What ring?

Larry said he chose the entertainment side of sports media. But, said he could of been an executive in the field if he chose.

He probably could have had his buddy Mitch start him out in that direction. Who cares?

lots of people start at low level executive positions in baseball. I think Bernstein was a basketball executive while he was also the announcer for that rockford team.

Sir isn't creative enough to be in the lead of anything but he would be an excellent at carrying someone's briefcase and complimenting him on his decisions

This reminds me of that annoying Nissan commercial where they have some guy tell his friend about his "crazy" story about how he bought his new car. He went to a dealership, test drove a car, got a sales pitch and bought the car. I think of Holmes whenever I see this ad.

Not many YouTube views for Larry's juggernaut.

Jesus, I know people who get more views posting dashcam videos of driving through random stretches of Interstate.

I can't believe more people don't want to watch a condescending victim card playing self-centered know it all racist broadcast a weekly pity party talking himself down from a ledge?

We all can't have the same listening habits as you.

"I've done tv for the last 15 years"

Honestly, that is news to a lot of people, even one's who kind of follow your career.

Really, this is filled with Sir at his best. "Had to flex his muscles a little bit" after being a fill in for super bowl coverage. "I know a lot of people".

"I'm not just local", this while filling on a hyper local cable station as a fill in for a guy who had last minute maternity leave.

I have a good time once in a while posting about his earnings, but I really wonder what these guys make cobbling together bits and pieces of work into a career.

Larry is at his absolute best, for a listener, when talking about Larry. I mean that sincerely

"I won't jump on back on tv, just for being on tv sake." What do you think the last 15 years of tv work have been?

also, notice that he pulls his signature move, he is going to take some time off and take his name off of consideration for offers.

This is great, love the pictures of him doing "TV" on the wall behind him. He must absolutely be crushed Parkins got a National TV Gig.

Nah, he'd have to leave his momma. My favorite brag of his is the being a solid alumnus of Alabama with his online masters.

He isn't a joy, but he's far from a monster. The guy works. He's like a competent Les Grobstein. Major props to him for surviving. So many have come and gone.

I also enjoy his quirkiness. The Score already has a robot. He's on in the morning.

He's Les Grobstein or Pat Benkowski but thinks he's much more. That's the fun of Sir on Sir.

He's not even like Chet or Giangreco. Those guys had celebrity, even when local.

He's quirky only in his megalomania. He is robotic as a host, as evidenced by his shows when he is solo.

You have it wrong if you think I hate Sir. The world is funnier with him in it.

This is a perfect example: he gives an hour long epitaph to a cable station that always had the budget and production value of local access cable. His big Bears post game was one of about four across the tv, which doesn't include all the other options on youtube and radio.

by the way, he does get to throw out the names of a couple of little sisters he knows will make it in the industry.

Oh, I'd say he's a monster. A guy lacking any self-awareness that speaks definitively on everything despite not being well educated or well experienced in anything. A guy who is never shy about turning every single thing back to him, or how he played a role (usually 'key') in whatever is currently trending or whomever might have had some modicum of success. A guy who is quick to lecture anyone and everyone, shifting quite easily to the completely unearned role of wise, grizzled industry vet who needs to step up on the soap box to let someone know how proud HE is of them (and/or to preach to them that they should really take time to appreciate what they've accomplished). A guy who firmly believes that liking comic books whilst also liking sports (and obviously excelling in them himself) is super quirky and surely something people want to hear about on the radio.

The Score has had a rich history of curious host selections - Larry is simply the cockroach that somehow survives the routine foggings. His greatest ability is to (apparently) not hear the haters, as he continues to grind along producing remedial audio content while acting like he's elevated himself to some sort of wise elder. House of L, indeed.

and he closes out with another Larry classic hit from the past "he will fight you, for real, real"

The L in House of L stands for lonely. People usually grown out of what he has by his age.

fight you in the hallway. he is waiting in the hall for you

I've talked before about how the board has had a series of chief antagonists: North, then Laurence, then Bernstein, then Julie DiCaro. I think in that time that Leery was our bad guy, he really was at his worst, but he's since mellowed with age. Dressing up in Boston Celtics gear on TV to troll people who liked Ben Gordon was, after all, 15 years ago. Some of his worst tendencies are still there, but it's harder to get as mad at them as we did. I couldn't make the bingo card today even if most of it still applies. He's just not that annoying anymore.
