Several have commented that people must not be listening to us anymore because traffic has really slowed here. I'm gonna go start a threat in Silvy's section 'cuz nobody's posted there since Sunday. Were they on the first four days this week?

I started out a regular listener, switched to the podcast earlier this year and then pretty much PTFB for good back around May/June when it seemed the show consisted almost entirely of Spiegel audibly making googly eyes at you and worshiping you and your hockey cred/Blackhawks prescience.

Yes, the Blackhawks became the newest black in Chicago in 2009-2010.

And you were the the one and only Chicago sports talk radio guy who never stopped talking Blackhawks regardless of their record: I recall MJH sending a reporter to cover the opening (and report back a head count) of the Blackhawks store back when it first opened and no one cared and then after the elder Wirtz passed away Danny Mac advising us to tell our friends to meet us at the bar at 1901 West Madison in the first season of Kane/Toews. Great, give you your props, but then move on and give the discussion some substance. Seemed like every May/June show was a smitten Spiegel working through a schoolboy crush on Chicago's #1 hockey fan. It wasn't even like Spiegel was trying to capture some vicarious cred by associating himself with you, it was pure radio-fellatio. PTFB material for sure.

Tho I did happily download and listen to the podcast of you on Philly radio, giving Philly the business, including the one Phllly radio host who seemed to be a friend of yours and then curb-stomping them with the money shot of: "I'm in my favorite place in Philadelphia....the airport." ha, that was awesome. They were befuddled.

I like the edge Jason Goff and the other producer who chimes in on B&B bring to the discussion. They seem unconcerned about Bernstein's approval. Whereas your approval seems to be Spiegel's raison d'etre.

Thing is, Spiegel has it in him to be the way Goff and the other producer who chimes in on B&B are--Bernstein could say "It's 54 degrees farenheit today" and Spiegel would jump in his shit and dispute it. But you could say as rain fell and winds whipped "it's a beautiful day out there today, Spiegel" and Spiegel would not only agree but statistically prove your correctitude.

Everyone is allowed to love what they love, but when your favorite sport's championship game loses in the ratings by two million viewers to "So You Think You Can Dance," perhaps you should consider the will of the people. Game five lost 3:2 to game two of the NBA finals. Those are national numbers, but I'm guessing they don't skew all that favorably when you talk strictly Chicago numbers.
And that was just the championship round numbers! We are entering a new season -- people will not pay attention because it is still a tier two sport. It is better than it was, but it doesn't captivate an audience yet. This is the same reason you use to talk about why you won't discuss college football in greater detail -- I bet you the interest in Hawks vs Top 25/Big Ten college football is at the least equal.

Bears season on the radio is like repeatedly having your dick cut off and sewn back on. Its the same shit over and over again. Lovie sucks. Offensive line sucks. Cutler sucks. Lather. Rinse. Repeat. Then when you talk hockey, people get pissed. Id rather just not listen at all. Even the guys after you are driving me up a wall. If I have to hear any more concussion radio Im going to be up in a belltower, if I can still find one of those. So I am avoiding it. This board has been giving me the same feeling...


:shock:

This same thing happened in that movie Tremors!

The problem is the show needed a daily thread with a snappy title. Thankfully boyd has stepped up recently, along with JORR, to create daily show threads. Increased traffic.

Just look at the B&B section. Wednesday had 8 show threads. Lots of activity.

So, in conclusion, this section will never die. It will just multipy. Colors.

We are putting as much effort into making threads about you as you put into your show.

Just don't give a fuck anymore.

There....that will get you the 5 page response that you crave. Let's go ALSers

Ok Jackass.

I highlighted the word THREAT, which was obviously a drunken misspelling of THREAD by Mac and I said "No mistake, Mac is pissed" indicating he would post an actual physical threat to Silvy.

Is that not far out enough to be an obvious joke?

Then you ask me Why he's pissed?

He's not. Its a joke.

Your show doesn't really entertain me too much anymore and you suggested that I go elsewhere, so I have. I'll probably listen to your show today since Goff is filling in...

Send Spiegel to the Puerto Rican guy on 26th st for some corn and replace him with Goff for good. You might just have the best show on sports radio after that

There's a Conan poster (that I cant find for the life of me) with a fan sportin Conan's exact hairstyle standing behind him smiling and Conan is kinda giving the bug eyed akward/scared smile.


That would perfectly describe my reaction to this post.

I cant believe I cant find it. I know I fuckn saw it...

Maybe Doug and I need to start our own brand so we can be heard as much as elmhurst steve. Or, starting signing our texts as "Peroia Matt"

Don't worry, even if we get pissed at each other, there's plenty of time for us to be pissed at you too.

I'm guessing some good ones get skipped over because of sheer volume. It's kinda like sending resumes out...ya send out 100 and get 1 response.
Peoria Matt and Johnny Fontaine do have good ones, but I'm guessing they also send at least 5-6 per day.

I understand Jeff. I don't send as many as I used to because I can't pay attention all the time at work, but I can't remember the last time I heard something I sent or something Doug send read on the air. Not that I expect everything to be read (because most of the things I send in suck :lol:), but still. Its been a long time..,been a long time been a long lonely lonely lonely lonely lonely time..

Rawked out to some "Dazed and Confused" on the way home last night. 8)
Ever notice that the bridge on that song makes you want to go really fast, especially if you're on the expressway?
Have we had a "Songs that make you want to drive really fast" thread yet?

'The Wanton Song' makes me want to drive fast.

'The Rain Song' is the prettiest song every written.
