bmags Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 I sometimes listen to mully and hanley on drive to gym in morning or while i'm making breakfast. I realize it's hard for these guys who are up at 3am to keep up with stuff that happened sometimes late the night before. But even so, just find it to be so boring. So many stories about "oh man, remember when we were in new orleans and we went to a bar and oh the drinks were Tall and what we drank like I was drinking all night and we would just go the next bar and the drinks were bigger! oh that was fun" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bananarchy Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 I like McKnight but he's not doing it for me. The midday show is super weird with no Chemistry. Should have kept B&G at the midday if they wanted Mac in afternoon drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems like a good guy, but he just sounds like White Sox post game all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeCastro really screwed him, even if he and Goff still have their contracts. His show’s ratings weren’t that bad and I didn’t feel he was too political. McKnight and Bernstein are okay and I can only stand McNeil and Parkins in small doses. I definitely have to go all around the dial to fill my work day and enjoy cross talk at 1:45 on AM 1000 as opposed to 670’s. Bernstein is good in his slot and it’s nice to have crosstalk in the morning, but he would be better on the afternoons where we could hear the meatball Chicago sports fan call in. Hearing some of those idiots call in and argue politics was funny too. It sucks for Spiegs, but THAT'S THE RADIO BUSINESS. IMO, Spiegs has no reason to hold a grudge against Mac. Spiegs is still doing fill-in work at The SCORE. Last I heard, Goff was on the air in Charlotte, NC. I think he's finished in Chicago. Here's a thread about Spiegs... Mac Meets Spiegel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a thread about Spiegs... Mac Meets Spiegel One thing I was curious about was if radio contracts are guaranteed. The reason being is that Spiegs and Goff has mentioned they were still on the Score’s payroll and were just in the bullpen. I think what’s got to be tough for Spiegs is that he had been on air in the slot for so long that when he was the odd man out he lost his job. Unlike Goff, I don’t think Spiegs had lots of political conversation. They did some discussion after the Las Vegas shooting but that was about it. Goff went after some dumb ass callers over some social issues in which he was right to call out bigotry and racism. I understand it is a sports station, but the anthem discussion and racist tweets have a place in a discussion, especially in the age that we live in. Entercom has 670 and the other stations working in concert to do whatever DeCastro desires. I wish I had a good question to ask about DeCastro to make the hosts uncomfortable about him as their boss, but on the surface McNeil and Parkins are unaffected. I do think Bernstein definitely got neutered with the change, which is too bad because he and Terry were on fire when they were together. At least he is analytical in his older age, Mac seems to have lost a step in his discussions with Parkins. That could also be rust, though. Where’d you see that about Goff? I thought he was contributing to Fox 32 and working on Sirius XM radio. Edited August 13, 2018 by The Beast 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that is something I can get on board with - Spiegel and Parkins together again! I wish they could get the final track of the Mitch album completed. I can’t listen to the Score as much wth all of the Cubs talk. When the Sox are relevant again I hope that they get more air time to keep things interesting. I switch back to TuneIn podcasts when it’s just Cubs talk and switch back when they talk football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could be right, I honestly have no idea how their income stream should look. But every site and newspaper is dumping writers and they just keep hiring them. Something has to give it seems.

He and Parkins sound so much more natural together over McNeil and Parkins. I actually got more sports out of their segments than I do with McNeil.
