The two hosts of Chicago sports radio station The Game 87.7 FM were pretty stunned on Friday after discovering they were “out of work” via Twitter rather than being informed by their employer. The duo, Ben Finfer and Alex Quigley, took out some of their frustrations live on the air.

This is the third thread started about this topic. Couldn't you have posted this in one of the other two threads?

ND is horrible.
Jarrett Payton needs to find a real job.

He sounded horribad, and needs to move on.

Brandmeier makes 800k/yr???

LOLWHUT. WHAT A JOKE.

I am tired of mediocre Chicago media people being recycled over and over and over......again. Some of these guys need figure out another way to make a living bc terrestrial radio isn't a growth industry and these juiced in guys at the Score/ESPN 1000 wouldn't leave their cushy gigs if you had their kids held hostage.

I call that a good start. Clean the rest of these ass-feeders next, but save Waddle and Jurko.

He is a bitch for not saying something. What's gonna happen? He's already going to lose his job.

Sounds like the dude on the right is part of management ( probably middle management). He may come out of this with a job for a while... As long as he tows the line. He obviously didn't expect the Twitter anouncment BS.

I occasionally tuned in to that station but IMO none of their shows were the best in thier respective time slots.

Once again the dickhead has commented on a post he obviously cares nothing about only to boost his ego and post count. Grow up already. YOU aren't Bears related.

Still a shitty ass way to let someone know they are fired.

Twitter? Really?

Least the guy on the left had some balls.
