Yeah. Pat man's hiring is showing just how unlikable Matt really is. It's fascinating.

Right on target, Darkside. Grimeat & Mannelley's appearance on STL with Kaplan the other night magnified the pure douchiness of the purple one. Speigs has been on STL several times and never acted that doucheful before. Mannelly was very good. I will create and print the official Snapper Fan Club membership cards... he is doing very well. I'm all in.

I'm on board! I like Pat. I'd like to have a few beers and shoot the shit with him...

Agreed here. Would love to have had him with Mac.

I like Pat but I'm not sure that he has the chops longterm. I think he is more suited to be one of the Score football experts. He's more interesting and likable than Bowen.

Hes getting better. He wants to be better. I think there's sincere effort there, which is something that I don't believe anyone at the score bothers to give.

Definitely putting in pro effort.

Mac and Pat would've been great.

I was totally wrong on Pat. He's the goods and has made grimace expendable.

I would think that an interesting and likeable personality would be a better asset for being an on-air radio host than for providing football analysis on the radio during weekly segments.

Or hosting a daily afternoon show.

You weren't totally wrong. Give yourself more credit.

Serious question for some of the more seasoned Score listeners...

Who was the last host/personality that connected this positively with the average fan as much as Mannelly has?

I'd put Jurko in there. I haven't listened to him since the MJH days but as a former athlete I
think he really connected with the average listener and meatball pretty well.
