Not only no Speigel, but no Julie on updates. I haven't heard mention of why Speigel is not there.

Al Jean is going to be on at noon. Why? I am not sure.

He was busy becoming all of the Neville Brothers last night.

Julie probably ate too many of those shitty donuts.

Rubin is sick. And it's Fat Tuesday, that should explain why DiCaro is absent.

The Al Jean thing goes hand in hand with the post I made yesterday about odd programming decisions. Why do I care what Al Jean thinks about sports? This isn't a national show. The NHL trade deadline is tomorrow, Bulls play tonight, Cubs/Sox are in S/T - isn't there plenty to fill 3 hours with things other than an entertainment guest?

And, I have finally realized that Parkins sounds like Daffy Duck if he had a 2 pack a day cig habit. Ssssssufferrrin' sssssuccotassssshhhhh. Yuk.

It's Fat Tuesday. Of course Big Red and Perp are off.

It's very strange that they don't call in a guest host with Parkins.

Post subject:  Re: 2/28: Parkins Solo

Parkins said he's solo when Speigel is off because he likes to work solo. He also said a lot of people wanted that job and then said something about interoffice politics. Does that mean the other people at the station are pissed at him for getting the job and won't work with him?

He said he is willing to work with anyone, but those are the reasons why he is solo when Speigel is gone but Speigel has a cohost when he's gone.

Everyone takes the same shot at DiCaro. Either we're all geniuses, douches, or genius douches.

It wouldn't surprise me if no one wanted to work with him. Maybe more so as a shot at Chunga than Parkins himself. There's a long list of guys who probably wanted that spot and got passed over. Plus, the fact that the guy isn't very good, isn't doing anything to win over an audience, and seems to HAVE to do things his own way or he can't function. With all those qualifiers, I wouldn't want to work with the prick either.

The show is OK but not great. He's not totally likable. Little arrogant without justification.

Parkins is OK. There are things I don't like about him but I don't find him as unlikable (yet...) as most of the other guys on the station. Solo, the show can be an option for me. With Speigel, it's usually not.

Well that's too fucking bad if that group of dipshits who don't have the collective intelligence to pop a balloon don't like him. It's their own fucking fault none of them were good enough to merit getting the full time hosting job and not be passed over. Point the thumb boys , not the finger .

So, you're going to tell me that sheer talent alone got this guy his job? BS. Politics, money, beefs, you name it probably factored into this hire. Actual merit probably factored into this very very little.

This guy is a turd in a punch bowl, he sticks out - doesn't fit in. Put every other Score host into a room with a hot mike and they would also all sound like they belonged together.

I'm not sold on Parkins but he was a better choice than anyone else.

Any person who won't work with him is an idiot.

Yeah awful , uninteresting and unprofessional . If Mitch thought they'd bring ratings and advertising dollars then they would've gotten the job. It's as simple as that .

I previously mentioned that I wonder if his lack of wanting a PT cohost angered those cut out of part time extra money.

So DiCaro refused to work with him? Is this over being passed over or loyalty to Larry?

Julie would work with Patrick Kane and Milo if it meant more air time. She's probably just not invited .

I think she had previously done updates when Parkins was working solo. I don't know why she was not there today.

Interesting.

Parkins really said Score people won't work with him cuz they're upset he got the gig over them?

That's bullshit. Petty little bitches.

Why doesn't Larry hate Goff? Larry has agreed to work with Goff. Goff is 5 or 6 years younger than Larry. Larry has been at the Score longer than Goff. Yet Goff got a day part show over Larry.

It's like when the Bears players pouted when management brought in Flutie because they knew Tomczak sucked and McMahon couldn't stay on the field.

Yeah. It's exactly like that. It's also like me pouting when I found out my buddy was using my hooker!!! But that's understandable.

Parkins pretty much said Laurence Holmes is jealous of him getting the job. It sounded like it was more than one person though that was bitter. Probably Matt Abbatacola also
