I will tell you one thing.........I would rather listen to Murph than the Candyman. He was a weird and probably burrito dude but I miss his Cubs talk.

Dude at the end I think he lost his mind.
But yeah his cubs talk was good. Better than harry and friggin broose leevineline.
Being that there hasn't bee significant baseball in town for 5 years now I almost forgot.
He was a complete penis to his coworkers. Maybe that's why they infer he was burrito. Or laybe they knew than under the moustache was a cork suckin icehole. I dunno.

If it's cheap gin, yes. You shouldn't ruin the good stuff with anything other than a few olives.
Think of it as making a bourbon and coke with Pappy Van Winkle. No sane person would do such a thing.

Someone should start a poll to see who is more hated on this board: Murph or The Eagles. As to Murph, he also had good foottball thoughts from what I remember. I don't recollect him being much on the Hawks or Bulls however.

Murph would be perfect for an upstart 3rd station and he would get good ratings without a doubt. Not really sure why he supposedly is such an ass when it comes to his fellow employees or if he is burrito or not, but his show certainly was better than some of the yawn fests currently airing.

Murph stuff is greatly overblown.

I suspect that Murph is just that kind of guy who needs to be fully prepared and focused to function on not a great but even just an adequate level. Did you ever have a kid in your class, like around middle school, who would flip his/her shit before a mandatory presentation because somebody sneezed and "it completely threw [him/her] off"? That's Murph, basically, and when your preparation and focus is in the meaty, doughy, Dorito-powdered hands of the average WSCR producer, well, shit's gettin' flipped.

This.

Yes everything with Murph needed to flow per his script so I can see how this would create big time tension behind the scenes. But content wise, the guy knew his shit and wasn't afraid to voice his opinion.

You know what I really want to know? Who's gay in the world of aviation. C'mon. You know there's got to be a few. All that flying and knob handling. Right?

Nicely done. Answered the beard question and the gay aviators question in one shot.

I think Murph was at his best when the Cubs were bad -- kind of like how Doug and OB are a better listen after a Bears' loss (and Cubs losses were so much more frequent). I'd love to hear him pontificate on Theo's Grand Plan.

I also agree that his style of show and preparation methods were probably ridiculed by the "modern" hosts, which likely contributed to the interpersonal issues.
