Grote said she is out today because she is "resting" after doing the Sky game last night. She can't work the morning of a game that takes place in the evening, and then can't work the day following the game because she needs to rest. If her employer allows her to do that, fine.

To the average person/listener, though, it's tantamount to the media complaining about how far they have to park from the stadium or complaining about the food in the press box. It just sounds silly.

The food is terrible, and such small portions!

Fortunately, the Score's commitment to being "the radio home of the Chicago Sky" is only seven games, less than 25% of their schedule, so she won't miss that much of her profoundly captivating midday show.

Wow I had not heard that. Can't be there today either because of the Sky?

If Grote is on I will turn the show on. I had no desire to hear Harris try to ramble his way through driving a show again.

It's silly because it is. If she can that deal, great for her though.

Are they pushing Sky talk, that the Sky are getting more popular?

Look, when you have the opportunity to carry seven games from the team that repeatedly gets owned by Caitlin Clark, and you have the opportunity to have those games called by a woman who always sounds annoyed about having a head cold, you do what you have to do to make that happen.

where's your Friday show report? did they talk Sky in spite of your mailed-in magazine-letter-composed threats?

trigger warning: gender

Wait. The Score is the home of the Sky radio call?

Also, I am not threatening anyone. Please focus on something other than me. This forum will be will better for it.

And I ask you then to focus on something other than the midday show, not only will the forum be better but you won't get so upset all the time

Isn't this a place to focus on the midday show?

yes for sensible people, but BD's focus is unhealthy. He not only gets upset about it but then upset about what they might talk about too. Yet continues to listen. I've been told it's an infection, the woke mind virus...

He isn't here for the board. Nor should anybody else be here for the board. It's an alley you walk by and take a piss in. BD likes to piss in alleys. So what. Don't like it, call Seacrest. He'll come by with a bucket and spray and clean it up.

I happen to agree, BD was the one who invoked board health. I will continue to see him take these pisses and then call him a dumbass but not expect anything to come of it

Andersonville Community Radio is still waiting to get their license approved.

Very good question.

I give my opinions on the show and it's hosts. I almost always provide why I have my opinion. If someone doesn't agree with my opinion, that's fine. You have 2 choices - tell me why I'm wrong (it's normally better conversation if the person can attack the opinion, not the person) or don't respond and move on.

It's a sports radio board. I'm not going to spend my time on here fighting with other posters. In my opinion, not good for the board or brings any value to this board. If I get that upset over another person's opinion, go take a walk.

Yes, it is.

Asked, still unanswered.

Hey did you guys hear that Leila and Marshall are singing the 7th inning stretch at the Cubs game tonight!? If you haven't heard Im sure it will be mentioned 500 more times before the show ends.

Ramie Makhlouf was in today for Harris. Show was quite a bit better just with that change.

Did get tired of hearing about the 7th inning stretch.

Surprised Leila had time to do her regular show given that she is singing tonight. Marshall did not.

I believe they said that Marshall was resting for tonight's performance. Leila though was in and ready despite tonight's performance pending.

It's good advertising for the show. I'm sure we'll get to hear it tomorrow.

On today's show, the Caleb/father "controversy" came back up yet again. Leila feels strongly that he should be addressing this issue publicly. Last week, she did not like being questioned by the texters to the station and came across (to me) as very defensive/unlikeable vs. just realizing that not everyone has to agree and that actually makes a Bears topic, in May, slightly more interesting. On today's show, she came across more constructive in wanting to discuss the topic, but then went on to refer to Bears fans as naive for not getting why this matters so much and that the story isn't dead despite him playing for the Bears last season.

Progress in her approach, but no reason to suggest that people who don't agree with her don't understand. I think people just disagree. I tend to think that Caleb's actions ended the topic. He played for the Bears. I'm fine if they have questions for him, and don't care if he addresses it, but we know what he's going to say - he loves Chicago, this is where he wants to win, etc. I don't know what else anyone would think he say. In any case, I think she is a much better host when she doesn't sound like she's being defensive or taken aback by opposing of views. Also, probably should stop reading the text line or this message board if it upsets her so much - she still can't go long on the show without bringing up that not everyone likes her.

Heron told them best last week about this Caleb stuff and they could not refute him. This is not such a big deal that Caleb HAS to do anything. He told them in fact, they should get his dad to talk if they wanted so bad.

It was actually the co-host who called Bears fans naive, not Leila, though she didn't disagree and thinks that Bears fans are just very afraid to being wrong on another QB.

I thought her argument - that because Caleb isn't speaking on this topic, she's going to wonder if he's fully in on the Bears when he doesn't have a good game or make a key play - is questionable.

Since being drafted, Caleb has been as in publicly on the Bears as you could have hoped. We don't know the time of effort he puts into film study (we know he was watching film by himself last season) or other parts of his game and only know that Ben Johnson has spoken highly of his work ethic so far.

Besides her argument being poor (she then went on to say that's not what she was saying when she read a text questioning her view that Caleb may not be all-in), does Caleb really talking about how he loves Chicago and the Bears really going to change her opinion if she feels he may not be fully committed to Chicago? We know what Caleb will say when he eventually addresses this. It's just odd to me that he needs to say what will be obvious to everyone as some sort of relief/validation that he's on-board, all while ignoring his actions since being drafted.

The station is trying to have Bears content everyday. It's May. There just isn't much going on. I think the station (including this show) thought they had a hot topic that would drive conversation and they haven't come around to the fact that most people see this as a non-story because he just played a full season here and has only provided evidence of his excitement of being in Chicago since.
