Kolek planning to go pro
Your floor-mate wasn't the only one who thought that.It was a very, very, very common put-down of MJ back then.
Dan versus callers was a bit. They purposely fed him meatball Chicago fans. He would tear those Superfans apart for being mothbreathing idiots. It was great radio. Just like Packers post game throw on the drunkest fans that call in to ramble on about how Jeff Janis will turn the franchise around.
If it was a "bit" it was grossly overdone. I got so tired of Bernstein picking on the defenseless every day that I stopped listening.
None of these hold a candle to the former Mike and Mike show on ESPN. I know I'm talking about a weine from Northwestern and a Domer but they were good together.

Hardest hit were middays and afternoons on The Score, both of which fell out of the top 10.I think everyone except DeCastro saw this coming.

Haugh is...not good.He got absolutely b!tch-slapped by Akiem Hicks a few weeks ago, when Haugh kept asking Hicks about KMack. It was uncomfortable.Parkins and McNeil are painful. Instead of Bernstein and Goff talking race, it's Mac telling Parkins how young he is and Parkins talking about how young he is. Mac must spend 5 minutes on his show prep while he's taking his pre-show crap.Haven't listened much to Bernstein and McKnight to give them a review.
Change is inevitable, and obviously the health and well being of Boers declining necessitated some changes, but I've found the new lineup to be a rough go. What's funny to me is I used to never be a big Laurence Holmes fan, but have found him to be more enjoyable over the last few months. Maybe it's because he's the one constant when there isn't a Cubs/Bulls game.
Agreed. I haven't listened more than 5 minutes since the Score made their lineup changes.
Same- I have stopped listening to sports radio entirely. Only podcasts now, and only a few of those. No knuckle headed callers.
Same. I was full time listener. Switched to podcasts after the shake up, not looking back.
Just curious, do you listen to LeBatard’s podcast? Judging by your posts, I think you’d enjoy him. It’s my must listen each day.
You're being very, very generous to Mac on his prep time. His destiny was to sell trucks in NWI. The Score should have left him there.Haugh was brutal when he was on The Game. Not surprised to see the morning show ratings down with him.
He's a filler listen. The daily pod kinda hurts I think. I'm very golf heavy and PMT. DLB fills the content gap, which is important over the winter. Maybe I'll make it a higher priority.KenPom started a podcast, it's gaining momentum.
