Listening to it now (the question is in my podcast version, BTW)...oh my goodness was that bad. Spiegel tried to couch it in "You're asking me right now..." and offered a half-hearted "I'm here, locked and loaded, every day" to, I guess, KINDA make up for once again saying on-air that he would rather have had someone else paired with him?

I'm not sure what to make of the contract thing, assuming it's true: either the writing is on the wall for Spiegs that they gave his new partner a longer deal than he's got, or he has awful representation. If Spiegel is in the long-term plans of this station, and I were representing him (or I were him), I would have been in Mitch's office demanding an extension to match the length of Parkins' deal, at the very least. It would be irresponsible to see yet another replacement host installed, then given a longer contract than you, a "tenured" host if there ever was one, and not at least ask for an extension to match, and I think it's telling that he doesn't have one or that it wasn't brought up at all. Neither of which are good for one Matt Spiegel.

Got to have two things going for you to do that. Talent and confidence. Both are lacking in the case of the cover singer.

Ehhh... I listened to it... Spiegel's answer is awful, no matter how it was received, but it wasn't totally awkward because Parkins took it in stride.

Spiegel's picture should be in the dictionary under "bitch", though. He doesn't realize that every time he talks shit to Parkins and it doesn't upset Parkins, Parkins wins. Spiegel never got that with Bernstein, either.

If Spiegs is out at some point he will limit his options to Chicago due to his son I would assume.

J Hood probably works less than Lawrence.

Spiegal and Rosner have good chemistry. It would have been a better show vs Spiegs/Parkins.

Yep. That is why I immediately made that Hawks Talk thread.

The last thing the station needed was another young, snot nosed liberal like Parkins. Rozner connects with much of the same base that Boers did.

Neither of these guys deserves the show they have. What kind of an outfit is Mitch running that cannon fodder like Abbatacola and Rozner have a point in being upset at the hiring of Parkins? This station is at its lowest point ever. Would love to see a third station headlined by Mac go against this crap.

I would like to see Mac n crew too, Hood is the second best host in town. Build a new station around Mac n Hood and mop the floor with ESPN and the Score.

Mac would easily beat the score. Not sure how they would measure those results and take out the Cubs ratings. Not going to happen. CBS wins with the Cubs and we get stuck with filler.

Yep. Give me hosts who have strong opinions. For example, I don't want to hear from the Theo sychophant amateur sabermetricians that SCR suddenly employs. Sabermetrics is PTFB radio.

Mac is done and who cares. Blowhard just like North. Overpaid has been.

When Parkins has the show without a lazy fat ass it will all be better. Time is coming.

Anyone hear it yesterday? The caller who won asked Spiegs to name the ugliest child (14 and under) of a Score employee. He said two came to mind but wouldn't say.

Yeah the caller was clever. Knew it was not going to be answered and got a small prize.

And more awkwardness. Parkins was asked who is the worst at his job. He took Rick Camp

One other thing that came out was a question about what Spiegs may have said to his spouse/partner when he was mad beyond belief. He spun it around that he never said anything but wrote a long letter he never sent. Basically though he was definitely letting it out there that he was very upset with his ex leaving him for the work husband. Or at least very mad about how it all went down.

I PTFB when I hear this segment coming on. It's an uncomfortable listen for me...maybe that's the point of the segment, but I don't like it. I don't find it interesting or entertaining.
