Spiegel informed us earlier that he was far too interested in the pulled pork samiches and other delicacies while sitting in his very fancy Gold Coast box tickets yesterday to pay attention to any details of the Sox game. And now he's telling Paul Sullivan how to be a better reporter and follow up more specifically on questions. Has he ever been any kind of beat reporter?

Add Paul Sullivan to the list of people that Spiegel thinks he is better than and can therefore enhance his life by simply counseling him. Maybe Paul Sullivan would be a better reporter if he could spend a week getting Spiegel his lunch and the important lessons learned from that activity.

Is it me or has his snarky, strangely arrogant style/side really been amped up the last few months? The first couple years of the show, when I listened, he seemed like a reasonably humble dude. I guess trouncing terrible "competition" and singing part time in a cover band has gotten to his enormous head.

Spiegel taking on Sullivan is just another media guy becoming a de facto publicist for Theo Epstein.

Reminds you of the Guillen years, doesnt it?

That talk about his son was nice but became rather icky.

Guillen really only had one full-time publicist in the media. Theo has more than a few.

That talk about his son was nice but became rather icky.

Wha' happen'?

Talked about how much fun they both have at swim class.

Then it turned into talk about the tootsie roll in his son's diaper.

I thought I remember someone posting on this board that the media and beat reporters in Chicago kept Ozzie's drinking quiet
