No, Jagger's knowledge for COWBOYS football is sort of limited being that he is a Steelers fan. Jagger knows football, but HOW can 1 show that didn't start out a sports show compete with the Ticket and ESPN.
The managers know that he wasn't a sports talk guy, but if they want to keep fans around they are keeping Jagger probably until Jagger gives the F.U to management.

I think you give "management" way too much credit. I think the decision went like this
<<New York CBS Headquarters>>
Big-Shot Manager - "Hey, this FreeFM thing didn't work out. To justify my paycheck I will now propose we do the exact same thing, except with sports! We'll call the stations 'The Fan' because, hey, we're from New Yowk and everyone love Da' Fan!!!"
Everyone - "Yeah, Da' Fan is awsome! We need to spread the awsomeness to the rest of the poor poor US that doesn't have the priviledge of getting to live in New Yowk!"
Some guy - "What do we do with this station in Dallas"
Big-Shot Manager - "Well, we need to keep the morning show, because everyone knows that the morning show is the anchor of the station. The morning show is the one show that everyone who listens to 105.3 identifies with. So we need to keep that to keep the audience and then we'll build sports programming around it"
Some guy - "But what about the afternoon guy"
Big-Shot Manager - "What about him? Fire him! He's just an afternoon drive guy. Everyone knows the anchor is the morning show! Now who wants to go out for a pizza pie and a Yankees game!"

Heh, ya they gotta keep the morning guy because we all know what happened the last time they picked a new morning show. David Lee Roth.
I do think Jagger and crew have been told to talk sports more. Each time I tune in for a while they're talking sports. And guess what...they suck at it!! Jagger's show is much more entertaining talking current events, entertainment, politics, etc. They're dull when doing sports talk and it drags down the show. I'm listening less and less. I think Jag's days at the Fan are numbered....as is the station's whole sports format.
I agree. I quit listening to Jagger a couple weeks ago. I was a faithful listener for years since he started at The Edge but I have had enough. If I wanted to hear sports talk I would listen to one of the two sports stations in D/FW (The Ticket or ESPN). The show is not entertaining, the crew seems like they are just mailing it in and Jagger is acting like a total a$$ to what little callers they have. I am willling to bet that most of their fan texts or instant feedbacks are written ahead of time and are not sent in by listeners. The rest of the day is unlistenable. I imagine they will flip formats around the first of they year.
I hope that Jagger leaves 105 for 1360. I really miss having an adult talk station like back in the day with O&A, Stern, P&K, etc.

If Jagger sucks at sports why should he go to 1360?

I agree as far as sports talk goes Jagger blows. It's excruciating listening to him & his crew trying to talk sports. He actually complained the other day about college football because there were too many teams to keep track of. I mean c'mon that's what's called doing your homework, if u can't handle it then go somewhere else where u can talk about random crap & leave the sports talk to people who actually know sports.
