In my opinion they have the best show on WFAN. I wish they were permanently on every day all year.

Worst tandem that station has ever put together. Brutal, painful, unlistenable radio.
Malusis is a straight up moron...

Couldn't agree more. And I like Kim Jones for the most part. Just the 2 of them together is horrendous. Malusis is awful.

should have a reg show. Moose is meh tho I caught them for an hr today and he wasnt bad.

Danny Kanell : 7/18/2014 12:52 pm : link
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.
Moose sucks  
Matt M. : 7/18/2014 12:53 pm : link
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.
Jones is ok...  
BillKo : 7/18/2014 12:53 pm : link
but Malusis is boring IMO.

As a tandem, I wouldn't listen......snoozefest.
Malusis is bad  
micky : 7/18/2014 12:54 pm : link
what was worse, last week Malusis was paired with Sid Rosenburg..they couldn'y stink as much than as if you pulled a skunk out of a skunk's ass
KJ should absolutely have a regular show  
Giants11 : 7/18/2014 12:55 pm : link
She is superb and an easy listen.
Kim Jones is great.  
bceagle05 : 7/18/2014 12:59 pm : link
Not a Malusis fan - I feel like he tries too hard to rip off Chris Russo's schtick, which is painful enough as it is.

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.
Malusis is awful; Kim is a Cowherd clone  
Kyle : 7/18/2014 1:15 pm : link
The sports radio broadcaster as obnoxious elitist with disdain for most of their audience is just the worst.

No tandem that doesn't include Carton can be the worst tandem that station ever put together.

I don't see any resemblance to Cowherd at all. I can't stand him and I like her.

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?
I think with Kim...  
BillKo : 7/18/2014 1:27 pm : link
you can almost predict what she's going to say, almost as if if it's the canned answer.

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
goes to show  
sshin05 : 7/18/2014 1:35 pm : link
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.

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

Francesa is over 9000.

Kim "I Get That" Jones?

She's average. Malusis stinks.
My favorite Kim Jones technique  
Exit 172 : 7/18/2014 1:43 pm : link
is when a caller disagrees with her and she barks back, "I have a right to my opinion, OK?"

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
Why does moose suck  
nygnyy274 : 7/18/2014 1:46 pm : link
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
.  
arcarsenal : 7/18/2014 1:46 pm : link
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.

I like Kim Jones, but she is weird with some callers when she disagrees

But light years better than the fat man

Gap92 : 7/18/2014 2:09 pm : link
I wish he got better slots. Knows his stuff and isn't a loudmouth.
Reasons why Malusis sucks:  
SB : 7/18/2014 2:47 pm : link
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.
WFAN as a whole  
lawguy9801 : 7/18/2014 2:48 pm : link
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.
Oh yeah - I almost forgot  
lawguy9801 : 7/18/2014 2:50 pm : link
Mad Dog used to talk San Francisco Giants and tennis about 1/3 of the time.

Just what I wanted to hear.

Would not say exponentially better. The only thing good about ESPN radio is Dave Rothernberg. Best on the airwaves IMO.
Dave Rothenberg strikes me  
Exit 172 : 7/18/2014 4:21 pm : link
as pretty amateurish. Maybe a small-market pro, at bet. Hard to believe he's got an evening gig in New York.

Moose would get old quickly. He's awful solo and Jones good in spirts IMO

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.
