This covers hosts, TV sports anchors, and frequent guests on local shows.

1. Mark Giangreco -- When he's on with W&S he makes a few too-cool-for-the-room comments, most of which aren't funny. If he demonstrated some actual knowledge in addition to that it would be fine, but he usually sounds like a poorly-informed caller as opposed to someone who has made a living covering sports for the last 30+ years. Disappointing because he seems like someone who should be witty and knowledgeable but is only occasionally the former and never the latter.

2. Michael Wilbon -- Listening to him talk about how "Chicago" he is and then hearing him talk about Chicago sports is like playing basketball with someone who has been telling you for weeks how good he was when he played in H.S. and college only to find out he can't even dribble the ball without bouncing it off his foot.

3. David Kaplan -- Did you know he drives a Corvette? A cheeseball blowhard who falls somewhere between Mike North, Jim Rome, and Stephen A. Smith in terms of knowledge and presentation. Might be a bigger jock sniffer than Mac. Gets to wear Hub's earring on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

I think you're wrong about Giangreco and Wilbon. But definitely correct about Kaplan.

Kaplan is a Cubs fan pretending to be a Chicago media person.

Rozner is particularly brutal when trying to talk about non Chicago teams in every sport. Just clear that he doesn't know dick about any of the leagues nationally.

It was a compliment. You are a Chicago Sports Media Personality and the only one on this board.

You can lump all those big network suited up mannequins together. They are all ill-informed smarm machines with the charisma of a bucket of joint compound. They are perpetually stuck in the early 90s with their stories and fashion sense. I fail to see what purpose they serve other than to entertain the geriatrics and sub 70 IQ people who still watch network news.

Mac and North always struck me as limited with their overall sports knowledge. But they are also the best bullshitters and that can carry you a long way in their medium. Having the knowledge should not be the primary requirement for the job. That's how you end up with these undersexed and sheltered sports geeks with no clue on how to present a radio show being all over the air waves.

I think Boers knows baseball well. I don't think he knows any other sports at all (contemporarily sports, at least).

Mac in a landslide. North was forced to be more knowledgable at his last gig. Boers knows enough about baseball, football, and basketball to get a pass here.

Ben Finfer either doesn't know sports or has difficulty applying what he has seen to any coherent analysis

Boers has forgotten more about sports than most everyone else at the Score ever knew.

You're right on with 1 and 2. I'd replace Kap with Goff and then you're set.

Giangreco knows his shit. He correctly stated on air that his source in Buffalo confirmed that the rape case against Kane was a slam dunk.

Terry knows a lot, but Mac knows football way more than him. There's a story out there somewhere of Mac digging Terry out of a hole at a remote because he couldn't answer a basic football question...

Terry himself says he doesn't like football and won't watch it at all when he's done at the Score.
