I am definitely guilty of JDC bashing and consternation over the SJW crap on the Score. It is simply because I don't like the constant mixing of politics and underlying social issues into sports. I want my sports talk ratio to be light hearted and fun. When Penn State fans are enablers of child rape and parents letting their kids play football is a forma of child abuse, well that's where I punch the button.

These Score guys could learn a ton from the CFMB Podcast. It was like the old Afternoon Saloon where a couple of guys are just bs'ing about various topics.

This has been around since the 90s. White Men Can't Jump came out in what year? Remember the Eddie Murphy SNL sketch about white privilege from the early 80s? I don't care about the comedy stuff.

I think that we have created a culture based on "offense" and what we can't talk about that is akin to fascist suppression of speak. There were people saying that Black Lives Matters real important message was that it's time for white people to shut up. How is that progress? We can't have a back and forth discussion anymore?

The sad thing is Les Grobstein is the only one left at the score who keeps politics out of his show. I welcome this rating tank and can't wait until Mancow overtakes Mully and Hanley!

March ratings come out tomorrow. Let's see how much Cubs spring training helped.

MVP now claiming to be number 1 sports station in Chicago and Score now saying M&H number 1 show.
Score used to claim number 1 station, but not now.

B&B used to also claim #1 afternoon show. B&G has never made such a claim

When are these ratings officially released, 4pm or something?

Yeah, I just checked radio-online and it says they'll have 'em at 4. Here's hoping the Score falls below 2.0.

I turned my radio off. Silence is better than the crap being shoveled today. I need meatball radio today- things broken, people screaming, anger, etc. I don't need to hear that Saad and Leddy would have made a difference. The Hawks don't have the cap room for those guys.

That would be truly glorious.

Most likely they move up or down a tenth, nothing much has changed between February and March besides people growing tired of Senor and Goff's bullshit. It does sound like 1000 passed them, though.

Even if it isn't something in the 1's, or even a marginal increase over the February books, they will know it's bad. Mitch, Dan, Spiegs, Jason and Matt, have all been there in some capacity for 3's and 4's carried only by talent, so they know what the text line looks like, how active the phone lines are, and so on. They know this isn't like it was then, and they will be, in quiet moments, alone with the knowledge that they are performing particularly poorly in the ratings, and that falls on them as talent and content producers.

Perhaps their powers of self-delusion and rationalization are so great they can point to the Bears being awful and the lineup changes in early January as the culprit, so these unequivocally poor ratings aren't squarely on them, and all is well now because the Cubs are on, anyway. But someone there will know, maybe it's Parkins.

Well, part of it is the lineup change. It's not a good lineup. Even if there's talent there, and there is, it isn't being allocated well.

Parkins will save the station once they hand him the keys to the afternoon show.

Yeah, I was meaning more the degradation of a listener base brought on by constant lineup shifts and fill-ins.

Well, they went up a tenth and beat 1000 by a tenth. EVERYTHING IS FINE. Douchebag wins again! Did not happen, you were listening, show was great, did not happen, you were listening, show was great.

that's the cumulative. MVP gets dragged down in the mornings by M&M while SCR gets propped up by M&H. The rest of the day is owned by MVP. I wonder where WMVP would be if they could get a local morning show. Perhaps hosted by an alum of both stations...

MVP is probably KILLING them in the key demo.

I can multi-task.

Shouldn't JDC have a problem with the entire concept of key demographic...? Male 25 to whatever.

It's because of the SJW's.

daaa I was at a beauty salon and every woman was wearing a hijab and we were all listening to the Score and then a man bumped into me and didn't say "excuse me" and just as we heard Jason on the radio say "best believe my man Johnny Knox keeps it on the down low" I said "you can't push me around because I'm a woman" and every woman wearing a hijab started applauding, all this literally happened

It's everything: the constant social issues, the shaming people who don't care about social issues, the afternoon drivetime show talking endless national NBA basketball, the midday show being two unfunny people who seem to genuinely dislike one another, and a near-complete lack of taking phone calls from listeners.
