I caught part of the Parkins/Spiegel show where Spiegs was lamenting the fact that they ever broke up the legendary Spiegel/Parkins show, how he and others got fired and how Parkins got stuck with a Dinosaur. It got me to thinking about how Goff bought the Range Rover and was feeling so cocky about himself before The Fall*.
To me, he is in the same category as Goff. He's easily replaceable. He's not very likeable and other than baseball, offers very little except generic sports talk. He certainly doesn't have the lifetime gig that he might think that he does.
Plus, shitting on Mac as a dinosaur isn't funny and doesn't across cool or edgy. Kicking someone when they're down isn't a challenge. That stuff almost always comes back to bite you.
So, where is Spiegel in 5 years?
1. Hosting the Spiegel and Goff drivetime show on The Score....having rid himself of that weak, cuttlefish Danny Parkins?
2. On wife number 5?
3. Hosting a weekend baseball show after being demoted yet again?
4. Still carrying Parkins dead ass from 2-6 and telling everyone about it?
5. Hosting Morning Drive as the 'Face of the Score'?
I don't mind Spiegel. He's better than he once was.
But I kind of agree with you. Spiegel acts like he's young. Christ, he's in his early 50s. Mac was in his early 60s. Yeah, a difference. But I don't think just being 10 years older makes you a dinosaur compared to Spiegel. Although Spiegel acts younger than he is. I'll say that. Part of that is not having kids until a late age and bouncing around with 3 marriages. He still has that hippy music thing going. Pot smoker, peace and love type of guy. Although a lot of that is a phony image that he wants to portray. But if you ever saw Spiegel walk, you'd think he was in his 70s.
Mully has to be pushing his 60s. Is Spiegel gonna say the same thing about his teammate?
Not to mention, Mac is the one that brought Spiegel back here a decade or so ago. He should be more grateful to him. Who knows where Spiegel would be without that gesture.
