The Top 10 Reasons You Need To Change Your Morning Sports Radio Routine

by John Kincade

You have that favorite restaurant with the entree you can’t get enough of.

You own a pair of jeans you definitely could get rid of but they feel better than wearing your sweats.

You’ve got a local bar where you know all the staff and they always clean their taps. The company and the laughs are top notch.

We all fall into routines and have had businesses that EARNED our loyalty. I understand and embrace those same behaviors. It’s hard to make a change when you felt you were valued and got a solid return on your time investment. Then a window of opportunity presents itself. It’s an open playing field. You’re looking to replace that special security blanket in your life that kept you engaged for so long. That time is now. It’s time to wander, sample and realize the options available. It’s also a perfect time for you to start a relationship all over again.

Mornings in Philadelphia Radio have had a seismic event. The most dominant talent in the sports radio format has decided to ride off to many a Sea Isle sunsets. I want to make you an offer. I want to present an opportunity and ask for your business. I don’t want you to just stop in from time to time, we’ve got a seat with your name on it.

Here are The Top 10 Reasons You Need A New Sports Radio Morning Routine

1. This is being forced on you. It’s open season for ears that haven’t chosen to seek out much new content in three decades. You need a plan, you must check out your options.

2. You’re not your Dad. You don’t prefer the same old way of doing things that he does. You like to have someone impress you, keep things fresh, try different things and work to keep you happy.

3. You like podcasts more than traditional radio. You want to be able to check in and check out knowing that every segment will be engaging and valuable. It won’t be the same old segments at the same old times delivered in the same old way.

4. You prefer to laugh. You don’t want the typical firing squad approach of old school Philly sports radio. You aren’t checking in for stand up but want the conversations to engage and entertain.

5. You’ve heard the same ten callers on the same shows calling in to the same hosts multiple times in the same week. It’s not 2003. Evolve, please. Again, you don’t need to think you are car pooling with your Dad and he’s controlling the radio.

6. You don’t want the tired old, Deliver a rant, put up a poll question, throw out the phone number and do the same old format show after show.

7. You want energy and passion, without the hot takes. Inflammatory radio for the sake of generating callers as content would get you a failing grade in broadcasting schools. You want to be woken up and listen in a friendly environment.

8. You watch YouTube. You like being able to watch a broadcast as much as you like listening to one. You may want to consume the content in off hours. You like flexibility. You can watch and listen to a morning show in the afternoon, because it’s content you desire.

9. You want to listen to a show where the hosts seek out opportunities to engage with you. I’m not talking about shaking hands with you at a remote broadcast where the hosts have to be there. Every hear of radio show hosts scheduling meet and greet happy hours and coming to your neighborhood in the evening to seek you out? Yeah, I hadn’t either. How about being invited in to the studio to watch a broadcast, get fed and win prizes? I know, pretty unique. We’ve got you covered.

10. You have been unsatisfied for a while, but didn’t want to feel like you were cheating. Old habits are hard to break. New habits though are easy to form.

The John Kincade Show wants to meet you and desires your business.

Unfortunately the Eagles are in the offseason. While its tough to move on, we have to. We need to focus on the offseason because the Eagles got a late start. The good news is the Eagles have Howard "Howie" Roseman running the show. When it comes to contracts and free agents Howie always has the ability to find some cap space.

So lets take a look at the impending Eagles free agents and play some stay or go.

Lets get the easy ones out of the way. If Jason Kelce wants to play football then he will be back for the Philadelphia Eagles.

STAY

Brandon Graham is like defensive Jason Kelce. If B.G. wants to play then its tough to imagine he isnt in Green. He is a Philadelphia Eagles legend AND (much like Kelce) still playing at a high level. I doubt he wants to go anywhere else.

STAY

Like the two above, Fletcher is a Philadelphia sports legend. But unlike them, I dont see Cox taking a hometown discount to stay. I dont get the feeling that Fletcher Cox is as attached to the city as Kelce and Graham. Thats not a sleight by the way, most athletes arent as attached to the city like the above two. According to Spotrac his value is 2 years at $28 milion. Thats probably too rich for the Eagles.

GO

The trade deadline acquisition was an absolute DUD. He did very little in his short stint with the Eagles after an 18 sack season in 2021. The Eagles will receive a compensatory pick if he signs elsewhere, and I think thats way more valuable for the Eagles then whatever Quinn could give you.

GO

The Eagles got a bargain with Bradberry when they signed him late to play opposite Darius Slay. As a #2 CB, hes one of the best in the league. He's already signed a big contract in the past to be a #1, and it came with mixed results. Would he look at move on? Sure seems that way. After the season Bradberry discussed free agency as a guy that knows hes not coming back. With the Eagles holding the 10th overall pick, and a top corner likely available, it seems like this one is a forgone conclusion.

GONE

Javon Hargrave was one of the better signings under the Howie Roseman regime. He had a career year, in a contract year. Not GREAT for a team that will have to sign their QB to a hefty extension. I think the Eagles would like to keep Hargrave, but will they want to allocate those funds to Hargrave? Spotrac has his perceived value at $20 million per season. Thats a LOT. I think the Eagles move on

GONE

Seumalo has been fine. Hes been the weakest link on the best offensive line in football, so theres something to be said about that (in a positive way.) Seumalo's mistakes were heightend because he was playing around Hall of Famers. But the Eagles drafted Cam Jurgens in the 2nd round to eventually take over for Kelce. Jurgens can also play guard though. So ideally I think the Eagles want Kelce back and Jurgens playing next to him. Spotrac has his value at $12 million per season. Let someone else make that mistake.

GONE

Miles Sanders is just 25 years old and coming off a career year with 1,269 yards. His value is $7 million per season which is a lot for a running back. BUT this running back free agent class is STACKED. Sequon Barkley, Kareem Hunt, Miles Sander, Jamaal Williams, Josh Jacobs, just to name a few. I dont think there are too many teams wanting to pay for a running back and I think theres a good chance that some of these really good backs are left without a chair when the music ends. Because of that, I think you could bring back Miles Sanders for less than $7 million

STAY

Kyzir White was the most recent yearly tradition of the Eagles brining in a free agent LB and us convincing ourselves that hes WAYYY better than anyone thought. Only for us to realize there was a reason he was a free agent. Kyzir White was fine. But the Eagles did draft Nakobe Dean in round 3 and I think the Eagles would like to see what he can do.

GO

TJ Edwards has been REALLY good for the Eagles, and quite a find for the Birds. BUT the Eagles have a history of scraping the bottom of the barrell, finding a LB, they look pretty good and then the Eagles let them walk when the contract is up. They did it a few years ago with Kamu Grugier-Hill. While I think they SHOULD bring back, I do not think they will. I think they'll scrape the bottom of the barrell again.

GO

Yep. The Eagles will make this one a priority and its tough to imagine him signing with another team.

STAY

Backup QB? You can find one of those pretty easily. Gardner also has stated that he wants a shot at being a starter in this league. That isnt happening in Philly. I think the Eagles would like to bring Minshew back at the right price, I think he leaves for an opportunity in a city like Houston, or Indy.
