Would

her brother just passed away - said she hasn't been around due to attending to a family matter. the morning crew obviously didn't know, otherwise they wouldn't have given her the whole 'where've you been, haven't seen/heard from you a bit'. she picked up that they didn't know, no condolences - clear that she didn't want to talk about it, said she had a family matter to attend to.

Tuned in a few times during the year to listen to M & H and I always seem to catch the Stacey Dales segment.

She is absolutely brutal. Terrible thoughts.

She was asked about her thoughts on the hire of Waldron as the Bears OC

Basically, said it is a good hire because he is going to focus on fundamentals.

Jarrett Payton gets the life pass for being the son of sweetness. Even if he had something to say, which he doesn't, his style will put you to sleep. It's strange because he is pretty accomplished athletically, in comparison to other local sportscasters. He should have some insight. There's nothing there. His sister got all the personality. Seems like a nice guy and will probably be at WGN until he retires.

This morning she claims her favorite QBs from last year in the draft were Stroud and Richardson and when asked why she says it is their "presence"

She gets more brutal every time she comes on the air.

She was really, really impressed that Caleb Williams really wants to throw the ball and is a true quarterback.

She also said it is noteworthy that his foot speed changes if he is going to sprint or if he is going to lag.

I used to hate her segments, but now I just accept them for they are, Fun-Bad.
Today she was just reading off stats on blitz % by Houston, you could tell she didn't
really understand it, but just felt the need to rattle off stats. Also, her word/phrase
of the week was "Behind the sticks". The Bears and Caleb can't afford to be playing
"Behind the Sticks" Sunday in Indy.

Today she also gave us a "walking into a hornet's den."

Amazing.

I've done what I have not done in the entirety of my sports talk listening life - turned to ESPN 1000. Sadly, for the first time, WSCR has left me no choice (I admit I'm a creature of habit and need to hear some live local sports talk).

In any case, I fire it up a few mins ago and Mumblemouth and Waddle are talking about nothing, then begin teasing their next guest - STACEY DALES! In their teasing of how great she is, they talked up that SHE was the one who broke the news that Caleb was wearing a play-filled wristband. She hops on, in her monotone voice, and thanks them for having her on and just wanted to clarify that they have seen Caleb wear it before, so it being "news" was a bit taken out of context...lololol

Anyway, this may be my ignorance speaking but didn't there used to be an unspoken agreement that regular guests would choose one station or the other - or is that something that happens a lot (for instance, would I find KC Johnson or Biggs doing a hit on 1000)?

Connection issues this morning with her and had long moments of awkward silence and garbled chat. She never sounded better! They should make that part of her segment every week.
