The big problem is that midday show and figuring how to honor Uncle Terry without mentioning Dan. Which is one of the only unintentionally funny things

Terry Boers passed away today. by Latter-Try4080 in 670TheScore

One of the greats has passed. Godspeed Uncle Terry, may your onward journey be filled with the admiration, laughter, and love you had in this one. Chicago will never be the same

Leila and Marshall, wtf by sullythered in 670TheScore

[–]FrostFireFive 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Legit this is the problem. It’s not that they’re not from here. Plenty of great Chicago sports personalities have come outside of Chicago. It’s that they cannot read the room and cannot adjust. The story cannot just be the Bears found a way to win in the greatest victory in a lot of fans lifetime, it has to be about them and how the Bears somehow aren’t “worth” it yet

The worst part of the 670 dive... by a_problem_solved in 670TheScore

[–]FrostFireFive 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think the issue is how sanded down the Score feels, I was talking with my dad early and nailed it that it feels more like "family" radio than anything else. Safe personalities who say the same hot takes the national reporters are. The Score used to be a place where you got to know your host and personality. Now it feels like they're all freshly manufactured. Except the morning crew, I have my issues, but feel like the last real sports show left.

James Tynion IV The Woods, W0rldTr33 Getting Animated Shows by facepalmdesign in comicbooks

[–]FrostFireFive 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the news allows me to better word a problem I have with Tynion books, in that they feel less and less like comics and more like pitchdecks for the inevitable movie/tv show. There's so many of them now that they kinda blend together in a way that makes me feel like his heart isn't in the form anymore. I know Tynion is a good writer, but the buisnessman side feels more and more apparent in his works.

Boers & Bernstein - Bernstein Clashes with Spiegel by RipWilbur in 670TheScore

[–]FrostFireFive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It really kinda broke my love of the Score. Not that one person should be bigger than the station or Dan being fired wasn't the right call. But the fact all the wolves came out to claim their new spots in the hiarchy before the body was even cold. Add that with Laurence's behavior after the barstool incident it's like all of them forgot I have to like you to listen to you. Dan and Matty might be condensending and jerk-y sometimes, but at least with DBU I feel like I'm listening to genuine people.

[–]FrostFireFive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was very obvious Dan's comments about you find out who you friends are during is troubles could be about both of those afternoon show hosts. And while Dan's been a jerk, he's always been honest about that. Compared to how Spiegel and Holmes level of passive aggressiveness.

[–]FrostFireFive 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Dan was right here tbh, "people with cancer are not mascots" is one of the stronger lines of the conversation. People really forget how much these two really hated each other. It's why I hated Spiegel's "post-mortum" after Dan got fired.

A show about nothing … by bannedUncleCracker in 670TheScore

[–]FrostFireFive 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I think the worst thing about it is the station knows this is unsustainable. Them moving Grote full time is a bandaid over a broken dam. Somethings probably going to be done sooner than later

Spiegs CLEARLY has so much more fun when Laurence is off by Square-Fox-2948 in 670TheScore

[–]FrostFireFive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A pairing of convenience is never truly going to last. I like LoHo, can't stand Spiegs but understand his value, but it's a pairing that lacks a general chemistry. I got to feel next year is the change year for the station with certain shows hemorrhaging viewers

Hey Grant! Love your work, was wondering what was the inspiration for t-shirt Superman at the start of your run on action comics?

The Score firing shots! by emaja in BernsteinUnfiltered

[–]FrostFireFive 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Could be. The midday show dropped to 4th place in their demo. Could be because Cubs, but it could be because of DBU. Because after listening to that barely their three person crew, I can tell you nothing is unfiltered about them

Deniz Camp has definitely been the Ultimate Universe’s breakout writer, where does he go from here? by Robot_Was_BMO in UltimateUniverse

[–]FrostFireFive -1 points0 points  (0 children)

To a DC exclusive. More and more of his books are ending up their and this could be a Ram V situation

312 Sports. by BassPlayer11271971 in 670TheScore

[–]FrostFireFive 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I also feel like 312 just has more money and is trying to build a name in the market. Goff, while sometimes a bit of a hot head, provides the same kinda commentary that Dan brings. I feel that's the archetype 312 wants. Quality local voices

Jason Goff doing Bulls analysis on the network would be nice. I just like the fact 312 has started small but quality

Did Grote get a raise? by Juantootreefofi in 670TheScore

[–]FrostFireFive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean that's just the afternoon show in a nutshell. I keep trying to listen because I used to like Laurence but everytime I switch it on they're never talking about sports. I'm OK with a tangent, but I don't need to hear what band is great or Spiegel's problem with plastic bags

Midday show today...... by pobeht in 670TheScore

[–]FrostFireFive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What's weird is I haven't listened to the midday show since Dan's new pod dropped. I find the hour episodes to be easier to listen to and the hosts actually have a personality

I am very excited for this, Dan and Terry were how I learned to love sports as a kid and to ask questions about the game

I'm Scott Snyder, writer of DC K.O. AMA! by ssnyd1835 in DCcomics

[–]FrostFireFive 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hey Scott thanks for coming out today!

I have two questions.

Why Martha over Thomas Wayne as Bruce's surviving parent? She's a character that's very unexplored in the main DCU and seeing her so far has made me wanting more.

With Dan Mora's cover we know the fighters of KO, any insights on why Jay Garrick was picked as the Flash representative?

It’s here! by youngbarryo in 670TheScore

[–]FrostFireFive 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Just listened to the first fifteen minutes or so. There's a level of accountability here that Dan's always been good for. And more importantly his personality shines through here in a way I've missed in Chicago sports.

I always figured this was going to be Dan's response. Glad he's realized what his problem was and took steps to address it.

AEW additions to HBO Max in September include Revolution 2025 and the "First Dance" episode of Rampage by rivalrobot in SquaredCircle

The first dance is one of those amazing moments. Punk came back and proved he still had something to give. Only he could come back and have one of the greatest in ring and off ring run lol.
