To me she does this for her own good to set herself up after basketball because she's not very good at basketball.No doubt she is marketing herself for her own good. And I can't blame her for that. But she's been successful at that and become a bit of a celebrity. The league needs notable names to generate interest and she is definitely an example of that.

But, I think the Sox should move on from him and find someone else."If any of those radio losers clip it and try to make fun of you, nobody cares about them anyway." I'm not really feeling the "decent guy" characterization when he is on the record saying s%*# like that to escalate a war that started with fair criticism of his lack of knowledge.

I don't want a broadcaster whose skin is so thin he can't even take radio hosts rightfully criticizing him. Whether or not the radio hosts are good or bad is hardly the point. Be better, do your job, maybe get some thicker skin. Or get the hell out of town.

At least he's dropped that kind of nonsense. Edited 1 hour ago1 hr by 77 Hitmen

It's entertainment.As much as I hated Marriotti, it used to make me cringe when Hawk would start going off on one of his "hiney bird" rants against him during a broadcast. I mean, he wasn't wrong, but still it wasn't exactly Hawk's finest moments on the air. Joe West is different because his ineptness and huge ego was actually affecting the game.But, Hawk was Hawk, he was a broadcasting icon. Schriffen came in as a nobody who didn't even know how to pronounce "Veeck" with guns blazing against the local media.

It's entertainment.In his case it typically wasn't beause they criticized HIM as much as they hurt the White Sox in general. He never really seemed to care about the personal attacks. I will also say the thing I liked least about Hawk was the constant stream of team propaganda that he fed.

He wasn't trying to gaslight the fans. He truly believe Chicago White Sox baseball was the greatest thing on the planet haha.

Doesn’t take a genius to realize why.

Dan (and I think Holmes) were unbelievably butthurt about Benetti leaving and Schriff replacing him. Dan still has a personal vendetta against Schriffen because of it. Pretty ridiculous to be that upset just because he replaced Jason.

He was trying to argue with them that the Sox were going to surprise the league and be a problem. Instead they surprised the league with many problems and lost 120 games. Pretty sure that was him and Spiegel, I don’t recall Bernstein talking to him. I think that first interview was the last
