This is on the Mac, Jurko and Harry board, but I thought I would copy it over here:

"A couple of you have expressed curiosity over Murphy and Ogulnick.

"Here's a new game I play if I'm still in the car at 12:05ish. Predict which former athlete will be the first name I hear roll off of Murphy's tongue when I punch into his show, already in progress. Will it be Roosevelt Taylor, Bears CB from the '60s? Will it be Tom Boerwinkle, Bulls big man in the '70s? Leo Durocher, is that you? Bill Madlock? Murph entertained me in the early days of the Score. I liked the bells and whistles ("celebrity line ringin'!"). Let me be really candid here. That show sucks. He hasn't evolved at all. It's the same show I was listening to more than a dozen years ago. He doesn't deal well at all with callers who disagree with him. He doesn't complete his thought (when he has one). He's living in a time warp. He's brutal on his producers. He lives to be unhappy. I hate the prick and think his show is 100% weekend material. The fact he has a piece of a major station between 6 a.m. and 7 p.m. is a statement on how thin the talent pool is."

SOLID!

Mac just listed every reason I hate Murph.

wonder if it will be on his "yellow pad of notes"

Some of his points might be correct but the conclusion is incorrect. I would not want Murph in either drive time but he has a good show (I do admit I have not heard much of it since he moved to mid days as I have a job).

By the way, Mac was proud that he is in the office and working on his show three hours before they go on the air every day. I'm not a math major but that would mean he gets in at noon, which is when Murph's show begins. How does he have time to listen.

And you guys thought I was the only one who thinks Murph's a POS!!!!

We didn't think that at all actually. We always thought that you were a former producer of Murph's.

Are you?

Nope. Just one of the many who think this POS should be off the air.

Murph SHOULD be off the air. I won't comment on the way he treats people, but just as a casual listener of the Score, his show is awful.

I agree good dolphin, the show's not perfect but it's not a pile of crap either. I'm looking forward to the new time slot once baseball season starts. I admit I don't listen to him much during the winter and haven't heard him in the new slot yet.

Love the new avatar 24_Guy. That Lynch/Levine moment was one of the best soundbites ever. It's right up there with Lee Elia's rant. Man, that Levine sure comes off as a smarmy, little weasel.

Yeah I saw you mention that sound clip in another thread, and it inspired me. I still don't know where Ed Lynch stands on the subject of purpose pitches.

Try listening (for any five minute random segment) to his current show, and I think you'll understand the recent Muph-bashing. I did find him more tolerable during his five-hour evening shift, but the two-hour mid-day slot brings out the worst in him.
