Mark Packer leaves WFNZ

Primetime with the Packman's last show was on Wednesday, contract was not renewed. No announcement yet as to who takes over his timeslot.

I liked some of his show and detested other parts (QCB & Whiner Line). The guys who are celebrating his departure should be careful until they find out what's going to take Packer's place. It really could be a lot worse. :eek:

Pick me! Pick me! :seeya:

I work cheap! And listeners won't have to put up with Da Bears, Cubbies or Giants! (I may lament of my Colties some times.)

But 99% of the time it will be:

1) Charlotte Sports

2) North Carolina Sports (Not UNC, but what's going on in the state.)

3) National Sports.

4) Anything else

I'll even have a babe from one of the "Gentlemen's Clubs" co-host on Fridays! :D

Bring back Gary Williams!!

Gary's got his own problems. First of all his show has become beyond boring even with the addition of Steve Phillips, who is terrible on the radio.

And he better hope Howard Stern renews his contract with Sirius or it's goodbye Satellite Radio.

Wasn't that great of a host. Kept caller on the air waaaay too long. Didn't get rid of QCB when his act got stale. And wasn't a good interviewer.

No one at WFNZ is a good interviewer! They break every rule I was ever taught on interviewing.

Listen!

Never ask an open ended question.

Never ask more than 1 question at a time.

Listen to the answer!

Never talk over the answer.

Never be a "knob polisher" to the person you are interviewing.

There are 12 DON'TS during an interview, and they all break at least 10 of them trying to be funny!

You never saw David Frost crack jokes when he was interviewing Nixon!

I just hope they replace him with someone local. I moved to Raleigh last year and there is only one decent local host here in the morning and the rest of the day is all ESPN radio until Pack at 3. I would stream the WFNZ during the day it's so bad. I was reading on the Observer comments and they're all for a national syndicated guy which is the exact opposite of why I liked WFNZ.

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
    • 7 wins this year and some of those against really good teams and yall think Canales might get fired? Lol Good luck getting a better coach in here if that happens.
