I talked with Darby for 15 minutes and he was very passionate about the weather. He said he always wanted to be the weather guy when he was a kid. I guess the meteorologists are exempt from getting into reporting the woke news.

Chuck is good at baseball as it was slow enough for him to keep up. The other two, he struggles and his voice is just annoying, puts you in a bad mood.


Agree with this. Its sad because Chuck is actually really, really good at calling baseball games, but thats the only thing he doesnt call.

He's so/so at football, but he is not good at basketball IMO.

Spot on.

Chuck was too busy licking pole and giving out hand jobs in the Broyles Complex and putting their bull shite propaganda out there back in the day. When he had his call in show, he would talk down to fans and sit on his high horse drinking champagne with his pinky high in the air. He alienated a lot of fans back in the 2000's and some have never really forgotten it. I'm one of those fans.

It's amazing that he does basketball and football. He sucks at it. With that said, he is excellent at calling baseball games. I still wouldn't trade the duo of Phil and Bubba though.

tl;dr version: Chuck sucks, he's a company man, and he thinks we are all knuckle dragging buffoons.

Chuck has bad habits of sounded super excited when something bad is happening to us in basketball. Love Zimmerman on twitter but he is horrible and way to enthusiastic on the radio call. Chuck was great at baseball but I like Phil as much if not more? Him and Bubbas chemistry is great. At times miss Schaefer having every stat ever off the top of his head.

Chuck's voice will make it sound like he's about to say "TD Arkansas" when actually our QB threw a pick 6 and suffered a season ending injury.

I used to love when there would be a routine pop fly to the infield and Rick would ejaculate a little and you would think it was hit into the Mississippi River. I actually do love Rick's love for the Hogs.

People may poke fun of Rick for farting rainbows, but you can never doubt how much he loves the Hogs.

Ditto.

He was a shithead on the air in his Sports Wrap days. He was a pompous arse who didn't even try to hide his disdain for our fan base, and he was the ringleader (along with Schaeffer) of the diehard Nutt supporters.

lets not forget this....

quote:

For the past 12 years, a Little Rock sports talk radio station, 103.7 The Buzz, has promoted its “Babe Bracket,” a March Madness-style tournament to rank local female television journalists. Kellerman agreed to go on “The Show With No Name,” which hosts the bracket, two years ago to tout the accomplishments of one of his reporters.

But afterward, he felt gross.

Kellerman, news director at NBC affiliate KARK and at Fox 16, respected the journalist’s work, but felt that a Babe Bracket was, at best, a disingenuous way to show that. The bracket’s creators say it’s not a contest about good looks but rather a forum for female journalists to highlight their accomplishments, the stories they’re working on and charities they support.

But last Thursday, Kellerman published a piece on his blog with the headline, “Opinion: It’s time to end the Babe Bracket.”

I remember when Rick had a caller on, it was the father of a recruit and I believe it was Kodi Burns. Rick being the all knowing being that he was began talking down on the caller and told he was wrong. Well the caller began yelling and the rant lasted several minutes and as Rick tried to interrupt the caller then he started chewing Rick out.

Since I'm still stuck here in Eastern Arkansas (working on the move but had to get the car fixed which gobbled up a big chunk of the money I'd put back) I get to watch the undead anchors at WMC. I swear the station is run by cats because they hate change of any kind.

As an example... "Big" Jack Eaton was the sports director from 1956 until he retired in 91. At which point his hand picked successor Jarvis Greer took over and he's held the job up till now though he's retiring soon I think. People have been born, raised a family, seen their grandkids, and passed away in the 66 years they held that job between them.
