I listened to two segments of the brand spanking new McNeil and Parsons show today, the first day of the show.

So the Score was looking to shake things up and instead went pretty blah. It could have tried something new, like adding a woman's perspective or reached out to other voices (geez, when will a gay man be on sports radio) or other sports (as world soccer grows, sports talkers will eventually have to talk about it) but instead we get three guys named Dan. Wow, it's middle school all over again. And yet...the Score is still better than ESPN Radio.

I can hear some of white dudes now, "but Laurence Holmes is still there (or is it 'dare?')!" and that is true.

...seems Goff got under a lot of white guys skin. All I can say to that is...good!

He is taking the place of someone, that I didn't realize, was quite polarizing. After reading some of the comments* breaking the new line up, seems Goff got under a lot of white guys skin. All I can say to that is...good! In my listening to Bernstein and Goff, I never found the discussion of race out of place. Granted, I don't think the discussion of race is out of place, like, ever. We need to discuss race more, not less.

Basically it's your dad on the radio, if you're dad is in his late seventies and prone to trotting out cliches and outdated ideas.

Speaking of limited rolls, it's a shame the Score didn't do something truly unique, promote/hire a full-time woman. I can hear the white bros howling now, but it's too bad the Score didn't give Julie DiCaro a shot at a show.

 They are about as fresh and exciting as a 1975 Chrysler LeBaron

I have a rule about reading comments: I only go as far as the first racist/sexist/homophobic comment. I usually don't get too far. In this case I think I made it 4 or 5.

Between Cubs baseball, Bulls basketball, DePaul basketball and Illini basketball, Holmes's time is severely truncated. For all of his talent and new approaches, he is in a pretty limited roll.

The Spiegel and Parkins show seemed far too schticky for me; parody songs, over-produced segments, desperate attempts for laughs, just didn't do it for me. Parkins also shares quite a bit about his gambling which for my money (HA!) is about as riveting as the crop report

It's "roles," but I don't think hers are limited.

Follows complaint about schticky, desperate attempt for laughs with schtick desperate attempt for laugh.

That article is like 3 months old.

Still relevant however. Aging like a bottle of "two buck chuck"

Great work random writer guy!
