Bruno Kicking ASSS!!!

Did anyone notice how Bruno's was the only show doing Rose Bowl Stuff nationally?

He had Mack Brown and Pete Carroll on before the game and Mac Brown on this morning after that amazing win.

No wonder his show is getting more and more affiliates every day while Fox is twisting in the wind. ESPN is also doing it with mirrors and is too worried about self-hype than real coverage. Bruno seems willing to still do the grunt work and do what it takes to mainain and build great relationships with his guests as opposed to phonies like Rome and others who NEVER go to games or hang with fans and other media people.
 
Buddy you've got to be kidding me? I listened to ESPN Radio a bunch today and Mike & Mike, Colin Cowherd and Dan Patrick did nothing but discuss the Rose Bowl and the cool stories that came about as a result of that magnificent game. I can't say FOX was on it because I didn't listen to them but I'd be shocked if they weren't discussing it at length as well.

Also, while I like Bruno myself and find him to be entertaining and opinionated, his show isn't "standing out from the rest" just because he's doing grunt work and getting Mack Brown and Pete Carroll on. Instead of just looking at the 2 names of the guests he had, tell me something they said that was new and refreshing that you haven't heard before during the interview. In Mack's case, he's a good guy but a boring listen and while Tony may get some good things out of him, an average guest is still an average guest even after a big game. Most of the time they offer up typical coach speak and very rarely do they speak their minds and give radio shows something new to work with and I'd rather hear Tony or another host share his views on the game then hear a Coach say "It was a great win, we played hard, gotta give credit to USC, blah blah blah".

To follow that up, did you hear Vince Young on any national radio shows today? Probably not. Know why? Because he can't put together 2 sentences and is a bad interview. While his name may look great on the station's guest schedule or website, he still doesn't provide you with a good listen and after all, isn't that what this is really about - providing a good listen for people like you and me?

Don't get me wrong, I'm very much enjoying Tony Bruno and I think his show is going to continue to grow but if you're going to make a statement saying that others were not doing anything for the Rose Bowl, at least get your facts straight and listen to more than 1 network to get your information right.

It wasn't that Tony was talking Rose Bowl; everybody was!

He was the only national guy at the game and at the Beverly Hilton Hotel where the media was centered. It was equivilant to him being the only guy at the Super Bowl media center or any other major event. His segment with Mack Brown and Beano Cook was hardly "coach speak" and was better than any of the crap ESPN regurgitates.
What do they do that is "fresh"? Cowherd stinks and Patrick is so lame, they had to pay Olbermann big money to help prop his hairdo up every day.
ESPN's idea of cool stories is Polls or tired 2nd string analysts coming in to say nothing new. Bruno has stories from the sidelines, locker rooms and the flavor of game no one else could bring, because they weren't there!
Bruno stands out from the rest because he does what all of those others try to do and fail: inform AND entertain. No one knows more people and is respected by people who work hard to stay the best than Bruno.

i agree. its incredible how much better Bruno sounds now that dead-weight has been shed. i flipped through some of the other national shows, and couldnt believe that bruno was the only show at the "media center" in LA. with his rep and standing, now way does he have to do that. he does it simply to be the best. and at that he is succeeding. the segment b/w him, beano and brown was top notch. Long Live the KING!!!!!

Of course the fact that he is LA based to begin with makes it easier to be in the LA area and at the media center. Because the morning drive shows of the networks don't get the most run in major markets, the networks often decide not to travel those shows except for Super Bowl week when they pretty much send everybody. For other events, Dan Patrick will make the scene for ESPN, not the Morning Show.

meh, now that I have XM and can listen to Tony more I cant believe how boring his show is-----im frankly quite dissapointed (though not really surprised)

Not that any of the other "national" hosts are any better but TB brings next to nothing to the table aside from a decent Rolodex(which he uses to toss out some of the biggest softballs since Rome so he doesnt get thrown off the guestlists at events)....And yeah, its great to sit in a hotel ballroom adjacent to an event, but WTF does that have to do with sports talk radio besides one more free buffet? Bad radio is bad radio even if you broadcast from the White House or the Playboy Mansion.

Time for me to come in again and remind you of the obvious. Tony took a $400K paycut to work for a network that has him on 1/5th of the affiliates that he once had at FOX. Again he was recently one of the top paid sports talk hosts in America and now he can't even break into thr top 30. Nice move huh? He is still great on the air, but acts liek a seven year old when it comes to dealing with management.

Time to OUT that fraud REAL DEAL!

Hey Real Deal! Where do you get your facts, Pluto? Bruno did NOT take a 440k cut and in fact makes more at SNR then he refused to take from FSR. He turned down tons of high paid local gigs and waited 7 months before finally agreeing to SNR on HIS TERMS, from LA. HE is in MORE markets than he was with Fox and is actually in markets Fox never had(except garbage late nite clearances that don't matter) Get some info before you come on here. Next to Rome, Bruno is still the highest paid syndicated guy in the radio business. He makes more than virtually all of the Fox "talent" combined, you idiot!
Only that fraud Dan Patrick is in Bruno's pay scale because his deal includes some TV and magazine stuff.
Some next time you come in here to remind us of "the obvious", put down your crack pipe and stop spreading lies you 2-bit wannabe. What are you a board op at Fox?

Re: Time to OUT that fraud REAL DEAL!

> You are embarrassing yourself. Are you a Bruno clone? A chimp or donkey would know that Tony gave up the majority of his affilate base as he moved to SNR. He makes more than the FSR talent combined? Now you have really lost it. He took a $400K paycut to prove a point. When FOX Sports NET dumped him on Best Damn Sports Show Period and blew up his other TV project, he lost it on the air and went after FSR for no reason. These are the facts. Tony is still great on the air, but will never get back to where he was while working for Premiere.
You hate FSR for your own reasons, but don't look foolish by making those dumb statements. I punked you again!
