Interesting that Dan even has the enthusiasm to drive a show again, but maybe it wasn't his choice

Harris seems good to me in their pairing last week. He's not immediately offensive to the ears, anyway, and doesn't have the built-in baggage with Bernstein like Holmes or Goff. I don't have an assessment about his sports thoughts. Kind of fascinating that he's not a local guy, Dan will continue to evolve and talk about College Football more I guess

Very small sample size but i liked what I heard from Harris. It is nice to have someone outside of the usual guys. I think it may breathe some life into Bernsie for awhile.

Curious if Grote was even considered or wanted job. He always seems to get passed over.

This pairing will become very tiresome very quickly.

The Score needs to pull the plug on Bernstein already.

Just saying. Beardown will be pissed because Marshall won't do much to invoke a lot of hate.

Beardown has no race. He just has a relationship with Goff, like sincalypse.

My concern is that he's not local. He was at channel 2 most recently, but he's a town to town, up and down the dial guy. It's a move toward more generalized Sports Audio Content. It's not that he'll do poorly, I'm sure he'll do a great job talking to Florio or Anthony Herron or some gambling psycho, but it's just a different station now and I guess we have to accept that.

I don't need gatekeeping to the shared historical misery of these teams

from what i gathered from his guest spots, since he didn't grow up in a major pro sports market he actually adopted the White Sox as his favorite team (Birmingham Barons, Frank Thomas at Auburn). Dunno his football allegiances, everyone forgave Parkins for being a Chiefs fan right? :wink: And the Bulls don't deserve emotionally-tied local fans.

Only listening to a bit (since I find Bears talk boring) and already heard Harris clap (or maybe pound) talk... Didn't care for that!

Also he misused a word saying "glutton of position players" which probably gave Bernstein an eye twitch

But I liked his Cubs thoughts and they seem to have good chemistry so far

His Cubs thoughts were sensible. They don't need to win 100+ games to make the playoffs, this isn't 1990. 12 teams make the playoffs, they should be one of them much more often than they are.

I don't know that I agree with them the Cubs should have a Dodgers budget and there should be no limit on spending. That's just not realistic. Cubs have a #7 payroll. That should be enough to win, and I have no argument that it shouldn't/couldn't go higher, but even the Yankees have slightly reigned in their spending (still at very high levels). Of course, the Cubs could spend at Dodgers level, but it's also a business.

They destroyed a neighborhood with the promise that the wealth its grotesque replacement would produce would be invested into the baseball team. Now, the baseball team stands alone as an entity having to justify itself. Ersatz Wrigleyville is a separate monster with the Ricketts Landholding Corporation as its caretaker.

I also remember when they created their own secondhand ticket broker to sell tickets at market price and argued it was a completely separate entity from the team so they could avoid revenue sharing.

The Ricketts purchase of the team was always a 99% real estate play from day 1. Winning in 2016 was a pleasant surprise and it gave him enough income to keep on buying real estate, and 2020 helped. I was shocked when I went to a game when I was in town in 2021, I walked to the stadium down Sheffield from Irving Park, and didn't see the buildup until I got to Addison.

He will eventually sell the team once he owns most of the two square miles around Wrigley. But White Sox fans should remember that all this has happened because Jerry Reinsdorf didn't want Mark Cuban in Chicago making his life difficult.

Interesting take, but I didn't consider Wrigleyville to be some gem of a neighborhood before the Ricketts bought the team. At the very least, that Clark Street corridor was always a bit rundown and seedy as compared to other commercial corridors in the area, like Southport.

Is your argument that the should be spending at/above where the Dodgers are?

Have they destroyed the neighborhood? How? I haven't heard Wrigleyville be described as being destroyed by the Cubs so curious as to why you feel that way.
