Hard to listen to already. No way BC is beating FSU in Doak.

Without needing a break. Way too intense. Feels smothering in with his “takes” and just style of talking

Personally, I like his style, but I'm a brain-warped gen-z'er with a nonexistent attention span, so take that with a grade of slaw I guess. I've got nothing against Brad as a person, but I didn't care much for him as a host because I found him to be very slow and boring. It also seemed like he rarely took any strong stances, made any bold predictions, offered insights beyond generic and obvious talking points, or had conversations that were interesting or thought-provoking. But I can also see how some people could find Faxon to be too fast and chaotic, as well as going overboard on the long-shot predictions. But in any case, going from Brad to Faxon is like going from a golf cart to a Ferrari.

Brad was certainly too laid back at times

Often seemed to be just going through the motions aimlessly. Also he talked entirely way too much about golf.
I’m giving Faxon a chance for sure. I’m just not listening much right now cause I’m not in football mood yet.

that first start is usually a crap shoot. It is a whole different ball game when your are the man as opposed to just a fill in assignment. A new job limits my listening to the Roar, but for sure my least favorite time slot has been 9-12. I've heard Faxon some, I honestly do not have an opinion one way or another. I do think he has earned some grace as he switches to his new role. We are all works in progress; I just thought it ironic how little time it took for tigernet to start bellyaching. Tigernet is not the only sight where i read some critical remarks. To me it is just a reminder of how impatient and critical we are in society in general.

The whole station is hard to listen to. It's like 85% commercials anyway.

He at least has some juice although needs to take e breath once in awhile. Brad was kind of nasily and monotone.

Was thinking that yesterday. Talking way too fast to the point it was giving me a headache. Would make a great auctioneer.
