Said he doesn't know if he'll be the pre and post guy or somebody else.

So there is that answer. Yet to be determined. Ed and DJ said their good byes to him just in case it's the end.

But he said he'll be doing updates at the SCORE next week.

Nothing classier than asking a guy on the air if he is going to lose his job! Great guys

He's gone IMO.


I believe he would have been informed he's still their guy if he was truly their guy.

Whether or not he is going or staying, it could have been asked off the air.

Imagine if your company merged and some guy yells from down the hall.......'hey, Bill, you getting canned or staying on with the new ownership?"...

In this case it was broadcast to 13 or 14 people!

He's a perfect update guy for the hate & indignation show between 1 and 6 pm.

He always seems to be bitter, angry & sardonic.

I am glad that Chris won't be going to WLS. I hope he enjoys his dead end career as an update anchor.

I really do miss Dave Wills, but I know there is no way he would leave his current gig.

Ten years is a long time to do pre/post. I mean, Kaplan did Cubs pre/post for a long time, but he parlayed that into being the king of Chicago sports media. Rongey is the king of giggling during late-November scoreboard updates.

Damning with faint praise. For all of us.

I saw that quote in that Ali documentary a few weeks ago. When I saw it, I thought to myself, "uh-oh." Made me very uncomfortable.

Kaplan sucks.

I think it would be fitting for Cardinals Fan Ranger to become the new host of Cubs pre/post on SCR next year.

Rongey is an asshole. I wish him great success when he asks "What kind of bread do you want".

Rongey feels the cold breeze of the negative zone beckoning.

The good news is that he'd have more time to hone his skills as a storm chaser.

Honest question - Why does he always seemed to be pissed off?

I get it that the Sox had another terrible season and it's much more enjoyable to pre & post when your team is doing well (Mark Grote).

However, when the season is over and he starts pulling update shifts throughout the day, he sounds cranky - like he doesn't even want to be there.

You try working with Goff, Spiegel, and Bernstein and remain "positive."
