Welcome to The Turf: Taking the best of local sports talk radio...and ignoring it! 

***ALERT*** BR's new book, "Sportstalk...The Personality Behind The Personalities" is now available. For details just visit www.sportstalkpersonalities.com. Thanks! 

 

Hosted by Bill Rogan and Coach Andy Cornell, with Casey Bloyer,  ARTIFICIAL TURF is an entertaining, lively and informative program featuring compelling interviews, listener phone calls, and, at times, complete nonsense. Unlike many typical sports talk shows, THE TURF is never boring! Justin Adams, Brett Davis, and Ed Henderson  round out the cast of characters on THE TURF.

   
"Excuses are like poems...they're for sissies and no one wants to hear 'em." Ron Stilanovich.
