Does Jason Smith take phone calls? I'm asleep and never get to listen!

On occasion. But not often enough, IMO!
 
I like when "all night" repeats some interviews from earlier in the day that I may have missed. Besides, you eventually run out of things to talk about in the dead of the night.

ESPN Radio exists only to promote the TV side.

Other than Cowherd nothing worth listening to on there.
 
The overnights should be a compilation of "best of" segments from the previous dayparts. Every overnight host has sucked for years. Less
Amy Lawrence and more replays would work for me.

They've done the "best of" stuff before, with the best of mike & mike on saturday mornings and a couple hours on saturday and sunday morning a couple years ago. They probably want to keep it live as much as possible for the west coast. (Sports radio isn't big on tape delaying stuff, I think ESPN stopped a couple years ago, by adding the "mysterious first hour" to Cowherd's show to more correctly fill AM drive)
 
ESPN blows, plain and simple. Safe, scripted, non-funny crap. Colin Cowherd could be the worst phoney on the air since Jim Rome started reading scripts and taking only callers with scripts who agree with his bogus, controved views.
 
Cowherd is a lot of BS, I rarely listen to him anymore. He likes to think of himself as a college football guru, but outside football he really doesn't seem to know much say about basketball for instance. He has really looked bad on things like the whole Eddie Guerrero fiasco, stealing stuff of blogs, saying the Giants had no shot in the SB and then after the game saying he had bet the Giants, and after the Celtics accquired the big 3 said they won't sniff the NBA finals, and the Sean Taylor "gang related" comments after his death. I guess some people still like his show.

ESPN radio has gotten really bad. Todd Wright was correct in saying that ESPN radio bosses thought the listeners were dumb and TW hated dumbing down his show when he was on ESPN all night.

I tried listening the other night, but Freddie Coleman and Amy Lawrence back to back for 8 hours?!? talk about killing people! Talk about cliches and sucking up. Coleman maybe the worst sucking up and Amy well we have discussed her so much on this board.
