It sounds like he's covering the mouthpiece of his phone while he talks.

[Guest]

More than usual. He was slurring his words.

[Guest]

He has to be nice to stone. He is forced to, but there's really no other radio guy that talks about advanced metrics more than Bernstein you freak.

 

That doesn't mean he isn't a douche. Hell, he's a sports radio guy, it is practically a prerequisite.

Of course he's a pompous ass dick. He's just entertaining get as hell.

This is the actual cell phone Don Cooper uses for his appearances on @mullyhanley.

Lol. At first I thought it was the radio signal but Mully and Hanley sounded fine.

 

Also, I [expletive] hate Don Cooper.

Meh, I understand prior commitments but I was hoping for Holmes. It's going to be a bland show with Mannelly trying too hard on sports other than FB.

[Flames24Rulz]

That Cooper interview...how did a producer not cut him off and try to get him a better connection on his phone? Truly an amateur radio show.

He appears to be a relatively smart dude...especially for an ex player (and for radio), so I'm gonna give him a chance.

 

 

Also, I really, really don't like poor man's bernstein wannabe creepy laurence holmes

I'd have been ok with Holmes, but I know what I'm getting with him. Mannelly is new, and I like some of the "inside the locker room" stories he's told.

[UK1679666180]

Jiggets has been the only one to be somewhat decent as a former athlete talking about every sport, of course he got stuck with North. Bull and the Bear was awful. Hampton was worse than all of them. There hasn't been a good sports writer either that made that transition.

I actually liked Finfer before he left for 87.7.

Holmes filled-in for McNeil before and the mid-day show's ratings were terrible.

Mini-Bernstein's act doesn't fly with a lot of people.

[Guest]

pretty solid parody of something bernstein will say in a few weeks hahaha

 

I was listening to the Score's new midday show on the way in from the gym and Patrick Mannelly, who you can hear with Matt Spiegel from 9 to 1, was making a really. instructive. point about knee placement. Knee placement! Not knee REplacement, or members of Knee Replacement, but how the angles of your joints can affect your entire burst at the snap. These are the things you don't even think about, let alone talk about, unless there's someone who has been on the field and on the sidelines as much as Patrick has. I mean, stuff like this -- or even just about shoulders, it can be with shoulders, too -- this is football crack. This is football porn. If Matt Bowen is like going to football school, then Patrick Mannelly is like going to football graduate school. And Dan Durkin, even! It's, it's just so...refreshing that we're digesting Bears games and finally after all these years we're not talking about DAAAAAH WE GAHHTA BE MORE BLUE-COLLAR. Just the other day, someone came up to me at the gym and said "I really liked what you were saying about pivot points yesterday" and I said "well, and I thank you for that, but I didn't mention pivot points." That was Patrick who brought up pivot points. And that's when I think it really resonated with me that we've left a lot of these atavistic football perspectives where they belong, in the past. Not in 2014. Not on these airwaves. You've got the Score.

That forum is a total trainwreck. It's like every meatball that ever calls into those shows all joined the same forum. It's actually incredible how awful it is.

Yeah, I saw that. Really...nobody should ever go to that forum, ever.

Didn't stop Holmes from posting a long explanation of why he wasn't interested in the spot recently filled by Mannelly.

Cooper was always out of his mind before, during, and after when they'd do Coop at the Cork

haha, yeah, sureeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee you weren't interested in that job, Larry. It's only a better daypart compared to the spot that he currently hosts, unless he loves getting pre-empted half the year for the Sox/Monday & Thursday Night Football/Illinois/etc.

Lots of people like Holmes but not many will listen to him on purpose.
