I thought about it for awhile and I figured out why I find him so
distasteful.

Dude has a good radio voice. I enjoyed listening to him at first.

The problem with him is his worldview is so small, yet he pimps
himself as God's Gift to the Rest Of Us.

"Yes, I am Bleeping Brilliant!" (oft-repeated Hacksaw line)

Memo to Hacksaw: you're not dumb, but you're not nearly as smart as
you think you are. There's nothing more annoying than someone talking
about how great they are when they're really not that great.

That sort of attitude is enough even when it comes from someone who
truly is all that. I can get with someone who can back up the talk by
walking the walk.

Hacksaw, you're not Bleeping Brilliant. If you get another show, you'd
be wise to stop pimping yourself like that and actually listen to what
some of your better callers (although there aren't many) have to say.

One of his most irritating traits was to cut off a caller and then
incorrectly paraphrase what the guy said. Whenever he did that I just
switched the channel.

Of course, I'm hoping Scott and BR are next - I'm tired of hearing about
Scotts kids barfing over the weekend or what movie he saw last Saturday or
hearing them suck each other's cajones at signoff. If I go to a sports
channel I want sports not 'The View"

Actually I've stopped listening to them too... so I guess it doesn't matter.

My bad.

I haven't listened to sports talk radio in at least five years. And you know
what? My sports knowledge hasn't suffered one bit.

I had enough when Scott chose going to see the movie "High School Musical"
over an Aztec basketball game....... went on and on about how wonderful the
movie would be and how he couldn't miss it.
