And Robbie Gould has been around long enough and is on, by far, the most covered team in town. Not knowing how to pronounce it at this point when you're on a sports radio station is pretty egregious IMO.

 

There are sports writers/hosts in this town that still say Urlacher like "locker".

 

I actually think I do too. I'm not sure. I think I do both.

But Robbie Goold is the correct pronunciation.

I think he's ignoring you

Apparently Schilling said on the Dan Patrick Show that he was making $2.5mil/year at ESPN........

Jessica Mendoza is the worst baseball announcer who has ever announced the game of baseball. Now, if you want to call me a sexist, go ahead. But I'm an observer, and I've been observing and listening to baseball announcers for 20, 30, 40, 50 years. And I'll tell you right now I don't care if you're Cassidy Hubbarth, I love Cassidy, Christine Brennan, Michelle Beadle, these are all people I respect, Ann Meyers, Cheryl Miller. You want me to go on? Pam Oliver. Because apparently I have to tell everybody nowadays - because of the PC crowd - the females I like before I can criticize one. If Jessica Mendoza continues on I believe someday they're going to have to replace her, unless the rating are okay, but I don't care. What I do now is I shut the sound down to watch that game; she's just not a good announcer. If she was a man, she'd be (fired like) Tony Kornheiser or Dennis Miller. OK? And that's the God honest truth about it. Period. End of Story. I listened for an inning last night, and I had to shut it off."

Not only that, but he's wrong. I don't watch much ESPN anymore, but she's actually a pretty good analyst -- much better than many of the other alternatives that we have to endure.

 

Abbatacola going to work today, or nah?

Good Lord. He is so wrong.

Ignoring the sexism, and pretending for a moment that she's bad.....ESPN had Joe Morgan as an announcer for years and years.

Just like the Cubs to trade the reigning NL MVP for a relief pitcher.

I believe every DiCaprio movie would be just a little better as a Matt Damon movie.

 

God, I didn’t miss this. I really didn’t. I want to drown this sentence in a [expletive] sewer.

 

I laughed so hard at this.
