There are talk radio shows that have nothing to do with sports on stations across the country.
It’s about 20 percent sports, and the rest is stories about his life.
He is a charismatic guy who does have stories some might find entertaining. It’s not terrible radio, either, because some people enjoy Innes’ shtick. The reason is because Innes would much rather talk about himself than he would talk about sports. Is that really a good thing that a battle between the station that has been king forever against the competition is now an all-out war? Why would the station that had always been in first place even talk about the war? Now “Radio Wars,” a great phrase coined by Kyle Scott on Crossing Broad, is a huge thing and an extremely popular feature on that site. When people thought Philly sports talk, it wasn’t even a question where they turned. This is the greatest boom in Philly sports talk! And it means WIP is having its greatest success ever! Seriously, he acted like this was the biggest thing ever.īigger than Angelo throwing a ball from, I believe, the 700 level to past home plate at Veterans Stadium.īigger than “Honk for Herschel!” the “For Who, For What?” scandal and the 15-hour pregame show from years ago when the Eagles played the Cowboys on Monday Night Football.īigger than all of the great things Howard Eskin did, bigger than all the great things The Morning Guys have done. He then said something along the lines of this being a big boom in Philadelphia radio, and said something to the effect, and I’m paraphrasing, that Angelo Cataldi has been a legend here, but this – the pairing of Innes and Bruno – is the biggest thing that ever happened in Philly radio. Innes started talking about how Rob Tornoe, the great cartoonist for the Philadelphia Inquirer, drew one of Innes and Bruno yelling at Fanatic drive time host Mike Missanelli. But after listening for a few minutes Friday, I lost my mind and also my desire to write something positive. And I wanted to write something positive about his new show with Tony Bruno. I listened to his show a few months back, and while he’s not my kind of sports talk host, I don’t want the guy to fail.ĭespite what people thought after I wrote a very critical blog about him last year, I certainly don’t dislike the guy personally. I don’t want to talk bad about Josh Innes.
