Chuck Booms....fired....Goldhammer next

  • Any Cleveland fan that thinks Goldhammer is "on their side" is extremely naïve.

    I can see right through his charade. He's a patronizer. He pretends to be a Cleveland fan on the outside, but on the inside he so badly wants Cleveland to lose.

    Then he gets to put on his "outraged" act.

    He has no radio voice...sounds like a punk kid that hasn't approached puberty yet.

  • Chuck Booms is a gravely voiced, ignorant ass with a big, fat mouth

    and he can't stand not to listen to his own voice.

    I hope he gets permanent laryngitis and nobody will give him a job

    anywhere near a keyboard.

    I hope he gets a gig on "Survivor", and they send him to exile island,

    and leave him there for about five years, alone, with no electronics.

  • To be fair to Goldhammer I heard a few minutes of him calling a Mac basketball game. I think that took more chops than I'd given him credit for. I assume most or many sports talk guys are kind of assigned their slant. Bitching usually stirs up more interest and that is their intent. I see a lot more negativity on Facebook when someone posts about the Browns.

    Mark Munch Bishop is one of the most positive guys you could find. Too bad he has a shitty time slot.

    McCabe was my favorite....Levine is good. He sometimes shows up on 92.3. Didn't care for Booms....too obnoxious....loud. know it all, actually knew nothing. Use to listen to Trivissono, but haven't in years. He became a prima donna, over paid, Knowledgeable, but when he was wrong, never could admit to it. Why do talk show hosts get like that after a few years? Same road Rizzo is going down. He used to be okay on WHK. Goldhammer tries, but doesn't have his own style. I try to listen to him when I can, but it's very difficult when he mimmicks Rizzo's style.

  • Goldhammer has to go, he is terrible. In regards to him getting the job, he openly admits his dad got him the job and probably is the only reason he is keeping it.

  • I miss WHK.

    Pat McCabe and Less Levine.

    No idea how Booms was ever employed in the first place.

    I cant stand Les Levine.. He's smug and talks down to people.. He's rude and he's stupid on top.

    Don't care about that, he could be jewish, catholic or atheist

    He knows NOTHING about sports

    Let alone Cleveland sports

    One of the WORST hires by ANY radio station of all time

    He has to be buddies with the owner or something. Because he has no sports knowledge, no radio voice, no good topics and isnt even a cleveland guy.

    He's a twerp figureskater from Denver who grew up worshiping John Elway. Its an insult to have this negative nelly taking shots at Cleveland every single day.

    His father is friends with the owner of the station. And now he's the program director too. So he isn't going anywhere.

    It's OK for me though, I only have time to listen in the mornings, and he isn't on in the mornings anymore.

    Listened to him every night when I was a kid. Used to fall asleep with the transistor radio under my pillow. I'd listen as long as I could but would fall asleep during the commercials.

    She absolutely murdered her own credibility this off season. (What little she had before!)

    Thats kinda rude Gip. It's not like she's a Steeler fan
  • I have always liked Mike Reghi. Passionate, articulate and keeps it real. Loves his teams without acting like a homer.

    Dislike Brinda.

    Like Hoolz.

    Nobody, I mean, nobody can rant like Rizzo...

    It gets better and better as the recording moves along lol

    "Go gargle with some razor blades" was a favorite Pete Franklin comment to a caller that he disagreed with. It was meant as a reminiscence not as a rude statement

  • I didn't know that, Gip, it seemed out of character when I read it....LOL

  • Yeah Hooley does a nice job.

  • Good God they finally got rid of Booms. I couldn't not stand that ass clown. The guy had no ability to argue his points reasonably without resorting to screaming and name calling. I can't believe how many times driving to work and listening and the majority of the time the guy is screaming at callers and not letting them speak before he would call them names and then kill the caller. Chuck Booms had to be one of the WORST on-air personalities I have ever listened to.

    Now, I'm living in North Carolina and I haven't listened to sports talk down here, obviously because it's pro Carolina everything. Occassionally when I have had a chance I will stream TheFan, but haven't done so in months.
