OT-WJFK is now the FAN lol
6-10 Junkies
10-2 Mike Wise and George Mason Basketball Comentator(cant remember his name)
2-6 Lavar Arrington and Chad Dukes
what do you guys think? Is this going to work. Junkies are saying nothing will really change for them. I dont think Lavar is going to be any good. Chris Webber would be much better

Re: OT-WJFK is now the FAN lol
I like the move. I get tired of listening to 980. I like how this won't be filtered by DS and Red Zebra.
I happen to only like the Junx when they talk about sports.
But who am I kidding, the Howard Stern Show triumphs over all.

Re: OT-WJFK is now the FAN lol
Hmmm I'm lost. What is happening to the Mike (of Don and Mike) Show?
PS... Everyone know the story about how the Don and Mike show messed with Abe over the name Wizards back in the day? I've told it before. Abe held a contest to pick the new name of the Bullets. The possible names, all just God awful, were listed in the Post for people to vote on. The conspiracy theory on this board is that the names were purposefully bad to get people to pick the Wizards (so as to have a logo that matched MCI's color/design). Anyway, the worst name on the list was Sea Dogs (What?), and Don and Mike got everyone to call in and vote for it. It won. So, the Wiz should now be called the Sea Dogs. But, Abe cried foul, dropped the contest, and picked Wizards.
PPS... I could never figure out which one was "Big" Owen Dukes. And what is happening with that show?

Re: OT-WJFK is now the FAN lol
I gotta say - The Junkies have run their course. I loved their show back when they started as the Sports Junkies - it was a great idea, but now... I don't get why anyone would listen to them. They're just not interesting personalities, and none of them seems to be talented, smart or insightful at all. Mike Wise sounded very good on WTEM, but can he carry a show? Lavar is nowhere near the local icon he seems to think he is. I doubt he gets much of an audience. They need Mike O'Meara (sp?). Btw, whatever happened to Don Geronimo?

Don's wife died in a car crash and eventually he retired. But, seriously anyone know what is happening to Big "O" and Dukes (which I always think/joke sounds like "Big" Owen Dukes) and/or Mike? I grew-up on Don & Mike. It'd suck to not have them around in some form.

Re: OT-WJFK is now the FAN lol
Don retired this past year, a year or two after his wife (Freida, who was a character/personality on the show herself) was killed in a car crash. Their real last name is Source. You can google it to read the very sad news accounts.
Agreed on Lavar. I don't think he's all the popular. They might not have axes to grind or much to say, but fans would be much more moved if DGreen or Art Monk had their own shows. Maybe they think Lavar can be a decent loudmouth sports commenter a la Dibble/Salisbury/Golic, etc. I'm not listening either way, so I don't much care.
I have never heard barely's story on the team name contest being rigged. But MCI's colors didnt match the Wiz/Caps either... I'd be happy if they kept the Wiz name but returned to the RWB color scheme.

Someone here pointed it out. I forget who. They demonstrated the whole theory and showed the logos. The design and colors were damn close.

Re: OT-WJFK is now the FAN lol
What no more Drab and Oscar. Those guys grew on me. The Junkies shouldn't change to much except they probably wont have as many celeb interviews. I won't miss them talking about politics. I had no intrest in Mike's show so now this Dukes, Arington and huge ego's show might at least be something worth checking out.

Re: OT-WJFK is now the FAN lol
I am really bummed about Big O and Dukes. I think that was the funniest and most original show on the air. I like that Chad and Drab will be staying on for this new show but I don't like Lavar at all.
Hopefully the junkies go back to being a sports show and win me back.

Re: OT-WJFK is now the FAN lol
I was a big fan of WJFK for many years. The Don and Mike show in particular was a favorite. I still dug The Mike O'Meara Show and thought Big O and Dukes were great up and comers. I am real bummed to see WJFK go to sportstalk and don't think it will be all that successful either. The only upshot for me personally is that the WJFK signal goes well into Fauquier Co VA where I live, so as I listen to the 1st quarter of Wizards games on my commute home for work, I won't lose the signal for the last 20 minutes of ride, like I do when the games are on 980.

So, Big O and Dukes ended their show with the line, "And the winner of the Big O and Dukes contest is..."
Reminded me of when Don told the story about how he once quit a radio station. He put on the Eagle's single "I'm Already Gone" and left. And he listened to the radio as he drove out of town. He heard the record run out and there was dead air (with only the sound of a needle skipping across static) for a half-hour before the program director got there and switched the album. Probably my favorite yarn about quitting a job.
