    They usually fire personalities immediately after a show so they can't hijack the show and say negative things or stuff that will get the radio station in trouble. So they would never tell a host they are getting fired and then let them on air

    I enjoy it too. True, it's hard to talk football in June and July so I think they need to expand their reach a little, but it will be fun to listen to them during football season

    classy post by adam. will miss them in the AM, but really like lance

    I miss the glory days of 610. john&lance in the mornings, mark&rich in the afternoons, and then matt&adam at night. that was the dream line up

    I really can't stand josh innes or matt thomas. neutral on charlie. only person I like on 610 now is mike meltser

    This sucks. They were the only radio hosts that actually liked talking about the Rockets and had extensive NBA knowledge. This blows. I guess I'll go back to rocking my MP3 and get my sports news exclusively from CF.net

    This probably makes me stop caring about local sports radio totally. I don't really care enough about football to follow it constantly beyond the important months(actual season, draft, FA signings). And the important part of following the Astros these days, which are the prospects, is something you'll never actually hear about.

    So it comes down to the Rockets, and really only Matt and Adam talk about them. They actually have inside info and pertinent opinions. Everyone else either don't know enough about the Rockets, or don't care. This definitely means less selection for my podcast list. :(

    Maybe this opens up a niche for Clutch or the Big Show Team. I could see a weekly (or even daily during the season) Rockets Report Podcast.

    I'd subscribe.

    kudos to matt and adam for handling this as classy as they have.

    they will both be gainfully employed much sooner because of it

    Why are people saying Adam Clanton won't talk Rockets? He was a member of this board before he had a job on the radio and on channel 2.

    Lance and Adam's new show is called "The Proper Gentlemen of Sports"

    Awful show name? Or the most awful show name of all time?

    i also find the implication that lance only cares about football funny, he was one of the first hosts to put clutch on the air

    Liking it so far.

    Just waiting on Jackson to take Innes' place and Wexler to get hired back onto 790 to cover the Rockets games.

    The prophecy must be fulfilled.
