ESPN Radio

As a female, I have got to be in the minority when it comes to ESPN Radio's audience.  BUT SERIOUSLY, STOP WITH ALL THE TESTOSTERONE COMMERCIALS!!
Forget Dr. Pepper 10, ESPN Radio is not for women!
 We, my husband and I, have been carpooling for the past school semester (3 months) and in the morning, for most of the 3 months we've been driving together, we were listening to AM 1350 because they had Dan Patrick on.  Suddenly, last week, the AM 1350 station switched to a country station, so no more Dan Patrick! Sad Face!
I love me some DP show!
We have XM radio in the Subaru but not in my Kia Rio.  We can still catch the Dan Patrick show on Fox Sports radio on XM, but when we drive my car, which is most of the time, we can't.  Even though my husband has XM on his smartphone, it doesn't have the Fox Sports radio station.  So instead we've been catching Colin Cowherd in the morning.  I have no gripe with his show.  He's got interesting things to say about sports of all types.  I'm okay with his stamps.com commercial that I've heard about 5 times in 2 days of listening... The one thing I can not STAND is all the testosterone supplements commercials.
I know, I'm not the target demographic, but damn it I get enough of this bull at home on the tv... What with all the "Low T", cialis and viagra commercials... I really don't need to hear it on the road either.
The best photo I could find of Cowherd.
"Men as you get older do you notice you have trouble getting up in the morning? How about getting it up at all?"  Yes ESPN Radio, as a woman I'm totally having trouble getting it up, seeing as how my "erectile tissue" is small and low in testosterone...
Honestly, I should just accept that they probably won't do anything about it... I'm just one female listener.. what do they care?  But really I'm just annoyed that it's on at 8am anyway... I mean they ban those type of commercials on tv; they are only on from 9pm to 4am, I think.  Most of the people listening are older males, but not all the people listening fit that bill.


PLUS Fox Radio, or at the very least Dan Patrick, actually advertises sports related things like Buffalo Wild Wings.  I've yet to hear a sports related ad on ESPN Radio...
The wings... Oh god, the wings...
