A lot of soccer talk today. Or should I say football? Good to see Mully indulging his vanities.
But see this is the problem I have when some radio guy says that they cover the Cubs more than the Sox or devote hours to the Bears during June and July because "that's what the listeners demand". I'm pretty sure not many people are demanding soccer talk. So, don't crap me. Just say you talk about what you want and PTFB if you don't like it. At least bernstein will tell you to go fuck yourself if you don't like it as he babbles on about child rape for months.
I do think a sports radio station should give at least some coverage to the World Cup. It just seemed like there was an awful lot of it this morning. And I don't believe most WSCR listeners give a rat's ass about the transfer of Clint Dempsey to the Sounders. Wimbledon is important, but I don't hear Mac going on about strawberries and cream. Maybe Mully covers that too. Mully, you been talkin' about the queen again, on Independence Day?
Finally, was Mully supposed to be some big time footballer? Because I played on the best team in the Catholic League, hell, in the whole damn Chicago area, and I'm around the same age as he is. I think he's a Brother Rice guy. I never remember them giving us any trouble or having any standout players. I don't really remember playing them at all. I'm sure we must have steamrolled them like we steamrolled everyone else in the conference. The only tough Catholic League game I recall was against Quigley South. They had a couple of brothers I think were islanders, maybe Jamaican or Haitian. Those guys were tough. We played at their place, 7700 south or whatever, on a cold and rainy day. We were lucky to get away with a tie that day. A kid named Wally Chimiak tied it up late for us. The game was contentious and there were several near fights and some yellow cards. The final was 2-2.
Is that Mully in this picture, top row, third from right?
