Does Head to Head radio have a call screener?

I ask this because I am not sure I have ever listened to a sports talk radio show that jumps from topic to topic more than Head to Head. I listen to the show, but believe it would be better if they stayed on topic and actually screened calls to ensure that the caller had something relevant to say about the current topic. I believe all the ESPN talk shows do that and it makes for more structured, in depth discussions. What do you guys think?

I don't think they like callers, ever noticed how long some have to wait for a few seconds?
Can Richard not interrupt Matt's dialogue?

And pretty lame ones at that. I was excited about their show before it came out because of Wyatt, and I always thought dicks show was pretty decent, but the way the just play on twitter for 2 hours is horrible.

There is some decent dialogue at times but like you said they're instantly distracted by a tweet.

Wyatt's show was unbearably hokey and meandering. Cross was depressing and out of touch. They sort of balance each other out.

I agree, I actually like the show and listen to it often. There is a great passion for college football in this state and due to that we really need a show like "Head to Head". I just get frustrated sometimes when they are discussing an interesting topic, and right when they are getting into the true guts of the issue, they take a call from someone who completely changes the subject. I just wanted to make the point that Colin Cowherd and SVP don't allow that to happen because they have strict call screeners that only allow people to have input that is on topic. Because "Head to Head" allows this, most of their discussions are only surface level and nothing is ever solved. <div>
</div><div>I like the show, but just think it could be better if Jethro wasn't allowed to call in and discuss Southern Miss when the on-going conversation is about MSU and OM, or vice versa. However, I am all for callers that are on topic and bring valid, relevant points that enhance the show.</div>

where they will not notice your complaint, but are too lazy to call or tweet, where they certainly will?

Agree, I actually believe that SPS has a voice, and thats why I post here. When you listen to Head to Head, you will realize that Matt gets about half of his rumors from this board.
