I think these guys have been on for the last nine consecutive hours. It seems like every time I've tuned in this afternoon and evening they've been on. Greg Gabriel is...meh, and Herb is like the least flattering combination of Jesse Rogers and Matt Abbattacola you can imagine. He doesn't sound especially intelligent and he's very inarticulate. He CANNOT pronounce "Greg Gabriel." I've heard him say "Greg Gra...Gabriel" at least three or four times.

I heard some of Connor McKnight and Jarret Payton this afternoon on WGN and they actually did a pretty good show. McKnight didn't sound as douchey as he usually does and Payton didn't sound like as much of a meathead spazz as he usually does.

I caught some of this while driving. It was weird and bad. Mitch and Zim don't give a shit about weekends. Don't want to pay what it would take to get a pro to do these shifts. That's why Shep and Herb get these. That's why drinky gets "Hit & Run". The ad rates for these shows are the same no matter who hosts. So give it to the dumb ass producers.

Mitch & Zim: :P

This was a horrible pairing. Gabriel isn't a radio host & Herb is...well....I have warmed up to him a little bit, but still...

I caught Herb's "update" around 9:20. Holy hell. He put Kerry Sayers to shame. I should "Ask Herb" if he's ever thought about a different profession.

The weekend Score is more likable than the weekday

This, I was driving home and could not believe how bad he was at updates or general thoughts. It was beyond fun bad and just plan bad. I felt bad for the guy. How do you spent that much time in a radio station and not be able to read an update.?

Herb seems like a likeable real dude.

But he just can't speak smoothly. He stutters too often.

I'm not sure it's improved either. He's had a segment on LoHo's show for at least a year right?

Yup. I have said for years that I prefer the bench warmers over the full time prime time Score guys.

He's a fun Facebook troll, except for the stupid tipping stance he has.

Jason Gotch and Jason McKie would be a huge upgrade to WSCR's weekend lineup. They had what was probably the best show on The Game.

What is his stance on tipping?

Well he is one of the "restaurants should pay them more" group which is slightly better than the "fuck you get a better job" types

Who was that one football guy that used to get a bunch of co-hosting gigs on the Score like five years ago? You know, the one guy? with the voice?

Wow. He's just an idiot. He's not even somebody to get mad at. You just feel sorry for him.

It would be awesome if Baffoe tweeted @Encerwal23 Because dan bernstein says so!

I hope he's just trolling. He does it a lot. He couldn't be that stupid. Could he?

Gotch is great. I'm a big fan.

Herb does not speak well when serving as an actual host. Stick to the background chirping and occasional snarky remark.
