Didn't know he was a friend of yours Sick.

Sorry this situation saddens you.

I think part of it (legitimately) is in these depressing and stressful times, his grating schtick wore thin...

I agree.

That and advertising levels have dropped considerably.

That means downsizing or pay cuts for staff and on air personalities.
This guy has an ego the size of Manhattan.
I could see him telling them to go stuff themselves if they even hinted of giving him a paycut.

Joke will be on him in this market though.
He's burned bridges in the industry before and I could see him taking peanuts to spew his rants in some small market in the sticks.

I always liked Sid in small doses. Good luck to him.

So long and good riddance.

It was disgraceful to have a Heat and Dolphin hater on a local station.

Ship his a$$ back to NYC.

funny guy, i always liked when he was on.

Sid Rosenberg was probably the worst thing on either of the two stations. There are erectile dysfunction and pyramid scheme ads I've liked more.

Sorry the guy lost his job. I only listened to him a few times when he first came down to S. Fla. Other than talking about the damned Giants and bragging about knowing somebody who had something to do with "Sopranos", I don't really remember anything about him.

Bring Back OJ McDuffie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sid is a good guy BTW....his love for all things New York was obnoxious though.

Get a good host and team him up with OJ.

No more interviews with meaningless people (to the sports world) like Ozzy Osbourne's wife... nice.

Personally, I prefer Sedano.

Sedano would be a good morning time drive person -- he is young, energetic, generally upbeat and Miami born and bred who sees the events through the same purview as the listeners.

It's about time! I turn on the radio, hear his voice and instantly turn to 560...

doesnt it get old hearing homers talk about how awesome the team is doing???

I am not looking for pablum, but Sid's (on-air) egomaniacal, NY-centric, legend in his own mind personality was not my cup of tea.

Nope.

I listen to sports talk radio to hear about the local teams, not the NY Football Giants or how much the Miami Heat suck...

When the team sucked the homers were killing the team.

The only thing good about Sid was he turned his life around. As a radio host he belongs back up in New York.

You guys should send him an invite to this site if you like him so much. He posts on another Dolphin message board

why did he get fired?

But Sick his "NYishness" just turned me off. That and his hate for all the South Fla teams. It never made sense to me, to have a personality that didn't just dislike, but actually LOATHED the local teams.

Sick I do feel for his family, because I know he just became a father recently, but he really should have been a little bit less-NY homer, and put his hate for South Fla teams behind him, to get his job done.

But it also gets old listening and meaningless to me (I turn the channel) when all we get from a Miami station is interviews with NY Giants or NY Jets players and coaches. I listened to him like about 3 or 4 times and it was only for a few minutes at a time, because that obnoxious accént drove me to turn the channel.

It's not just that, either. He probably half the time namedropping barely-famous celebrities he's met, or talking about that washed up old lady Don Imus.

Everyone has guilty pleasures, but Sid Rosenberg is awful and wouldn't be in the business if he hadn't rode Don Imus' nuts to "fame", if that's what you would call hosting your own show on a 3rd rate AM station and drawing barely existent ratings.

thats not fair....when i worked for the station he was the ONLY host to do his show live from marlin spring training games (before the marlins moved to 790 from QAM) and would book marlin players and personell....he would do live remote spots from marlins caravan tours......how do i know he booked marlins players and personell?!? i called and booked them for them while i was interning there :lol:

i understand the dislike for sid....he is a ny homer....and annoying ny accent....i just know hes a good guy.....and he did, maybe in small doses...tried to do live spots at marlins games....you never saw lebits, boog or anyone else do it as much.....so i give him a little credit...

but i agree the soprano guests got old and the crappy name drops....

eh hes gone now, good luck to him :up:
