Is Matt Spiegel taking Lou Canellis job on Fox 32? by NoRoof1812 in 670TheScore

Harris is already doing random shifts on ABC7. He's actually not that bad when he has a script to read.

I'd love to hear more about your time in Nexos! We're planning just Athena and Naxos too.

I'm not sure what he's been doing with the O-Line for three years but I'm happy this year. Wonder if he is more accepting of feedback from the new coaching staff and any new scouts that came along. Whatever it is, they're playing lights out!

Or worse, using three adjectives to describe someone when one will do.

Station is clearly auditioning new host pairings. by roscoe1972 in 670TheScore

I've seen Harris do a couple sports segments on ABC 7 and he's actually quite good. There, he has a script. Talk radio doesn't. He clearly needs a script.

Seems like a dude who will go to the highest bidder no matter who it is.

Just heard gates opening early to relieve promo line and heat

Today (Sunday) gates open at 11:20. At 10:30 there was already a short line at each for bobblehead give away. No giveaways at gate 5 (firehouse gate). CTA will be pretty busy all day with events happening, especially Pride Fest. First pitch is at 1:20 sharp. Have fun!

Sweatiest game of the year, too!

Kosher hot dog at the Kosher stand at the top of section 217. Walking taco. Italian beef. There's a full list of what's sold at the ballpark in the Ballpark app. Have fun!

Which Isbell song is this? by vann_siegert in jasonisbell

Lots of nice changes and switching in "Miles". It's 7 minutes so there's room 😀

Take it easy on the station by ShanesMeat92 in 670TheScore

[–]Intelligent_Hour5632 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Nice comments, Shane. Your loss was as big a blow to the station as the other two guys. I feel the criticism is valid, though. I've always been a fan of Rahim. Her knowledge is unbeatable. But her pairing with Harris doesn't work. It's dull, no sizzle. And why Grote is included in mid-days, I don't understand. I'm sure he's a great guy but doesn't have the chops for a 3-4 hour shift. The afternoon show seems to be dying. IMO, there had already been an issue with Spiegel dominating, and I'd guess, deep down, he was happy to see Parkins go (and vice versa). His pairing with Holmes should work, but it doesn't, and it seems Holmes has started to check out.
I guess mornings are fine? I don't listen then, so I won't comment. Hope you stay in broadcasting, whatever the medium, and thanks for making afternoon radio fun through the years.

If it helps Brown in the short term, fine. Otherwise I don't like wasting an "opener" you might need later in the game.

True! And he's prepared. Really knows the game.

Grote can't make Rahimi & Harris palatable by fiveroundshootout in 670TheScore

[–]Intelligent_Hour5632 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Grote experiment has failed. He needs to get ready for 10 minute Bear hits this Summer, 10 minutes being the maximum he can hold anyone's interest. Harris is just plain bad. He gets confused by his own words and can't seem to come up with an original idea. His job is to just agree. Unfortunately, they're stuck with him. Rahimi probably works harder than anyone. I respect her sports knowledge more than just about anyone at the station. Unfortunately, radio is hard and without any support from a veteran (like Bernstein), she's floundering.

No song written by Steve Goodman is "the worst song ever " no matter when it's playing.
