I was watching CSN Sports Talk Live last nite, and they had their daily poll as always. It was, "Who had the best weekend?" Harmless enough, and with the draft and the winning Sox it was a good jumping off point for a discussion. Then I read the answer choices;

A) Bears
B) White Sox
C) Cubs
D) Illinois Basketball Coaches Association Hall of Famer David Kaplan


The D clearly stands for douchebag.

Or Boyd.

I can't explain why Kaplan has grown on me. I certainly get the criticism as he is never shy about talking about his own accomplishments or who he knows. It must be that the level of sports commentary is so bad that Kaplan is relatively decent. I never thought the day would come where I am listening to ESPN1000 for the majority of the work day. But here we are, and WSCR is unlistenable past 9:00. I can't believe I look forward to M&H and Kaplan......

Nomination accepted.

In fact, it should be renamed to "Douchebag of the Century"

You do realize a producer creates this?

So a producer is trying to "suck up" to Kaplan? You know Kap loves every second of it. I think Kap was extolling his own basketball coaching career when interviewing Thibs yesterday.

No doubt the producer is trying to suck up to Kap and I agree he loves every second of it, but Kap still doesnt PRODUCE the show.

I mean do you think Spiegs and Goff decide what is going to be in there daily poll, or guess the number, or....Oh yeah, they dont do anything......

I am sure when Kap saw the webpoll he said to the producer, "No, please take my name off of there."

I am sure the whole thing was in jest. But Kap loves that kind of thing. In fact any of could probably get on Sports Talk Live simply by flattering Kap a few dozen times in e-mails and calls to the show.

Hah, another reason for Boyd to hate on him. Lou's!

"Kaplan is married to Mindy who is the marketing director of the World Famous Lou Malnati's chain of Chicago style pizzerias."

If one of you wants to try it, email him and say he has won the CSFMB Father of the Year award and you want to go on Sports Talk to present it. If he says yes, I'll buy an obnoxious trophy.

When Kaplan referred to Cincinnati as "The 'Nati" during a recent Cubs postgame, I almost puked.

Which reminds me of a funny story from when I was an assistant coach at Northern Illinois. Oh, I'm sorry, it reminds me of a funny story when from I was a scout for the Indiana Pacers. Oh, my bad again, Sprinkles...it was from when I was a scout for the Seattle SuperSonics. Anyway, I'm talking to Frank Layden when Doug Collins comes over and wants to ask me a question about my Corvette...

Kaplan is the white Laurence Holmes and vice versa.

He does a good show, gets great guests and knows the games he's talking about. I don't mind that he has a high opinion of himself. Nomination denied.

I like Kap and like some guys on here,he has changed my opinion of him BUT just now on his show he was giving his recipe for pancakes (ingredient by ingredient!) which sounded like some type of "healthy choice" shit. If we burn Goff & Speigs for bad guy smalltalk,Kap's right up there,too.

I know the kid producer came up with it to suck up to Kaplan. But once Kaplan learned what what the kiss ass producer came up with he could have said, "No, we're not using that" if he wasn't a self-loving douche.

This guy is the worst name dropper in town, he's a real pud..I bet Kevin Garnett has no idea who he is and Kaplan tells it like are boys.

No. It's gotten very close. That's why people are finally coming around to him after years or disliking him or ignoring him.

Kap on the pregame today with Zobrist ......outstanding. Like him on the postgame with Hollandsworth too. This guy may like himself, but he does a great job. I think Frank just started this thread because Kap is a Cubs guy.

Kap is pretty annoying, nowhere near as annoying as your boy Larry or most other score turds.
