I can’t listen to Jurkos right wing politics, casual racism and homophobia anymore
How many Italian American Goodfellas jokes until it’s enough? Carmen’s stubbornness regarding certain topics makes the show impossible to enjoy. He mistakes his milquetoast surface level understanding of topics like analytics (for example) as gospel. And incorrectly applied these concepts way too often. Jurko’s humor can’t even save this show
When Jurko isn’t being a football meathead, he’s being racist. He says so many coded messages. He criticizes black players differently that how he criticizes white players. One could argue he doesn’t know or realize it and I could are that’s worse.
I appreciate this show even more now that I have to be dragged through 2 hours of Clinton and Friends. Worst 2 hours of radio.
Love the show boys, keep it up! Great window into the state of local Chicago sports. Let’s me keep track of my fave teams while living in a different city. Jurko is insanely funny. You guys capture the mood of the city incredibly well.
