Post subject:  Finji- weak effort!
Finji and generic Score fill in guy, talking about the Bears issue with the headphones for 30 minutes this morning.

Finji wore the joke pretty thin, I send him the text that the giveaway at the Bears game tonight will be 40,000 inflateable imitation headsets.

So now Finji has the choice to go with my text, which is real info, and pretty ironic and fits perfectly into the conversation or continue to suggest IPads on Garza's ASS!

Yes, he chose to work the next 2 minutes with the IPad on the Ass idea!

Nice Larry Like effort Fin!

I don't find Ben Finfer very entertaining at all as a host. He also dismisses callers and doesn't like when people disagree with him. Where's the over-the-top outrage for him?

Someone has to care enough to be outraged.

This guy really is just bad. Not bad in a way you ever want to post about him, though! LOL

To me, it sounds like he has something jammed in his mouth when he speaks. He also doesn't convey any unique opinions, it seems like he is just recapping what the regular hosts have said. I find him to be annoying, and I am never able to listen to more than a few minutes once I tune in and hear he's the one hosting.

Is there some rule that producers can't just be producers, in radio? Is every one of them an aspiring on-air guy?

As Jason Goff says, 'keep it' (in regard to Ben Finfer as a host)! LOL!

Didn't notice the dismissive thing until Sunday, yes, I t was before I sent in my text.

Someone did enjoy listening to his own sports views a little too much. Someone needs to remember he is doing "A show" and not trying to pass a test in radio 101. This can go for most hosts.

I thought you were going to take him to task for allowing ZZ to blame the Bears getting plays called quickly on the chain gang.

Which would make for some GREAT sports talk radio.

SOME forget that while I want information from my sports talk, there is only so much info to talk about, after that would rather hear funny, stupid, etc for most of the show, entertain me! Dance Monkeys!

Wanna give me one reporting INISDE SPORTS type of radio show, once a week, ok,

So you're mad Finji didnt think your joke was funny?

And Larry probably preps better for his show than anyone on the SCORE so your last statement is really a compliment.

Was not a funny joke, was a VERY relevant fact that the host could use easily and turn into a joke, even though it was real.

And Larry can prepare all he wants, it's still bad.

Neither entertain.

So now you're going to hold a grudge against Finji because he dismissed your text?

I dont think he's been on enough or regular enough to judge him as a host.

Thank you for admitting you were wrong about Laurence's preperation.

If Irish Boy ever gets a radio show he should keep that in mind.

Not going to hold a grudge, but going to call him out on some bad fill in shows. He uses the whole 2-4 hours he gets to just talk and talk. He takes a call or 2, and dumps them quick and spends 15 mins responding to them.

Never once questioned Larry's preparation. You can prepare for the Bar Exam all you want, you still might not pass it.

I wasn't referring to anything but Irish Boy's desire to be on the radio. They aren't related.

I've been mostly MIA the last 5 days, what was deleted?

And how can anyone be shocked that Finji put in a weak effort? He works for Mac. He's learned laziness from the best.

IB is very private. He probably asked that it be taken down.

He posted some big shot "well I know Mitch" but said I was a dick (true) and a liar (lulwat). I said I wouldn't want to do a show if it meant kissing his dumb ass. Thread deleted, and scene. I think I'm about done.

Censorship causes another poster to continue leaving. Time to trot out the chorus of its BigFan's board and he can do what ever he wants posters rushing to tell us why even mentioning this is terrible.

It would suck to lose another sports radio host on this board. We barely survived without Mac.

Wouldn't blame you. Not allowing someone to respond to an insult (made by bigfan) is ridiculous, even for bigfan...

Is this serious? It doesn't seem in character.

BigFan: Hmmm it would help if someone who knew Mitch could put in a good word.

Sometimes its not wise to be a dick and a liar

Irish Boy: Id never take it, if it meant kissing your dumb ass.

GONE
