qam has too much Omar Kelly. However, I appreciate the bull crap he gives out per interview. Such as this week...Omar said he watched 8 to 9 hours of Carolina and Miami film. Are you serious, Omar? He is liar along with being a terrible writer.
Used to be WQAM..but considering the loss of Mad Dog and the addition of Sid.. they've taken a quantum stride backward (and that's not even factoring in Michael Irvin).
790 is entertaining . . . but probably the weakest when it comes to "actual" sports knowledge.
Cosign with Vaark . . . WQAM was the best when they had MadDog from like 1 to 4 and then Goldberg from like 4 to 7, 2 guys who actually "knew" their sports.
640 . . . meh.
I can deal with Sid, so I stick with QAM, but the sports radio pretty much sucks down here, well atleast it isn't "as" good as it once was.

Does 790 or 640 stream online? Guess I can google it...

WQAM has one of the worst lineups in sports radio today...Gino Toretta is like listening to paint dry. Michael Irvin sounds like a crackhead (oh wait, he is) and Sid is abrasive and obsessed with New York sports. I have no idea how Joe Rose is as I am on the West Coast and can never listen.
I much prefer to listen to 790 these days. The Sports Brothers and LeBatard are actually fun to listen to and they mix in enough different stuff as to not get stale.
I also like the Finsiders show on the Sports Animal station.

Overall, 790 is my favorite station. 790 IMO is more entertaining.
I couldn't find videos for all shows, so I did my best.
The morning drivetime show is Jorge Sedano. He mixes it up and talks about sports & the entertainment industry. Here's a taste:
Sedano talks about Superbowl
[video=youtube;5pf-tHZLOi4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pf-tHZLOi4[/video]
Sedano interviews Rodman (while his girlfriend takes "matters" into her own mouth lol)
[video=youtube;igbDAybNcfo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igbDAybNcfo[/video]
Then there's the Colin Cowherd show (ESPN). He's your stereotypical "intellectual" sports talk host. Very entertaining and throws out unique opinions sometimes...makes you think. Pretty funny.
Cowherd talks about LeBron

Rant about "Starbucks Guy"
[video=youtube;vvhK1MBSXa4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvhK1MBSXa4[/video]
The Sports Brothers comes next. They keep things pretty light...a mildly entertaining show.
The Dan LeBatard show with Stu Gotz is the evening drivetime show, and my favorite show overall...keeps me laughing, and LeBatard is...well, LeBatard...some love him, some hate him. I think he's brilliant.
LeBatard rant after LeBron signed with Miami

LeBatard rant after Heat beat the Celtics in the playoffs
[video=youtube;luWw4MsqNKw]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=luWw4MsqNKw&feature=related[/video]
After that is the Zaslow Show. eh....it's okay. BIG TIME Heat homer lol.
Let's be clear: ANY of these shows beat the Michael Irvin Show w/ Captain Curtis. That show is ridiculously bad. The guy can't even speak proper English, talks over the host constantly who is supposed to drive the show, talks over his guests, etc. The show is DREADFUL. He sounds very, very dumb.
WQAM used to be my favorite station back when the Mad Dog and Hank Goldberg were on. They've fallen off though over the years. Joe Rose gives you your hardcore sports talk...somewhat, but he gets annoying. The next two shows that follow are an atrocity. The Gino Toretta show and the Michael Irvin Show. Gino Toretta and Michael Irvin are painful to listen to. I swear, if I have to hear Toretta say, "ya know what i'm sayin?" one more time.....
After those two abortions of a show, there's the Sid Rosenberg Show. He can be very entertaining, and sometimes I can't stand him...hit or miss.
Following him is the Kevin Rogers Show. He has an okay show, reminds me a little of Ed Kaplan.
640 is terrible IMO, especially the morning show. The only saving grace is The Orlando Alzugaray show. He reminds me of a young Hank Goldberg. When you want your Dolphins fix, he can definitely help you there. He gets annoying to me at times though, talking over people just like Goldberg did, but he does know his sports.
most famously but when you want your hardcore sports fix, my favorites are Orlando Alzugaray from 640, and

another QAM guy who surprisingly knew a heck of a lot and approached it from a cynical, no-holds-barred fan's perspective was the very entertaining late great Neil Rogers.
*sigh" Neil, Hank, Mad Dog....you don't appreciate what you got until it's gone

Yea definitely can't forget about Neil . . . a legend . . .gay as hell but a legend indeed. I don't think alot of people respected his sports knowledge, but he was as knowledgeable on sports as just about anybody. Man QAM had a lineup back then.
I don't mind Sedano on 790 . . . Lebatard is hit and miss for me, though sometimes very entertaining . . . I don't get much sports from Dan. I threw in the towel on 790 when I heard Armando Salguero had his own show.
