I turn on the radio and these guys sound like the Hawks bus drove off the Mulholland-405 overpass and everybody died. Then I heard they just lost a game. What a bunch of ninnies. Then I get traffic updates every five minutes from Bonnie Green. Who the fuck listens to WSCR for traffic updates? GMAFB. Anyone who drives a lot already has instantaneous traffic info at their fingertips. What a waste of time.

This show is fucking terrible.

Just stop listening. It's a bad show, it has always been a bad show.

yesterday, they had some cubs prospect on. mully told him the story about said guy's batting cage at his home. dude said "yeah."

nice question asshole.

Mulligan is THE worst person on the radio with guests. There is nobody worse than Mully. The Stuttering public defender from My Cousin Vinny would conduct a better interview.

"So, you know, the White Sox. I mean, they had a good start to May, got to .500, and then just gave up. Now they have lost 8 in a row, and Adam Dunn needs to be cut, and they are never gonna win a game again. What do you think is going to happen with the Sox? Should they keep playing, should they just give up and not play the rest of the season? Do you start trading away guys, do you DRIVE ADAM DUNN'S ARSE TO THE AIRPORT! I mean what gives, what happens with this team, what is on the horizon for this team?"

And that is a short version of asking a question for Mully.

So, back when covering the Hawks we asked the Hawks coach, Craig Hartsburg, Hartsy, why they weren't playing this defensemen

When I get home tonight, I am going to transcribe his question to Wittenmeyer this morning.

Hanley plays off his partner. When its Mully there, Hanley screams more and makes unfunny jokes. When its Seacrest or somebody else, Hanley actually talks sports.

I totally agree with this.

Hanley can get it done when he isn't in "schtick mode," his schtick just so happens to occur when Mully is around. When Mully is absent Hanley is fine.

Mike and Mike, while certainly harboring its own flaws, is a very good alternative to this show.

I sent out a tweet that said something like "Why does it take Mulligan @mullyhanley 5 minutes to get his question out?". That was in regards to Mulligan with Gordon Wittenmeyer this morning. Terrible.

God, I caught a bit of this "show" this morning, and what an unmitigated disaster it is. A caller called in from Lake Zurich, and for some inexplicable reason, Mully thought it'd be funny to pronounce it Zur-itch. He did this multiple times, and then every time the caller was about to get started on his point, Mully would interrupt with another attempt at humor -a notably lame example being that he had a bank account in Zurich. Mully is the least funny thing in existence. Childhood cancer is a great deal more amusing that Mike Mulligan. It should actually be illegal for him to attempt humor.

Mully likes to answer the question he is "asking" himself. North used to do the same thing. And when the guy they're supposedly interviewing disagrees with the way Mully or North "answers" his own question, they get angry and start arguing about it. It's ridiculous. Mully did this recently with John Salley. If you're not going to let the guy answer the question, why even have him on? Why the fuck are you asking him?

Is this show's atrociousness indicative of a divide between sports "talkers" and sports "writers"? I don't hear Randazzo that much, but when I do I sense a smoothness that I don't hear at all from guys like Mulligan, Boers, and even Bernstein. But I assume 670 keeps guys like Mulligan because of his name and stature, even though he isn't a "talker" in the way a lesser known guy like Randazzo is. Is this at all somewhat accurate?

All I know is Mully needs decaf. He's not as irritating as Chris Berman, but real close...

Caught 15min or so this morning with Hanley and Seacrest. It wasn't too bad. Mully sucks. He needs to go. He brings the entire show down. He is the worst on AM sports talk in this town since Salisbury.

I caught a bit of it too, and yeah, the show is just far better if Mully isn't there. He really is the worst.

That was the report card in the Sun-Times during the Scores first years, Mac and B&B read it during their shows a year or two ago. Schtick is ok when it's balanced with actual sports discussion and a small part of the pie. With M&H it's front and center.
