And where's Ed Asner?
I'm write here, yo. Just waiting in the weeds, waiting for my opportunity. This board, while on the surface may seem like a good fit for my anti-Hood stuff, is just more of the same, with the exception of you, SP, not going after everyone for the lack of pigmentation in their skin.
Hood is a fraud - and he does lift shit and take way too many liberties from other hosts, and writers. The guy also likes to listen in on sports talk shows from other markets on the internet and likes to copy them as well. He thinks he's fooling the listener.
Maybe this is how on-air personalities develop their own style, I don't know. Seems to me that your ceiling would be pretty low if you got to the point where you were essentially a really good mimic of others. Seems to me the personalities that make it (ie get nice contracts, nice time periods, nice ratings, etc.) bring in their own style, and mix in other influences - Hood, AND I'VE SAID THIS A MILLION TIMES, has never been able to tell the listener who he is - is he someone with a sense of humor? Is he a southside hatin' black man? Is he ebonically-challenged? Is he gonna fall for the banana in the tail pipe?
I'll take the OG over Hood any day.
