I actually enjoyed the 'Banter' on 1280 the zone.
When you DO start to listen, you notice that the sports stories and the things they talk about start repeating every 30 minutes. So they fill the other time with typical talk radio filler.
If you want ACTUAL sports news you'll get more accurate stuff off Twitter or the Athletic.
However, Nothing will be better (never, ever)... than listening to 'The Coaches Show' and hearing LeVell and Coach Mac talk about 'nothing' for hours on the radio.
