Agreed, he is good in small doses.

Yes, I listened to the clip. It was 100% passive aggressive by Kap. Just say you saw him.

Forgot what movie, but some guy who used to make a lot of money was working as a pizza delivery guy or something and one of the character asked why he was doing it, his answer was something like "Still a millionaire, I deliver pizza's because I am for eccentric kicks" or something like that.

I'm planning on working a bullshit job like that for 6-8 hours a week when I retire. Three reasons:
1. I'm getting paid to get my exercise
2. I can fund my hobbies with it. 4 hours of work equals a round of golf. 40 hours of work equals a new driver.
3. I get to get out of the house. Would be more important if I didn't live alone.

My dad still worked 15 hours a week in his late 70s, he stopped working at 82. He said he did it for the meager paycheck, but he did it for being around the customers.

Yeah, Rosenbloom is in his mid-60s, he's probably drawing on the IRA by now. He doesn't seem like someone who just thrives on being around people, though, does he?

Assuming he’s not 65 yet, he may be doing it for the insurance - plain and simple.

Every time, no matter what time of day I drive past, our Trader Joe's has a line out the door. I assume in the pandemic they are either letting people shop one at a time like they are Britney Spears or the pandemic requires the far superior dark chocolate peanut butter cups they sell to cope.

Theyre of the belief that 50 people or less in the store is safe. Just dont eat indoors at the restaurant next door. Thats dangerous.

It's starting to seem like you may be against the indoor dining ban.

I would think that Kap, of all people, would respect someone trying to grind out a living and would be the kind of guy who found dignity in all work.

I agree. If Rosie didn't want this to be known, shame on Kap for mentioning it. And obviously Rosie didn't want it to be known. Because nobody knew I assume. I mean publicly.

There is no shame in it. It's the opposite. It's noble that Rosie is doing a job to make a few bucks since media turned him away. At his age, he can't do much more than this. Which is fine.

But I think Kap mentioned it to kind of humiliate Rosie. I think that makes him a dick.

Yeah. I've always thought Kaplan is an ass hole. I'm betting everybody that works with him or comes in contact with him thinks the same.

Not Kap.

He forgot how and where he started a long time ago.

He started out as a street scout that Chet used to have on his show. I think he was in Hoop Dreams.

The bigger he got, the more he forgot. Not uncommon though.

I'm pretty sure he was an assistant at NIU, maybe on McDougal's staff.

I think that's one thing that rubs me the wrong way about Kap: in his mind he really did hit it big. Meanwhile he's maybe upper middle class in his industry and less than that in the real world. I appreciate his work ethic and I've come to like his work a little more his personality would be grating. He's the kind of guy who gives you a nickname the first time he meets you and then tells everyone that you're his good friend.

seeing this thread made me dig through some old files and find this segment i clipped & recorded, and added some music to it...it was back when MJH were being ripped by Sean Salisbury about his Dallas Mavericks.

that show (salisbury/rosenbloom) was earsplittingly bad.

https://soundcloud.com/krymestone/mjh-on-sean-salisbury-jan07

(if you're wondering about the musical selections, i'm pretty sure i cut this late on a friday or saturday night...and my state of mind was probably a bit, ah, off?)

Fuck that man. You don't joke about a guy on the balls of his ass so badly that he's forced to work for minimum wage in his 60s. That's tragic, not funny and we could all be in the same position if things broke wrong. Rosenbloom is pretty good in the mechanics of writing with good academic credentials and a very good professional resume. If it can happen to him, it can happen to anyone. There's a lot of people's industries that won't outlive their need to work.

I rarely disagree with you, but eff him. He's not much different from Jay Mariotti--a real flip-flopper. I've been in similar situations as Rosie, and it sucks, but he'll live. He was acerbic the way Terry Boers used to be in the Trib, but not funny. He was going after Wanny ten years later. He also ripped on Paul Konerko after his first two years in Chicago (both successful years), and I think that's what pisses me off the most.

(A few minutes pass.) God damnit. You are right.

I like the point you are making here. It is tragic. And now I feel pretty bad. Actually, the more I think about it, the worse I feel. I'd erase my comments above if it weren't for his blindness on Konerko. But yeah, I feel bad for the guy, and anyone in that position.

See, this is why I come here--for the pricks and prods to my conscience and rhetorical acumen. (Pricks probably isn't best word.) The opportunities for such growth are limited in today's society once you leave school--if you go to a good one, that is. (And yes, I'm being serious.)

Like I said earlier I only listened to Kap a handful of times. This was before he was on with Hood.

He was telling a story about walking on lake shore drive and getting yelled at by strangers to pick him up. Or someone picked him up and drove him.

The guy was so self absorbed while telling the story. It was meaningless other than saying LOOK HOW GREAT I AM, OTHERS STOPPED FOR ME OFFERING ME A RIDE.

probably never happened.
