Why have no strong candidates stepped forward to challenge Matthew Good or John Evans? Both those idiots deserve nothing less than being voted out of office! Yet, where are the challengers? Sue Weber would have been a strong challenger to Good, and she decided not to run.

This way you won't be innundated w/ spam and offers and such. I use a Bug Me Not ID for Go Erie and most other news sites.

Dennis - I think it's time you run. I'll make some posters up.

Hey Mike - honestly, I was considering running just for some token opposition. My office has never caught on fire, so far, and I've never voted myself a pay increase.
I was happy to hear that Pontoriero is running.

Anyone see the classic game between the Steelers and Colts? WOW! WHAT A GAME!!! That idiot Mike Borman of WFNN-AM "The Fan" must be kicking himself for saying the Steelers didn't have any chance of winning. That's why they still play the games! I was so glad the Steelers won. I don't think I could take much more of how the Colts were the better team and that the Steelers didn't even have a chance.
TAKE THAT IDIOT OF THE RADIO!!!!!!!!

Tim, I don't listen to Erie talk radio anymore, since it's such poor quality. But if you think Mike Bormann is terrible now, you should have listened to him a few years ago when Jim Lecorhick was still the host of the other sports talk show they had on.

Since Lecorchick was thought to be some "sports-guru" in Erie, Mike Bormann could never come up with his own opinions or views on local sports.
Instead, Mike would constantly kiss Jim's ass on the air by bending over backwards to agree with all of Jim Lecorchick's opinions on local sports issues. But it got even worse.

As you may remember (if you heard him), a good part of Jim Lecorchick's show was not really about sports at all. Instead, much of Jim's show was devoted to kissing the asses of a certain group of washed-up ex-star athletes in Erie, high school or college coaches, or athletic directors.

So before long, Mike Bormann was doing the exact same thing, and spending much of his show giving little "plugs" on the air to all Jim's friends!
One of my friends even used to call Mike "Lecorchick's Lapdog" after all of this happened, and I can't say I blamed him. I myself eventually thought it would have made much morse sense for that station to just put Mike and Jim on ONE program and call it "Chico and the Moron" since their shows were so similar. But eventually, I couldn't even listen anymore.

Someone let me know if we EVER get decent talk radio in Erie again! Of course, I'm not holding my breath, that's for sure.

There are atleast two very good talk radio stations in Erie right now.... One's called XM the other is called Sirius ;-)

I agree - there's a ton of great talk on XM - sports, politics (left and right), religious, news (I like the BBC world service) and even the trucker channel. I can't remember the last time I listened to (awful) local radio. There's just something cool about listening to Opie and Anthony non-stop from Erie to Cleveland.

Then there is that buffoon Jeff Johns, who was on the local news talk channel. Is that guy still on the air? Talk about a lack of professionalism! Every other word from that guy was always ahh, umm.., ah..., etc

And he claimed he's been in radio for over 20 years? He's horrible!

You should have heard bormann today. He was practically tripping all over himself saying that he never picked against the steelers just that he didn't think they had a chance. What a moron. What a f***ing moron!! I'm getting Sirius tomorrow!

Chico Bormann would have been fired a long time ago if that station gave a damn about the quality of its programing, Tim.

You're not the only one who thinks that station (and Bormann) sucks, and I'm really glad I don't waste my time and listen anymore.

I saw Jeff Johns the other day. Dude is sooo fat he looks like the character "Fat Bastard" from the Austin Powers movies. HAHAHAHAHAHA!

I've seen Johns before too. He was a real slob when I saw him. I wouldn't care what he looked like as long as he wasn't horrible on the radio.

I listened to the Mike Bormann chow today for the first time in ages after reading what you wrote. You're right, what a moron!

Hey Tim, can you tell that Bormann also tries to copy Jim Rome in the way he says things and certain words he uses?

Yes Matt, Bormann copies Rome numerous times on the radio. The only saving grace about having such a jack**s on the radio is that Bormann will NEVER, EVER be Jim Rome. Erie's loss is the country's gain! (HAHA!) By the way Matt, I was listening to Rome today...he's thinking about going to Sirius! Thank God! Just got my equipment today! REAL RADIO AT LAST!!!!

Good for you, Tim! I like talk radio, but not the shitty talk radio we have here in Erie. So maybe I'm not far behind you.

I love national talk radio but if I want to talk about my local teams there is only one station to listen to 1330 the fan.Don't hate, get on, man up and voice your opinion.

I think Jim LeCorchick is very good on local talk radio. He's clear and concise in all his statements and everything he say's is intelligent and well thought out. I think Erie talk radio losing Jim is somebody elses gain! I hope we hear him soon in the near future.
