Mega Flare 5,544 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I'm glad the games will be on a strong radio signal when I get priced out of my sideline seats. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dmite 3,675 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I like it, but they also have the Hawks, so there will be a few months of overlap there. Hopefully they schedule games at different times. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aerosmith67 2,468 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 the new 790 the zone ..... *That you can actually hear below I-20 and all the way up 400. It is truly stupid that there's only 1 station in Atlanta Sports that can back up that claim. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully they schedule games at different times.82 Regular Season Hawks games vs. 16 Regular Season Falcons games, which one will take priority over the course of a year? Also note that 92.9 carried both this year and it wasn't an issue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

natod12 485 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 love it,with all the falcons and hawks talk and better radio personalities i havent tuned into 680 in a couple months now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sirlot 166 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 the new 790 the zone ..... You're thinking of 680 (93.7). They now have all the old 790 radio host minus Mike Bell. They can enjoy burning in flames like 790 did Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bigbabygrady 394 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I used to listen to 680 in the morning but I decided I can't stand chris dimino anymore. he never shuts up. he knows a lot about baseball I guess, but I don't think he knows anything about football and the way he states his opinions is like "if you don't agree with me then you're an idiot." I hate himI still listen to chernoff and chuck oliver on the way home from work. they are entertaining and matt is a falcons fan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sirlot 166 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 love it,with all the falcons and hawks talk and better radio personalities i havent tuned into 680 in a couple months nowI can't even understand Chris Dimino. His flow is just off. He starts off like he is about to make a good point then starts adding in fragmented sentences and questions in his speech. If he says "can I ask a question?" Or "is it my turn" or "can I have the floor" one more time.... Ugh Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Falcon Ben 1,570 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Dimino is pne of the smartest sports talk guys in this town. You guys are crazy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They can enjoy burning in flames like 790 did790 still had the broadcasts to the game though. I think in Atlanta 92.9 would play them but trying to PIRATED VIDEO IS ILLEGAL I still had to use the 790 app. I can delete it once and for all now I guess. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dominique is Manufique 638 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Dimino is far superior to anyone else in this town at sports talk radio. Chuck chernoff are god awful. 92.9 sucks donkey. All gloom and doom there and they treat sports talk like its drive by northerners passing by. Horrible. 680 mornings are good until Kincaid and puke buck show up. Those two are by far the worst in the atl. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
g-dawg 43,566 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 92.9 the game needs more talent! Mike Bell is not enough. Please, please, please hire some decent football guys.How 'bout some guys that are free agents now:1) Dave Archer - sure he will be there, right?2) Wes Durham - gotta be there right?3) JP4) Alge - i know some don't like him but he knows football.

Plus, now they're the flagship of two local teams so they can't trash the teams like they used to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rick James sounds like he is going through puberty every time he talks with his squeak-azz voice inflections - and, on top of his awful voice - he is stupid to boot.Randy Cross is the worst kind of announcer - he thinks he is smart but he never has a valid point.Mark Zinno is clueless about Atlanta Sports and says clueless things every day. He worked w/ Mike Bell one day (filling in for Carl Dukes) and every discussion they had - Zinno was on the wrong end. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kincade thinks he's so **** superior when in reality he makes one annoying moronic comment after another.And Buck Belue, geez, the only thing keeping him on the air is his UGA fame.
