Really aewsome get. Appointment radio for me going foward.

With the ratings bump this will give the noon hour, more listeners will stay on and listen to B&B

Bernstein wins again

Am I doing that right?

He was on with waddle and zilch within the past few weeks on a Wednesday or Thursday. He was very good and I'm not a huge baseball fan. I have no confidence that spiegel and goof will have good interviews with him.

It is impossible to have a bad interview with Joe Maddon.

Really Dan? Do you think that Maddon is going to say anything different than any other manager or coach they've ever had on ? It'll be softball questions and lots of giggling and fawning of what an iconoclast that wacky Joe Maddon is .

Nah. Not anything Spiegel and Goff related. I could see Bernstein doing something to piss off the Cubs and as a result, Maddon is off. Unless that is what you meant.

Maddon will do the show and will continue to do the show, because as a few people have pointed out, the Cubs will soon be moving from WBBM to the Score. This is connected to CBS Sportsradio! getting the Cubs.

I don't think so, because Spiegel doesn't bullshit when it comes to baseball. I don't see him asking Maddon if "he works out".

not likely. I watched a lot of Rays baseball including the pre-game and Joe always answered any question, softball or not. S&G will have to work very hard to mess this up.

Correct, that is why I said The Score instead of naming Grimace or King Selfie.

No. B&B love Maddon. They won't rip him. Plus Maddon is the type that could take criticism anyway.

Now, if B&B start discussing Cub players banging other players wives, then yeah, Maddon won't do Spiegel and Goff because of B&B.

Why are you so mad?

I'd pick Spiegel over anyone at the Score to talk in depth baseball. This will likely be quite good.

Cubs games will be on 670 next year. Berns is in full Cubs lickage mode & so will everyone else at 670. I dint think anyone at The Score is dumb enough to screw up the CBS - Cubs cross platform corporate partnership.

I share DB and Rick's skepticism but I will allow for the possibility that Maddon is the exception to the rule. He seems like an interesting guy.


But on the other hand, Maddon was dealing with Tampa Media before. He might not be so happy with Chicago.

Disagree. That was terrible radio because Bennett sucks. He would say the dumbest shit and they would try to keep the peace by agreeing or laughing.

Maddon has thoughts almost all of time. And if he doesn't necessarily have baseball thoughts, I'm sure that Purps and King can ask him some entertaining or pop culture stuff.

_________________

Should be good, my only concern is Spiegal may try too hard to prove his baseball chops to Maddon and make some interviews too obtuse.

The problem is that any current player or manager can't ever be honest. They can be honest about the positive things but never about the negative stuff. Maddon can't give his true opinions on Baez or the potential issues of Castro's future without it being a big deal.

My guess is that IMU could give an equally informative interview about the team.

I don't think Bernstein would report a sex scandal with the Cubs like he did the Blackhawks, though. Because he wouldn't want to disappoint Theo. Where as he doesn't care what Rocky and/or John McDonaough think of him.

Bernstein very much wants Theo's approval.

that is spot on. Bennett tried to put on an act for each show. It gradually got worse and more strained.

we'll see if Maddon takes a pause after hearing Goff's sure-to-come 'big boy pants' question.

Best show was probably those early Ditka shows on the Score. While the worst had to be the David Wells show, though he did make himself look like an ass for challenging Thomas' injury. At least that was interesting.

Who was the Bears DC during the Jauron days? His show was good too on MJH.
