They got wannstedt in as a co-host today and I have to say he's not terrible, except for that awful accent.

Eh...he likes to talk...he needs to let the people that are being interviewed be the ones that get to talk.

I actually liked Wanny better than either Mulligan or Hanley.

I would totally rather listen to a Wanny show on my drive in to work.

Me too. I thought it was a nice change of pace from the usual crappy show that's on every morning.

That hammered interview he does is amazing.

Could you imagine that [expletive] happening today? That [expletive] is a legend.

It's amazing that people are just now realizing Simmons is a lesbian.

[SouthSideRyan]

I know everyone hates him, but I thought Tosh's takedown of ESPN was pretty damn good.

Definitely. And I don't hate him. I don't watch the show regularly anymore, but I still think he's funny.

The Game is already no more, although Kap and Haugh will, for some reason, continue to be on CSN.

Hmmm did this last longer than Mike North's web radio thing? Either way, can @thekapman please go to whatever hole we dumped Mike North into?

If they had a better radio signal maybe it would have been more successful?

That sucks...other than 1-2 shows, all of the sports talk radio shows are interchangable. I basically would flip through the 3 stations to see which one wasn't in commercial, or had the best discussion going on. I definitely found myself on The Game quite a bit...they always seemed to be live when the score and espn were in commercial. Like having that 3rd option but I never thought it would stick for long. 3 local sports talk stations is too much.

[UMFan83]

Wow Quigs and Finfer found out about the news while live on air. Finfer is going off on the station for not telling anyone. It's getting pretty good....I'm surprised they arent going to pull them off the air. Saying he doesn't have respect for his bosses, calling them classless, wondering how they are going to finish the last 90 minutes of the show.

 

Even more awkward, Quigs is apparently part of the management and knew about the decision last night and didn't tell Finfer. Quigs is apologizing on air. This is radio gold.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Oh man, I caught the end of it.

[UMFan83]

Oh man, I caught the end of it.

 

I can't see them putting him back on the air. Gotta hurt his ability to get another job too

Nope, just came back from commercial break and is still going off.

 

"We're still professional enough to do our live reads."

 

"I guess that's what we're calling ourselves for the rest of the year."

Dang, missed the full rant...tuned in just in time for this. Cutler's press conference might be giving him time to calm.

Really though, college stations were getting higher ratings than The Game.
