If it means anything to you, Laurence Holmes is actually on vacation from his 670 The SCORE evening show starting Tuesday, which coincides with the Bears being on their bye week. Thankfully, when LoHo does take off next week, Hub Arkush and other guys who will be sitting in from 6-10p won't be doing "The Subliminal Song of the Night", the senseless cross-promotion with CBS2's Ryan Baker and the idiotic coughing remix, plus "The People's Hour". I think you'll also be spared that "Family Guy" soundbite about Wisconsin girls, too.

Scorehead must still be pissed at Ricketts because this is about the place where he would suggest North and Jiggetts or Mike Murphy.

I would love to hear Murph every night rather than LoHo.

I miss Murph. Murph was just alright with me.

you know, now that i step back and think about it i totally agree with you. say what you will about murph, but the guy was genuine. there's definitely some of that grobber aura to his show. i remember calling up one night suggesting that the cubs take a flier on troy percival for their bullpen (which i believe tampa ended up doing) and i dropped a few stats and a few opinions (i was trained at a course in THE BRAND wing of the chicago sports talk radio caller hall of fame, no less) and murph engaged me for a followup question or two before thanking me and telling me to call again.

now i do realize this is just some dumb throwaway shit; one guy calling one sports talk show with a host who more than likely somewhat pandered to him in a hope that he would illicit this reaction out of me and possibly develop a new regular listener... but hey, i mean, he certainly wasn't coming from some cold aloof place where you had to "step your game up" to battle wits with the mighty majestic murph. he was just taking calls and encouraging the listener to contribute to the show. i think that's pretty good fare for an evening sports talk show, cuz by the time you get to the evening shift the day's newscycle has been beaten to death by the morning/midday/drivetime shows whose hosts have their thing going on, and more often than not it's kind of like you're pigenholed as to where they've set the topic in stone and you're either going to agree or disagree with them before they move on to something else. i'm not saying that's necessarily a bad thing, however, if you've had the radio on / in-the-background all day long it's a bit tedious to get 4 more hours of the same show that preceded it, especially when laurence decides to kiss some burn-stine ass and do CONCUSSION RADIO.

let it be engraved in digital stone for future generations of alien invaders to discover: concussion radio makes me want to turn on b96 and like it. that says something. /me runs off to go start a mp3 player thread in the RIP section...

Another vote here for Murph. I listened to about 30 seconds of Loho and that was enough for me. I wonder how Murph's lawsuit is going?

I like Larry and think its the perfect time slot for him

I could see not liking him though. I listen to laugh, if you want hardcore sports talk, Larry doesnt cut it.


Personally I dont get listening to sports radio for actual sports info, with all the better options on the web and so forth.

I honestly get this perspective but I don't think LoHo is funny even in a wow he is so ridiculous he is hilarious kind of way. I laughed much more at Murph's expense than I do at LoHo. I listen to sports radio to be entertained and listening to Holmes just makes me aggrivated so I don't listen. In my perfect world the Score would fire Zaidman and then move Holmes back to the Bears beat and then they could give the evening slot to Goff.
