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.

Well, we disagree then. I think sports radio is very similar to a message board. Many of the ideas/thoughts seen here, were first initiated via talk radio. It's just a convenient whipping boy these days, since Jones doesn't have to answer them directly. He is certainly lucky he doesn't visit motownsports.com, he'd really be hurt, of course he doesn't have any convenient talk show host to single out here.
