Carl Dukes is a current CBS Sports Radio Host who I stumbled across on an early Sunday morning and couldn't get enough of. His input on sports issues and events are takes a fan can relate to. His national weekend radio show is one worth tuning into either on your local CBS radio station or online (Audacity)
Da Dukes touched on so much during this morning's show:
-The Chris Paul/Gordon Poole Trade
-Sports Systems vs Great Coaching
-The Titan Sub Disaster
-Dak Prescott QB Rating
Da Dukes, and that's my own nicknaming, has a very insightful and balanced breakdown of whatever topic he takes up. His radio presentation is both professional and entertaining. When he touched on former Redskins head coach Joe Gibbs and his transition from great NFL coach to great Nascar racing organization, I perked up in agreement.
Da Dukes take on the Chris Paul/Jordan Poole trade hit home for me. As a Warriors fan, I said immediately after the Draymond Punch what Da Dukes was saying on his radio show: "Somebody's got to go, and it ain't gone be Draymond." We fans knew things couldn't be alright with the team after that punch, but we glazed over it with hopes for another championship. Now we're looking at a shift in the Warriors personnel, one that could result in a positive transition to their system of play.
Da Dukes also laid down an interesting take on New York Mets baseball organization and their majority owner Steve Cohen. He says Cohen has no clue about how to make the expensive players he's doled out millions too, play as a cohesive, winning unit. He breaks it all down and his analysis sounds very spot on. And for the record, I'm a fan of "Sanford and Son" with Redd Foxx saying, "Ya Big Dummy!"
Bottom line, I feel I've discovered a newly entertaining sports radio host who can be trusted to deliver takes based on solid sports analysis, or just plain life experiences and common sense. Carl Dukes speaks my sports language and shares sports and life lessons not easily found on other radio shows. Keep it going Dukes. . . Duke'em Up!
“He does a good job listening to the audience, being out and about and listening to the fans,” Conti said. “He gets what people in this market are passionate about. He’ll tell fans what they need to hear, even if it’s not what they want to hear. It’s like a sixth sense. I don’t know how he does it.”
