Many of the microphone jockeys covering local sports are old enough to be our local pro players' grandfathers. By contrast, Nick Wright was just 22 in 2007 when he signed with 610 Sports, KC's perennial sports-talk underdog. In the spring, Wright was promoted from nighttime snooze talker to the host of his own show, What's Right With Nick Wright, at the prime drive-time hours of 9 to 11 a.m. Though he may still have some kinks to work out (some sports-talk fans chafe at his hip-hop slang and cocky attitude), he proved that he's got the goods when he scooped everyone this year (including ESPN) with inside contract details of the Chiefs' signing of defensive end Tyson Jackson. Wright is young enough to party at the same nightclubs, play the same Xbox games and rock the same fashions as our Chiefs and Royals ballers, which he does, and he lets his listeners know it. Wright says, "Even for people who never listen to 610, having young, hungry talent at the station makes sports radio better as a whole. It makes the guys at the other stations have to work harder." We agree. Now, if only there were a winning local sports team to cover.

I don't know anybody that can can stand the guy. Not sure who was responsible for deciding the winners of these categories, but it wasn't somebody that knows or appreciates sports and sports talk radio. He's a Jim Rome wanna-be, but dresses like an Ali G wanna-be. I can't stand anything about him and don't get how he could even be considered in the top 3. When you have to talk down about your competition as Nick does with 810 it's usually because you know your product doesn't measure up. Ever hear anybody from 810 mention 610? Don't have to. They're an also ran and nothing more. That's why they have to constantly shuffle their staff around. All the time it is "the NEW 610 radio!" It's what you have to do when the old 610 constantly sucks and is buried by the competition. Just save some face and have some self respect..........go back to country. It's the only thing that station has been successful at.

I listen to 610 at work and everytime this guy comes on I have to turn it off. He is even worse than listening to JIm Rome which I didn't think was possible. Rackem

It took me a week to understand this, but I'm hooked now brother!

I wish a reporter would ask Todd Haley two questions:
#1.Did your golf coach scream obscenities at the team when you or a golf teammate screwed up a shot?
#2. When are you going to try out at those 22 players off the street?

So everyone that listens to Nick Wright pretty much can't stand the guy. Somehow you give him an award, which is hilarious, but in fairness to those that can't stand the guy (pretty much everyone) shouldn't that have been reported too?
