They should do it here.

Where else are you going to find a bunch of fanatical people about sports AND radio? There's probably 15-20 guys here that have enough knowledge of sports and humor that, of that group, there has to be 3 or 4 that could translate that onto the radio and with some polish do a pretty good show.

Sure, but who wants to take a pay cut to work at the Score?

They haven't developed a game changer since Bernstein and that's going on 15 years now.

I don't get why the Score is so insular and can't poach a credible host from a smaller market. I guess it's just cheaper this way, or maybe the audience wouldn't accept someone who isn't 'chicago tough'.

I think The Goff should get his own shot eventually, but I'm get less optimistic about it being a success the more I hear. And the evenings are pretty much locked up by LoHo now, right?

Are you honestly saying that ANOTHER f'd out "Score Search" is the answer? Really? I know you're a respected, long-time, dude...but c'mon. That produced the whiney-voiced McKnight and some lady......so, somehow removing the "some background education/experience" part of that formula will IMPROVE the "wasteland" that is Chicago sports radio? Meh. Nay, double meh.

It really is an annoying part of this business that those aspiring to get on mic "must" first pay their dues via producing etc .... I actually REALLY respect a "producer" that does just that, produce and stay behind the scenes. But I know most here just LOVE when people chime in from the other side of the glass

There is not a damned thing wrong with people who are bull shitters.

It's one thing to listen to your employees & to consider their suggestions, but it was a big mistake for Mitch to fire Murph because Terry hated him, when Murph was the highest rated & most listened to show on the Score, & to let Mac choose Spiegel as his co-host. The Score has lost its personality, character, & connection to sports fans.
Mitch needs to grow a set & make the necessary changes regardless of what Terry, Dan, or Mac think.

He's the biggest CockFuck I ever meet.

From what I remember Steve didn't appreciate Murph interrupting him constantly. Every week when Stoney would be on Murph would basically try to show that he was just as smart as Steve...Steve asked to not be on with Murph anymore. He wasn't going to sign last year, if he had to go on with Murph...that expert doesn't like to be interrupted by the Manbitch.

I would say it is a little bit of both, one i was being a team player and another is that maybe I wanted to believe that Murph was trying to help me. At that time I probably believed it but things can change and they did. For the most part, I was either naive or just flat out dumb but I thought Murph really tried to help me. It wasn't until about the last year that I was with him that I realized what a Cockfuck he was. (By the way that is a term I made up to describe a man that is a cock and dumbfuck at the same time). I remember asking Jay Goff to be nice and not play all those drops. I would also defend his ass when everyone was making fun of Murph.

That all changed four days after Easter in 2007. Our relationship before that wasn't great, but I never thought it was bad. I figured I did a good job and that it was appreciated at the very least, but Murph can't appreciate anything. The reason I know the date so well is b/c it happened on a Thursday with Stone in the Studio. I had also just came back to work after being off Thursday and Friday of the previous week. Easter was that Sunday. That Easter was a little different for me, as I spent it in the hosipital. On Wednesday before Easter, my father got Meningitis and we didn't know if he was going to make it. He did waking up on that Sunday but it was a pretty tough week for me none the less.


So Stoney is on for the first hour and I forgot to turn on his mic to start things. (Honestly I never was great at turning on mics) The interview finishes and Mitch comes in studio to ask Murph how the interview went. The talkback button was stuck, so I could hear their whole conversation and well it wasn't very flattering to me. Murph went on a bitch fest of how I didn't have Stoney's Mic on for the first segment. The man talked shit about me for about 3 minutes and nothing else. How I was doing a bad job, didn't pay attention and blah blah blah.

I couldn't believe it and I just snapped. I waited to the show ended but didn't even bother listening to that bitch. I did nothing for the last hour and even had my head down like I was sleeping. A few days earlier, he played all concerned about my father and then when he thinks Im not listening he is telling my boss how bad I am at my job. Fuck him. He tried to be nice as I was leaving and said "Hey Cy, what we got going on tommorrow" I told him he would figure it out and how he shouldn't trash people with the mic on. Then I heard him say something and I went back at him, but Murph didn't say nothing and I went home. From that point on I felt that Murph was a Cockfuck.

Needless to say, I worked with Murph until January 2008 and not once did he offer any kind words about my father. Nothing when he knew damn well what my family was going through. Instead he did everything to get me off his show. So screw him, he's a Cockfuck.

As far as being a team player at the Score, I really hated myself for being that guy. My only motivation was that I really wanted to be on the air at the Score, so I would do anything for that goal. That meant saying things that I thought Mitch and Paul would like to hear. Sorry about that and as you can see I dont give damn anymore.

damn, if that really is producer cy, then i dont like murph anymore

I would cover for SHARK, Drop In, Dave in Champaign, my Mom, and Urlacher's Missing Neck. After that, the list gets pretty thin. There are a few people about whom I would definitely fabricate charges.

The Score needs something different. You won't find different at Medill. They aspire to be exactly the same in order to eventually fit in at ESPN.

The short term fix, in my opinion is sitting over at ESPN 1000 doing part time evenings. Hood has a bit of the old time Score in him while being full of the knowledge preferred by the new Score. He is the one to bring the Score back into balance.

Sir, well Sir will usher in the postmodern age of the Score: hostile and nerdy
