Not that it’s a terrible thing but you can hardly hear Matt Abatacola. He’s the weak link on the show anyways. It sounds very amateurish with Dan coming in loud and clear with obvious professional equipment and Matt must have the Temu version of Dans equipment. Not that Matt adds that much anyways but the sound discrepancy is horrible.
matthew and daniel are puddin on the rizz
Somebody told me about The Score when I was home from college back in the summer of 1992. I’ve been a Scorehead ever since. However, since Dan and Matty reunited, I can count the number of times I’ve listened to The Score on one hand.
Really enjoy the show and the regular rotation of professional journalists. But nothing is more aversive on here than the blatant nepotism of putting your kid on the air despite having no professional credentials. It’s insulting to your guests who have worked the beat honestly and your audience who wants to hear experienced sports thoughts.
If you hate the bears and over analyze every press conference…you will love this show
