120 Sports! Who, has hired every part time hack ever to breath into a mic, so his odds of doing anything there worthwhile IF they ever make anything are slim and none.

I downloaded the 120 Sports App, had it for 2 days....not really sure what the point was? Seemed to be stories with pics, like that was revolutionairy.

i think "downlo" means something a little different than you mean, assuming you meant "loho's career has peaked"

but hey, when you have segments like "CHICKS ON THE NEW NETWORK TV SHOWS WHO COULD GET IT" you never know, do you?

Lawrence is fine for his time slot. Not everyone is suited to be the drive time star.

The world needs ditch diggers too, nothing wrong with being who you are.

It is not going downhill. He has his dream job. Now, you may not agree with the dream but being on air talent at the Score is what he always wanted.

I can't believe the hate this guy gets here. The reason H&H didn't work was 100% Hampton. LH brings energy, passion, he's relatable. He seems like the type of guy who would hit the younger part of the demo pretty well. Plus he talks a lot of Bears and has relationships with quite a few ex players from when he was a bears reporter. I would 100/100 times take him over Spiegel. I miss the Me show in the morning, but I think he's fine where he is at now as well.

Larry had a large list of women he could have brought.
Cheryl Scott said she had to tape a hockey stick and Jen Lada said she had the Ebola virus.

Larry said if a child comes from this Friday night tyrst he will name it Sherlock or NBC5EXPOSTERRY.

Lets start with the fact it's not HIS show, he is just on that show.

And the show is fine, production wise, but are you really tuning in for it? Guessing NO

opening day 2003 it's cold as shit at wrigley, in fact opening day was pushed back a day so they could remove snow. for whatever reason i have the bright idea to layer up with the ~3 expos jerseys i own. i decided to pull a switcheroo and flip the vlad jersey to the outermost layer right by the famous wrigley marquee b4 entering, and that's when i notice a dad kneeling next to his son, one arm around him, the other pointing at me. he says "[SON], THAT'S A CANADIAN. HE'S FROM CANADA"

i stand there perturbed for a second and shoot him the glare b4 i pipe up and say "FUCK YOU ASSHOLE I'M FROM ELK GROVE"

btw, i like to think that i might be the first person in human history to ever utter the phrase "FUCK YOU ASSHOLE I'M FROM ELK GROVE"

Actually I would really like that. I like when arrogance gets the comeuppance. A lot.

used the money saved on Mac to secure their future. No way Lawrence didn't get a substantial pay raise. Time to recalculate:

radio show- 400K
commercials- 100K
side gigs- 50K
120Sports- 150K
De Paul- 100K

I think they gave him one class at dePaul to teach , 5 + years ago? and the guy still claims he is a teacher at DePaul. I drove a race car 3 laps around the Vegas Speedway, I dont claim I am a NASCAR driver!

Maybe I should?
