JdDO is getting his own radio show, marking the fifth member of the chronicle's talented ensemble to land his own local talk show. this is like the late 80s/early 90s all over again when NFL GMs started looting bill walsh's staff for head coaches... had, you know, the head coaches all been a rap to the head away from brain damage.

it's bad enough they have no competition from a daily paper standpoint; now they're going to be able to saturate our airwaves with their unchecked stupidity as well? god help the LCD. this city is about to get a lot dumber...

The Comical is desperate to rebuild circulation, but I'm not sure putting their people on the air so folks can "hear" their writer's columns instead of reading them is the right approach.

Dude's a mumbler extraordinaire with all the charisma of a moistened paper bag.  It'll be the listening equivalent to that Tom Daschle parody that Limbaugh does, minus the laughs....unless hearing ignorance slowly and quietly expanded upon is your thing.

[JGrave]

What station?

97.5

It's going to be called "In Da Clubhouse".

[Taras Bulba]

Why listen to that shit?  Life's too short.

There will always be idiots who flock to that drivel.  Nothing to be done about it.  Let 'em celebrate stupid all they want.

i've never heard the guy complete a sentence without mumbling/stuttering/stammering...that's going to be beyond painful to hear on a regular basis. (hey, anyone ever tell you that you have a great voice for print?!)

is this for real?  what's your source?

this can only mean that some radio programming genius - probably the same one who offered jdjo the on-air gig - will pair him with a witty, high-energy type of co-host with a good bit o'sarcasm thrown in to provide the show with some "balance".  can't wait to hear who they choose...

i nominate alkie

Every so often, I read the comments section in the Chron blogs.  And then I remember that I can actually feel brain cells dying, en masse, as I do so.

You will never see a more wretched hive of scum and ignorance.

So how could they make this worse?  Easy, pair him with EY (Eric Young) of ESPN's BBTN.  Next to Fernando Vina, the worse commentator on baseball on-air to date.  He not only is unlistenable, he's pretty much useless when it comes to real information.  That guy has no opinion, he just says what he's told to say right off the teleprompter.  He's a puppet.

That show is going to be just plain awful.  BTW - John Madani was once a program director here in Austin (1300 the Zone).  He's pretty damn good and hence why ESPN radio stole him away to be the head producer of their radio shows.  The guy is probably pimping EY for a baseball show somewhere and leave it to Houston to make it happen.

Madani is not going to like what he eventually hears from "The Mumbler and Shriek Show".

This show should be avoided like unprotected sex with an Ethiopian transvestite.

[Noe]

I love the picture they used in Barron's column though.  It's Joseph Durate, the one-time Astros beat writer there with JdJO.  It looks like Durate is telling JdJO "Hey, put the fucking earphones and ipod away for a damn minute and listen to me as I explain what a scorecard looks like... damnit!"

[HPFRic]

you just described andre ware, who not only is paid to provide color commentary on texan games, but now hosts a drive-time morning sports talk show...

houston radio: fuck you, new york and los angeles!

Ware provides information for one thing only: QB play.

I had the misfortune of listening to VanderMeer try to shout down John McClain's reasoned () defense of Lidge with nothing more than "I don't care, he's done, they should have gotten him out of town when they could).

Radio anthrax.

I usually do too, especially when the stros lose a game, the texans lose a game, etc.  Today, I thought I would give it another try.  Doah!

i could honestly masturbate into a kleenex and find no less than a million sperm who, in their brief, millisecond-long life, would know more about football than andre ware.

he talks a lot but says nothing, sticking as close to the most obvious cliche as humanly possible. i've never heard him even drive within the same zip code of an insightful thought. the other morning, he kept praising ahman green's potential to help "a guy like matt schaub" and i kept thinking, "damn! if only the texans had a guy like matt schaub...." he's spencer tillman minus the mascara.

He's the one responsible for me no longer listening to XM radio in the morning- Is the show any better with him gone now for any listeners out there?

He was horrible.

It's a very back-handed compliment indeed when I say that I strongly prefer all three of those guys (heck, throw in Kruk for good measure) to Steve Phillips' idiotic, mannered, rehearsed-yet-poorly-read, and utterly useless "contributions" to BBTN. Steve Phillips is probably a big part of the reason the "unwashed" (as Noe is fond of saying) whiners assume that major league GMs are dumb and/or clueless.
