I'll go one step further. There was no option to be picked up. Larry said the Score picked up his 2012 and 2013 option. What? Didn't Larry just announce that he signed a 3 year deal a few months ago? Then you have a Score option so soon? No. If the Score wanted him when they signed him there is no need to have a "club option" so quick. That makes no sense. I'm not saying options aren't done in radio, but not a few months after you just signed.
Like I said, he just posted that on twitter to get people off the scent of NBC 5 and to get people to stop asking and speculating.
Maybe Doc is right, though. Maybe Zimmerman is playing hard ball with NBC 5. Not cuz he wants to keep Larry, he could care less, Larry's are a dime a dozen to Zim. He'll find another one for that inconsequential shift. But maybe Zim is thinking he can get money from NBC 5 for the Score allowing Larry out. It's worth a shot for Zim. No down side. We've all learned he's all about squeezing people in contracts negotiations. Why wouldn't he try to squeeze NBC 5?
As always, you give message boards and yourself too much credit for being relevant and important.
Why would someone waste their time and enegy to create such a deception to escape the heat of a couple hundred message board posters at most? What does all of this "asking and speculating" do to warrant the effort of creating the deception? What dire consequences might occur due to all of this speculation if left unchecked?
The answers? 1 - No sensible reason 2 - Absolutely nothing 3 - None whatsoever
