Y-y-y-y'know, I'll tell ya, th-th-th-that's a tough listen.

Scintillating opening topic, too. Are Sox fans watching the Cubs and vice versa.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.

It's not really fair to judge a show from a quick listen. Life's not fair.

From listening to the last half hour, I never thought I'd say it but it's a better show with just Larry.

- Hampton needs a 20 second head-start to get a sentence out. I know he's always been a bit of a stutterer but this was out of control. I don't know if he's nervous or what.

- Hampton = too many cliches and his depth of knowledge in non-football sports seems shallow.

- Danimal reminds me of a cross between John Madden and Ron Santo.

Still one of my favorite players though. Just brutal on the radio.

Perhaps there is an operation he could undergo to improve his performance. That always worked in the old playing days.

if their plan was to torpedo their own show, (and perhaps the Score is planning on doing just that) they're off to a great start...

One of the truly epic horrible shows of all time...all time. They did better shows in the stone age...actually thats what it sounded like...the paleozoic. I agree Larry is better by himself...just don't turn on the transmitter. Let him hear it and play M&H again for the listeners. Larry must be humiliated and Hampton must be looking for something to drag into the cave.

If LH has to put up with shows like what I heard for very long, he's going to become a sympathetic character for me real quickly.

He will not be doing well.

Larry was pathetic by himself! We are judging Ho against Hamton and that's not the point. Alone they are terrible together they are God AWFUL

You're right, it was stone age. At one point, I swear I heard a commercial for those big Brontosaurus ribs that Fred Flinstone gets at the drive-in . . . then again, Hampton did the read, so I'm not totally sure what it was for.

Nothing like stealing a topic from the Webber/Rock show from the day before. Way to go Larry, way to be original.

We've heard Urkel on the Score for years. He's always sucked. He shows no signs of improvement, and he never will.
We've heard enough of Hampton on WGN and doing Chevy commercials over the years. Between the two, we've had enough stool samples to be able to successfully predict this show was going to blow ass.

That'll be enough time for Hampton to stammer and stutter through two sentences, and Urkel will be able to explain what the Pulse is twice.

it's beyond uncomfortable
B&B won't even make fun of it
LARRY has to swoop in to save a co-host
even the radio reads that hamp does sound stilted
a half hour has seemed like 5 hrs.

Yup. Had me reaching for the dial pretty quickly.

Another one for the "What were they thinking?" category.

Hampton is my all time favorite bear, but he makes Joe Cain sound like a life long radio guy. If this last 8 months, I will be stunned.

You mean, like over at WGN? Until they opted not to renew him? Yep.

Holmes hasn't said a word, and he had ZERO input. He's just glad to finally have a show.
"Holmes, a 10-year veteran of the Score, has been a Bears reporter and fill-in host."

Obviously you don't listen to talk radio topics get talked about all the time. If you don't like the show, don't like it but at least have a good reason :?

Is it just me, or does Dan Hampton stutter like John Melendez used to do on the "Howard Stern Show"? He can't seem to get a complete sentence out without stuttering. Listen to Hampton try to talk and you'll know what I mean...

Been busy during the days lately, thus have not heard enough to bash a bear great, but sounds like they may be stuck in a some trouble.

This is an oppurtunity for Radio greatness for Laurence. Turn this into a good show and you have done something.
