Not a fan of Rieger's delievery, it's too "Ron Radio" for me, but he does a great job with interviews and pre/post game. When Armando got his near-perfect game everybody (reporters) went to the Tigers locker room, but Jeff did not, Jeff went to the Umpire's Room and talked to Jim Joyce less than a minute after he saw the video of his bad call. That Jim Joyce audio was some of the best work of a local reporter ever.

The thing about Dan Leach is that he's really like that. The guy is running full speed into a heart attack. He does have a gambling issue and Valenti, tongue and cheek as it seemed, was really trying to get him to stop gambling and when Leach didn't stop Valenti had enough.

If that is true then Valenti is a bigger narcissistic a$$ than I imagined.
1. Where does Valenti come off deciding who has a gambling problem?
2. Where does Valenti come off deciding its his job to fix that problem?
3. Who dumps a friend with a problem just because they are struggling to fix their problem?

It's obvious Leach does have a gambling issue because that is all he talks about.

Back on the main topic. I am pleasantly surprised (I only listened to the first hour) that the morning show is talking a lot more sports now. Maybe I will start listening again.

It isn't all he talks about....far from it.
The definition of a gambling problem is somebody who loses more than they can afford. Does anybody here have evidence that is the case with Leach? And even if he did why would Valenti take it upon himself to "help" the guy when he doesn't even like him?
And in any case with respect to Valenti you ignored points 2 and 3

Agreed. But the added music beds under some of the discussions is so f-ing obnoxious!

Jamie's a good guy,from all appearances,but he's a rich Southern California boy whose sports expertise stops at polo and skateboarding.
