HANDS DOWN Anhder was the best one of them all…lots of enthusiasm and a GREAT personality…exactly what is needed for a radio talk show. He knows what he’s talking about and has the personality to make WFAN a success…you can just tell that the caller’s and people listening would love him…I’d definitley listen…CHOOSE ANHDER!!!!!!!

The kid Joe was the best no doubt. Ive been following the whole competition and the other guys had me falling asleep. Joe was hilarious and as a Met fan I agree with all his opinions.
August 17, 2010 at 11:04 pm
Joe was definately in my opinion the best natural born speaker. The others were boring, Joe was hilarious kept it interesting.

Ive been following this competition from the beginning and I think the kid Joe was definatly the best one. I saw all the auditions and most of the other guys had me falling asleep. Im a met fan and agree with his views. He happens to be very funny also and I think he got a great radio voice. Im glad he mentioned the show scrappers and I happened to catch the show tonite on spike and it was hysterical

Joe gets my vote; he was informative and knowledgable and kept my interest. Although I’m a big time Yankee fan, I would have to agree with his comments and I wouldn’t mind hearing more from Joe.
August 17, 2010 at 10:54 pm
Anhder really nailed it about the long suffering Jets fan’s mindset. Anhder was very relexed and has a great radio voice.
August 17, 2010 at 10:45 pm
joe was def the strongest presence out of the bunch. THE rest of the guys lost my attention and had me sleeping, Joe was funny and love his veiw on the mets. He also mentioned scrappers which i was able to catch on spike tonite and loved it.. very funny show. check it out
August 17, 2010 at 10:45 pm

Joe was by far the best….Great voice and very informative. Also, very passionate about baseball and his feelings about the METS…..Joe, I would enjoy listening to you on the radio daily….
August 17, 2010 at 10:29 pm
Joe is great! Complete entertainment. He has the voice and knowledge to be a sucess. Any other choice than Pipi would mean and slump in listeners and stale air time.
August 17, 2010 at 10:24 pm
Love Joseph…his points, his voice & overall his persona!
August 17, 2010 at 10:03 pm

August 17, 2010 at 9:43 pm
Kerel had purpose and meaning. He told you why and inspired you to still root for the Mets. Go Kerel, Wright and Davis.
August 17, 2010 at 9:31 pm
Joe was the best! He was very comfortable with speaking on the topic, he kept my attention the whole time and he was entertaining too. Team Joe!
August 17, 2010 at 9:29 pm
Joey B was by far the most informative of all the rants. He is a true METS fan. Good Luck.
August 17, 2010 at 9:26 pm
I thought Kerel was in control of his two minutes and had a great radio voice.
August 17, 2010 at 9:15 pm

Joe was awesome.. the best one up there. vote for joeeee!!!!!
August 17, 2010 at 8:42 pm
why…..because he has a new york accent and a hundred fans saying “vote for joe”?
August 18, 2010 at 12:26 am
i think jow sounded the best and was the most confident.. he also spoke about something that was important rather then a preseason game… i think joe should be the new manager of the mets!
August 17, 2010 at 8:38 pm
WOW this guy joseph hit it right on the head and he sounds good to maybe the mets need you joe !!!!
August 17, 2010 at 8:38 pm
I really found myself agreeing with all of what Gregg had to say. Shut up, it’s preseason.
Oh, by the way, Giants own NY. Huge win.
August 17, 2010 at 8:35 pm
this guy joe was def the best!!!! the rest of them sounded way too nervous and joe sounded like hes been doin it for years… vote for Joe!!!
August 17, 2010 at 8:34 pm
I like Gregg a lot. Makes a good point plus backs it up with some facts. Seems pretty polished and isn’t just yelling into the mic.
August 17, 2010 at 8:34 pm
Gregg was awesome! The others were good, but man, this guy made a lot of valid points. Could see myself listening to this guy all the time. Two thumbs up!
August 17, 2010 at 8:33 pm
after viewing all of them i would have to say joe was the best… extremely passionate and has a great voice… i would def listen to him on the Fan
August 17, 2010 at 8:32 pm
Joe was definitely the best. He was very passionate and kept me interested in what he had to say…definitely not boring. I would love to listen to him on a daily basis!!!
August 17, 2010 at 8:31 pm
I would have to say Gregg is the best…Best voice and makes the most sense…for real what was all the fuss about preseason…im rooting for this gregg guy I can see myself listening to him on teh radio
August 17, 2010 at 8:18 pm
Joe breaks down the Mets the way Minaya should. Forget WFAN the Mets should hire Joe!
August 17, 2010 at 8:07 pm
Joe was the best….. Good ny voice and funny
August 18, 2010 at 12:06 am
Gregg was by far the best, He has great intensity and an obivous zest fors sports
August 17, 2010 at 7:53 pm
pat was definitely the best
August 17, 2010 at 7:50 pm
I thought Gregg was definitely the best. His voice is perfect for the radio and he knows his facts. There were no dull moments in either of his rants. Keep up the good work Gregg.
August 17, 2010 at 7:47 pm
I don’t know how anyone could’ve been bored by Gregg. He was on point, enthusiastic and seemed like he truly believed in what he was saying. This kid could make it big.
August 17, 2010 at 7:42 pm
Joe absolutely should be picked, colorful comments, held my interest the most, and made some excellent points on those Muts!!
August 17, 2010 at 7:37 pm
I think Gregg did the best job out of this bunch. He was very enthusiastic about his topic, and made some great points. Hope to see him at Bar A.
August 17, 2010 at 7:32 pm
Gregg def made some real good points. why was there trash talking for a pre season game .. good work gregg im rooting for yah
August 17, 2010 at 7:11 pm
I loved Gregg’s enthusiasm here. His youth and passion definitely came through and he’s definitely someone I’d want to listen to on the Fan.
August 17, 2010 at 7:10 pm
joe was by far the best…. he has the voice for New York Radio and i would love to listen some more
August 17, 2010 at 6:17 pm
Ok….now that we clearly see that this guy joe has every one of his friends….and their friends..,,and friends of their friends trying to plug votes for him……lets look at this figuratively now….ive watched ALL videos from ALL rounds….i dont know about everyone else but this guy ander dawson…….with the time he was given both times,has managed to touch on football,baseball,basketball….made all valid points and he never so much as hiccupped…..alot of guys are good…..but take a look and youll see what i mean people.
August 18, 2010 at 12:13 am
I don’t think that Joseph having his friends write comments has any relevance. Bottom line is that all contestants showed the videos to their friends and have their support. The truth is that his voice is undeniably good and he has charisma. I feel that his video stays on point, shows his knowledge of sports and flashes his sense of humor. He was not the only person with a good video but I feel he was the most entertaining and I do not think that you should take away the good points by suggesting that his friends are trying to rig this contest. Everybody has an opinion but I don’t think that this negativity is necessary.
August 18, 2010 at 2:13 am
i think JOSEPH PIPI WAS THE BEST informative passionate and his voice is awesome for radio my vote is for him!!!
August 17, 2010 at 6:17 pm
I was a bit bored by Gregg, I lost focus.
I liked Daniel, pretty solid approach.
August 17, 2010 at 6:10 pm
I agree
August 17, 2010 at 9:16 pm
Dan is the man!
August 17, 2010 at 6:04 pm
After going through the videos, I think Gregg was the best. He’s got the voice for radio and can stir up controversy. He looked very comfortable with the spotlight on him.
August 17, 2010 at 5:31 pm
I like the young kid Gregg….hes got the most passion, let’s see some fresh blood in the finals
