The McNight and Finfer departures means he finally gets his chance. It's "Herb and Shep" right now. |

Señor should write about the Score's fixation with the "next man up" philosophy. |

Herb is a good guy that I think got caught up in something bad. Leary had the chance to bring another person he can call part of his tree and bam...Herbs career is over. |

Herb is a good guy. I talked to him for a good two hours yesterday before the Bulls game. |

They're dead to me. All those guys." Maybe that type of loyalty just got its reward! lol LOL, I'm sure they care about that, they are getting their chance and got raises. TFB, Herb, you're stuck. LOL |

I like Herb on the radio and glad he is getting a shot. But I cannot stand Herb on social media and his blind lovefest for Illinois. |

So, why doesn't he post here any more? He was giving it to us pretty good as palehose. He seemed to enjoy giving his thoughts. |

Herb said on the show today that he was sick and tired of the guy he was talking to for 2 hours yesterday. Said he wanted to be polite so he didn't say anything. But was hoping it would end and it ended up going 2 hours. Just said it was some stupid Score fan. Never gave his name. Doug:

C'mon, Spmack, you couldn't tell I was messing with Doug? If you're drinking that's cool. Otherwise, you need to be sharper. |

A guy hangs out with you guys at a bar for a bulls game and he is all good. well hey man, when you actually get to hang out with the person and not the brand/product/show it's a whole different ballgame and thus you get an insight into the person bloviating into the microphone and usually that person doesn't live up to the wizard-of-oz style magnanimous buildup that their "radio persona" might give you and they typically turn out to be pretty cool guys who don't afraid of their great unwashed audience (well except for amattacola; you get the vibe/aura from him that he's kind of pretty much a really big deal and you're annoying him by seeking an audience with his excellency. oh wait nevermind he's "drinky" and thus just one of the guys at the bar, how soon i forget...) i never really had any strong throughts about hrrrbbbb either way, but having a chance to have hung out with him at a bulls game talking buckets/score/life while we were watching the game, yeah he's a good dude and thus he's gonna always have the "yeah i got to hang with him once and he's a good dude" label hanging over him for the rest of his life. he's personable and thoughtful (or in b&bspeak: he has sports/thoughts) and easy to get along with. you could do a hell of a lot worse than letting him develop his on-air skills via some dead-ass/fill-in shifts via weeknights/weekends. not to mention that sunday afternoon ~10-2/ish slot is the one that i affectionately refer to as "radio siberia." you're way the hell out there doing your thing @ a time where most people 1) horribly hung-over/half-asleep/vociferously-lazy and they're at church, at brunch, or some sort of social function and thus they're not likely to sit there and listen to you for anything longer than ~30mins, whereas with your typical "prime time" sports show people are either at work or having a day off (on the links or otherwise) and thus are more prone to listening to your show/s longform, so they're going to ease into the "vibe" and "feel"of it all as opposed to having a small sample size of cafeteria/style listening. so yeah, on those sunday shifts you're only going to hear ~15-20mins at a time and since they're one step away from flipping the switch to some guy with a HARRRRRRIBLE boston/NYC/east-coast accent on * jingle * CBS SPORTS RAY-DEEEEEEEE-OHHHHHHHHHHHH, yeah, it doesn't really matter who you have hosting as long as they're local and they have a pulse (which automatically excludes steven berger (live on the score) right there) then you're doing alright. and if that's the state of mind, well what the hell why not hrrrbbbb and pals? if they bring over any of that #AskHerb stuff (which i reckon they'd have to pay to license from THE LAWRENCE HOLMES SHOW COLON AKA THE PEOPLE'S SHOW) then it's all the better, because really there's only everything to gain and nothing to lose when you're dealing with radio siberia. if hrrrbbbb can do something memorable to catch the attention of the sporadic listeners and/or his bosses and then set himself up for better shifts/career/$$$/life/etc, then god bless him and do ya thang miister e-surr-nall. or shit what's his name on here? something about palehose or at least whitesox related, right? |
