As a fan of B & B, I'm both liking and disliking your proposal...is that possible?

If I was the boss of 670 "The SCORE", I'd actually pull the plug on "Stocks & Jocks with Dr. Jon Najarian" simply because he doesn't fit the sports talk format. "Mully & Hanley" should start at 5a, just like "Mike & Mike" do on ESPN Radio. Both shows should be over at 9a, with Laurence Holmes & Mike Murphy respectively hosting 3 hours apiece. Laurence would air at 9a, with "Murph" at 12Noon. "Boers & Bernstein" would then air 3-6p, and extended only to 6:30 or 7p whenever there's a White Sox game. Come September & October, depending in large part on whether the Sox are still in the pennant race and/or playoffs, "Chicago NFL Live" with Doug Buffone, "Bears' All Access" with Zach Zaidman, plus local shows with Brian "Whipping Boy" Paruch & "Last Call" with both Matt Abbatacola & Jason Goff filling out the 6-10p hours until Dan Patrick's tape delayed show airs. Paruch, Abbatacola, Goff, Buffone & Ed O'Bradovich will also be in the mix for local sports talk every weekend once Sox season ends.

Stocks & Jocks is paid programming and has a following with the traders.

Thanks for the info concerning "Stocks & Jocks" being a paid commercial program and being popular with traders. I'm not listening to my radio that early, and I apologize. Paid programs are rare on radio, but much more prominent on TV, especially late at night & after the crack of dawn.

If Matt and/or Goff are ready to work as permanent hosts, it is ridiculous to then say "but we can't because B&B need them as producers."

The days of Danny Mac filling in on Chet's show when Chet was gone... what if they would have said "Nah, Mac needs to stay as producer, or else the show will suffer."

I'm well aware of who the Grobber is, btw...whose question were you answering, SHARK?

Shark is pretending to be an announcer, I think. Perhaps he's channeling Ted Knight's character on "Mary Tyler Moore". I liked that guy

Well Shark, it's good that you're not pretending to be an announcer but your act is lame nonetheless. You shall henceforth be re-named "Captain Obvious."

How about thrilling us with another 5,000-word essay full of useless tidbits and a wide assortment of quotation marks? Apparently BigFan must be paying you based on word count.

The only difference is that Kid conducts this without summoning the saltier parts of his vocabulary.

Sorry, pal. "Captain Obvious" is already taken...I think Bob Brenly or Tim McCarver already have that honor...

As for "Bears' All Access," that's the one hour weekly show that's a collaboration between "The SCORE" & Chicago Bears Broadcasting during football season only. That's just one of the shows that'll be on in September when football season starts, and there won't be as many White Sox games at night.

Shark..

Stocks and Jocks is not a paid show. We find that a lot of financial people listen on the way into work...I will though consider your thoughts and think about making that time(5-6am) a true Chicago sports show.
