have the fucking hosts do the updates. i just saved the score 50k.

Since Hood was able to beg his way back to his old job I was thinking about George.

He could have gone back to the Score. Maybe they didn't want him. It was still open 4 or 5 weeks ago. But it looks like they gave the morning update job to Kerry Sayers. She's been doing it for 3 straight weeks. She's probably cheaper than what George was but I'll bet George would have taken a pay cut to get his old job back.

George, had he stayed, would have taken a large cut in pay.

Yep.

George, had he stayed, would have taken a large cut in pay.

Amazing to me that offman still gets booked as a "reporter" on Tribune Live - he doesn't report anymore, he is an ex reporter and has no access or insight tan any other non reporter would have

Ofman, in his delusional world, still thinks Pappy is gonna set up Webio II. He said it was the "Perfect Model" even though webio only made $2,300 in 3 months.

This guy always carried himself on air like some sort of financial wizard...expert on the budgets of the Tribune Company and Jerry Reinsdorf....he won't be doing the books for North's next Hot Dog stand.

Reporters can earn extra cash as a "stringer" for out of town teams in Chicago. Rather than send a reporter of their own, they will pay a guy like George, or Schuster 25-50 bucks per game to file a report for them. I don't know if George is doing this, but he may be.

No wonder North is viewed as the Donald Trump of Sportsradio to some of these guys.

Good point. How many times would he say "It's not financially possible" when talking Cubs or Sox. He can't apply that finance logic to a business he's been in for 25 years. He doesn't know how his own industry works? He really is a dumb ass.

what skill level does it take to be an update reader? read scores. update results by looking at computer. read updated scores. have the fucking hosts do the updates. i just saved the score 50k.

even better idea, how bout just get rid of updates altogether? In this day and age of readily accessible information are 3x an hour updates even necessary anymore? I would say just do them 2x an hour during the morning because that is when people are most likely to not have heard the news yet and then stop doing them altogether after about 11am.

they do updates purely to sell a sponsership of the update

I think some folks like to hear the scores also. Mostly older folks

He pissed me off totally when in his smug know it all way he was intimating that Konerko was gone to the Angels...this little know nothing Ofman couldn't carry Bruce Levine's tape recorder.
Levine is a reporter's reporter....Ofman is a Sportsphone Quickie Quiz refugee.
