I like Rongey but he was very combative with callers who had valid complaints about a team that was in the middle of a decade run that produced sub .500 teams.

Give him McKnight's job. That guy still sucks long donkey schlongs on White Sox Radio

Rongey was a train wreck on White Sox pre and post. He poisoned the well so badly I never want to hear him do anything else again. He's all smug and no substance.

Rongey was a train wreck on White Sox pre and post. He poisoned the well so badly I never want to hear him do anything else again. He's all smug and no substance. On the other hand, I think McKnight is perfect in that role. He's generally polite to people and he can geek out on as many statistics as he can stomach.

Tangentially speaking, it's still amusing to me that he once got dumped by Ginger Zee and proclaimed that he was better off for it.

I am listening to Rongey and Esposito now, and the thought occurs to me that Rongey may be the dumbest regular host in the station's history. If he's not, he's certainly in the team photo with Julie and Drinky. This doesn't mean that Ranger can't be entertaining, especially when paired with Bernstein, but he's just not very bright.

How the fuck did nobody pick the Mary Tyler Moore show? It pretty much held the prime slot Nick at Nite during the 90s.

Is he taking Grobber's spot on overnights? Heard him at around 11:30pm last night on The Score. I'd be good with that. I wonder if Ranger would or not.

Rongey and Grote are splitting it for now.

I heard the first 40 minutes on Thursday. It was fine for the time slot, better than tonight's 7pm hour of Rick Camp I heard in the car.

why would a roof be needed for climate change?

To stop the floods.

Gordon Wittenmyer on with Rongey.

Every ballpark in the next 20 years will have to have a roof on it because of climate change.

Then Wittenmyer continued.

We're seeing all these extremes everywhere. And we're seeing whether you're in a hot climate, desert climate, tropical climate, or a cold climate. You know, they're putting roofs on these things. I don't know what it means for the Cubs or Red Sox. Maybe Wrigley & Fenway will be grandfathered in.

What the fuck does that even mean? Yes - people like temperature control in all parts of the country. People who own stadiums also like them to be operable year round.

What a dumbass.

It has become a religion amongst many, especially those with limited intellectual capacity that need to prove to themselves that they are smarter and care more, unfortunately this has polluted sports talk due to the fact that many of the sports talk people are from wealthy backgrounds (Parkins, Bernstein, Holmes, etc..) and are seen as dumbest members of their families.

Have listened to many podcasts detailing the similarities between the emotional investment and willingness to suspend cognitive process involved in religion matching closely the mindset displayed by Climate Change zealots.
