I really can't stand that opening of his show where they they say what schools they're from. cringeworthy.
Last night, jump in the car to hear Robbie Gould and Tom Thayer talk interestingly and then the 7:00 start of
The Larry Show and the usual cacophony of verbal nonsense opening, I PTFB. J. Hood is busy setting a table for the nights discussion about the "faces of the today's game." Nothing new (especially for Hood) but at least I'm being drawn in and engaged in the upcoming discussion for the drive home.
The days of Scorehead (or my radio) endlessly listening are long gone. Where I once sat in traffic for 90 minutes I now spend 45-60 minutes doing something else and enjoying the 35-45 minute non-rush hour drive home. Its a better quality of life and I want my quality of radio to be commensurate. Love or hate many of the other hosts, but very few sound the same as they once did many years ago. Mike Murphy once had a kitschy opening song that my now grown daughter still giggles at because she sang it as a child. Larry has a show opening that not only hasn't aged well but has me questioning where he will be in 5-7 years? The equivalent of the 40-something virgin who is ready to talk comics, and still sounding and acting like a kid.
Then again, he might announce he's gay and position himself where he can never be fired.
