LaVar you are a joke…..you used to be my favorite player until you became a whiny little punk just like portis is, so neither of you have room to talk. You had the audacity to turn down autographs to me and my best friend (we were 14 at the time and i was even wearing your jersey) after a giants game in the skybox next to your family’s box There was no one else around and you couldnt even give 2 seconds back to your fans. You were not a leader, and you were not a true redskin when things started not going your way. How people forgot how you became and how you got a radio show in D.C is beyond me.

This is nothing personal against Lavar, but he has no business having his own radio show. He’s a lousy public speaker. Many people are lousy public speakers and that’s ok but they also don’t have a radio show. I totally agree with Sho220 that Lavar “constantly struggels to string together a coherent sentence or though”, and the tone of his voice is not very radio-friendly. I was trying to listen today to Lavar’s reply to Clinton Porter’s comments about Lavar, but it was probably the most painful half hour of radio to try and sit through. Lavar was rambling mostly incoherently about the same thing over and over again without getting to the point at all. I can only imagine what his producer and Chad Duke must be thinking while this segment was going on. It was a disaster.

This is one of the worst radion shows I’ve ever had the misfortune of hearing. Chad Dukes is…well Chad Dukes. He’s pretty funny, is charismatic in a juvenile way and keeps your attention. unfortunately Lavar sucks the energy out of the show. He constantly struggles to string together a coherent sentence or thought. it’s just painful. All the stuttering and stammering…it’s just dreadful…it almost forces you to change the station. For so many years I’ve been able to count on 106.7 for my morning commute, but it seems those days are over. Oh well…at least they left the Junkies on in the am.

I recant everything good I said about the new show. Granted my review was only after one week of listening so I give myself a reprieve but the Arrington show sucks. Chad Dukes is still good but he’s not in his element on the show thus he’s horrible on there too. It’s all Redskins bashing all the time.

Jules, you write as if you’re speaking directly to Lavar or Chad. Rest assured they’re not reading this but I read it and I appreciate your comment. Come again soon.

I have been a long time listener of 106.7. I was very sad to see the old lineup go away, but with change – comes fear. Knowing this, I kept the preset and have listened to your show since its inception. Need to be honest here – your show sucks. The butchery of the english language from Lavar and the sophomoric rants of Chad Dukes will ultimately decide their future. Ex-Jock and fat boy Dukes,,, best of luck!

i agree that the ‘chad dukes is god’ statement is way overboard but at the same time there’s no reason to resort to name calling….jackass

i think that chad dukes is very talented and funny but i’ve tried listening to the show and he just sounds stifled. if one of the callers to BO&D had said some of the stuff that comes out of LaVar’s mouth they would’ve been ripped a new one but now he can’t be doing that to the guy who’s name is on the show.

i think the station flip was a terrible idea. that station was one-of-a-kind and i listened to at least 10 hours a day. sports radio is like political and religious radio in that everyone has an opinion, no one considers anyone else’s opinion, and most of the so-called ‘experts’ are wrong more than they are right.

such a shame…

Chad Dukes is God? You people are retarded. The dude hasn’t been in radio all that long. He has no proven track record. Frankly my faith in Washington talk radio, sports especially is going straight down the tubes. You see veterans with respectability getting their TV shows and radio shows cancelled and idiots like this moron getting a shot in prime time. Gimme a break! I hope Snyder buys JFK and cans the whole lot! Serves CBS right for screwing with the format in the first place.

I gotta respectfully disagree. The new show is just not all that good. Lavar has a better voice and demeanor for radio than I expected. He seems to be trying hard and trying move beyond just being another bombasitc ex-jock. But there chemistry and flow stinks so far. Lavar does not have much of an authoritative voice on anything but the Redskins, and that alone is going to carry the show. Chad Dukes just sounds bored with the whole thing. They both seem to be trying hard to make it work, but I don’t see this show being much more that Redskins 24/7. That sells Chad’s skills way short. My guess is CBS will fire Chad the moment they think Lavar can handle it on his own. Its all really too bad, WJFK had something special with BO&D and TMOS, now its just another cookie cutter sports in a largely disinterested, 1 sport town.

I’d say Gilbert is the most recognizable athlete in DC even with his two and a half year hiatus. Next is probably cooley. Then comes Ove. Hockey is still 2nd tier and probably always will be…

I’m still not sold on Lavar. I heard the segment on Campbell and I think that coupled with the two or three appearances he did to promote the show is evidence that Lavar still has a lot of bitterness towards the skins. I think that is a recipe for disaster for the show once football season rolls around. This is still the Redskins town and Lavar is self-admitted Steeler fan. Ask B Mitch how criticizing the Redskins and Joe Gibbs affects your broadcasting career in this area. I do like that Dukes is in a new time slot because now I can I can actually listen to all the commentary you all rave about.

Still a little bitter about Big O and Dukes, but from the little bit I heard from Lavar and Chad today the show sounded pretty good. As with all sports talk though, sometimes I wonder if they’ll have enough to talk about on a daily basis. It’s hard to listen to all of the speculation about this season when it’s the same things being said every day, on every medium, and we’re still a month and a half away from some real, meaningful football. I guess we’ll see.
