WGN radio booth

[Guest]

How will Pat introduce Coomer, "hello everybody, it's Pat Hughes along with former Cub grea... er... Former Cubs play...er.. Former Cubs part time pinch hitter for one season, Ron Coomer."

Does Coomer have any nicknames? I imagine they would try to avoid "Pat and Ron" references.

He's from Chicago, so maybe they could play that up.

 

"Chicago Cubs Baseball is on the Air! Along with former Cubs great Julius Pepperwood, this is Pat Hughes"

[Clem Fandango]

I would listen to WGN calls every game is Julius Pepperwood were the color man.

Agreed. He should probably do all tv broadcasts as well.

Ron Coomer is your man. Two year-deal:

Well, he's not Todd Hollandsworth, so that's good.

Coomer is on with Spiegs and Holmes @ 11:30AM on THE SCORE(Friday).

I heard that interview. It didn't go well. Coomer didn't seem "into it", lots of "Ummm" and "you know" and they made fun of him when the interview was over. They speculated that he was a little nervous and didn't know if it would cause issues doing an interview with a competitor station. I wasn't listening closely and it didn't sound that bad to me but Holmes, Spiegs and the producer weren't as kind. It wouldn't surprise me in any way if Coomer refused to do anything else with the score after hearing their discussion after he hung up.

 

Of note though, Coomer did say that he has a radio show in Minneapolis and that his interview was a result of Pat actually requesting they interview his friend Coomer. They have apparently been friends for some time.

If having a buddy around bring Pat out of his funk then this Coomer goon can be as terrible as he wants to be.

I thought I had read that it was Moreland who was friends with Coomer. Am I crazy?

The only people more catty about their own kind than radio "personalities" are comedians and teenage girls.

Agreed and as I'm thinking about it now it did have a feel of "We're the polished radio hosts - you're a dumb jock who's lucky in his friends" feel to it. Like I said though, I wasn't listening closely and it really didn't sound that bad to me.

RON COOMER IS A MAN OF THE PEOPLE AND IS FRIENDS WITH EVERYONE!!!

There are a few hosts (Holmes) on the Score who try to emulate Bernstein - which I find really annoying since Bernstein is a total dick to callers (meatballs and all).

I do agree but there are a lot of meatball callers that deserve their treatment. I can tolerate Bernstein, he's at least intelligent, but Boers is horrible. So is Jerkovich on ESPN1000.

Holmes is obviously a Bernstein protege, but he's completely not a dick to callers. He's actually really tolerant generally, and probably listens to callers a little closer than most hosts.

Very true re: the "protege" part of Holmes - and he is somewhat decent to meatballs

I listen to B&B when I can't stand more shitty news about congress or the middle east. Bernstein runs the show and is a total [expletive]. He's bright, but he gets in a shitty mood and treats people like [expletive]. Many deserve it, but many others don't even get a chance. Boers is a completely [expletive] worthless yes man
