I disagree. Sports talk radio is attention whore driven. I don't think many true fans call into radio shows, instead they have intelligent conversations with other fans about happenings with the sport and ways to improve the team. Calling in to cry "Fire Millen" or "Jones sucks" is not productive at all, it's just a way for a certain type of person to get on the radio.

Sports talk radio used to be a way for people to get to know players and get the latest news about their favorite teams. With so many ways to get this information on the internet now, sports talk radio has morphed into a sports version of the "shout out."

I have no problem with sport radio, I just don't listen to them.
