bccran, I am not defending Miklasz, but simply reporting facts which conflict with your strong opinion. According to the sports ratings, his radio show is #3-ranked in the St. Louis market and first in the morning drive slot. I don’t listen regularly, but the numbers indicate that many do. Obviously not those you hang out with, though.

I’ve seen surveys calling him the most influential sports voice in St. Louis, but that is far more subjective than the ratings. The hottest new national media entity is The Athletic, and they hired him to write a weekly column.
Again, I often do not agree with him, but that is not the point.
