I actually enjoy listening to these two. Although Hampton takes a little while to get his thoughts across; he must be suffering from concussion flashbacks.

Are these two guys going to replace Doug and OB as the Bears postgame team? Does anyone miss Doug and OB?

I like Hub a lot, but the thought of listening to Dan Hampton as the Bears expert for 20 weeks turns my stomach. He makes Mike North sound smooth.
If Mitch was smart he would pick up the phone & call Doug & OB immediatly.

I'd rather hear the raw emotion of Doug and OB than Hub Arkush drone on and on like he invented the leather helmet.

I'm sure CBS management would've love to do that when they're already paying Hampton. It's really easy to play PD when you don't consider financial impact. Did the finances of the radio business turn around in the few months since Doug & OB were cut loose?

I just don't get why you need ringmasters Doug & OB to orchestrate the meatball circus after Bears games.

Yeah, but your list would be Bernstein, Spiegel, Steve Stone, and the receptionist.

And stop buying the Dan Patrick show!

Zach, step into my office. Bears training camp starts in less than a week, but you're fired.

Schu? I'm going to need you to leave the Cubs press box immediately. Yeah, I know it's the 5th inning. You're fired.

Matt, I need to speak with you a minute. I know you've only been on the Mac show for about 2 months but, over your partner's wishes, I'm going to have to let you go now. Pack up your meat. We'll eat the remaining 10 months on your deal. Tell Hampton we're going to need to eat his money, too, and hire Doug & OB back so idiots can yell their nonsensical ideas at them after Bears game.

Is this Cowley at the Metrodome? Hey there. To be honest, I really don't like your work but management is glad we're saving money by using you rather than sending a reporter out on the road. But screw management. Your time is up with us. Did I mention Schuster and Zach have been fired, too?

Rodewald and Rosenbloom? Good morning. You're both fired even though you're cost-effective because you only paid by the shift. Steve, my boss likes to have writers on instead of producers, but I'm going to ignore his wishes and whack you anyway. Matt, you're cheap and pretty good at what you do, but get out of here.

My opinion of them is irrelevant. I was trying to point out the impracticality of playing "fantasy sports radio."

There is no doubt in my mind that Mitch regrets signing Hampton, annd that he would take Doug back in a minute. Smart companies always find a way to hire good people, & if Mitch needs to fire someone to rehire Doug, I could give him a list of 3 or 4 guys who should go.

Isn't that what we do here...play fantasy sports radio?

Yes, it is, but I'd like it to have more basis in fact than a "let's trade Brian Anderson and Clayton Richard for Roy Halladay" type trade idea. I think most of the personalities you listed suck, but I was trying to point out that a PD has a lot of limitations on what he/she can do. You don't believe Mitch thinks some of those guys suck, too?

ASFB, my guess is that a lot of the proposed North money has been used to make up for the shortfall in ad dollars. They hired Mac, Spiegel and Miska, too.
