Chicago Fanatics Message Board :: View topic - Who assigns Holmes this gig?

Spiegel complaining about how people save parking spots in Chicago for a second straight day was an instant PTFB button for me. When I flipped back he said people on the East coast need to "man up" and deal with the snow and the inconveniences it brings. OK...

Laurence being there today makes it unlikely I'll flip back again.

People on the East Coast do need to man up and deal. Our office in NJ is closed today and my office is stuck with their crap. We never close

loho is fine. he works hard, always taking every opportunity to fill in when he can. hard to hate the guy

Does Mitch Rosen think LoHo is a good host these days? I think he is below average and as good as he is ever going to get. Listening to him and Spiegel is not a good show. At least Spiegel keeps Holmes off his intentional tangents that he thinks make him cool in some bizarro world of anti decent radio.

Malacukoo G dislikes this.

No, not really. Actually I don't hate LoHo, that's a pretty strong word. There are just several other people I'd rather listen to.

Holmes must suck a MEAN....

How else can you explain how a guy with no talent has his own show and fills in for "star" hosts? There are talented guys like Goff and Drinky that have to sit on the bench for a hack like him.

Anyone ever think that Holmes is already being paid, so it's an easy choice?

I wonder what Hampton's contract state is. E.g., use him as the designated hitter if he's still being paid 'weekday show' scale.

Laurence Holmes gets the job done!

Who would you rather have 'sit in'?

At least there's interested talk regarding both major sports currently in progress this time of year.

Ike, pull your head out of your rear. I'm not faulting the guy for busting his ass, I'm faulting him because he sucks on the air.

Some of his thoughts are weird & a waste of time to me.

Unfortunately, Dan Patrick wasn't available...He's getting ready to be part of NBC Sports' snow-less coverage of the Vancouver Winter Olympics.

Holmes must suck a MEAN.... How else can you explain how a guy with no talent has his own show and fills in for "star" hosts? There are talented guys like Goff and Drinky that have to sit on the bench for a hack like him.

Anyone ever think that Holmes is already being paid, so it's an easy choice?

And screw the 6-10 slot, the one he's supposed to be building audience for. Yeah I know, that's on the PD for not having any sense. Really, if they feel that way, why bother with an assigned host at all? Rotate the update guys in that slot; play the Dan Patrick show! Shark will listen to the latter. I wonder what Hampton's contract state is. E.g., use him as the designated hitter if he's still being paid 'weekday show' scale.

Both Jason and Matt are nice guys; they had a chance at being fill in hosts. Management; for whatever reason, does not use them anymore. Probably has to do with that they WEREN'T good enough for the numbers they brought in. LoHo is being PAID for a daytime shift after being displaced by Danny Mac. Hence, you use the guy YOU ARE ALREADY PAYING FOR.
