John Sterling on sports talk radio

While I no longer hold much against John Sterling from his days as a not so nice sports talk show host, it was a bit unnerving hearing him today on WFAN radio.

A late acquaintance held it as a “badge of honor” that Sterling used his infamous “give it a rest you creep” as a response to one of his questions.

Far more annoying than Sterling ever was and even the inexorable passage of time is the fact Sterling uttered before his “nice turn” as host today.

“Every city and hamlet has some form of sports talk radio.” That claim is true and since as Bob Costas once said it is mostly heat and not light,” how sad a state!

John Sterling pictured above once had an opening that cited sports “greats” and he as “Superstar”

As offensive as that was– ubiquitous sports talk radio is far worse.
