He takes a lot of vacation because....wait. Wrong show. JJ has never been off this long in my memory. I'm ok with BKR but JJ is the man. It would suck if he's gone for good.

Ugggghhhhhh.......Still no J.J.  >:(, I did read that he filed for divorce.  I wonder if that has anything to do with his long leave of absence?

I guess I didn’t realize that the second announcement of Jay’s divorce came on December 14th last year.  That stinks.

As a fan of Jay’s, I get concerned with his well being.  I listened to Jay’s guest appearance on Kevin Pollak’s “Chat Show,” and Jay sounded way more tangential than usual, and openly complained of not having any sleep.  That interview is dated December 6th.

Another thing that I noticed was that Ben Maller (also on Fox Sports Radio) posted recently; “Excited to pass on the news of my new contract with Premiere Networks to continue the Ben Maller Show on Fox Sports Radio.”  This was on Facebook, and the posting ended; “Looking forward to making the show even better in 2017 and beyond!”  Maller’s post was dated Wednesday, January 11th.

I don’t know if everyone’s contract was up for renewal of late or not.  But it does make me wonder of Jay’s return to radio.  The last time I remember an extended vacation was when Fox didn’t renew shows like “Petrose And Money” (nationally) and “Fox Sports Tonight with Rob Dibble and Amy Van Dyken.”  Wikipedia even states that “Into The Night with Tony Bruno” ended in 2011 because “his contract was not renewed.”

During Jay’s time off, I’ve noticed that the BKR crew has not said “Jay will return on…”  Hopefully, I’m over thinking it and Jay will return.

What a f*cking JOKE!!!!!!!! I cant stand listening to Beyer and Knox laugh at each others joke!  Jays show used to be golden, and once they gave his time slot to Rich Eisen the wheels starting falling off the bus.  What ever happened to the phrase "If it's not broken don't fix it"?  f*ck FOX Sports Radio, what a joke!!!!!
Title: Re: will Jay ever come back???
Post by: randomopoly on January 21, 2017, 02:01:39 am
If this is true, I'm glad that Rich Eisen is gone.  That guy is cancer.  But, FSR would have only put him there because they felt Jay wasn't pulling enough people away from Rome's show on CBS.  The real shame is, all the comedic "bits" that Jay's show offered, many of them slowly disappearing over the last year or so.  I like Jonas Knox, but something changed when he joined up.  Much of the "funny" went away, to be replaced by comedic cynicism.   And, that's okay, but it's not like it was.  And then, with Jonas' sudden removal in August, it left many questions to be answered.  Aaron seems like a great guy, but he was kinda a "non entity" co-host.

The show started declining after moving timeslots and more so after Rapid Fire was killed, but this still sucks. And I assume the bridges are burned and he's not going to come back to Rome's show as a guest host or Smackoff participant.

If this is true, which it seems to be....it is shitty. And while I know Jay is probably going through a really tough time, I would have liked some type of announcement from him...maybe contractually he can't do that, but leaving us hanging and the continuing "BKR in for Jay" isn't cool. Especially for a guy that was as fan-friendly as JJ.
Title: Re: will Jay ever come back???
Post by: bjax420 on January 25, 2017, 07:53:57 am
BKR sucks!!!!!!! How does FOX put these guys on everyday and expect people to listen.  My guess is rating for the show have falling off big time!

Get Jonas off the air, Dans is a professional no idea how Jonas got this gig,  what an idiot, time to  find a different show if Jay is not back

Dan can hold his own. Ramos is fine. Jonas is insufferable. He's the guy that was cool in high school and is desperate to maintain that...like yesterday and him making fun of how he doesn't like golf. He comes off as arrogant and condescending to me. Dan would be fine with a different co-host...he had been around since Day 1 (or close).

But I still want JJ to say SOMETHING.....for all the "we ride together" stuff he owes us that. I get that he's going through a rough time...I do get that. But we've been supporting him through this, well as lot of us on Twitter have been. Just a simple quick announcement would be ok.

 :-\  Well..........this stinks.  I got addicted to this show, even after they pulled it off my local station.  I guess I always knew that it would get to be too much for his schedule.  He's not fat and gray yet, and he can still pull down movie and TV roles, as well as stand up comedy.  In fact, having the radio show probably was the reason his comedy touring didn't cover a wider area of the country.  Plus, it's evident his family life was getting a bit fragile over the last few months, it's better that he gets a handle on that now.  I'll truly miss the elements of the show, and the sound drops, OMG!!  There were so many, and it makes me sad that I won't be able to hear those again, at least now with JMS to surround them.  I do wish good luck to Dan, John and Jonas getting the gig, but I doubt that's going to happen.  Amidst conflicting emotions, I do wish them all the best on Fox.  So, I guess I'll grab my sister's ass and snuggle off to bed now with my cat Mr. Bonkers.

Noticed Friday the Jay Mohr Sports imaging is gone...they're not saying "sitting in for Jay"....knew it was coming but still a bummer

Have they announced Jays replacement yet?  Even though I'm done listening for good!

guess I'm stuck listening to a podcast every month or so when I get bored and there's no sports on TV at night.


listening to Jay on my phone at home was fun but podcast interviews just aren't the same as live sports talk.

I'll never listen again. Jays positivity inclusiveness and humor made for such a unique sports talk experience. Dan is great, but Knox is a dime a dozen shouty hack. I hope this is what Jay wants, because if it's a FOX decision, it's a bad one.

Jay's one of a kind.  He made ME follow sports.  I'd like to see Dan and Jonas stick together somewhere on FSR, maybe overnights.  Move Steve Gorman, JT and Ben Maller up a shift and put Dan and Jonas on overnights to see how it goes.

I think a lot of stuff, originally, has to be Fox's doing, especially the shift change in 2014.  On  national level, I don't know how the show rated, but I didn't care.  Anyway, Jay's got stuff in his life to straighten up, that's the most important thing.  In time, he'll come up with something great again....if he's allowed.

He should do a once-a-month JMS podcast from his garage with Dan, Ramos and Toohey.  A straight half hour "Rapid Fire."

Jonas Knox and Dan Beyer are still just filling in right?  I mean they cant be going forward with these two on the air for three hours a day! Jonas is unbearable to listen to.  They ratings have to be shit for this time slot now!  Good I miss JJ.........HEY MAN!!!!!!!
Title: Re: will Jay ever come back???
Post by: cmgww on March 06, 2017, 10:01:12 pm
Beyer, I would keep in some capacity. Knox needs to go....like now. He is the f*cking "cool kid from high school" that still thinks his shit doesn't stink. Nice beard, btw....you f*cking loser. He's grating, annoying, and unlistenable. Beyer is doing his best, along with Ramos..........Get an actual good lead in there and it MIGHT survive.

I like them both.  Dan's mild mannered "Mr. Milktoast" persona contrasts Knox's "hungover guy, two years out of college" attitude.  I think that Fox Sports Radio, like NBC Sports Radio, lets the time slot just go "as is," because they both know that Rome is winning that radio day-part anyway.  Chances are, Beyer and Knox stays for a while longer.
