I don't think it has anything to do with Bernstein, he just got pantsed and lapped by Parkins and Dicaro just lapped him..a demotion when your 42 and been at the job for 20 years is a shot across the bow.

I think more like 10-12yrs.

They tried having him host on the weekends before, just didn't work out. I don't think he knows much outside of the Cubs.

Laurence Holmes is a fucking weirdo, a nerd in denial, and a wannabe. Not a very good radio host either.

Did Matt steal your lunch money or something? Jesus.

I'm still a Matty guy. His on air persona changed with the Bernsteinization of 670.

He was an enjoyable listen before 670 became the station for the "smart fan". He tried adapting to the Bernstein culture which was a terrible fit for him.

You could tell he was solid when Terry and him did shows. They shot the shit for 5 hours without trying to sound like douches.

I think he would tell you he had regrets about the way he treated several people, not just Dan -- the guy has been there since he was Club Lodge's leader and certainly has evolved as a person, like anyone else would do over this many years. I think realistically it is probably a good ideato move on at this point; maybe other opportunities would await in other radio environments, but at the same time, why in the hell would you want to stay in a dying medium like that if you had any sort of opportunity in something else. Local radio folk aren't that far away from the Sun Times reporters at this point. The writing on the wall has been on the wall for a while, and if you haven't broken through to a on-air featured talent at his age and in his life situation, it is worth considering a move to another industry, especially if you have an in.

He must not have liked his promotion.

I always liked him and hope he does well. I guess you can't stand up to Bernstein and live to tell about it.

I bet Matt would be great in sales and would double his salary even working on straight commission.

The future holds the possibility to be great or terrible, and since it has not yet occurred it remains simultaneously both.

Sure, till he stuck his dick where it didn't belong again.

Or maybe you shouldn't fuck a sponsor's wife.

I hope Hawk still calls broken bat contact a "Matt Abattacola"...

he hasn't called it that in a long time...

I rarely troll.

What a fucking loser

All that condescension for all those years on air and now he's an unemployed 40+ year old living hand to mouth in a shitty apartment paying child support for three kids who will grow up ashamed of their piece of shit father. He never had any right to talk to people the way he did and now he has to wallow in the realization that nobody, not even his employer of 20 years or mother of his three children, gives a shit about anything he has to say. Rarely does the universe deliver such perfect karmic justice.

You'll read about him swinging from a rope in the next 5 years as his kids start to reject him.

Who knows what he is up to? I think he can probably do well in the off air radio business. After all Mitch was a producer. Either way I am really surprised not one of us dopes here ever were able to foster a real inside score source.

For instance they were never taught that Columbus was a slave owner.
