Lets take a trip down memory lane. When this show first started this board was there for Spiegal to embrace. He did with those first few posts that have been quoted lately. Also, when Scorehead was ripping him daily in the begginning he had many, many defenders. In fact if you go back and read the threads around the time ths show was announced, a lot of it was positive. He had a built in ALS (Good Dolphin and the Danny Mac ALSers were ready to jump on) Since then he's been ripped, like all hosts, for a variety of reasons. Some legit, some not. But then he oddly chooses Rick's post, which was a legitimate constructive criticism, to lash out at the board. Tired of reading about his days off, I suppose. But then he gets hammered on here through YourMom and he addresses it on air several times? Thats wise. Then, he reads Irish Boy's review, which was less than scathing. (Personally if I were Matt, my response would have been: I went to the game to report got what I needed and left.) and responds to that on air I just dont see the logic in any of these moves. There are a myriad of options for hosts to address this board: Ignore Read and dont respond Read and respond like once a year Read and respond often Threaten Legal action All those make sense. Nothing Spiegal has done seems logical, to me at least. Have a good show boys! (Although, I think Terry's peeps is spectacular! I dont do show previews. I feel like radio shows dont need previews and are better consumed FRESH) |

He can't stop lurking either. Take a look at the current users browsing each topic you visit throughout the day. I rarely see any guests in most topics. Every topic about him though always has 1 or 2 guests it seems. |

All he has to do is Man up and post here. The power of a host coming here and the 'points' it gives him with the board are HUGE. |

The power of a host coming here and the 'points' it gives him with the board are HUGE. I'd agree with this line of thinking. He can definitely come on here and start some constructive conversations regarding improving the show or sports in general. I just don't see him being able to ingore the asshats that will swarm and try to start something with him. He has his own moniker, he just needs to sack up and come out here. I think almost everyone who posts here regularly has had to go through a short period of hazing. I don't get to listen to the show much yet, but an occasional visit from Meat would be nice. |

If the search function worked, I'd go find Hoffy's review of the remote at a dealership in Crystal Lake. I think it went along the lines of "I drove by, and there was no one there. I almost felt bad enough to stop, but I was hungry so I went home instead" |

Spiegel has met a boatload of us in person.....We are the bunch that flunked the Barney the Dinosaur sensitivity class.....HE'S IN A DAMNED JOB WHERE HE IS GOING TO BE RIPPED BY SOMEBODY....He's in a job where he is supposed to have opinions...GUESS WHAT....not everybody is going to agree and you can't pack up the mic and go home. If Matt refuses to see the evil sense of humor in most of us, maybe he's not trying!!!!!!!

I agree RPB. When the show first started I was more than happy to give Speigs time to grow as a host. He hasn't. He has actually regressed. At the beginning, he was more willing to disagree with Mac, whereas now he has become more sycophantic. I don't care that he takes days off. It's an easier listen with Mac and Goff. |

Oh it is deliciously clear that this board gets under his skin and he just can't stand it knowing that we're here... gasp... critiquing him in a manner not unlike how he criticizes coaches, AD's, and players. He can dish it but he is really bad at taking it. That's the worst kind of quality in his business. And it makes for grand entertainment. Remember how North wanted to sue a board member? That was entertaining for everyone (Except the target of the suit). |

If you're going to do it, make sure you get to the UCLA/Villanova game before the first half is over. Do they talk about sports on this show? |
