I agree that Spiegel is a skilled broadcaster. I don't know why everyone's so against the guy. Sure, he has some really annoying flaws, but name a Score personality of consequence who doesn't. In the grand scheme of things, I think he's pretty good at his job. I do like that the board's relationship with Spiegel is more or less the opening joke from Annie Hall, though.

You're selling Goff short, though, Beardown. If you're going to criticize him for anything, it should be that he's not yet 100% comfortable driving a show and can tend to retreat to off-peak-hour tropes like "hey if you wanna talk about something, anything, hey, give us a call, the lines are open," which sounds normal on a Saturday night but kind of panicky in drive time. Haven't heard that lately, to his credit, but then I haven't heard him drive a show in lieu of Spiegel-via-Mac or Bernstein lately.
