I'd love someone with a greater knowledge and interest in college football. I'd also like someone with a more functional knowledge of baseball to offset Dan's ownership and statistical perspective.

Then that's Goff, I think. The thing I've been learning as I listen more and more to S&G is that both of them, but especially Goff, are very knowledgeable about the who's what's and why's of modern sports. Spiegel has the edge on encyclopedic trivia knowledge, but Goff is, I think, one of the most informed hosts in the daily lineup. Goff's knowledge of the modern NBA probably exceeds Dan's, and he certainly knows more about the current state of the NFL and college football than Dan does.

Goff doesn't like or know baseball that much. Sure, he'll recite the stats and talking points that he hears from Bernstein. But he'd rather be talking NBA. He's a basketball/football guy. Hell, he used to be the Score's NBA expert. Remember that?

Exactly how much should they concentrate on college football in a market that doesn't care for any one team enough to discuss it all that much?

I think there are more than enough people interested in college football in their listenership. It doesn't have to be a discussion with a guy who says Go Cats at the end of his interview.

If a person knows how to talk about the subject, anything can be interesting. I'm lukewarm on college football at best, but Gerry DiNardo is a great listen.

Great point Jorr. Just have Olcyck or someone good on once a week during the regular season and they would satisfy hockey fans.

If they fill the job internally, I predict they'll go with Spiegel. Someone that's worked for the station in middays as long as he has would have to be considered for a promotion when an afternoon drive spot becomes available.



No fucking way it is meatpants. Dan would kill him in a few weeks and meatpants wants nothing to do with hanging out with Bernsie every day.

Has there been any mention of a timeline for this? Will they have someone ready to go in January or will we go through an interim period of fill ins again?


Not sure. Goff was joking today about producers vying for his job, and he said something like "January 20th comes and they'll get my ass up outta here", and Spiegel laughed heartily. I don't know when books come out for these guys, so he may be referencing that, but my first impression was that he's talking about a new host at the station to take the spot created by Terry on the 5th.

Even if the 20th is completely unrelated to Terry's spot, I don't think they'll have someone ready by the 5th to do a full-time gig with Bernstein or in any other time slot.

Inauguration Day.
