Chicago Fanatics Message Board :: View topic - caller to l holmes, monday night

I did not get the name of the caller to L. Holme's show about 1 hour before the sox game monday night (about 8:30 PM), but I have to chime in with a tip of the cap to whomever it was.

This guy called in and absolutely pasted Holmes with a cross examination that would do Clarence Darrow proud.

the caller focused on the Kenny Williams, Peavy and Alex Rios flap with respect to Holmes and his bluster about the peavy trade and Laurence had nothing in response.

some of the highlights from Holmes replies to this callers questions

"Do you just not like me then or something"

Holmes then tries to turn the conversation to the Bears (something Holmes has experience about), the caller basically made it seem that Holmes position is that Cowley is reporting conjecture (that Holmes will deny the credibility of due to the fact that GMs lie and use local media to market their moves or the perception that they are making or trying to make moves; however Holmes would not call out Cowley on that).

Holmes didnt have the sack to put those questions to Kenny Williams (who had just been on the show). Holmes tried to have it both ways (to be the skeptical sports media guy (a la Boers and Bernsy), but when Kenny gave him access on the fan zone or whatever they call that show, he couldnt help himself and had to kiss Kennys ass and became the typical fawningn new guy in sports media.

The caller did an excellent job of pointing out his hypocracy and I have to say that it was great radio in that you could imagine Holmes squirming as the caller pasted his ass.

In the end, after the call ended, holmes says

"you might thing you got me there, but you didnt"

hey Holmes, who are you crappin, that caller pasted your ass

It would have been a total waste of time to try to grill KW on something that was the basis of his being on the show that night. I actually give LW credit for not going the easy way & hanging up on him.

If you don't want any PM's you better help Nas find something else to do then.

There is a reason Holmes does not have a show and never keeps a show. He is boring! he admits he is boring! He says he is a geek! He didn't have a drink until he was 22! He stills reads comic books! To each his own, but the king of the "Race in Sports" show is a beat reporter at best, no matter how many hours and chances Mitch Rosen gives this guy.

He shouldn't even be a beat reporter. Hell, he shouldn't even be a board op.

This is kind of off topic, but I was listening to drinky's show last night, and he had on some damn decent callers who were comfortable and had some well thought out ideas... why can't the score get those callers during the week?
