Stephen A and Ryan Ruocco, I have yet to hear it. I get that Stephen
A. rubs some people the wrong way but even those who hate him realize
he is a huge personality and pairing him with Ruocco who has the
personality of a house-plant is just painful to listen to. I don't
know what it is but Stephen A. grows on you like a weird looking mole
and after a while you kind of like him. Ruocco on the other hand is
like a stray hair which you hardly notice
I am convinced that it's only a matter of time when Ruocco just
disappears and it would do nothing to the show because in two hours he
gets less than 5 minutes of total airtime. ESPN Radio realizes it
because if you have noticed every commercial they run for this show
only features Stephen A. ranting and raving about God knows what and
often never even has a single second of Ruocco.
The beauty of Stephen A. is that he actually has conversations with
himself. He asks a question and then proceeds to answer it in a
different vocal tone, it's like listening to the internal dialogue of
a mental patient...but it makes for good radio
Just look at their official online promo ad, it has Stephen A's name
in bold print and Ruocco's in standard font. I am surprised they
don't change the "and" to "with"
There is one thing I am absolutely convinced of, if they dropped
Ruocco and replaced him with Robin Lundberg tomorrow, nobody would
notice INCLUDING Stephen A.!!!!
