Jesus Christ. Might as well be his name for these Score hosts.

Parkins and Spiegel interviewed him yesterday. Dan and Larry replayed it.

Jason was told not to eat on the air by the Sox last year. Jason was crying about this. I don’t know. Seems like a reasonable request. Jason thought it was a funny bit. It really wasn’t. Bernstein was mad at reinsdorf for telling Benetti he’s not funny. Well, he’s not that funny. The score guys would have you believe he deserves and hour long stand up special on Netflix.

Jason was decent. He decided to leave. The next guy will probably be fine too. This is not a tragedy and Jason isn’t a victim. And most Sox fans are indifferent about it

The Benetti stuff is way over the top.

Who is the name that got in their wallets that will be the next announcer?

You sure it isn't a billfold or money clip?

Uncle Jerry's take on Benetti was spot on.

It depends on if the Sox care. If they do, they throw money at Len. That would be my advice.

He specifically said he came to the Sox to do radio. When Benetti got fired Brooke’s said Len won’t get it cuz he doesn’t want it.

I agree. A lot of his jokes fall flat. Bernstein would have you believe that dumb people don’t get his humor. No. He’s just not that funny and he tries too hard to only fall flat.

You don’t understand. If it was about money he wouldn’t have left the cubs. He took a huge pay cut to go from cubs tv to Sox radio.

Cubs tv money is way more than the Sox will pay their tv guy. And he left for radio money which is way less than that.

you know I heard some of this on B & H yesterday or the day before, about what a monumental horrible mistake letting him walk away was and my immediate thought was that they were acting like the Sox lost a legend like Vin Scully or something. Granted I'm not a Sox fan and don't listen to or watch a ton of their games, and he seemed good but c'mon man, get over it already.

Right. That was my point. He was fine and he chose to leave. No big deal. And I also think Jason is high maintenance. I think he wanted his bosses to treat him like he was vin skully.

He probably was more of a problem employee than the narrative the score guys present.

Anybody who eats like a slob on air should be fired on the spot.

Jason really cried about it saying “I guess I’m disgusting when I eat.” Yes, Jason. Everyone is disgusting when they’re shoving hot dogs and pizza’s down they’re throat. Everybody. Who the hell wants to watch people eat on tv. It was a reasonable request by your boss.

Christ, when you eat with people you know everyone avoids actually watching the people around you eat. That’s common for everyone

I wonder if those guys would still like each other if they had to work with one another on a regular basis. They both think they're the smartest guy in the room, put them both in the same room for an extended period of time and sparks could fly.

Many have tried and failed with the eating bit. Only Joey Chestnut has figured out the cheat.

Jason has a niche following that is rabidly loyal to him. You see them at the across soxtalk as well. They can't comprehend that the majority of the world doesn't agree and become agitated at the suggestion. It's like one of these tv shows that doesn't get picked up for a second season with its few fans writing petitions to bring it back years after the cancellation.

Benetti is a dork, so some people feel he represents them.

It's why I feel it's important to shut that talk up and come hell or high water, get Len in the TV booth. It's such an enormous upgrade that everybody will forget Jason even existed.

I think Peeps wanted to beat me up for the way I criticized Benetti.

I’ve always assumed Len just wanted to get the fuck away from the Marquee nerds and found a comfortable landing spot in the same city. Radio, tv, who gives a shit, just get away from people who make you wear a sportcoat to talk about men in pajamas running around in dirt.

Maybe there’s something to his professed love of radio, but I’m going to doubt little Lenny kasper grew up dreaming about announcing games for a 60 win team alongside Darrin Jackson on a dying medium.
