Buck Show is no more in the afternoon ?


Recommended Posts

I tend to listen to NFL Sirius the most because they actually talk about football. I do agree I like Pollack's insight into the game and his cut to the chase comments. I always thought that Kincaide sounded more like a shock jock who just starts putting down the callers or judging others he doesn't know. That's called an a hole in my book. I also get annoyed with transplants who come to Atlanta and root for the Falcons when they are on top and are the first to bash them when they hit a bump in the road.

Buck n Kincaid are actually on 680 the fan and Pollack and Bell are on 790. I like listening to all those guys. I can see how Kincaid would rub some people wrong, but I don't mind him. I can also see how Bell would rub people wrong, but he cracks me up. He is a little obnoxious, but he's funny.

Did they mention what is changing? Is Buck leaving, changing times or what?

i like "pollack & bell" as well. not a fan of kincade but I like Buck Belue. However I think Steak is disengenious the way he portrayed. I'm fairly certain that Buck&Kincaide had higher ratings than 790 in the afternoon time slot. If they are moving, its because they wanted a different time slot.

Regardless of numbers, for pure entertainment I rank the head-to-head sports shows as follows:

Atlanta Radio

Morning Drive-Time: 790 Mayhem > 680 Rude Awakening

Mid-Day:680's In the Herd + Chuck & Chernoff > 790's Barnhart & Durham + 2 Live Stews

Afternoon Drive-Time: 680's Buck & Kincaide = 790's Pollack & Bell

I got into it with Kincade one time when he went on a tirade about the homeless guy from Columbus who had the "Golden Voice", somehow being rewarded for laziness. The guy had a serious substance abuse problem, and had an opportunity fall in his lap when he became a youtube sensation. Kincade was calling him a loser and a junkie who didn't deserve what he was being given, as if the guy didn't deserve a second chance. I called him out on being a prick, and suggested that the homeless guy could do Kincade's job in a second, better than him, with no training, and he didn't appreciate that. Kincade proceeded to call me out, calling me, and I'm paraphrasing, "an uneducated idiot, who's never worked for anything, who watches the Kardashians". As if he even knew who I was. I mean who the **** is John Kincade? He's just a smug, bitter, ***** stuck in a place he doesn't want to be for work. He comes off like he is so above everyone and disses Atlanta, as if it's some hellhole. Dude needs to go back to Philly. His very presence is an insult to the city of Atlanta.

Good for you for calling him out on that. I agree with your perspective. Unfortunately guys like that fill in dead air by making asinide comments just to infuriate people so that he gets something to talk about. When I was a lot younger I used to listen to talk radio thinking I might learn something but soon learned that it was one big show full of judgemental a holes whose sole purpose was to make people mad so they would call into their show just so they would take a cheap shot at them then drop their call.

Exactly. John Kincade has quite possibly the easiest, least consequential, job on earth. He essentially regurgitates Sports Center and adds obnoxious commentary to it, as if he has some moral authority. Dude could disappear and no one would notice. If I wanted to listen to Neil Boortz, I'll listen to WSB, I don't need that when I want to hear about the Falcons, Braves, or Dawgs, especially when it's coming from some Philly *****.

Don't really have anything against Buck & Kincaide (although I can see how Kincaide would work people's nerves), but they're not really my cup of tea. Was forced to listen to them yesterday and was reminded why I usually didn't bother. I usually listen to Pollack & Bell during that time. I like the 2 Live Stews but that's a personal thing...Chernoff and Oliver are much bettter with actual sports talk, etc.

It's funny to me how so many 790 folks ended up at 680. Chernoff, Chuck, Brandon Adams, Brandon Leake, I think even Sandra Golden is over there now.
