They actually both admitted that they were at least somewhat wrong about LaRussa on today's show as well.

Count me in the minority…I like Parkins and Speigel and still don’t like LaRussa.

No.1 in Chicago market for the summer. I am in the minority, I just have no desire to listen, but they are killing it.

Cannot say Cubs baseball for the Cubs suck and who listens to baseball anymore.

The best and most listened to show in Chicago. I guess not taking calls doesn't hurt their ratings.

Targeted demographic good ratings, and quality are two different things.

They don't run a bad show. It just doesn't interest me.

I will tune in for certain guests though

It's always amusing to read reviews of shows from guys that claim to only have ben flipping through channels...as if what they heard in those few minutes are an accurate reflection of the entire show.

That's why I just ignore the bad reviews and complaints. I listen to probably 1/2 to 3/4 of their content every week so when I hear people's opinions which are blatantly wrong, it is easy to ignore them. I get it- people don't like Parkins. He is a rather pampered millennial. He is cocky and really hasn't had to work hard throughout his life. He is not a man's man and he comes from money. He married a doctor IIRC and he is a liberal. It is easy to see why older folks who were reared on the 90s Score do not particularly like him especially considering how his show differs from what old school listeners prefer. But the reality is that he is an excellent sports talk show host. Just like EVERYONE, he makes wrong predictions, but that doesn't take away from the quality show that he and Spiegel run. Think I'll go listen to a podcast from yesterday's show.

it's not a bad show....it just doesn't do anything particularly funny. I'm in the minority that always liked Spiegs despite his self destructive tendencies, and Parkins is a good driver for the show. Nothing will ever be B&B again. It's good background noise and occasionally it's worth a strong listen.

It's Kapman and Hood for me in the mornings, nothing mid-days and some Park/Spieg in the afternoon. I get my fill of callers with K/H.

I think that's why Wanny's segments are so good. He doesn't take anything too seriously and just likes telling funny stories.

Heard a minute or two yesterday and got a scintillating break down of offensive philosophy from two guys that know absolutely nothing about football. Remember a segment last year where Mac pointed out the Bears O line was playing high and getting blown up, Parkins quickly began talking about point spreads.

That goof Murph used to say, "miss a little, miss a lot", for the score afternoon show it's, "listen a little, push the f'n button".

Wanny is among the very few guests that are entertaining.

AGreed. It's fine for what it is, but for me personally....I like to have a few laughs. That's long gone.

When McNeil declared that he didn't want to deviate from strictly sports talk, I stopped listening. Free form radio is what made the station. Not to mention the goofy commercials like for Luigi's of Hong Kong.
