If anyone is listening today, has Meat mentioned that he tried to DVR the Blackhawks game last night and when he settled in to watch it it was nothing but a blank screen because of the ongoing WGN / Direct TV negotiations?

Been a tough listen the last few days. Len Kasper on at 11 AM to talk baseball if anyone is interested.

Wish they could get the TV PBP guy for the White Sox on too.

Okay. Laurence Holmes is my least favorite Score host since Andy Garcia...and dude was probably the worst in the history of the station.

It felt good to get that off my chest.

You have to respect Laurence's delivery though right?

Bernstein, Zaidman, and Laurence are the only guys at the whole station that sound like professional broadcasters.

He knows how to talk, I'll give him that.

The thing is, I don't remember him always being like this. Back when he was doing the "Me & Z" thing, he didn't stunt and false-flag like he does now. Back then he seemed like one of the cooler younger hosts on the station. He was even kinda funny. Now he's just an irritating little fucker on the air.

I just love that it got so bad that OKC had to go rogue on Krazy Larry.

I had the first 2 minutes of the show and Spiegs gave the lineup of what is going to happen today and one of those things was that after the 11 AM hour, Jay Z would be sitting in and talking hockey, taking calls, texts, etc.

Larry then went on to explain to me that it would be like what Jay does for his Hawks post game shows?

Larry, yeah, I get it....Jay is going to take calls and texts, about Hawkey.

Rather listen to the Swaddle Mess than this HS radio show the Score has allowed to infestate the airwaves

I don't believe Original and I have ever agreed on the greatness of Laurence Holmes. Really not too big of a deal.

The bigger story here is bigfan listening but not really listening.....again.

Seriously. I don't think I am aware of a bigger Laurence Holmes and White Sox fan than BF.
It's approching an unhealthy level of obsession...

I am taping it! Going to listen to it later! I am sure it is another fabulous show.

Also programming in every Sox game.

This we can agree on. Why did my DaveHester mult have to die, BF? Can't think of a single post i even made with it so I'm pretty sure I didn't offend anyone...

Here's another example of what Laurence does wrong:

He's kinda like a "good vibes grim-reaper". On my Youtube channel, I posted a segment where Laurence, Bernstein, Matty, and Jason were talking about sex-ed class and grade school field trips. The segment was hilarious for the most part, strictly on the contributions of everyone except Laurence.

They'd all say something funny, and then Laurence would chime in with something trying to be funny and it would completely fall flat. Then someone else would have to bail him out. Laurence is THAT guy. Every time he attempts to be one of the guys, it just comes across so awkwardly because you can tell he's just trying SO HARD to fit in.

Do you remember the early 90s when Dave Baum would fill in for Tom Shaer? Shaer was bad enough, but that was even worse. Jesse Rodger's "Sunday Morning Breakfast Grill" or whatever it was called was pretty bad, too. Bernsie used to have great Sunday morning shows and IIRC Jesse got the gig as Dan started getting more airtime during the week. People would preface their call by saying what they wanted for breakfast and he would play cooking sounds as if he were preparing it for them. I give him points for trying something different, but he's a bad radio host and about as sharp as a pound of wet liver.

To answer BR17's question, I listened for a few minutes today and heard Speigel mention that. I take it he's been mentioning it non-stop?

I don't go back that far in my listening unfortunately, but that bit sounds pretty bad.

first hand confirmation on at least 3 hosts that Larry considers part of his tree of radio people and all 3 hate when the guy says it, as if they got their starts in radio because of Larry.
