If the station manager is looking for a culture change to "fun radio" then he needed to fire Goff and Bernstein. I'm curious as to the economics of the re-shuffling and whether the station manager fell for sunk cost fallacy. One could safely assume Bernstein is clearing salary higher than Spiegel and Goff combined. Given the investment in Bernstein the station manager felt compelled to keep him on the radio.

Doesn't really make sense to me but radio people are weird. A guy like Bernstein who has checked out mentally and is pulling down a large salary would've been target #1 to hit the road. He's more talented than Grimace/Goff/Replacement X but his salary in a dying industry is unworkable. Sorry, good luck on future endeavors.

Dan brings in money (and I'm not 100% sure the Score gives the One Step exposure away), Jason didn't.

Well, its not overtly insulting, lIke Goff's work. But Spiegel, in general, is this overly emotional, sappy drama queen. I do think a lot of us can be too cynical and "tough" sometimes, but come on - there's a limit. And Spiegel went over the limit a long time ago. It also comes off as sooooo self-important.

From my perspective, it's too bad because he has decent sports thoughts.

I think it's more insulting than Goff. It's all manufactured bullshit. It's like that engagement post. I'm gonna say all the right social things, I'm sensitive and strong, it's gonna be so great, cuz I'm so great, and righteous, unique, and special. I'm doing it right. I feel things so deeply. My fans! Our connection! PUKE!!!! He's either full of shit or Ellen Burstyn wandering around on stage in a red dress at the end of Requiem for a Dream.

I'm in touch with my aggression too!

for all the Mr. Sensitive act, there are three women who got sick of that shit very quickly when they got to know him intimately

Bingo

Spiegel is out for the same reason Jason is. Be yourself, or be a part timer

Bernstein is looking at a pay cut come next contract chat.

Hopefully fun Jason lands somewhere local soon.

I want to sell cars or land in AZ to the posters who believed Spiegel's schtick.

Re-reading it I feel like Jason Goff was trying to channel Bill Simmons, and he failed miserably.

Just like yer old man always said:

I brought you into this world, I can take you out of it!

That perfectly describes the Mac-Spiegs dynamic.

Spiegs overstayed his welcome - to the point where Mac ditched him to see if the station would drop the dead weight. It took 3.5 years.

meatpants is an incredibly pretentious and smarmy guy. Outside of that smug persona, he may be a great guy, but any attempt I've ever seen from him to be a real person is always clouded by a burning desire to come across as way more intelligent and important than he is. He went to the Marc Maron school of douchebaggery.

I thought it was well thought out and well written. I didn't read the jabs that MANY on here did. Lot of bad, dumb takes here.

I don't have the hate / dislike for Spiegel that many here have. I happen to think Tributosaurus is really good. I think the Cubs song he did was really good. I think he's a very talented guy and there's a place for him in radio. I do NOT and have not ever found him to be a reason to listen to the Score. Maybe I'm under-estimating the fans he has out there....no clue. He certainly had a revolving door of co-hosts over the years. Maybe that's unfair, but you certainly cannot argue he didn't have a chance to prove he's an engaging talk show host. He had it. The show improved when Parkins came to town. Parkins is THE reason the show improved. He has "it" for being a radio host. Nothing personal, but it had nothing to do with Spiegel. He clearly has no clue of this.
