If you honestly think this is the only way you can replace Boers eventually, it's sad.

Please do not even joke about Larry replacing Boers.

Who's joking?

Rozner works well with Spiegs.

I guess that could work. Who drives that show, though? I'm just not sure anyone at the station thinks of Rozner as a full-timer.

Unfortunately, I think he'd be a favorite. There's really not much to choose from if they gave him a partner. I can't believe Goff would get a job like that, he's much better dropping in on that show with a dumb joke. I doubt they are hiring from outside when the time comes.

Goff won't get it. He's basically the 3rd host on the afternoon show right now on a producer's salary. Mitch's attitude: Why buy the cow when you get the milk for free. In my opinion, Goff is spoiled milk anyway.

Drink has no chance in hell. His bitter, angry, pissy attitude has gotten worse over the last few years. They're not gonna reward that. Bernstein wouldn't allow it. Drink wouldn't be good anyway.

Rozner and Rosie have an outside chance cuz Bernstien likes them for the obvious reason.

We're most likely trending towords a Larry and Bernstein pairing if and when Boers dies or retires. The only thing that would upset that is if Mitch gets fired. A new GM wouldn't like Larry and he'd have his own plans anyway. He'd want to make his own mark on the station. Get away from "Bernstein radio" and the "Bernstein clones". Most likely a new GM would have friends in the business that he'd want to hook up. So it's pretty much a race the way I see it. If Terry out lasts Mitch, Larry won't get the afternoon show.

I think it's tragically clear that Larry will replace Boers. Mitch loves him, and I don't know that a Dan solo show could work long-term. The best pairing would be McNeil and Bernstein, but then what do you do middays? You can't hand the gig to anyone but Larry because of seniority, and a Spiegel/Larry pairing is dead weight.

He wouldn't be dumb like North and say fuck you if they lowballed him.

They'd have to know better than to give Larry another major daypart, right?

Larry is a weed. A radio cockroach. He's been there forever. He wouldn't be dumb like North and say fuck you if they lowballed him. Holmes knows the limits of his talents quite well I suspect. He has no family to support so he could afford to take any droppings the station might toss his way if Rosen left. Isn't Murph the only long time guy they axed? He was basically a pariah at the station by that point and was hated by the station's swinging dick Dan Bernstein. I'm sure Dan looks down upon Larry but probably has a minor iota of affection for him since he is a complete sycophant. Goff and Drinky will try to argue with Dan and undermine him while Larry just wipes his chin and swallows.

Wow.

Wow.

Yeah, Mac/Spiegs and Bernstein/Rozner end up being the best divisions of labor when it comes to sports coverage, with each complementing the other's weaknesses (except I'm not convinced Bernstein is much of a football guy no matter how much he says the Mike is hitting landmarks).

You could get away with Rozner being weak on football in afternoons because that's so guest-heavy and caller-heavy that it's not incumbent on the hosts to drive discussion that much. Not like Terry is Mr. Football himself, either.

But sliding Rozner into Boers's spot doesn't solve The Larry Problem, which, appropriately, sounds like one of the chapters in a Gladwell book.
