This was the prefect opportunity to give Matty a hosting job and they passed him up for a guy who literally just came off the Bears. It's not the first time they've pulled chit like this either.

If I were him, I'd jump ship.

WHERE.IS.HE.GOING.TO.GO?

RED ROBIN!

Don't take it personally.

It was a bad decision to hire Mannelly. It was a good decision not to hire drinky.

_________________

He makes more than unemployment will pay.
He's a dumbass and has proven it over and over again when he has been on the air.
He should pursue another career, because radio stations aren't going to hire this assbag.

Jump ship where? If the station that he' been at for 13 years thinks he sucks, why would another station want him? THE GAME hired Finfer and Connor over drinky. And drinky has been on the seen longer than those guys. Christ, nobody in Chicago wants Goff either. Bernstein's soldiers are considered toxic outside of the Score. It's a fact.

So, yeah, he can jump ship, but nobody is throwing him a life boat.

I think he should leave for sure. Don't care where he goes. Just go.

Boom post of the year. By the way fuck you Mitch. You lost a lot of listeners yesterday.

At this point he could probably go be a PD for a station in a smaller market, but I doubt he wants to leave Chicago.

Matty is a good guy & he knows where he stands at The Score. He knows that he wont land a prime time on air gig, & maybe he's ok with that?

Yeah he should. Titanic gif.

I don't understand the hate for drinky. He seems like a nice guy who occasionally gets himself off track a little

I have no idea if @battaacolla is a good guy or not..I don't care either . He absolutely sucks as a host n kills every bit he chimes in on ..he's brutal ...he shouldn't be allowed within 10' of any mics.

_________________

I don't hate him. But I do think he is the worst radio host of any of the names mentioned. Worse than Mannelly.

_________________

Give pat a chance to disappoint you. He hasn't seen the WSCR training video. It is like the video from Zoolander. Except it is Bernsie telling you to call people stupid.

I think his hosting window has closed. He's what, in his early 40s? I could see him rising up the ranks behind the scenes. Next PD after Mitch is gone? Make it happen Rod.

I don't think that's true. There's more money in subscription radio.

I'd take goff. I like him.

Goff earned a special place in my heart when he ripped Bernsie for buying expired meat. I'd welcome him back with open arms if he could rib Mitch and Zim for doing the same.

_________________

My thought as well. There are easily people who host regularly who are a far more difficult listen than Abbatacola.

If you have been at the same place for 15 years and are not going to move up, then maybe you consider just moving on.

You're saying you hope he dies soon?

Is that a threat?

YES or NO ?!?

I was tempted to create a new thread 'Should Beardown leave the board?' but I don't want to become what I hate.

He should stay.
Short term: Spiegs is still going to take days off after Tributo and that will give Drinky airtime. Bernstein is going on vacation next week, and Drinky will be on with Boers. There are holidays coming up where people are going to take off, so he will be the fill-in. He's doing weekends now.

Long term: The Score has gone to jocks/personalities before with a less than stellar history, which suggests that after the novelty of a new Bears season turns into a floundering existence, someone with some radio chops will be needed/welcome to keep the show interesting. While I don't think he and Bernstein can tolerate each other enough to do successful radio, the Terry Boers experience will one day come to a close, and then the shuffling of chairs will begin. Working for CBS means he may move on to another local station in a greater capacity, or move somewhere else in corporate.

While there seems to be a great deal of animus towards him (kind of a sub-theme on this board) I can tolerate him, I just want him to be himself. If he wants to be enough of an assbag sooner or later he will get caught up in that mess, and then he'll either sink or swim.

drinky is a solid. Bernstein tainted him as his old frat boy persona was good stuff. Away from Bernstein he is a fine alright listen. If Hanley can be on the air so can drinky

He expanded his role by taking on H&R and is a willingly fill-ins. Bitchtits will continue his coverband career enabling drink to fill-in and then permanently take that spot.
