This is getting ridiculous already.![]()
theyre on like a 10 second delay so although a very good idea, it would never make it on the air.I would have yelled "go **** yourself Schein" and then turned the station.
You calling someone a homer is hysterical. I would bet 90% of "experts" pick the jets ahead of the dolphins and looing at it logically there's no other way to pick them. That doesn't mean Miami can't be better but the odds are they won't be. Adam Schein is actually very good at what he does, he isn't a homer at all. He praises and bashes the Jets when he feels it's warranted. He's the only non homer on the SNY shows but b/c someone says the Jets will be better than Miami you automatically think there's some conspiracy. It's comical- as usual unintentional comedy.
You think the situations are similar?![]()
I was just on with Schein about 5 minutes ago. An older guy called in talking about the Dolphins and after the call, Schein proceeded to totally bag on the team and the organization, saying that they are clearly the worst team in the division.
I couldn't stand pat so I called in. I told him that while I do enjoy listening to the show, it's clear to me that his bias toward the Jets completely jades his opinions of the Dolphins. He made it a point to say that he hears that about him a lot and went on to clarify that he is NOT a fan of the Jets but does some radio work for them.
I said that while the Dolphins were only 6-10 last year that they swept the Bills. He said...'Kyle, can you honestly tell me that as they are presently constructed, the Dolphins are better than the Bills?' To which I replied...'I do...the Dolphins were much more of a mess last year than they are now and they swept the Bills. They are much more stable now, Ryan Fitzpatrick is extremely overrated and how is Mario Williams going to help the Bills put more points on the board?"
I continued...."The Dolphins played very well down the stretch last year and should have beaten the Giants. In fact, they outplayed the Giants for most of that game."
Before I could go on, my call got mysteriously disconnected.
How have Miami fans (myself included) not boycotted/protested this joke and many of the other media jokes we have covering the team, like Omar and Mando??
I don't listen to Adam ever, but it angers me to no end when a host (any) cuts someone off just because they're right, or because the on air talent can't retort. You're in a position of "power" and when a caller disagrees, GOODBYE.
If the ratings took that big of a hit, you bet your @$$ they'd have to make a change.
Just a random thought is all.
Key word, "talent" or lackthereof. In Scheins case, he is completely void of talent and unbiasness.
Was anything said after I got cut off? I called on my lunch break and had to get back to work. For a second I thought maybe it was my phone, but then I thought...'I bet they disconnected me intentionally'.
My next point was going to be that he bases his opinions about the Dolphins solely on what every other radio/TV personality bases their opinions on....the Dolphins front office shenanigans (the handling of Sparano...the courting of Harbaugh) rather than the team's actual play on the field.
