Bring back Spiegel. This is my first time listening to this show for more than a few minutes. Spent 5+ minutes talking about a baseball video game, used fantasy baseball to talk about Ohtani. He just sucks in every way.

I for sure would prefer speigal or Grote. To borrow a Bernstein buzz word, McKnight is a replacement level talent.

Spiegel is bad, but so if McKnight. The Score really dropped the ball. Yes, both Goff and Spiegel deserved to be canned, but have a better plan in place. McKnight is bad and McNeil is already missing extended time, which they should have known from interviews conducted.

Is this the first time Spiegs has been on the air since his demotion?

This.

I think we are finished with the Spiegel experiment, but Grote might be a nice touch. Spiegel should just go and write a baseball blog and get really deep into it.

McKnight needs to go, though. Too vanilla. Sounds like a college TA filling in for the professor. Blah.

He hasn't ever said one thing that I find interesting or intuitive.

Yeah. Kind of interesting that Bernstein would put on a guy that he always fought with, but not his ex partner.

Spiegs producing tons of content. Damn he has some thoughts today.

Must be a little weird calling in as a guest during a timeslot in which you used to host a show.

Not as far away as the Goff ship sailed

He was also at Yak-zie's doing a baseball-themed parody of "Slide" by the Goo Goo Dolls.

Agreed. I keep trying to listen as I'm enjoying Dan, but McKnight is too rough of a listen.

McDoink is a really annoying host. He seems to always be trying out a really bad stand-up act.

There is no personality or substance to him. When radio finally transitions to computer programs talking with a human voice the software engineers will use McDoink as their source subject.

As a youngster I never cared for Yak Zies. But I got forced to go there during a few playoff games as one of the few places with available seating that would also let an underage kid sit down. I'd go back.

That's how I feel about Grote (especially during his Abbattacola-esque updates). During the course of a whole show he has a tendency to go to a manic, Bruce Wolf-like place.



Hard to argue with that.

Media problem in general. Pretty much all the Gawker/Vice/etc Brooklyn bloggers also do open mics and fancy themselves comedians.

But yeah, comedians doing a news bit =/= journalists doing comedy. I watched a video of Eve Peyser trying to do stand-up. It wasn't standard Brooklyn girl "uhhhhhhh I watch TV with my cat, uhhhhhhh, my vagina," it was worse.

mcdoink is usually doing a really really really bad variation of "what's the deal with xyz"

Maybe he'll try to do a Nick Mullen bit and be like "okay how about instead of Jason Heyward he's Jason N-Word" and then he'll immediately disappear forever.

They put Spiegel's ass on because he was a reporter live at Wrigley Field. It wasn't because Bernstein likes Spiegel more than Goff.

I guess that's gonna be part of Spiegel's role. He's gonna be a baseball reporter at the park.

And I guess they've got nothing for Goff. They should at least let Goff cover the NBA finals. Especially if it's Lebron vs the Warriors again.

Bernstein: We now go live to Cleveland where our very own Jason Goff is covering the NBA Finals. Jason, set the seen.

Goff: Lebron James is the greatest man to ever walk the face of the earth.

Bernstein: Anything else?

Goff: Nope.

Bernstein: Ok, that was Jason Goff live at the NBA Finals.

Good. God.

I made it until she said she was going to provide context to the love poem she was about to read...which I thought she already did when she said it was a love poem she wrote to her boyfriend whom she fell for in October.
