I don't understand how people can prefer Finfer to Spiegs. Spiegs is so much more entertaining to listen to.

I didn't say that at all, but nice try. I would guess a higher percentage of listeners like them than this board would represent. Maybe not. Just my take. We are the harshest of critics. We also are the loudest supporters if we find someone we like. My point is if I'm Speigel and I read the same shit here everyday, what's the point of continuing to come back. Tons and tons of personal attacks, few constructive criticisms. Like I said, maybe check it out once a month and see what people like and don't. It's one outlet to get a feel for things. Also, a lot of our criticisms can just be personal preference. This isn't like solving a math problem where there's only one answer. This board gets a little too high and mighty about how it important it perceives itself to be.

I'm just giving a view of how I see it. Doesn't mean I'm right. Doesn't mean I support or hate Speigel/Finfer/etc.


Well said WR. I knew there was a reason I liked you as a poster. :D

Nancy boy maybe, but he's not a train wreck in the least.

i think speigs is intelligent but he just isnt tune-in radio. not for sports at least. he would be amazing for a food talk radio station... has anyone done that before? they do make widescreen tv shows now too, maybe he could replace paula deen. i dont know, hes just not a good prick, and you need to be to be a host in sports radio. even in mac's case, when hes being a dick is when hes hilarious. when speigs tries to play hardball, you can hear his inner bullied kid come out as he shudders into ptfb radio. mac, bernsie, north... none of those guys had a problem throwing fastballs and taking the heat when they got one right back in their face.

The board tends to get it right.
When they turned on North, it was bad, real bad, and he was gone as soon as the contract was up.
They turned on Tiny... gone.
They turned on Hamp, and Uncle Rico... gone, gone.

But WSCR wanted him to stay.

They wanted him to stay like the Bears wanted Urlacher to stay.

In fact, let's look again:

* North left on his own volition.
* I know some of you loved MJH back in the day, but mostly because of Mac & Jurko. The rest of us, including most of you couldn't stand Harry....and he hung on 'til last year.
* I'll give ya Hampton
* Rico doesn't count. Anybody listening to him was an idiot in the first place.
* Most everybody thought Carmen & Silvy was great but they were broken up.
* Score is Doomed thought the Score was doomed for 8 years now, but it thrives on. SID is also J. Hood for those that didn't know.
* Most people love(d) Hoodie but he was launched. (He sucks as SID though)
* The far greater majority has hated Laurence forever, yet he marches on.
* 3 people here like Mully/Handjob, yet they pull in the highest ratings and continue on.

I could go on, but I gotta run.


Also tons of hate for B&B here, but for sports talk radio, they are doing fine in ratings. The things that get bitched about here on a daily basis are most likely not everything the everyday listener is bitching about. A big part of my point was in regards to why should any host give a shit about this place since for some people it is filled with personal attacks on an almost daily basis.

Two wrongs don't make a right but B&B's show is built upon hit & run personal attacks. CSFMB is only trying to speak their language.

I've only been here little over a year but the few times the personalities have logged in people seem to be fair. Seems like the hosts prefer to not hear about their obvious flaws or any constructive criticism.

Hampton was bad but the return of Danny Mac is what bumped him from a daily shift. D-Mac is also the reason for Carmen no longer being with Silvy. Hood got launched for not knowing his place (right or wrong).

CBS wants to own their intellectual property, so any written thoughts (>140 letters) they want on their craptastic web sites.

The boards (past &present) have always served as feedback, indirectly. This is the arena for the nothing good to say crowd.

Keeping Score is swinging and missing on every thing in this thread.

Fucking sad and pathetic.

This is the type of thinking that drives me crazy. Someone can choose to listen to a show and actually enjoy it. It doesn't make them a sycophant. Perhaps they just aren't as negative.
