Caught the first hour today and it was much better without McKnight. Campbell sounded like McKnight without all the annoying voice inflections and searching for answers moments.

Why does everyone dislike M. Night ShameHe’sOn? Although it does seem like his show talks about numbers incessantly.

Parkins and Mac making fun of Bernstein and McKnight lusting over Sage Rosenfels was the best thing I heard last week.

With McKnight you can't really do the full transcription treatment like you could with Mully (a board classic), because he's not so much long-winded as heavy with the goddamned sighs, pauses, and overemphasis.

Hopefully this clip upload works, just an infuriating audio experience of a simple question. ("How has Edwin Diaz been in August?")

https://vocaroo.com/i/s0Mi2kiyQYI2

plus the smarmy station shout-out
plus calling him "Rane Randazzo"
plus getting 'starts' and 'relief appearances' confused

which is nitpicking but if you want to sound like the smartest guy in the room don't make simple mistakes

You’re right that McKnight’s awfulness doesn’t translate well a la Mully.

But yeah, McKnight’s double sighs that often preface his questions are wildly irritating

The boys were tripping all over themselves trying to ask the most intelligent question to their idol Theo today. Understandable that with Cubs games being the primary ratings driver for the station that they would go easy on Cub guests, but the interviewees must get bored listening to media guys trying to formulate questions that make them sound like they know more about developing players than the people that do it for a living.

I think these media guys forget that whatever metric that is available to them, the MLB team has something different, superior and private that they are using.

Checked out the intro to their show yesterday. Their cutesy little repartee about watching Mahomes and Watson was enough. I turned on music.

Just turn the station completely off. I have for about 6 months now.

Same. The station died when Boers' health went downhill and it's never coming back.

Just spent the first hour talking Bulls, and Connor really didn't bring much to the table. Even Rick Camp was bringing more to the table, and it wasn't food. Outside of Baseball, he really lacks any knowledge. Even his baseball info is lacking. When is his deal up, it's time for him to go.

I haven’t listened to this show since the summer. Has it gotten any better?

Post subject:  Re: McKnight is awful

I don't think so.

I listened to a segment with that Mooney cubs reporter dude, McKnight with his ridiculous speech inflections just continue, like emphasizing "this...Cubs convention" like they were previously talking about any other team. Jackass.

Who knows. If you find somebody from the couple dozen who do listen, let me know.

At least McKnight isn't an insufferable know-it-all like the chode that Mac is stuck with for drive-time. McKnight might even reach Carmen heights under Mac's tutelage.

McKnight has no personality. He just mimics Bernstein to fit the gayness of the show

Terrible take.

Mac and Parkins is the best show in Chicago.
