<\/a> Patrick Mannelly<\/p><\/div>\n

It\u2019s official: \u201cThe Spiegel and Mannelly Show\u201d starts Tuesday on the Score.<\/p>\n

Patrick Mannelly, who recently retired after 16 seasons with the Bears, has signed to join Matt Spiegel as midday co-host on CBS Radio sports\/talk WSCR AM 670.<\/a> The show will air from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday through Friday.<\/p>\n

Mannelly, 39, replaces Dan McNeil, who chose not to renew<\/a> his contract after five years on the Score. McNeil, who celebrated his 53rd birthday Wednesday, has been off the air since his contract expired in mid-June.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor Mannelly to join our team just a couple months removed from playing for the Bears and the NFL is what makes this work so well,\u201d Mitch Rosen, program director of the Score, said in a statement. \u201cHis insight, opinions and energy will make this a terrific Chicago sports radio show. Spiegel and Mannelly bring a great mix of intelligent sports content and insider knowledge to our team.\u201d<\/p>\n

An Atlanta native and graduate of Duke University, Mannelly joined the Bears in 1998 and spent his entire career with the team as a long snapper. On June 20, he retired as the longest tenured <\/a>player in Bears history.<\/p>\n

Although obviously well versed in football, which he showed as a fill-in host, Mannelly said he won\u2019t be limited in scope: \u201cI can\u2019t wait to talk about all Chicago sports with the Score family,\u201d adding: \u201cI look forward to building a great show together [with Spiegel] and entertaining the Score listeners.\u201d<\/p>\n

Along with another former Bear, Jim Miller, Mannelly was reported to have been among the top choices of Score bosses for the position.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
