The only thing worse on the radio, show or caller, is when Eddie Coleman calls into Francesa. Between Eddie saying "Ya know" 1000 times and Mike cutting him off and the general boring dialogue, that's as bad as radio gets.
Kim Jones, in my opinion, is the best female in sports journalism and broadcasting. She is better than most of the men on the radio in this market and should have a regular show.

What does gender have to do with sports reporting?

A lot, unless you think Erin Andrews worked her way up the industry on merit alone.
You don't think gender is a factor? How many other women are on sports talk radio? How many have an on air job in sports broadcasting other than a bogus sideline reporter type of spot?
that Joe and Evan are pretty good. Mark while a nice guy, is not a great listen. Kim Jones is just ok, and I think Sid is pretty good, he usually makes up for Mark.
I don't see any resemblance to Cowherd at all. I can't stand him and I like her.
Cowherd takes the gimmick to the extreme, but Kim has plenty of Cowherd/Francesa-like disdain for her callers, an arrogance earned due to having exactly zero expertise as a sports analyst beyond "person who consumes a lot of sports", i.e. all of us on this message board.
If Cowherd is a 10 out of 1-10 on the scale of being a condescending dick to the audience, Kim's a solid 7.5
Because he is a redskin fan. The guy has good shows he mixes in everything Yankees Mets Giants Jets unlike Evan and joe where you get 5 hours on who the mets can trade for
Yeah, because that's what Joe and Evan do all day every day.
Joe and Evan aren't great but they're a hell of a lot better than the fucking Redskin fan Malusis and as Exit perfectly named her, Kim "I get that" (yeah, us too Kim.. you say it every fucking other sentence) Jones.
1) He says the same thing over and over again for significant parts of his show, but seldom explains why he has the opinion. Example: "Lebron should have announced he was going to Cleveland sooner instead of stringing this thing out." For about 20-30 minutes that's all he said. Why should he have done it sooner? No response.
2) He is a horrible interviewer. He either doesn't understand what the guest says or he doesn't pay attention. His follow up questions are irrelevant to what the guest says, and are usually leading questions. "Wouldn't you agree that Girardi..." blah blah blah.
3) Likewise, he doesn't understand a callers question or he doesn't pay attention. His answers often have nothing to do with what the caller asked. Granted some callers are also stupid, but that makes Malusis more unlistenable. Stupid leading the stupid.
4) He is in the "contrarian for contrarian's sake." He thinks it's good radio to argue with every caller, no matter what the caller says.
The guy basically refines the worst traits of Francessa and Russo.
is god awful and unlistenable. Apart from the miserableness of so many of the hosts, for a station that is purportedly the home of the Yankees and Giants, they talk waaaaay too much Mets and Jets.
Oh - and the incessant baseball talk 24/7/365, even during the thick of the football season. There's a crucial Giants game coming up in Week 14, and Fatcessa brings some turd on to talk about horse racing or Mickey Mantle vs. Willie Mays. You need a rubber room if you listen to the FAN for too long.
ESPN New York, while not great, is an exponentially better listen.

Would not say exponentially better. The only thing good about ESPN radio is Dave Rothernberg. Best on the airwaves IMO.
Everybody on the fan sucks, buck and aikman suck, pam oliver was horrible, erin andrews will be even worse, kay and singleton are brutal, etc. what a bunch of fucking whiners.
Couldn't agree more. And I like Kim Jones for the most part. Just the 2 of them together is horrendous. Malusis is awful.
This... Guy is such a fucking clown, unlinstenable.
As a tandem, I wouldn't listen......snoozefest.

No tandem that doesn't include Carton can be the worst tandem that station ever put together.
.
But, she's a pretty good reporter, and I like her that role rather than sports talk, where you need to be opinionated.
Agree, they are so boring and then they laugh at the dumbest shit for minutes. Hate summertimes at work when evan and joe are on for Mike

Francesa is over 9000.
She's average. Malusis stinks.
As if her right to an opinion was ever questioned.
Yea but listening to joe and Evan talk about Met trade that will
Never happen for 5 hours is real exciting
Joe and Evan aren't great but they're a hell of a lot better than the fucking Redskin fan Malusis and as Exit perfectly named her, Kim "I get that" (yeah, us too Kim.. you say it every fucking other sentence) Jones.
Well said.
He's long-winded as hell. Automatic dial-changer.
But light years better than the fat man

Just what I wanted to hear.
Best host on the FAN.

I disagree. To me he's the only who actually spends time on the Giants.

Francesa is over 9000.
I lol'd.
Meanwhile, Beningo and the child are pathetic
Richard "Mr. Lame" Neer is just that. The guy set the bar low and does just enough to keep breathing.
Carlin - not sure if Miss Sensitive is even on the station anymore
Captain Midnight - i like him but it's pretty basic
Carton - really? The audience must be wrestlng fans.
Paige - like him yet it's overnight
The Pope - the best b/c everybody else sucks.
