This might be some major nit-picking (oxymoron?), but have they recently changed the background 'music' or whatever you want to call it when the update person is on? I seem to recall something different in the past...regardless I think whatever they currently use is incredibly obnoxious, especially the loud riff that comes in every 20 seconds or so.

the only word i can think of for that music is hokey. it's a feeble attempt to copy espn. they even give the out of town scores now. like i give a flying fuck who won the seattle/texas game.

I said this in another thread, but to borrow a phrase from Mr. Reason, the whole danged station's gone "country cocksucker" on us.

I could care less about it, but the new "Scoreboard Update" music sounds kinda synthesized and futuristic for lack of better terms. I care more what Mark Grote, Kerry Sayers, Joe Bartosch, Brian "The Whipping Boy" Paruch, Matt Rodewald & Mike Esposito are telling Chicago sports fans like me what's going on. In plain English, I care more about substance than what music is playing in the background every 30 minutes...

The previous Score update music was clearly a copy cat of the old ESPN Radio SportsCenter background music that was used up until July 2004. The new music I like, but I agree that suddenly loud rift every 20 seconds or so is annoying.

I definitely like the Score's new voiceover guy better than the previous guy.

They started using it in early July, I think. I don't like that bed either. If my memory's right, they used the same one for those stupid "Best of the Best" segments. I remember that obnoxious riff somewhere. Probably those obnoxious promos.

SHARK alleging that he cares more about substance than style is like the fucking Sledgehammer of Irony, by the way.

Moment of silence for "The SCORE's Best of the Best"...Thank you.
