A radio station like the SCORE or CBS in general are pretty dumb. Podcasts have become such a large source of competition for sports radio along with Sirius and XM. Those people know the topics they're talking about and don't act like jackasses. I've been tuning more and more to ESPN chicago. Kind of vanilla but they're enjoying themselves. Plus ESPN is pushing all their podcasts like crazy for national shows, fantasy football, football, nba etc. They know what's up!
Then you got a little guy like WSSP. But the big show is great example of excellent chemistry and being able to disagree with callers nicely. Sparky starts shit just to be an ass but I don't question his knowledge much with sports. Guy like Rammie has his comedy gig and somehow manages to come to work everyday!!!!!! His co-workers like him too bc they've actually attended his shows. Goes to show the positives of not being a huge va-jay!!

I have been score-free for a few years now. Ryan said it well...last I checked that station was overrun with bitching, whining, arguing and negativity. I would add also too many smart asses and rudeness to callers also. Kind of like certain sports websites. At some point, most people outgrow that childish nonsense and we move on to more interesting forms of entertainment. And yes..if this website turns into the same childish nonsense that is on other sites, I will likely move on from here also. This post is dreamy.

Kap and (finfer I think subbing) Haugh is on now on a replay during the rain delay. I hate Kap on that CSN show when he is in a suit but this is not bad at all...especially after listening to the competition earlier today. I don't know about the rest of the shows on The Game but if this station ever gets a big boy signal then it could be legit. They are just talking sports both national and local without being condescending assholes.

in my 2+ hours in the car every day, on sirius xm I can catch all the scores on sportscenter, a little college fb talk, some dan patrick, steve czaban, pga talk, nfl, mlb, and more..and no condescending assholes on any of them. There are local yokel radio assholes in many cities, but the more Iisten to other cities' offerings on my travels, I am reminded that one lasting memory of the score is they have more than their share.

I'm really starting to believe it will be Mannelly. I most likely won't listen to that show.

That show is going to be hamp and holmes bad. If they have this hard on for former bears then why not wait out a year ...shitcan grimace and then put Larry and Peanut together once he retires. Not sure he has any interest in living in the area after playing or being on the radio but he is pretty energetic, NICE, and entertaining.

I missed the whole thing. Did they really go with Mannelly? Matty must be throwing a tantrum. He was pimping for that spot hard.

There is no chance I will listen to this.
But then again, I didn't listen to it before.

I tuned in for the announcement and it was sickening to listen to Dan and Larry stroke grimace for dealing with such a tough situation. HE WASNT FUCKING THERE half the time anyways. Kap's show is going to kick this ones ass in the rating if they ever get their AM digits.

The more I think about it though, it's a massive upgrade over Mac. * Even if Mannelly knows nothing about the NBA, it's still more than Mac * Even if Mannelly likes hockey there's no way in hell he talks about it as much as his predecessor * Definitely knows football better than Mackeyfish
I'm coming around.

I've never hated a host this much. Even North or Bernstein, and they're supposed to draw that type of reaction. Spiegel is actually vanilla. At least by Chicago radio levels. He now has a host who's even more vanilla. I'm going to give it a shot, because Mannelly at least seems like a good dude. I definitely prefer content to screaming and bullshit. However, that will probably last a couple segments next week. I've already started to think about avoiding it altogether.

However, that will probably last a couple segments next week. I've already started to think about avoiding it altogether. Actually, that's nothing compared to this. When Mac and Spiegs first started I liked Spiegs more. It was my first time hearing both. But Divapants has become just too horrible to listen too. He's just the absolute worst. 1. Sensitivity: I get it. The "feelings show" but you don't have to be such a whiny vagina about everything. Holy cow. He got so pissed Mac bet on the Heat with shep and zawzer on board which he funded. Mac was very generous with seeding super bowl bets, show pot, bonuses for the team. 1a. He was such a pansy about fat jokes. Holy cow relax fat pants. It's called busting balls and it's what people do. He freaking cries a river in between his 4th and 6th cheeseburger. When shep zawzer and Mac would talk high school war stories he'd get all pissy. 2. Pay attention. WTF is so hard about paying attention to the guest or partner? Instead he's trying a new chocolate fudge potato chip or dicking around on twitter. 3. Criticize. He's such a fucking clown when it comes to criticizing. Optimist, fine, yea, whatever. But everything is balloons and ponies with this clown. He's so sexually attracted to Jay Cutler it's amazing. The Bulls can do it! The Hawks can do it! Yea go cubs! I'm contractually obligated to say yay go sox! Everything is so happy go lucky I want to puke. 4. Attendance: I like when he's gone to play karaoke. The issue is all the times he advertises they play and the next day where he says it was sooooooo amazing and blah blah blah. 5. He so a pansy. Politically incorrect but he's such a fucking female about everything. Ties to point 1. When he had Reuben he did that "oh man, the world is so different. You just don't understand" horseshit. Dude, probably 50% of the listeners have kids. Fuck off with you have all the answers bullshit. 6. No creativity. What successful segment is his? Over/unders? That's mac's bc it's gambling. Mac let him have it out of laziness. He never pays them off either. Dumb. 7. Assaulting of interns. He always threw them under the bus, told them his jabba the hut ass needed food and yelled at them for getting his 17 item order wrong. 8. Dumb sports thoughts. He hates football, doesn't know hockey, too sensitive about baseball and basketball. Waaaa waaaaa World Series!!!! Why are we talking Thursday night football?!?!?!? He's just such a bitch. 9. Eating on air. Wtf fatty. Seriously? That's professional how? Or good for the listener how? 10. Condescending: mmmmmmmmhhhhhhhmmmmm, *sigh*, you just don't understand. Etc etc etc. east coast douchebaggery showing true colors.

Does this latest move make Laurence the odds on favorite to replace Boers?

Oh, I had the vision of this post in my head. Since I like both board members, I thought there's something wrong with me. Haha. But I'm OK with my thoughts.

Does this latest move make Laurence the odds on favorite to replace Boers? I don't think so. But despite my lack of interest for Mac, he'll probably end up with the afternoon shot at The Game. Soon. It will be successful by their standards, and eventually be a thing.

KS, that list is incomplete. That's just a sampling of the dickish behavior of Grimace.
M&H during football is now the only show on WSCR I'll listen to. They're a solid pair during football but after...no more WSCR. Pretty messed up how bad 670 has become.
I'm a GAME and WSSP guy.

I think it's out of Cleveland. Like WTAM or something. That signal was a blowtorch when I used to drive around Illinois, Indiana and Michigan.

interesting....i've never heard that one but I will have 1250 out of cleveland on. 1100 might be a cinci station. Where is kirkwood!!! He would know.

Post by Kirkwoodref on Sept 1, 2014 22:19:35 GMT -6
Never heard of 1100. I would be able to get the Score whenever I'd drive down to Bloomington, IN or near Ohio border. Then I'd switch to music until 1250 got into range.
Can you use TuneIn? I have the tape cassette thingy where I listen to WSSP and Game in my car through my phone
