Fred Huebner just said on AM1000 that Murph has retired effective immediately. That sucks.

Great passionate Cubs talk through the years. Did a complete reversal being a Maddon apologist though. Shame he didn't participate in score specials and anniversaries. He holds a vendetta for life. Fred seemed pissed when he announced it.

Yeah Murph does have his issues but will miss his opinions. I heard him last week saying he was the longest tenured guy on Chicago sports radio

I don't know about that, or what he meant by "tenured." Grobber is clocking in at about 40 years.

i listened to Murph a lot when he was on in the mornings. Much more entertaining and better looking than Bernstein

Did you ever suck his cock?

You sound jealous.

I love when the producer would piss Murph off and he'd demand they go to break. I'm sure Murph had a hissy fit, then he'd gain his composure after break. I've listened to Murph since the Saturday afternoon wls days. Got to remember this is before the score and all there was was fake wgn cubs talk, 4-6 afternoon Harvey local (mostly sox) with pre score callers and a few night guys here and there .Would that be a must listen if Murph and the guys buried the hatchet and he did the score like Terry does talking old score.

Very odd this week Les talked about Murph which he usually never does. He must know something. Les was tool of the week way back and still has the hammer he won.

So nobody yet knows what is up with Murph?

I have limited exposure to him. My one take away about him is that he was part of the worst Score line up this century: Mully and Hanley, Hamp and Holmes, Murph, and then Boers & Bernstein.

Was it worse than having North in the morning and Telander in the afternoon? That one was pretty bad, but almost entirely due to Hamp and Holmes.

What did Les have to say about Murph?

A caller brought up "tool of the week" and Les talked about it for awhile which he never talks about anyone currently on espn 1000.

Fred- You may have noticed I'm am here today, by myself, because my guy Mike Murphy has decided, at this time, to hang up his headphones. So we'll keep going, going forward.

Fred and Shuster are the last of the Mohicans of original score guys as we stand now on the air. Les just kills time talking about yesteryear. Mac is saddled with Parkins and tied at the hip to the Cubs thus unable to speak freely about a huge topic. Early score gofers Speigel and Larry are unlistenable.

I always listen to Fred if he's subbing if I get the chance. Saturdays first hour had some great Bear's topics, and points made by callers, and Dan Weiderer. The Murph update is about 25.00 https://podcasts.google.com/?feed=aHR0c ... kRuMlk0MGE
