Monson is not that great, but there are far worse out there. I really like Checketts though. The local sports personality that I dislike the most by far is Tony Parks. It is not even close.

I also don't especially like Tony Parks. He's impressive with his impressions, but other than that doesn't usually have much interesting to say.
 
I like Monson. I think he is one of the better local sports radio personalities we have in this market

My favorites are

Kyle Gunther. His ramblings are pretty funny.
Hans Olson. Sometimes a little dumb. But a good dude.
Monson
That sorta new guy...I think his name is Montey or he works with Montey. Not sure. Anyways he's been pretty good so far.

The rest kinda suck. Not funny or smart. PK and Locke especially. Hearing them talk is like nails down a chalkboard.

I like him on the radio more than I expected. I never really liked his columns, so was disappointed that they paired him up with Spence Checketts. But I like the Big Show with those two, especially the "Gordon's List" weekly thing.

I'm exactly the opposite. I liked his columns and writing style at first, but then he got his radio gig and I found him to be such an arrogant snob, and also somewhat unknowledgable (even though that isn't a word). I hate the way he tries to talk sophisticated sometimes (he gets this annoying tone in his voice) and I especially hate it when he gives love advice. I also dislike it when he gets on his high horse about not being a fan. In addition, I think his writing style has gotten very tired. The bottom line is that nowadays he really rubs me the wrong way and I usually avoid listening to his program, though I do enjoy Spence Checketts.

He's the most honest of the local personalities even if that means he takes the antagonist role in a debate too often (maybe that's because pessimism is closer to realism than blind optimism is).

This is the way a pessimist sees the world. An optimist would say almost the opposite (though I think your inclusion of the word "blind" is odd, as if you believe pessimistic people have their eyes open and optimistic people do not).

Agreed. Gunther is insane. He's got crazy quick intellect, and he is self-deprecating.

Olsen is entertaining because not even he knows what is going to come out of his mouth next.

The (vast) majority of most people's (I'm including all people, not just privileged/first-world people) hopes and dreams don't materialize, that's self-evident. If you have an alternate life experience, then you are in elite category of luckiness.
