Ahhh,for the days of Bob Collins Monday morning interviews with Mike Ditka.

Those days flew the coop a long time ago.

I'd say that era crashed and burned.

It would appear that I find myself with considerably less incentive - aside from rote habit leading me there on occasion - to consume The Score in its entirety.

If it's not poorly thought-out opinoins to flat out fiat-like proclamations I'm generally at a loss for anything that remotely resembles interesting or entertaining radio.

To be sure, all good things must come to an end, but this end is being artificially hastened by a complete lack of good sense from far too many sources, a number of them that should definitely know better and either have succumbed to personal hubris or professional apathy.

It's too bad ... for everyone ... doubly so because it really shouldn't be as such.

(PS - keep the 'listen to ESPN' crap out of here .... they don't have anything remotely like what I'm looking for, which they never had in the first place)

Yeah, it sucks because it's been such a major part of my life since I was 18.

Radio or something else?

On Monday I had lunch at the Third Rail and Drinky was there doing scoreboard updates. There was one other non-Score employee patron at the place.

At the entrance there was some 670 paraphernalia including a huge stack of photos of Drinky and 5 Sharpie pens for autographs.

I'm with Bucky on the end of the obsession. I still listen in some of my free time. I used to listen ALL THE TIME.

NSJ, you ever listen to sports talk radio? I've never seen you post much in that regard.

Well, did you sign any of them for him?

"Hows 'bout you,darlin?"


I hated Bob Collins with a passion. I thought he was a 3 dollar bill phony. It was interesting when he died,I don't remember a lot of "miss him" quotes from WGN.

Seriously. Nonstop from M&H through B&B.

I used to listen up until the point the station went off the air every night but even in those days I wouldn't listen to whatever shit the score offered in the morning

Yes, albeit much less than 5 years ago.

I once posted 575 times in one evening regarding sports talk radio so I decided to cut back a bit.
