Laurence loses another job. Tough times for media, but I think the bosses are starting to realize the truth. Not a lot of talent and it can be replaced by younger and cheaper. There is no reason for the Score to maintain his two hour of replays. Or is there ??????

All regional sports networks churn through talent even in good times. NESN usually marries them off to Red Sox players.

Sucks for Leila Rahimi, she should get a job at the Score.

I will miss Sports Talk Live.

I hated Leila on the radio til I saw her. She’s a cutie. Voice is bad. But she’s one of the good ones.

Larry. Whatever bro

Yeah..Leila has that voice that sounds like she got done doing 20 reps of 225 on the bench..all pumped up and excited. Suzy Kolber has that voice too..bordering on very masculine

I was checkin' up on Boynton one day and found that he got suspended from his Coyotes radio job twice. Once, I get, maybe, but twice?

I hadn't watched white sox pre and post games in a decade and now that they finally drew my interest, they remove the most visually interesting part of the show

First thought is its surprising two POCs got axed. But, then again probably 75% of the on-air talent are POC.

The Bears post game show hosted by Laurence was actually pretty good the last couple of years.

his bitch ass sons would definitely break guy code if he weren't and they are always lurking

Can't imagine there is going to be much new local weekend programming for the time being.

Larry isn't meant for TV. I don't think he's good at radio either, but especially TV.

He just looks awkward. He'll always say it was because of COVID that he got fired. But that's probably not the reason. I mean sports are back.

Leila was talented. She new sports, unlike Julie. I didn't mind her voice. Sure, it's not a typical female voice but it didn't bother me.

Wow. That's news to me. I thought both of them were guys who just drank until they passed out.

Sir looks like a Mocha Charlie Brown with his perfectly spherical head. Charlie loved baseball as well

And Kaplan’s show being cancelled is deserved. He sucks. And Mac once said that show has no audience. Very poor in ratings. He said this when we were in good times.

As I said in another thread, I think the RSNs have stopped lying to themselves about having to produce anything other than their destination programming. There's no reason to have Adam Hoge and Matt Spiegel sit in leather chairs and have mildly spirited conversations about the Bulls in exchange for steakhouse gift cards, there's no reason to do a local version of SportsCenter, or Gas/Beer/Weed Money, whatever. Just show new games, replays of the new games, and old games. If there are still hours to fill, grab those puff pieces the teams produce on their websites and run those. There's no reason to run these channels as full-fledged broadcasting outlets because no one cares. It'll be interesting to see how much new Cubs-adjacent programming Marquee ends up not producing.
