“I’ve been listening to Washington DC sports radio (and the last few years by podcasts) for over 40 years. I therefore think I can be a fairly good judge of the quality of reporting and running of outstanding sports programs on the air.
Al Galdi is the most knowledgeable of all of the current sports show hosts. From the WFT to the Nationals to the Caps and to the Wizards…Al reports on them all in GREAT detail.
So many current sports programs have hosts seem to be going through the motions, putting little effort by reporting and discussing DC sports in broad, vague terms: they are simply drawing a paycheck.
Al Galdi researches and does his homework: no other DC sports host can discuss in detail, for example, the pro football analysis of every WFT offensive lineman (like Al does), or statistical trend analyses of the Nationals’ relief pitching (like Al does), or the statistical effectiveness of the Caps’ power plays on the 3rd period (like Al does)!
Like a long ago commercial for a brokerage firm I used to see on TV, I can paraphrase the firm’s slogan to sum up Al Galdi’s talent:
“All Galdi reports on DC sports the old fashion way: he earns it!””
