So I'm giving the show a listen....
In fairness, I am NOT a huge fan of the Carton and Boomer pairing on paper.
But the formula that seems to work best with Craig is Craig + Nice Guy. Craig and Sid didn't work because they were two antagonists. Craig and Rossi worked because it was Good Cop/Bad Cop. Boomer isn't exactly a "nice guy". He's more of a nice guy than Sid, but he's got ...

And Craig just mentioned him on the air. I think both Al and Lou Ruffino are producing the show, but it appears Charles McCord has cut ties with the show. Tracy Burgess is doing news.
Discussion: Schiano's work at Rutgers, and the potential of Schiano leaving to take over for Paterno at Penn state
Carlin: "You don't want to be the guy that follows The Guy. You want to be the guy AFTER the guy that follows The Guy."
Boomer: "Uh..."
Carton: "Well, you're talking to two guys that followed The Guy..."
I lol'ed.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Craig Carton!!!!! I have a pic of him on my myspace! He also writes for the Gannett sometimes. He knows his shit and calls it like it is.
Wow, I think Boomer just set the new radio two-a-day record.
He did a full four-hour morning show this morning and he's currently doing the analysis on Westwood One for the Colts/Saints game.
Which means he's going to do 8 hours of radio over 1000 miles apart.
Marv Albert, who is doing PBP for the game, and whose trademark is just destroying boomer on-the-air, is just ragging on ...

A few days ago I was starting to hate Carton because he can be a whiney b*tch sometimes and it gets old. But today he was funny again. He always keeps me guessing.

I'm ok with that schedule except I can't stand WFAN New Yorkkkkkkk. F'n hate the METS!!!!! And all other NY teams. Carton & Rossi were on at 2 and I would switch back and forth between them and R&F but I no longer have to worry about that so that problem has been solved. I hate listening to replay if I already listened to the show live thats when I surf XM and hit up the country stations.
Quote: Radio Dentist posted some criticism about the show, faulting them for not "focusing" the show. Pay that man no mind... At first I said it was "OK", but I have the change that now and said I think this show is Very Good and constantly improving. Boomer and Carton have better chemistry now and Boomer is not as hesitant to get mixed up in coversation he may have stayed away from in the past. Plus, Al Dukes sings! I...

Quote: Originally Posted by Freitag I wouldn't go that far. It's definitely a very different dynamic than Craig had with Ray. I will admit that Boomer is very wooden some times, but that's part of the show's uniqueness. It's not two dorks like Mike and Mike, or a pompous jerk like Francesa .
