    Not sure how many of you remember Neil GOD.. He was an icon in South Florida.. One of the funniest men ever on the radio...

    I'll never forget when he mocked Sports Talk Radio with the Jimmy / Danny parody. It was a repetitive statement of Jimmy and Danny, Danny and Jimmy, Jimmy and Danny mocking the supposed Marino - JJ feud.. Beyond that, Rodgers called it like he saw it....

    His show sucked. I remember it, he would ***** and moan to his callers and read stupid emails for hours. His producer with all the funny songs was the saving grace of that pile of crap show.

    Meh, maybe I'm just too young to remember when it might have been good.

    Either way, RIP (eventually)

    His show was good in the early 90's. he then ceased to be a Dolphins fan and became very bitter and mean spirited to everybody. he was a terrible person to deal with on a business level as well.

    OH and BTW...he would launch into celebrations on his show when people that he did not like died....

    He got threatened with suspension once because of it and he then in turn threatened a lawsuit to attempt to take his entire contract salary from the company that just signed him.

    I knew a shutter business that tried to advertise on his show and he refused to do it (even though they were a paying customer) unless they shuttered his house and a friend's house as well.


    again..this was not a very good person.
