I stopped listening to the most local sports talk radio when Mark Viviano left his show on 105.7 The Fan. I used to tune in every morning and get what I considered to be the most fair analysis of Baltimore Sports, but sadly those days are gone.
When I would chat with sports fans about Viviano’s show many tell me that his co-host, Damon Yaffe, drove them away. Personally, I always found the duo to be an odd fit together. You had the mild-mannered, well spoken out-of-town perspective from Viv blended with the filterless, controversial commentary from “The Bulldog.”
Now Yaffe has found a new home on 1570 AM WNST. The local sports talker announced that he will be hosting a two-hour daily show with Paul Mittermeier and Greg March weekdays from 10 AM-12 PM.
“Yaffe’s crew will focus on all Baltimore sports with fun conversation, guests and lots of banter about the state of the local sporting universe including the Orioles, Ravens, Terps and local lacrosse,” WNST posted on their website.
NST has seen quite a bit of turnover in years past. They cut ties with Bob Haynie last year who signed on with 105.7 joining former AM alums Jeremy Conn and Rob Long.
Now I know when not to listen to WNST. Best thing that happened to 105.7 was not keeping him on.
I just couldn’t take his constant “I GET it” verbal tic. And his thinking that coaching high school football somehow made him an expert on breaking down NFL games.
Jay…I get it.
I don’t believe that out and out fans should report on their favorite teams. Damon Yaffe sports a Ravens’s shield tattoo…how can I expect objectivity?
The little fella at NST kisses Steve Biscotti’s posterior at every opportunity and sports his Ravens jersey, how can he be objective?
All are probably fans or were fans at some point, but they are supposed to be objective.
By little fella, do you means Nasty Nestor Aparicio? If you do, I take offense, by definition, little, is 4’6″ and under. I believe Nestor is at least 4’9″ disqualifying him as a little fella. We could call him Shorty Aparico but somebody already has Shorty…
Nails,
Yes, I do mean the frosted tipped, little Napolean, Nasty Nestor.
He does exemplify what Napolean syndrome is.
Spy didn’t think I could spell Napolean. Thanks for the help with spelling BSR.
I heard he was HFM!
Yaffe is the greatest thing in his own mind… A blowhard…
I would rather have somebody squelch a bullhorn in my ear for hours than listen to that clown.
I’d rather wear a suit of armor in an electrical storm then listen to his incoherent shit.
He’ll have half his listeners on the Colombian Bam-Bam before his third show…
lolz … he is a pompous a$$ isn’t he. I just love how he knows so much about so many things….
When I worked for the Baltimore Blackbirds/Mariners Indoor Arena Football Team he tried to coach with them. He didn’t last a whole year. Act got old fast.
D. Yaffe and the D stands for Dick…cause he is the biggest back on sports radio in Balmer.
I knew the baltimore airwaves were pretty decent the past year or so , now I know why,,,,,,,,Damon was gone,,,,,,,it would be better to just have dead silence than listen to him…………
Very well written article. I agree with you and I had sold off 75% of my equity unit trusts for the past 2 weeks.
The only credentials that “the Bulldog” brought to any discussion was that he had the loudest mouth in the local sports bars.
