Cleveland

In the Zone with Kenny Roda

(6 pm – 9 pm)

 

Kenny is like a half-brother to me.  Not in a “family tree” sense, but rather a fervent Buckeyes fan (like me) and equally ardent Steelers supporter (definitely not like me). 

 

Who better than to objectively analyze the Browns than a Steelers fan?  Kenny is excellent at offering strong opinions about all the teams that can be tough for a Cleveland fan to hear but have an air of truth and reality.

 

Conversely, Roda can sometimes let his love for the Indians, Cavs, and Buckeyes cloud his objectivity, but this seems to gain him popularity with his audience.

 

“The Roadman” is also famous for his hilarious impressions of various sports personalities and entertaining interviews which keep the show lively and engaging.

 

VS.

 

Pittsburgh

Stillers 365

(6 pm – 8 pm)

 

This must be for people who need something to make them feel better about their otherwise dull lives.  We get it, we get it…the Steelers won the Super Bowl.  But in the six months outside of football season, there are many other sports and teams to follow.

 

Host Ken Laird is an unabashed Steeler apologist, and rarely has a critical word for the team he covers. 

 

While off-season football conversation about what the team needs to improve can generate some great bar-room arguments, Laird takes the time to congratulate the defending Super Bowl champs and fails to address legitimate issues.

 

Sorry folks, but if you need to listen to Steelers talk all year long, you need to get a life. 

 

WINNER:  “In the Zone with Kenny Roda”
