Post subject:  Rank Chicago's Radio Shows

I've had new work hours the past week or so, so unfortunately I've sampled more Mully and Hanley in the last week then I have the last several years. With the decline of B&B, I've heard people mention M&H being possibly the best show now. That is decidedly not true. To me, they are still significantly worse than even Spiegel and Goff, which is pretty bad. At least have Spiegel and Goff have a personality, even if it's a bad one. I can't really rank M&H higher than Mike and Mike. It's that bad.

1. Boers and Bernstein*
2. Spiegel and Goff
3. All the mid day and afternoon ESPN1000 shows, I'm assuming. Literally never listen to that station after 9 am.
4. Laurence Holmes
5. Julie DiCaro shows on Saturday with the building janitor
6. Tie for last place between M&H and Mike and Mike.

*show drops 5 spots in the ranking when Rozner fills in


But yeah, all these shows are awful. The medium is fucked in this town.

1. B&B

2. N/A

There is no other radio show worth listening to in Chicago.

Goff + replacement level host would be my #2 but we don't have that yet.

Nothing else is worth listening.

1. B & B

4. Hit & Run
5. Any weekend Bernstein wannabe
6. Goff & Spiegel

From M & M to Carmen to Kap to Waddle, they are trotting out the "Hall of Fame Smarmy" team.

They're like Bernstein without the pointless yelling at callers.

ESPN's best host by far is J-Hood, and he has to suck a ton of dick just to get a few hours a week on the air.

I think Holmes is currently the best guy on the Score by far, but that's due in part to the fact that everything else on the station is abysmal. I haven't listened to ESPN in quite a while, so I have nothing to report on that front.

A "Tallest Midget" award, for sure.

B&B is the only decent thing and more often than not, it sucks as well.

Nothing on ESPN is good

I would put them at 1, with B&B at 2 (depending GREATLY on who is sitting in for B #1 on any given day). Hood and JD is my favorite pairing. Seems like they're together more when it's not football time.

This.

The only shows that I barely listen to are B and B, and Spiegel and Goff. Occasionally, I will listen to Les if I can't sleep. A few minutes of that show usually does the trick.

Some people like vanilla. Nothing wrong with that but they are vanilla covered in shit sauce. That makes things much worse.

Yup. Waddle and Silvy is radio for folks who find Mully and Hanley to be too edgy.

I enjoy intelligent sports discussions. Not edgy for the sake of being edgy. And I'm not sure saying dumb shit or shouting over callers should be considered edgy.

This.

If you're not listening to XM you should start immediately. Well worth whatever it costs considering the alternative. I haven't listened to AM radio in over 5 years and don't miss it one bit.
