He often admits what he doesn’t know and has discussions. I don’t see elitism, thinking the audience is stupid or hayseeds. He often talks about his failings and limitations.

Frankly, many shows don’t take calls now unless it’s something like 10 in a row. I will agree the quality of sports radio and all media has dropped.

Isn’t he divorced?

You take his profession much too serious. Just don’t read him or listen to him. Apparently listening to him is causing you great distress. It’s not healthy.

I agree. Calkins is thoughtful, intelligent, and caring. Anyone who has an issue with him needs to look in the mirror

The man is highly political and arrogant about his politics and views and very condescending to half the population that dares disagree with him.

Whether you want to admit that or not it is a plain fact.

People who take issue with him and his condescending words and views are fully justified.

When I read the politically charged, opinionated posts on this board it is full of people who are highly political, arrogant about their politics and range from condescending to angry, abusive, attack mongers who insert polarizing comments in threads constantly and at vastly inappropriate times. This thread is an example of that.

Instead of reading his article about his mother as an expression of love and loss, a beautifully written piece in my opinion, a few people chose to take the opportunity to attack the son and author and turn into the something ugly.

I foolish attempted to share something I thought should be something we can all identify with whether we liked or agreed with anything else he might be or say. Anonymous people hiding behind made up names feel entitled to lose their civil restraints. Plain facts? No, I think just plain opinions.

My Name is George Burns, and I live in Somerville TN. Easy enough to find if you really want to. And I don't mean to be indelicate, but WE ON THE RIGHT of center are fed up with the left's condescension, bullying, and canceling. I will no longer be polite. I will not be silent. A guy like this interjects his politics into something that is supposed to bring us in the midsouth (radio region) TOGETHER.... namely, sports talk radio, and I'M SUPPOSE TO BE HUMBLE AND POLITE???? HELL NO.
