I'm curious.

I've heard him sub on the SCORE a few times. I know he got fired from his St. Louis job a few months ago. He subbed today for Parkins and Spiegel.

I'm just wondering if he has a full time job. I would think not if he's always available for these sub roles. If not, how is he paying his bills?

Rongey, it's over. Like many, you thought you were gonna become the next Bob Costas. You're a boring white guy. Nothing worse then a boring white guy on the air. Go into selling insurance or some shit like that. You're pushing 50. Stop hoping for these sports media jobs at this point. At the SCORE especially. I think they're set with their shifts for at least a year. You should know that as well. Nobody is getting fired for your dumb ass to slip in.

Is Rongey your psychotic replacement for Goff and Drinky? Pathetic.

No.

Hopefully Rahimi leaves for a role she is better suited for and Rongey is paired up with Bernstein. That show would have potential.

Potential to host the two most hatable dbags in town.

Maybe he got a job at Trader Joe's

Just saw this. That is awesome.

I guess Rongey does an Audecy gambling show now. Like a podcast thing like Joe O does. I heard him mention that when he was subbing on the SCORE.

I guess that's where all the failed regular radio guys go. GAMBLING PODCAST SHOWS.

What gambler is following their tips?

I remember their expert (I think it was Ira Herschkowitz) was something around .500 and other hosts were impressed at his work.

back in the day CHUS harassed Scott Farrell for lying about his records to Farrell's embarassment.

Chris Rongey is the type of person who will realize in a few years that life passed him by and probably off himself

I mean even fucking Matt Abbatacola eventually realized he was in a dead end and moved on to something else

Drinky could always hang his hat on the fact that no matter what he did, decent looking women would bang him. He just needs to get a vasectomy and realize he's bad at marriage.

Rongey...I have no idea on his personal life, but yeah, he certainly acts like in insufferable and miserable human being.

He is in his 40s, unmarried, no kids, and his career of choice has been on a downward slide with about a zero % chance of even going back to what it was 10 years ago for him.

Guy is going to wake up 1 moment and realize he has nothing in his life to hang his hat on. I wouldn't want to be around for that.

What happened with the Cardinals gig anyway? I got the impression when he left that he felt that it was a huge upgrade for him and he wasn't afraid to tell people that.

I don't think he had a gig with the Cardinals, unless I missed the news. He was third mic on the St. Louis sports talk station's (not KMOX) afternoon drive show. I think they fired him to make room for a guy who played for the Blues. I'd call regular hosting in a medium-sized market an upgrade over filling in sporadically in a major market, and he's from the Metro-East originally, anyway. [EDIT: then again, maybe it's not such an upgrade after all if your boss can easily replace you with a hockey player, considering hockey players are generally not celebrated for being dazzling rhetoricians.]

I was surprised when the Sox didn't keep him on when they changed flagships, if only to do webcasts or podcasts or some other form of content, just because they're such a job-for-life operation. 11 years of doing pre-post and they weren't sad to see him go?
