I can take Ainge in small doses. When he goes full retard on a hashtag rant or starts playing graba$$ with J-Bay I have to turn it off.

You mean Josh Ward? Why do you hate Will West? Josh is clearly the more talented of the two, but I like Will just fine. I don't mind Wilkerson, but I've never really heard him provide anything that would make me put him atop any sort of a list.
I know it's just a Thursday thing, but can we put Hubbs on the list for BEST? He's not a really charismatic guy, but I always enjoy listening to what info he's got to share.

The worst:
1. Basilio and it's not even close. The next show prep he does will be the first time for him. The only thing he knows how to do is throw out a controversial topic and cater to the dumbest listeners in the market area (they love him...all 10 of them, they used to call every show). I thought he had finally been run out town but apparently, he still has a show. I saw his car parked out in front of Calhoun's lately. It was filthy and had a faded wrap advertising his show.

2. Heather and Jacoby: Neither one knows anything about sports and neither one ever shuts up. The only time I ever listen to the show is during football seasons when they have Pat Ryan on the air. He knows what he is talking about but Heather and Jeff won't shut up long enough to let him talk. As pointed out earlier they have about 40 min of commercials every hour, too. Doc is OK but the other two plus the callers make the show unbearable.

3. Hooker: The Pillsbury Doughboy with a personality that is part John Adams and part Basilio. Was glad when he left the Knoxville air waves and hated to see him return.

The former players(Swain, Treece, Ainge) on TSR are able to give a good insight to the game but Ainge does get too juvenile too often. Wilkerson and Hyams are good during football season because they give more facts and don't suffer fools who call in with biased comments (they make them back up their statements with facts, which most can't do).

For those that ask why Hooker is on the very bad list - this is the best, most accurate explanation. Which leads to adding Adams to the bad list since he subs in on the SA at times. He is as nauseating to listen to as he is to read.

Ive never heard a collection of individuals not know anything about sports, yet talk about them like they do, like Doc, Jeff and Heather. They are clueless, particularly Doc and Heather. Heathers voice is nauseating which doesnt help. Im gettin all irritated just thinking thinking about that show!

we've all been spoiled by the Jon Ward's, Bobby Denton's, Mike Hammond's, Mike Keith's, and yes to an extent Brent Hubbs as little as he's on the radio. id pay to listen to him over cheggerboard bob all day.

im too lazy for a poll. but im interested in opinions lf the masses. who you got? heather doesnt get a vote bc shes much better looking than any other personalities, and THAT fellas goes a lot farther in that business, than you think.

If John Pennington counts, then I would say him. That's under the assumption that Bumbling Bob is right out.

Other than that?

Dearstone
Hyams
John "fake laugh" Wilkerson
Heather
Jeff Jacoby

Toss up as to who is the worst of that bunch. Flip a coin on any given day.

Honorable mentions: E-e-e-eric and R-r-r-r-rodger

Hubbs is a company man meaning he swings with fan majority. Dont blame him as he has his business to run.
Dont think he would be much better just on radio.

Mickey Dearstone is the worst by far. I refuse to listen to the Sports Animal in the morning. It's just awful. IMO

That is not Heather Harrington unless she aged 10 years and got a nose job.

I disagree. She's not hot enough to cover the drivel from her mouth. It's painful.

I agree with most everyone who's been mentioned thus far, but I personally can't stand listening to Andrew Darago (sp?) that is on Hooker's show. The guy always sounds like his eating lunch and mid-chew when he says something. Always seems to say things without thinking them through all the way.

When the whole "getting rid of the Pride" thing broke, his take was "Bye Bye, band. I, and everyone I know, doesn't even get to the stadium to see the band for pregame." What kind of fan cares so little about the pre-game tradition and opening the T?

And then he mentioned on air that he wasn't going to the Tennessee/Florida game on Tuesday because his lady-friend had to study. ? Wouldn't that mean you SHOULD go to the game? "It's okay, honey. I know you're studying, but I'll just stay here and watch Tennessee basketball and disctract you."

I'm also pretty sure he was BWI (Broadcasting While Intoxicated) after one of the games. Slurring his words pretty bad that day.

Treece and Steve Phillips have a good show.
The swain event is good although, Seth Stokes should stop growling when he wants to make a point.
EA show and hooker show are entertaining.
Doc heather and who ever is boring.

Agree, the growl is real annoying... :no:

Doc is the absolute worst. My parents and I always make fun of him. I think Josh Ward is the best. He is smart and doesn't usually say outlandish things. West will say somethong completely retarded and he will usually call him on it.

Now that I live in Nashville I can't stand the morning show. Howard has zero personality and gets really angry anytime someone ribs him. Frank can't shut the $@#% up.
