Danny Parkins announced today he is leaving his afternoon drive show at 610 Sports Radio in Kansas City. The word on the street is Parkins is taking a role (likely as a M-F host in a TBD daypart) at 670 The Score or ESPN 1000.

Is he fat so we can call him Danny Porkins?

Was he the guy they had on as a guest host a few months back, seemingly at random? IIRC, that guest host wasnt too bad.

Yes, he hosted on ESPN 1000 once or twice around the holidays.

There was a guy from Kansas City who filled in for the Grobber a while back. Was that this guy too?

Here was a comment from a KC Chiefs message board:

"Good for him, hope he continues moving up.

However, I'm glad he's off 610. I stopped being able to listen to The Drive because of how often him and Carrington Harrison would take a liberal-biased splooge all over every single topic they talked about. The Drive would be better if they get someone else to at least stir the pot and create some critically-thoughtout discussion and a little disagreement,, instead of them just always explaining how they are right on every topic whether it's sports or politics (which they talked way too much about).

tl;dr: Parkins is an "everyone deserves a trophy even if they lose so they don't feel bad" kind of guy."

Don't know much about him, but there are overwhelmingly positive comments from people when he tweeted about his departure. That comment from the message board is probably more of an outlier.

Wow. Bernstein's new partner. So it's solved.

Cuz who would get fired at ESPN 1000? Not Kap. Not Silvy or Waddle. Carmen? Maybe. He is bad.

But I'll still say this is Bernstein's new boy!!!!!!!

if thats the case, the callers will hold him accountable and id be curious to see if Dan would immediately be in "Defend the New Guy" mode, or just let him find his way in the new pool

But if it was anybody at ESPN 1000, they'd have been fired by now. At least one would think. It sounds like he's hired, so why would ESPN management not have fired anybody by now?

Has to be Bernstein's new partner.

For The Score, the addition would be interesting and unexpected no matter who he gets paired with. For 1000, where there would have to be a lineup shuffle or a permanent addition in evenings (6P-10P), it would be a lower risk move but a new voice.

In either instance, a station would be giving a 30-year old host from Market No. 34 a giant opportunity.

I'm not sure how to read that. So Mac, Perkins, Jurko and Harry are coming to the SCORE? Who the hell is out?

Calling it right now: this is Spiegel's new partner. No way they would throw a new (white) guy, despite his alignment politically, with Bernstein.

Goff moves next to Dan, Spiegel gets a new partner, and 9 hours of daytime sports-talk programming in Chicago goes wall-to-wall regressive-progressivism.

Mac is congratulating an alum from the old MJH show and just tagging Jurko and Harry.

Dan McNeil ‏@DanMcNeil2017 1h1 hour ago
Dan McNeil Retweeted The Kansas City Star
Congratulations to Mac, @Jurko64 and @HeyTweetHarry alum @DannyParkins on new gig (though just a few of us know what it is) You'll kill it!

It looks like Mac is congratulating himself along with the other three. Weird.

You might be right. This guy seems like he would challenge Bernstein. Mitch doesn't want that. Giving Goff back to Bernstein would make more sense since Goff worships Bernstein and has become black Bernstein.

Cuz Mac got this info. He probably got it from Spiegel. Perkins to the SCORE seems 99% likely. Just of matter of which slot.

Because that story about a 3rd Chicago sports-talker said they got approval to build an antenna from the FCC. I doubt a station would hire talent before they even have a working transmitter.

That was the only real shame of Rogue One ... you've got Red and Gold squadrons in there for fan service, why not have Porkins be there kicking ass and taking names so he can save face from just going out like a bitch in ANH.

It would just be too coincidental with the open spot at the SCORE, Perkins leaving his KC station, and Mac knowing about it, that it wouldn't be Perkins to the SCORE.
