From time to time I open up the mail bag and let you read the letters and responses I receive. I like to do it because it let’s you see the wide variety of people who listen. I find it fascinating that I can have one opinion and yet get so many responses. The same opinion will make some think I’m the only “sayer” or truth while others think I’m a menace to society.
Your not a gonad. Second, I sent Wolf a long email explaining to him that basically you are right and he is on crack with his opinions of Coach D’Antoni.
Also, why can’t management make concessions to a coach without the coach getting butt hurt? It happens in everyday jobs all the time.
Thoughts?
Thx…Bobby
I was listing to your show this morning (5/14/08) and the topic was the crowd booing Eric Byrnes. I know it is your job to discuss these topics and I feel that you sometimes take a stance just to disagree with Wolf. I find the fact that you feel you can boo a player’s performance repulsive. I used to take pride in the fact that when people talked about the phoenix fans they could only say good things, but we have become New York. DEF: (New York a bunch of cry babies just like Gambo).
When you say, “I feel that you sometimes take a stance just to disagree with Wolf,” you’re really saying, “I feel you’re a dishonest man.”
Although I can’t thank you enough for listening, I think one man calling another man a liar is far and away more repulsive than booing a professional athlete. I would never argue a point I don’t believe in for the sake of my job. There are plenty of times Wolf and I agree on something we just don’t highlight those moments.
Byrnes accepted the fact that booing could occur during his career once he signed the contract. He had every right to become a history teacher, but he chose to pursue a career in professional sports where athletes get booed.

Hi, How many e-mails did you get on the comment you made yesterday morning. You called the people that work the scoreboard “some scrub”. I bet you knew you screwed up as soon as you said it. Plus I wish you and your partner would stop defending Randy Johnson and his incessant whining. My wife also had two back surgeries, but she isn’t going back to a $14 million a year paycheck and only working every fifth day. With all the money he has I feel no sympathy. Gary The answer to your question is I’ve received one e-mail about the scoreboard, yours. The reason for this is I did not say some scrub runs the scoreboard. Secondly, when has Randy Johnson whined? There is a lot more to pitching than working every fifth day and I didn’t know your wife was a professional athlete. That’s really exciting. I’m assuming this because there’s no way you’d be ignorant enough to compare jobs. Certainly your wife doesn’t throw 100 pitches every fifth day and then throw 50 pitches in a side session all while taking bases loaded walks and hitting the ball to the base of the wall only to trip over first base. My mother-in-law has had two back surgeries as well and I know she couldn’t handle the stress on her back that he puts on his. Randy’s never asked for your sympathy so I don’t see why you think you’re withholding something valuable to him. I think the fact that he makes $14 million is a credit to him that he’s still pitching. Since you’ve made your wife’s back and work ethic the subject of the e-mail, let me ask you a question. If your wife made $14 million whether she came to work or not, would she be going to work everyday? Randy can retire right now and he still makes his money. He’s pitching because he loves baseball, his teammates, and Phoenix. I think that’s pretty cool. However, I don’t pretend to think that he cares what I think. |
I love listening to you in the morning on my way to work. Being relatively new to the valley, you bring less of a “homer” perspective to the table, and seem to be more comfortable than most criticizing local teams when it is warranted. You and Wolf have great chemistry. Thanks for making the drive to work more bearable, keep up the good work!

Doug…it seems to me that the people that constantly rip you guys don’t seem to grasp one simple fact; as a talk-show host, you are PAID to give your opinion, whether the listener agrees with what you are saying or not…just because someone might disagree about your opinion on topic ‘A’ doesn’t make you a moron, and if they happen to agree on topic ‘B’, it doesn’t make you a genius…it’s ONE MAN’S OPINION. You must have the tolerance of a saint to put up with comments like the ones you listed…and I’m REALLY not trying to call some of your listeners some offensive names…
nice show brother, i you guys are the best thing in thing in the AM i drive all day and i am lock on 620.
