always interested in something different.

The Mouth of the South sounds so refreshing, especially when compared to the other contestants. What allows him to grab the room is that all of his points are backed in research, rather than (what most of the other contestants use) “I think” or “I say”, which makes his arguments more believable and allows for greater listenership. While he’s aggressive and intense (great for radio!) his intensity isn’t blinded by ignorance and/or opinion.

Was that Howard guy serious? He was god awful, reading off paper LAME !

John was diffrent but showed alot of passion and i liked that, He reminded me alot of Max Kellerman. But I felt that the best over all was Patrick and the biggest loser, showed passion, smarts and was also comical. The two of them stood out the most, but I felt Patrick was better all around.

I actually went to the event because I live in Stamford, and Ncik completely blew the others away with how he handled the before and after questioning. His rant was the best too I think. Depends on what WFAN wants really…

These forums are a joke. Anonymous postings by anonymous idiots hahaha…First guy was the best though, I do agree there

First guy was the best. I reallly got into what he was saying and believed him.

Nick

Here is the reason why Nick was THREE cuts better than the rest: He was the only one who truly editorialized…He had an idea and went somewhere with it with his own points, his own story, and his own sense of what was going on.

Nick was the best. He was the only one who went outside the box in his thinking. Everyone else just presented us with stuff we already know.

Nick. Not even close. He stole the show

Dead on brother. The man was locked in and made a lot of sense.

Are you guys crazy? Nick was the best by a mile! I’d be surprised if he didn’t win the whole thing.

Wow. I couldn’t disagree with you first guys more. Nick is the most passionate and articulate voice in this entire contest so far. Seems like the total package to me. The naysayers are probably just bitter competitors who realize that he took them to school.

So we all agree that Howard or Patrick are battling for last ?

I thought Scott was OK, but Steve’s rant on the Giants had much more in depth analysis. He combined some personality along with the substance and was probably the strongest overall. Anyone can just rant about a topic you have already heard someone else say on the radio, but to back it up with real knowledge of a sport is tough to do.

Personally I think Scott did a nice job talking about the Giants. As a Giants fan I haven’t heard a thing about the Giants since camp opened. This is the same team that was 5-0 to start the season last year. Things happened and they were a disgrace in the last two games of the year. He is right when he says that the Jets are the sexy team in NY but who would have an easier road to the Super Bowl. The NFC is clearly the easier road if you ask me. The Offense is legit and the defense is revamped so I think he made a very good point.

Oops, didn’t realize there was more than one John in the mix. I was talking about the Three Ring Circus guy. Plus I agree, MSG is a total circus.

I don’t know, I think I like more energy and passion in the hosts that I listen to. Otherwise everything just fades into the generic talk background and it becomes like white noise; something you can just tune out. John definitely woke me up, I have to say, and I think I like it! He doesn’t sound like anything generic that’s for sure.

I believe I fell asleep during Nick’s rant as well. He could have easily summed that up with two words, “mets suck”.

Some of these men were horrible and I couldn’t even understand Howie. And why was he reading of a piece of paper, that was terrible!

You can really tell who would sound good on the radio and who wouldn’t. Steve and Mike were pretty good in what they said. I think Edward was the most unique and made the most interesting point though He showed the most knowledge and didn’t like these other guys. Some of them just yell to get their point across. Don’t they know WFAN did away with the Maddog for a reason.

I think I fell asleep during Nick’s rant, I still don’t know what it’s about except telling us what we already know, the Mets suck.

You got another guy spitting into the mic about the NFL. I can’t even hear what he said, and they even got his name wrong. Is it Thomas or Howard? Guess he ain’t winning lol He does have a great voice for calling horses down at the track.

John himself is a three ring circus. I never though the circus could be so boring.

This week has it’s token Giants fan, but there ain’t gonna be anyone talking about them this year because they’re a last place team and their best player is in prison.

The guy talking about RBs knew his stuff and can’t say anything bad about him. He actually made a point unlike everyone else who just wants to complain about their team. That’s rare. I wonder if the contest with add points for being unique, yet truthful. Advance Mike so I don’t have to hear a disgruntled fan hosting his own show!
