The only thing that really changes is the names. Doesn't matter what sport or what team it's all the same.
If you have a good moderating staff they'll try to keep it so people are respectful to each other and the team. If not the place turns into Scout and everyone leaves except for the few who drove everyone else away. It's a simple formula that isn't quite so simple to execute. It's pretty easy to over or under enforce to the detriment of the group. Many places end up under enforcing either out of an overly idealistic sense of freedom of speech or they tire of the battle and give up. Getting it right is a never ending and mostly unappreciated task.
That is fine, some people like that. I expect more from a guy with a sports show than I do from someone at a bar. If I want that I know several bars nearby that can easily fill that niche. Plus, I can spout off back at them. All I can do while listening to DD is call him a %^&^&%$#$# idiot but he can't hear me. No, I'm not going to call in...
He was bearable tonight. Some nights he starts going off in what seems to me to be an overcompensation mode. I understand he is a broadcaster now and shouldn't show extreme IU favoritism. It's like he takes that to the other extreme some nights. Tonight was one of his better nights. Now if he could just change his voice. Something about it, kind of like fingernails on a chalkboard for me.
