A guy asked him about it on the air. Les said this isn't the place to talk about it, not denying it. This shows how influenced hosts are in Cubs subject matter by fear of the Cubs. Les was opinionated a little in the past on crazy Joe and the Cubs. Certainly not now. He's like a scared turtle going back in its shell. Sure it's the same for other hosts and may be why Hanley got demoted.

This is all much ado about nothing. The Score is not influenced and dominated by the Cubs. :lol:

Are you insinuating that the fans haven't demanded the wall to wall coverage the Score has provided of the Cubs starting their own network that won't take affect until the 2020 season?

All I will say is a lot of the time it seems for people that are not Cub fans listening to the score is difficult. Almost like being in a different town stuck with a local sports station talking about something foreign to you.

Cmon bud. You can talk a great deal of winning Cubs without the cock sucking minutiae. Like tell me what a great pick up Murphy is and how he is sparking a timely run into the playoffs. Not about some other stupid thing with Len Kasper's 5th weekly appearance or some other crap about nothing.

I don't dispute covering winning baseball. I do dispute over covering a corporate move.

next up, we will have our unbiased baseball expert who also happens to be employed by a team talk about whatever topic he would like regarding baseball because he is a league wide expert

Pretty sure Murphy doesn't like that either.

Sort of like their lack of Blackhawks coverage all year round .

Les should be thankful he's been cashing checks as a radio host on a regular basis for 30+ years. He is terrible, overnights or otherwise. His main selling point as a host is that he's supposed to be a treasure trove of random facts, but people often point out his recollections are incorrect and a he got destroyed by Shepkowski in that trivia contest.

Yea, his best quality is that he's willing to work 10pm-5am.

His voice quality is decent, I guess.

The guy is pushing 70 years old and working the graveyard shift. Anyone's memories would be foggy under those conditions.

He should be enjoying himself. Maybe work a little here or there. I think he's 66 still doing side jobs @ AP doing ncaacf updates. He can't enjoy talking to crazies overnight.

You have to think that Shepkowski had the advantage of doing the contest during daylight hours.

3 ex-wives may have depleted his retirement fund. Also, it's hard to say how he feel these days but this was what he said when he 1st got the job...
"I've never been happier," says Grobstein. "I do my show from 1 to 5:30. I go home, get some sleep, get up around one, go cover whoever's in town, and get back to the studio to go on the air. This way I never miss a game."

Les is enjoying himself. He, above everyone else, realizes he is being paid to do things must of us aspire to do in our retirement. It's a sick minded fuck who thinks he will never watch sports again once he retires.

all of the above. I never listened to Les until this last year due to a second job, and the guy is really nothing of what he's sold as. Random memories, but not a trivia buff. He's borderline unlistenable, and I've tried. Good guy though, clearly.

He's a shell of what he once was, during his first run at the Score he was great. But it's still better than the most likely alternative which is whatever the hell CBS Sports Radio runs overnights.

Having listened to overnight radio for years, Les is easily the best of anyone doing it over the last two decades
