Richard Deitsch of SI.com praised Rickard s work with ESPN Radio when he named him the 2006 Sports Illustrated Radio Personality of the Year by saying, cquote There are bigger and more famous hosts on ESPN Radio, but like Fowler and Brown, Rickard stands out for his understated professionalism. He s a sports talk host who opts for a reasoned and mannered approach to topics. No screaming. No shtick. No declaring to his audience why he s the smartest guy in the room.
