Steve Duemig

Steve Duemig is an American sports media personality. He was also a former host on The Golf Channel's Grey Goose 19th hole. He still hosts Fox Sports Radio's weekly call-in show College Game Time Warmup, and has a daily local sports talk show on AM 620 WDAE in Tampa, Florida with his long time producer, Jerry Petuck. Duemig goes by the on-air moniker "The Big Dog." The Show has consistently been rated #1 in the market for years.

Steve has a talent for upsetting listeners with his ignorance. He has actually transformed into the radio personality he created in order to generate ratings.

Quote: "I have no problem with any host expressing their opinion, even if it is a constant bashing. I haven't listened to him in years, but what made the on-air situation untenable for me is the fact that Duemig allowed virtually NO opposing opinion to be offered and fairly analyzed. For a long time Duemig boasted that "he has the button" and he was happy to use it to suppress a fair discussion.

He's not knowledgeable, he's not particularly bright, he's not interested in actual discussion. What he IS is a bully. A bully with a microphone and a dump button. And just like any other schoolyard bully, if stood up to by someone who actually knows what they're talking about he would take a serious beating or run away crying. And that's exactly what he's afraid of.

He's an intolerable boor who has no respect for his listeners, no respect for callers who differ from his opinion, and no respect for his image. He's a broken record, he's the BornaBuc of the airwaves.

There is no free speech issue here because none of us have the right to express our opinion on WDAE's air. They own it, and as long as Duemig is generating revenue for them they'll allow his slanted, biased, inaccurate, infantile, asinine and fabricated views to dominate their frequency.

What good is a "sports talk" radio program that offers only one side of an argument? None. But WDAE and Duemig aren't interested in providing legitimate sports talk, they're only interested in the bottom line.

I don't listen and I don't even get to hear the Blitz because of him, so other than missing out on the PR segment once a week, WDAE can switch to all polka music for all I care. But they're not as invulnerable as they believe themselves to be. And one day, when some frustrated Bucs fan decides to take the reigns and organize the others, they can put pressure on station management that could (I repeat: could) make changes in his show. I know how to do this, but I don't know that I have the time to waste.

I know (well, "knew") Duemig for years, both on-air and off. He's not worthy. Period. He's not worth my time, nor the wasted breath of thoughts of real, honest, fair-minded Bucs fans." DTG

Duemig was born in Pensacola, Florida but was raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He reportedly was a fan of the Philadelphia Flyers, Philadelphia Eagles, and Philadelphia 76ers as child.

The format on Duemig's show usually involves lame conspiracy theories surrounding the area's local sports teams (Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Tampa Bay Devil Rays, and the Tampa Bay Lightning), Florida's college football teams, golf, and horse racing.

He also played on the first The Big Break aired on The Golf Channel.

Career prior to broadcast communications
