i reckon if zampillo were still producing the show they couldn't call him "count fagula" anymore, eh?

also i assume you're taking the piss, but hearing julie swieca on the radio would be a thing. you know there'd be at least 1-2 diehard deep breathing callers who would have to let her know how much they've missed her.

One could make the argument that Lou Cannelis is living, breathing (definitely not thinking) proof that Chicago will never be more than Cleveland on steroids, The speech impediment, the shiny child-sized suits... ugh.

Whenever I have the misfortune of seeing a Giangreco or Canellis on television, I often ponder how they have managed to remain entrenched in these jobs for so long. These guys were doing these fucking jobs when I was a child and now I'm a grown ass man in my 30s. Is sports "guy" so far off the radar at a television station that no one cares what the hell these guys do on a nightly basis? They give no information to the viewer that could not be obtained from a website hours before it is presented on television. Their personalities are dull and smarmy, their opinions devoid of substance, and their commentaries are laced with eighth grade level sarcasm. These stations could get similar talent for less money if they cared. It's not like Giangreco brings in ratings, though I'm sure he thinks he does.

This could apply to almost any local news sports guy in Chicago. They haven't all been around since we were wee lads like Methuselah Giangreco but they're all pretty smarmy and annoying. Currently Pat Tomasulo tops my punch-in-the-face wishlist.

Agree about Tomasulo. He is nothing but a literal chimpanzee in a suit. He looks, speaks, and acts like an ape.

You know who I'm not a big fan of? Tim Weigel's son. I remember when him and Holmes had a little tiff, and I found myself actually on Holmes' side of the argument.

Yeah, gotta say Weigel's in the wrong on this one. Pretty rude. I hope his THAT didn't get too SHAKEN.

Agree about Tomasulo. He is nothing but a literal chimpanzee in a suit. He looks, speaks, and acts like an ape.


Tomasulo, like Spiegs, misses his daytime job while performing at night. Tomasulo does stand up in the hopes of someday becoming a headliner. I laugh at him because he is not comfortable around guys who are bigger than him, funny, and snicker at Jersey boys.

We played Makray a couple weeks ago I picked cart #69, because I'm a child. Anyway, the starter comes up and says in his proudest voice, "you know, Rafer Weigel used this very same cart yesterday." I could only muster up a Les-like "ok...cool."

Hahaha. The best thing about the Grobber "Okay, cool" drop is imagining what anyone could possibly say that could be so mundane or inconsequential that Les fucking Grobstein is dismissive. You could tell Les you just farted and he'd come back with a story of the time he farted in the media room of the Hartford Civic Center.

At bears camp, Tomasulo made a point to "interview" a kid who was makin fart noises behind his back during the previous segment. The kid was maybe 9 or 10 and clearly uncomfortable on camera. Nothing like picking on small children to prove what a big man you are.

Perhaps the funnier thing about Tomasulo is that with kids he doesn't know how to deal with their impromptu behavior/heckling. He wants to say something but fears it will be inappropriate. That, and the fact that he isn't much bigger makes him come off somewhat comical, in a "you amuse me like a clown" aspect.
