Really? It is not that hard to understand this. Here is what he should have done given this chance:

1. Stop the fucking radio food tasting.
2. Stop the damn drafts.
3. Start working in more solid baseball talk, which is suppose to be his favorite sport.
4. Move away from the fart jokes and the usual Mac Hijinks.
5. No days off, or pretending to be a rock star and focus on slowly building the show into what you think it would be.
6. Subtle changes like the bumpers.
7. Drop the fucking parody songs.
8. Stop the fucking songs announcing each guest.
9. You have your own contacts from your time in the business, use them.

Shit man, I can go on, but it is not that hard to figure out what he should have done.


Good ideas. It's like you are 4th OF'er or a back-up on a football team....the 1st stringer goes down TWICE for extended periods of time and instead of taking the opportunity to at least give it your all and make the absolute most of your time as a starter you call in with a cold or a hangover or lollygag it.

Dan told him (and us) well in advance what his game plan was going to be this year. Matt, knowing he had contractual security should have devised a response to make mid days The Matt Spiegal Show. I would have insisted the station get me out on remotes. I would have booked myself for every weekend meet and greet available. I would have asked for some weekend shifts to get my name out there to less traditional audiences. I would have gotten my ass on every local TV show I could find. I would have definitely scheduled face time with every sponsor to assure them of continued quality shows. I would have had regular call ins to every other shift so that I could maximize exposure.


This just isn't the Score way anymore. All that hustling is for people beneath them.



And Leery over exposed himself and found out real quick how much people do not like him.

I think most people would have done the same to Spiegs. Overweight and condescending douche are not real enduring qualities to have.


I get by fine with them

Becoming likeable and good at his job would be a great way of grabbing the proverbial bull by the horns.

Continuing with the lists:
1. Condescension needs to go. Mmmm-hmmmm, *SIGH*, Talking down to guests
1a. Drop the smartest guy in the room ethos. Notice how stupid Bernstein sounds with that ethos? And yet he believes he's the smartest, funniest and caring guy in the room. He make listeners want to vomit.
2. Pay attention to the radio partner/guests. He drifts too often to go on Twitter, online etc.
3. Take charge of the show. Mac is gone and so Grimace is top dog. Rozner needs to be told to STFU with "Why do you hate McGowen bit", golf odds, Larry talking comics and other awful items.
3. Baseball - too easy. Should've had a HR Derby league like NSD had last year, fantasy baseball etc.
4. But don't be jealous of football. Baseball is his expertise but football is the moneymaker. Mackeyfish has a made a great living off football, guy talk and skating through the other 3 sports.
5. Find new guests. ZZ, Len, Ashburner don't need to be on every Score show.
6. The biggest issue though is he needs to have a fucking opinion. He's way too afraid to criticize. He's freaking soft serve cheerleading every team. The hardest he's gone on is the Miami Heat. Time to stop being a pussy and speak up.

I'd settle for him just finishing the pronunciation of words.

Such as when he'll say "yeah, a li'l bi...li'l bi..." when he wants to to say "a little bit".

He should have taken over the show. With Mac gone and technically out of his contract this is ostensibly the Spiegel show and yet he hasn't actually taken charge of it. Whoever guest hosts with Spiegs is pretty much allowed full control over the show's direction, including taking the lead on interviews.

Then there's the whole time-off situation. I'm not usually one to take a guy to task for using whaever time off he is granted by his employer but if you want to know how Spiegs could have taken more initiative, showing up everyday would be a good start. Again, this is ostensibly his show now, not a team thing. Spiegs is taking as much, if not more, time-off now as he did when he was Mac's sidekick. That's the biggest issue with Spiegs, he still actively seeks out the sidekick role, the role with less responsibility. That can't be acceptable for the only guy in the room with his name on the show. At the very least, he does not deserve praise for doing a piss poor job.

Robin Williams draft.

Abbatacola, Jay and Shep aren't fans of his movies. Can't go more than 2-3 deep. So Grimace still goes ahead with the draft so he can flex his Williams knowledge.

Dumbass.

Yeah, that was awful. If you're going to promote and bother doing a segment on sports radio about Robin Williams movies, at least do a segment where you can discuss the movies with someone who has seen them.

The guy has two bits, he has to get them in any way he can. It's not like they could have done a Robin Williams taste test.

It was generalizations that seemed to stem from dislike. The lists had actual suggestions, though. Like specific stuff.

Oh, ok. But still, I'll send you some flowers and a Get Well Soon card to make your stay in intensive care a bit more tolerable.
