He just talks relevant sports. No nonsense. No apologies for being a fan. Friendly with callers.

Is he great? Hell no. But he has grown on me.

So my jock is safe from a Kap intrusion. I guess it's better than talking about pet snakes.

He wasn't sniffing Forte's jock earlier this year:

I'd rather listen to Bernsie spend two hours teaching us that that one girl from Precious is indeed both fat and ugly. But that's just me.

Kap did this all on his own. he started his own media biz from nothing and got gigs from it.

Kap coached NIU hoop, astt coach, but was in a program

Kap will not drop a 'where did you play?" in an attempt to denegrate a caller.

Kap doesnt giggle after every comment.

4-0 KAP Easily wins.....

Kap does buddy up, but seems to be able to not have guys hate him at the same time. North could do it as well.

Hub's ass licking of some players ...Jimmy Harbaugh to name one, is an unreal level. Jimmy is a friend, not just a football coach anymore.....Yet, Jimmy would call Hub some writer he knew when he played in Chicago.

Kap doesn't cackle enough. I caught five minutes and nary a console pound.

In my opinion Murph & Fred would have been a better choice for the noon-2PM timeslot.

Yes. He also was nice enough to show up at a CSFMB sanctioned bowling event.

I was a guy in my earlier days who would ridicule Fred so much here that he declared he hated me on the air but I am kind of on Team Fred these days.

That's sweet. I wish his last name started with a P instead of an H.

I had been saying for a while that the Score needed to split up middays into 9-noon and noon-2. Seems like with the Cubs going to 670, Kaplan would have been perfect for a noon-2 show that could act as a de facto Cubs pregame on most days. It would also mean lopping an hour off Spiegel & Goff and one off American #brandstand in afternoons. Ya dun goofed, Mitch.

My dad was an assistant with NIU football when Kap was doing basketball there. He still keeps in touch and has nothing but nice things to say about him.

Is Kap sort of an ass kisser? Yes. Is he a meatball homer? Yes... but he actually discusses sports, knows how to conduct an interview, and can facilitate a conversation (on Comcast, at least). He's fine by me. It's amazing how low the bar has been set, but it is what it is.

Author:  Curious Hair [ Wed Oct 07, 2015 5:56 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: Tip of the Kap

Yeah, Kap is easy to make sport of, but he's not actively terrible or a complete idiot. Again, low bar.

This is a dismal day. To think we have come to this, where a Dave Kaplan, Mr. Milquetoast, the blandest of the bland, can be heralded on a sports radio message board. I do agree he is competent. Not going to take anything away from the guy's hustle but this speaks more to lack of entertainment in this town than any talent Kaplan has. It's almost enough to make a grown man weep.

Isn't the lengthy lead-up to the game more of a thing with football rather than baseball where there are 162 games?

For a 1:20 first pitch, coverage usually starts around 12:45, so we're just talking 45 minutes of Kap before the Cubs. It could be Cubs talk if necessary.

Yeap standards are low. Boers is lazy. Bernsie's a jerk. Mac is an update guy. Spiegs is whiney. Larry is weird. ESPN is too vanilla. So Kap it is.

Kap has some abominable opinions, but in these Cubdom times we live in I could understand tuning in to him versus Giggles and Jiggles.
