Donald Driver dishes on WSSPs "Peter Brown Show"

[Homer Jay]

DD reminded me of William Henderson on ESPN. The talking heads kept trying to get them to say something bad about their teammates or organization and Donald and William kept throwing it back in their faces. I respect them both a lot. I always respected what they did on the field, now they seem to be defining what "Packer People" are.

[Joemailman]

Who is Peter Brown anyway? I've honestly never heard of him. Is he a Packer fan or just another sports radio talking head?

When I was still living in Illinois (up until 1996), he was on ESPN radio in Chicago. Don't know when he moved to Wisconsin, but his act in Chicago was pretty much the same.

Bout time you all see things my way. I was really happy when I found out that Milwaukee was getting a full time sports talk radio station. That is until I listened to these shock jock morons. Brown has had a reputation for slamming everything and being just about as negative as you can be on the radio. Unfortunately that radio statation has taken the personality of Peter Brown on everyone one of its local shows. He slams everything that has to do with Wisconsin sports and the kicker is, he has never lived here. The only time he has followed sports in Wisconsin is when he got the offer to come here and do his own show.

I took 1250 off my radio's memory, and I beg the rest of you to do the same. Do not fall into the trap that you have to defend your opinion to these schmucks. They have nothing worth while to say. I am sure that Peter Brown is patting himself on the back after that interview with DD. His fat ass is probably happier than a pig in shit, but in reality he should be embarassed of his disrespectful attitude, and conduct.

Fucking shock jocks are all they are.

It is unfortunate, because Milwaukee sports talk radio is down right pathetic, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel is down right pathetic. Thank god for this place.

Peter Brown is a slobbering, drooling, no-talent hack. So it's no surprise he ended up on WSSP.
The worst on-air "personalities" I've ever heard dwell at WSSP.

IMHO, WAUK 1510AM used to rock pretty hard when they had Bruce Marques and Chuck Friemund

1510 has never been a great station. The Game was par for the course at best. Steve "the Homer" Tru is about as entertaining as listening to paint dry. Bottom line, the sports talk radio in this town blows.

Somebody out there needs to give me a god damn radio show!!!

Nobody wants someone to tell them like it is though Nutz.

DD's accomplishments speak for themselves. He is the number one and he has been consistent. He may not be flashy and he may not be glitzy, but he's effective. A perfect match for the Pack.

You da man, DD!

That's a good summary. The point is that DD's numbers are solid across his four years as a starter. He was the number 1 receiver in 2002, 2003, and 2005. But the issue here is how a radio guy should treat a player. It's okay for Brown to ask DD a question about how good he thinks he is, let him answer it, and then move on. Brown can say AFTER DD is off the air how he compares the two receivers (DD and Walker or DD to other starters, etc.) but to repeatedly say that Walker is better while DD is on the line is a slap in the face. You just don't see good (or even marginal) interviewers doing this. It's bad form. Also, not really knowing DDs numbers and contributions to the offense over the years is a problem. This isn't an issue of us as fans being homers, but an even-handed evaluation of the 'talents' of a radio host. When you have a positive, up-beat, good-natured guy like DD coming on your show and you get him to say over and over at the end that he's never going to come back on your show, you've really fouled things up badly. Brown failed in his job - period, dot, bingo.

Agreed.

Seriously, you could do some podcasts for the site.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Minneapolis has a decent sports radio station.

Superstar in the morning is okay. He grows on you. Plus, NASCAR talk from Hawk (the only guy on the station who will talk NASCAR).

PA and Dubay are homers, but are knowledgeable and are entertaining. PA is from California. Roots for the Minnesota teams, but isn't afraid to profess his love for a guy like Brett Favre.

Common Man at noon is unlistenable.

Hartman (Sid's son) is average.

Barreiro is very solid.

On weekends, we get Dave (Packer fan) and Trent Tucker.

[Little Whiskey]

the only sports station i get to listen to is out of chicago. and all they do is bash the cubs and praise the sox. they usually come together during football season to bash the pack. i listen to tmj out of milwaukee on the ride to and from work. but then you get bill micheals with his 5 seconds of sports and 15 min. of commercials. and the worse thing is BILL MICHEALS!!

[Deputy Nutz]

You mean the Bill Micheals that reported that the Packers had traded for Reggie Bush, and all that needed to be done was sign the papers? He only lost a little ced with that super news break.

If I actually knew how to do a pod cast, it would be money!

If you are interested in making those podcasts.

[GBRulz]

Now there's an idea FC, podcasts for this site!!

I subscribe to quite a few podcasts actually. Namely the Packers, Photoshop TV and E!. I'm not sure how you go about getting Apple to carry them on itunes though.

Sorry though Nutz, there is no money in podcasting as they are free!!

[mraynrand]

Photoshop TV - LOL! Thanks for the tip GB mich - I didn't realize they were podcasted! I gotta download me one of those CS2 versions so I can go back and forth from powerpoint to photoshop with ease!

[FavreChild]

Well, we would just need the podcasts posted here. You can usually use iTunes as the application to open a podcast, though, can't you? I don't know anything about posting/delivery of podcasts; everyone knows I am not the resident tech expert.

However, to record the podcast, all you need is Skype (or any VoIP connection). Skype is still free, I think.

And you would want an audio headset with microphone that plugs into your phone or computer. Higher-end models produce better sound fidelity, of course, but a low-end headset will do just fine. We're not in the recording business, after all.
