I agree to a degree... Adidas has a pretty good product. There is a reason they are an extremely successful brand in a NIKE driven market.
To say that The Sports Animal puts a product out as good as Adidas is not entirely accurate. Dearstone is a bigot at heart, and is extremely prejudice about sports he's never played. Unless you are talking to him about Golf, Bball, Football(sparingly), and baseball he is as closed minded and wrong as could be. I dislike Dearstone immensely. Jacoby is a good person and contributes more to that show than anyone. Heather is dumber than a box of rocks.
The 10-Noon show used to be funny and much more entertaining when Hooker was on it. Not that I agree with him, but he had a lot of good guests on, and he was constantly ripping on people. Made me chuckle...
I think the best show running right now is Josh Ward's and whoever is with him for the day. Hyams just is out of the loop and his material is quite obviously planned week by week with little room for anything "new" that happens during the week. Golf talk and Tennis talk is a waste of two perfectly good hours. I enjoy hitting the links, but golfer's are boring guests for the most part, and it is an hour of pimping Fairways and Greens... I will watch the golf channel and learn some things along the way. Jimmy just talks about the pin location like you can see it...
Basilio is the Howard Stern of local sports talk. I've been to a couple of his remotes(by coincidence) and have debated and talked with him about a few things. He just doesn't have very thought out opinions IMO and he is just doing slapstick and tired comical quips. He tries way too hard to be cool. If you try to be cool, you are far from it. Being cool is something you can't fabricate and he has been failing at that for 20+ years. The best thing about Basilio is he has a pretty good and pleasing to the ear style of radio voice. That's about the only compliment I can toss his way. Oh yeah, and I would like to thank him for allowing me to win more than one of his little basketballs several years ago at Breakers. I didn't keep any of them which is probably why he kept letting me win as I was the only knowledgable UT fan in the building or the only one sober enough to answer the questions. I gave out 7-10 of those balls to other people, and that had to have been 50% of the balls he brought with him.
