It's still kind of jarring to listen to the Cubs radio broadcast and hear Ron Coomer in the pre-game talk about the game's spread and moneyline odds.

Loved Jiggs, but 100 percent this. The Score's most important hire ever was Matt Abbattacola, obviously.

How quickly people forget Tom Shaer.

The best Tom Shaer radio moment was when cutting back from commercial he was turned live with a mouth full of shredded wheat.

Tom was a good polished broadcaster. And with that he stuck out. Almost like he didn’t belong or having your dad at you HS keg party.

He had zero charisma. That was apparent even in his five minutes per day on tv before the Score. I remember hating him when he did Sunday sports back when I was a teen.

This. He would fit in perfectly in the current Score lineup.

This reunion was a hit off the nostalgia crackpipe. Terry is a national treasure. It's very telling that they mentioned not being able to quote things from 20 years ago now, yet they don't realize this is exactly why the Score has sucked unrelentingly since Terry left. Terry not giving A.F. about political correctness is what made him (and B&B) legendary and this reiterates it.

Maybe someday we'll get nostalgic enough for the pre-Woke era that the pendulum will swing back in the other direction.

this was great. so was the one-day reunion show in I wanna say, August 2019? ear candy, blast from the past, all was right with the world, whatever you want to call it. much of the score is unlistenable to me these days...except to fall asleep.
