:shock:

I finally agree with a beardown post.

You guys say what you want but LoHo & Speigs broke real news today with the Hillenmeyer interview. Story made the Trib. It's nice that this show for once makes news because of an interview and not some guys issues.

Beardown, how come you don't ever go after Spiegel?

Gotta get somebody at the Score to go after Bernstein and be right, though. Speiegel isn't smart enough. I'll give you that. Spiegel goes after him cuz of an inferiority complex more than anything.

I've kind of moved to the Ivan position where he is comical. The problem is, I don't think anyone at the station is treating him like comic relief that he is. Mitch takes him seriously so everyone else has to...to his face.

I think the need for coaching for the Hyde Park Hand job was never more evident than the heavy promotion of the "film room" segment with Bowen yesterday. That works at 7 pm when you are dealing with a home bound audience, but at 10 am the majority of your audience are in cars or at work. They don't have the ability to watch streaming video of plays from the game. I am also not convinced that anybody outside of Bowen and Green Lantern care anyway. it immediately took me to 8 and made me want to punch my boss. Instead, I told a 15 minute story about my breakfast and went back to a 6. I then took a picture of Lake Michigan and went back to a 3. Then I went to the gym and saw a guy with a gallon milk jug of water and went back to 9 so I fantasized about punching people while using the treadmill. I was still quite short and inadequate.

There was one transition that probably set the stage for "spiegel vs. Bernstein". It was funny. These Score people are mean and unstable.

They were talking about weight control. I don't know how it came up. Bernstein said he and his wife have an agreement that "neither can be fat". And Spiegel took offense to that saying something like "you monitor everything your wife eats?" Bernstein said something like, "Yeah, who the hell wants to be married to a fat person?" Silent pause from Spiegel. You can feel him seething. He's a 300 + pounder. Obviously he's gonna take offense to that comment.

I also think fat jokes from drinky set off that "part timer" comment from Spiegel. I remember drink doing some fat jokes when Spiegel joined the Score. Probably out of resentment that drinky was passed over by an outsider.

Like I said, these Score people are some mean, petty, bitter SOBs.

Beardown, they dont tell him, because that's part of who he is. Same reason most of us dont tell co workers how fucked up we think they are
