He doesnt even look real. He seems to have a normal head and then his body is just a huge blob. It's like he is a regular guy wearing one of those sumo suits...

Hank, not sure how familiar you are with high school football in the NW Indiana region but he is shaped a lot like former Valpo coach Mark Hoffman used to be!

I don't have an issue with his weight or music. It's his showmanship. Like he was dancing to get focus on him while he isn't singing. He does it in other vids or looks through a clipboard. He seems like a jerk

Lotsa agreement

I dont dislike Tributo at all. I actually think they are almost too good. They replicate the bands they 'Tribute" really well. I just prefer my cover bands to have a little more Dan Bandish thing going on!

These guys all seem to have really impressive chops. Why, then, can't they spring for a better youtube presence than tinny, shaky cell phone videos? Do they not want to give away the product?

This bloviating insecure assclown showed up on Chicago Tonight's Week in Review yesterday. Again. He's running neck and neck with Jim Litke for worst facial hair on a Chicago sports expert who appears on Chicago Tonight.

The band actually sounds good, so does Matt in the few youtube videos I watched. However, Spiegs looks like Grimmace or Barney the dinosaur. Oddly proportioned, weird stage presence lol

Tributo is just a cover band, no more no less. Probably pretty good. Darkstar orchestra is the best cover band I have seen.

How in the Hell does Candy get on Chicago Tonight? And why would they want him on the show?

Anyone see Spiegs lose his shit on a fellow twitterer who stole Spiegel's content? Check out his feed from last night.

Hey @sportsnutStu, Stuart Pollack, don't try to work anywhere I'm ever employed. Or where a boss knows me. The reference will be bad.


Spiegel is blacklisting someone from all radio because they guy used the same tweet on twitter. Spiegs is a sad human being.

Oh, and just for the record, this person who Spiegel is personally going to give a bad reference to, managed a car wash, and now sells hearing aids.

You show how important you are Spiegel! He's going to have a hell of a time ever getting a job with CBS Chicago.

Candy's rage is especially amusing given how frequently he's tried to pass off thoughts Bernstein has tweeted as his own.

He lives in KC too. So not sure he'll be looking for media jobs in Chicago


Also Spiegs justified this terrible overreaction by comparing himself to Patton Oswalt



He has less self awareness than Laurence


Oh and the tweet "Crawford coming to Toews aid might end up being one of the indelible images of the playoffs" is nothing earth shattering

Candyman got his panties in a bunch over that "profound" thought? Crawford hugging a guy in a 4-1 game? Fucking idiot.

Agreed. Spiegel is the Rosetta Stone of comedic material. There is a plethora of material to crack wise about. Don't take the lazy route with the fat jokes. You guys and Spaulding are way better than that.

Here is the link from WTTW show last Friday. Spiegs on sports from the 20:45 minute mark on. He discusses hockey some and finds himself in what I believed to be a little hot water from the 25 minute mark onward. You be the judge.

Did Detroit give the Hawks all they wanted because Babcock is smart or because hockey is random? Curious Hair? Hockey Gay?

There wasn't enough time for him to really get called out about it, But Laura Washington and Dumke were definitely side-eyeing him. Weisman threw him a life preserver.

That's how fucking stupid Spiegel is. bernstein is smart enough to know that he can't use his regular race-baiting shock radio persona when he is in the grown-up world of something like WTTW.

Babcock is smart. He zigged when the Hawks thought he'd zag and had a finesse/possession team committing near-constant interference and obstruction, which neutralized the Hawks' top six and pretty much left everyone not knowing what to do for a while. There was some randomness as there always is, but Babs is a very good coach with very good players (just not on the blue line anymore).
