Some of you people are heartless bastards. Here is one radio host who has no choice but to take some emergency time off to fix a personal health issue, and another who has to take some emergency time off to deal with family issues, and yet opportunistic Internet trolls come out of the woodwork on this site and elsewhere to kick these men while they are down. Unreal. No wonder message boards get a bad wrap.

One of the most thankless jobs in radio is a sports talk show host. No matter what you say or do, there will always be hundreds of people who will hate you with a passion and bad mouth you. If you play it safe & boring, listeners will say you are horrible and have no backbone. If you put yourself out there and voice your opinion, half of the listeners will have the opposite opinion and say you are horrible. There is not one single sports talk show host on the air right now that everybody would agree is decent. Every single one raises emotions and brings out the worst in message board denizens. No matter what they do, a radio sports talker is damned if they do, damned if they don't.

These people on the radio are human beings. They have personal lives which they need to tend to from time to time, just like everybody else. They have children and spouses and family members that love them for who they are. They have qualities and they have failings just like everybody else. It's one thing to say you don't care for their show or something they may have said. It's another to get as personal as some of the posts have been. (Including the one deleted post from an a-hole who thought it would be funny if one of these radio hosts was dead. Nice.)

If you want to wish these guys well as they take care of what they have to take care of, good for you. That means you had a Mother who taught you manners at some point in your life. If you don't want to wish them well, that's your right, too. Use some common sense, though

He has his own membership here. I'm pretty sure Irving Park Tom is not Larz.

You can never be certain in this day and age. Lots of creeps and weirdo's bandying about playing "internet hero".

I think Larz DID post on here as himself about 2-3 years back.

Can we get a telethon going for the downtrodden major market sports radio hosts?


Can Sarah McGlauchlin do something for them?


Which group has been most persecuted?
Cub Fans
Blacks
Jews
Women
Gays
Sports Radio Hosts

I dislike many, but hate few.

None that I hate are on the radio though.

LARRY. HOWROWITZ. HAS. ZERO. INSIDE. INFORMATION.

Larz sucks

Larz' site is terrible

Larz is like that guy in the office that continues to "reply all" telling folks to knock it off when a mass email is sent to the wrong distribution list.

We would all be better off if Larz jammed his head in an oven.

A guy like Larz probably has many lists. You are probably now on one of them.
