Morning Radio Shows...

I want to dedicate this thread to morning radio shows that are non-sports. In Charleston, we probably have the worst possible line up ever...

In the lowcountry, we have:

National

Bob and Tom 104.5 - Can be funny at times, but I grade the show a 3/10 because it is more of slapstick comedy and if it werent for the comedians that guest appear, this show would really suck. Bob and Tom are old, and do not appeal to me.

Bubba the Love Sponge 98.1 - These guys took over the airwaves last winter. I was really excited to get them, as the radio morning shows are all weak. After a few months of listening to most of the show, I really hate this show. I give it a 4/10 because Ned is really funny, and every now and again they will have an interesting segment (like one in every 20 shows). He gears his show around Florida politics because his listening market. They are only in a few major cities in FL, and Charleston SC...that is it, hardly national.....

Local

Two Girls and a Guy 95.1 - This is the show on the Pop/Top 20 station. They mostly talk about the Kardashians, Gheys, Dancing with the Stars....needless to say 1/10

Y morning Wake Up 102.5 - Mostly some news and mix of music. 2/10

TJ & The Morning Crew 103.5 - I dont listen to country, this show comes on the country station. ?/10

Summary

Again, Charleston has the worst line up ever in morning shows (dont even get me started on sports...)

I have found Lex and Terry (National, based out of Dallas) to be the best, most funniest show around. They are a little raunchy, and usually have some really good games, skits, call ins, contests, etc... I listen to them on their free app on my Droid.

Who do you guys have in your respective cities?

Get satellite radio and you will never listen to that crap again. I listen to Opie and Anthony and Ron and Fez.

Im not going to pay the outrageous Sat. radio fee...They rape you blind....

A couple years ago, my dad bought a lifetime subscription for $399.

I called a few months back to try to get the same deal (I had been a subscriber for 3 years) and they tried to charge me $600, plus another $100 in fees....

Or you pay $12 a month which is $145 a year (plus a $75 activation fee + other taxes and BS).

I use my phone to get talk shows, Pandora, I used to be able to listen to WFNZ, but they pulled their station from Tune In Radio.

I signed up so long ago there was no activation fee. I just pay the 12 bucks a month and its well worth it.

Sorry dude, you all got ripped off. I pay $77 a year for Best of XM. No Stern but I don't care about that really.

I thought everyone in the South listened to "The Big Show!" John boy & Billy. John Boy & Billy are all the construction crews listen to! They are on 100++ stations thoughout the South!

Or to Bob and Sherie on 107.9. They are syndicated all over the south as well.

When I listen to morning radio, if it wasn't FNZ, before they screwed it all up! I listened to a mix of John Boy & Billy or Ace & TJ. (Ace & TJ got to be really old.) Other than that day years ago that they saved that woman's life from Gastonia! (But, if you are calling in to a radio station to announce you're in the process of committing suicide, then it's more of a cry for help!)

I can put up with "The O Show" on Kiss 95.1

      From what I gather, sure it allows you more room in that you can manipulate the cap more due to smaller prorated amounts to fit salaries in, but for cap purposes, you're still on the hook for the money at the end of the day.    "ChatGPT You said: What are the advantages for NFL teams to sign larger signing bonuses? ChatGPT said: NFL teams often use large signing bonuses as a strategic tool in contracts. While they cost real cash up front, they offer several advantages, especially when it comes to salary cap management, player retention, and negotiation leverage. Here's a breakdown of the benefits: ✅ 1. Salary Cap Flexibility Signing bonuses are prorated over the life of the contract (up to 5 years) for salary cap purposes. This allows teams to spread out the cap hit, even if the player receives the money immediately. Example: A $20M signing bonus on a 4-year deal counts only $5M/year against the cap. ✅ 2. Attracting Top Talent Players love signing bonuses because they're guaranteed money paid up front. Offering a bigger signing bonus can sweeten the deal without inflating yearly salaries. ✅ 3. Front-Loading Real Cash, Not Cap Teams with strong cash flow can pay big bonuses now while minimizing the immediate cap hit. Useful for teams trying to build around rookie QB contracts or with flexible cash budgets. ✅ 4. Locking in Key Players Larger bonuses make it harder for a player to be released early due to dead cap consequences. This can create more job security for the player and roster continuity for the team. ✅ 5. Leverage in Restructures Big signing bonuses create future cap hits via proration. Teams can later restructure deals (e.g., convert salary to bonus) to create even more cap space. ✅ 6. Competitive Edge In free agency, a team offering more guaranteed cash up front often wins the bidding war, even if the total contract value is lower than another team's. ⚠️ Key Caveat: Large signing bonuses increase dead cap risk if the player is cut or traded early."   I think that roster bonuses can be a useful tool if you're trying to keep players in by manipulating numbers and spreading the hit over time, but I don't think that it's something that you want to use unless it's "necessary." I don't know that you want to get into signing rookies on roster bonuses, as the bust rate is relatively high.

      not even if that team in New Orleans disbands before the first game.  Saw one 2026 mock that had them drafting first next year.
