SoI don't get how these guys are still on the air. Loyal listener base I guess?

Aren't they both still writing for newspapers? At least I get the impression that they are still credentialed media people and not merely radio hosts with 50,000 watts blasting their personal opinions to the world.

So I've been listening to the Score a lot over the past few weeks. Why does bigfan like this duo? Im not asking to start shit, I'm genuinely curious. Their show isn't informative and it's not entertaining. It's the only show between it, Mac's, and Bernstein's that I feel like I actually have to turn off as background noise because it's just that irritating(well, LoHo too, but thankfully he doesn't have his own day show). Mike and Mike are much better until they start repeating themselves. I don't get how these guys are still on the air. Loyal listener base I guess?

But they are bad on radio. After this long it's obvious, and being credentialed media members shouldn't mean anything. I'm pretty certain the majority of any two newspaper columnist combos in the city would be at least as good or better than M&H.

I find the show mildly entertaining.

Of course, I also enjoyed Mike North and Stocks and Jocks, so...

Why do you find it mildly entertaining? I'm not trying to argue, I'm curious. I have pretty low standards for sports radio(I like M&M, if that's any proof), I just don't see any appeal in the show. Their jokes are bad, their opinions are bad, they don't have a likable chemistry IMO like M&M. I just can't stand listening to the show for more than one segment at a time.

Speaking of credentialed media members, what about Zach and Hub together at last?

This can't be a serious suggestion. Don't make me bring Kid in here MD.

I like their dumb jokes...don't know why, but I do...the producer who does the Fugitive bits and Grobber impressions, that too...

I've always got a crack out of Mully when he gets too yelly...

It's more fun bad than anything.

To each there own, I guess...

It's just really awkward and odd radio. Fake laughs, forced laughs, weird interview questions and non-questions, a very stilted report between the two like they aren't in the same room....ugh, fucking horrible.

If ESPN wanted the morning slut, I mean slot to be theirs they could do it easily....these two clowns wouldn't offer much resistance to a competent show on another station.

I think certain hosts are better during certain hours of the day. When radio stations start shuffling their hosts like a deck of cards they find out that some hosts just can't handle working the other time slots because of audience demographics.

I don't they are great, but they have good guests and have good facts. Plus they have the best Bears info around.

SHARK and Mini Ditka conversing is like a guy with cataracts and glaucoma reading to a man who lost his sight in a war.

Funny thing is that the 'if ESPN wanted the time slot" is 180 degrees from the reason Mike North claims he lost to ESPN.

He claims you just couldn't fight them (ESPN)?

So much that say 1 of his interviews (or whatever he did) after the Score canned his ass, he had Greenie on so he had the guy who beat him agree with him!

(Just so some of you know Greenie used to be ZZ at WSCR!)

I don't they are great, but they have good guests and have good facts. Plus they have the best Bears info around.

Fact is the ratings are there and while some of those ratings are just WSCR listeners, M&H have beaten ESPN.

Not sure that anyone at WSCR expected it, just tried it out and the fact is , it worked.

I would tell ya that the ratings might not even reflect how good or bad, M&H are, but how bad Mike North was.

By far the worst hosts on the worst show on the Score...

You can dislike the way he laughs, etc but he has the info.

Okay, but who does that really benefit?

Does the average fan really care who broke the story? No. That's something for the writers to pat themselves on the back and brag about.

Mike Mulligan is a Tribune Reporter assigned to the Bears beat. Not the Larry type of , I will head up there when I want and talk to Peanut, but a guy that the Bears organization likes (As much as they can like a reporter) and when the Bears want something out in the public Mulligan is one of the guys who gets that information.

He has been on the Bears beat for close to 20 years. If was bad at it, he would not longer be doing it and the Tribune company would not have hired him to do the same job he had at the Sun Times.

Mulligan is the only guy who has the ability to call coaches and scouts in other towns to have them on the air because he is pretty well known in the NFL world.

I am not giving you opinion but fact.
