[We Got The Whole 9]

Motherfuckers at ESPNLA just took out Thompson and Trudell and will replace them with Stephen A next week. What a crock of horsefeathers.

Yep, Goff is perfect to pair with Dan. He'll challenge Dan. It should be interesting, because Terry was such a yes-man for Dan.

 

Why do people assume Dan needs to be challenged?

 

If Terry was a hype man then he was an ingenious one. That show destroyed the afternoon saloon.

 

Probably because a show where Dan has someone that will actually take a stance against some of his opinions is a show I'd be more interested in listening to.

 

But you already listen to them, as do a lot of other people. Why mess with the formula?

I have listened to them...but I don't on a regular basis, because frankly I find it to be the "Dan Preaches" show. Spiegel and Goff has been a much better show than B&B since Goff's return, imo.

I listened to B&B a ton, but don't think I enjoyed it as much as I did 5-6 years ago when Terry was more engaged. I listened but only because it was one of two shows on and I marginally liked what they talked about more than Waddle and Silvy. I think if you gave Dan another 1-2 years unchecked he would be intolerable.

I listen when something big happens, like a new coaching hire or GM transition, and given what I hear in those small doses I have no idea how anybody can make it a regular listen.

I can't even listen then. booooooooooooooooring...

The worst part of talk radio is callers. And that's kinda B&B's favorite schtick.

I find it less annoying than the fact that during football season they have a minimum 3 football guests a day - and they all cover the same ground of a terrible Bears team. At least with callers there's a chance there's going to be something totally bizarre and funny.

 

Goff and Bernstein is a good combo. The best era of the show was when Goff was a producer and Boers was still engaged, and they virtually had a 3 host show there. My only concern is, as someone who will sometimes listen to both shows, that whoever replaces him on Spiegel's show will be vanilla nonsense.

 

This is the worst time of year for sports radio (if you have a terrible football team) anyway because there isn't much to talk about really.

I don't know anything about this Perkins guy other that what I've read the last couple of days, but he seems to have a lot of high regard from what I've read. Whether his personality will work with Spiegs is obviously a concern, not as much because Spiegs is hard to work with, but he's a complete outside that hasn't worked with anyone in Chicago. I read someone that said that this is only the 2nd host hire the score has made that has no ties to the station or something like that.

I find sports radio a decent way to pass the time while at work or driving as long as they aren't talking about teams I care about. Then their universally terrible arguments and opinions are more amusing than infuriating.

as glowing as the score is about the cubs and everything they do (even before they got the radio deal) i don't think it would irritate you too much.

I'm straight up with jersey on this, and probably less of a participate then he.

[Derwood]

Yep. I listen while I'm driving around (depending on which show is on). 20 minutes of Mike & Mike or the local shows is fine. I can't imagine listening to a full 3 or 4 hour program (plus I'm never at my desk long enough to listen to anything at length)

Bernstein's opinions are pretty much right on, though. He's the one who pioneered shaming idiots who think ridiculously truthy things.

In this golden age of podcasts, it's a travesty any of these useless goons have on-air employment.

Except all these goons produce podcasts as well.

[Sammy Sofa]

That's unfortunate.

[David]

That's unfortunate.

 

their podcasts are just the regular shows in podcast form anyway

Columbus hosts make separate podcasts outside of their daily shows

and it still doesn't change or belie his point at all JUST SAYING

Yeah, we're judging you regardless, Derwood.

Saying nothing about the vile person that he is, that was a decent social media exchange by someone I wouldn't have expected it from.

yep, must have hired a new decent social media person

 

 

he has to see the light as a guy who can be seen as less of a dirtball than he is by virtue of not being trump the next three years
