That was interesting that story is only report of the Barstool/Bernstein stuff I saw. Seems Holmes and Goff were talking as sources. Spiegel has to be embarrassed they were going to replace him.

I'm confused about one particular piece of worthless gossip. Laurence was "bothered by the episode". Portnoy's or Bernstein's episode? Because he didn't vacate until Portnoy had his rant.

Given the level of passive aggressiveness Leery displayed toward his cohost for most of the recent past, I assume he’d take any opportunity available to criticize bernsie.

Mr. “Meet me in the hallway” can’t be the same guy getting verklempt about “you don’t know me like that.”

The Portnoy armies have achieved seven of 20 objectives. They targeted LoHo and got their man.

I think Larry sat on his feelings at first. Think it was mentioned he was ok with Fast Eddie or whatever from NBC job?

Not really. There's respectful history between them. You have to take that into account.

As I understand it, Eddie is the nicest guy in the universe. Even Jim Thome says so.

This raises more questions than it answers.

Bothered how? Was he scared of catching heat directed to Bernstein? or does he just not want to get on Barstool's bad side? Tell me more.

Quote:
Station employees don’t see the series of events as a series of coincidences. While Holmes maneuvered in the background, Bernstein, who has been at the station since 1995, continued to appear on the air and in public at remote broadcasts, despite continued attacks on social media.

You couldn't get quotes, even off the record?

So IOW Bernsie was a professional in the midst of that and Larry was a bitch. That sounds right

I mean, if your idea of professionalism is to mean-mug a webcam, freeze out a co-host, and invent a personal slight.

I’m thinking more Holmes is pissed at Bernstein and said I’m done with this.

Consider the venue.

These aren’t accountants. That interaction was the most meaningful thing to happen at the AM radio sports talk business since Maria Taylor. It moved meters. Did numbeez. Got the people going.

Agrest really believes in keeping the articles short. Another 200 or so word story.

This Score stuff is only mildly interesting because the involved are so unlikable, unlistenable, most battling mental illness, and one step closer to jumping off the ledge.

I have a hard time believing this drove Holmes out of the mid-day show. Maybe it added to it, but I think he wanted to work with Goff and made a move for afternoons. Perhaps he didn't want to work with Bernstein either.

Haven't people here been noting the appearance of tension from Sir to Dan over the past few months?

Sir is great at being a compliant sycophant when he perceives inferiority but always sticks the knife into a weakened co worker, usually after several others already did and it is safe for him to do so.

In wake of Barstool blowup, Laurence Holmes’ move creates firestorm at The Score
The Sun-Times has learned that staffers perceive Holmes’ move from middays to afternoons as the result of a blowup with Barstool Sports and his desire to get out of working with station mainstay Dan Bernstein.

The Score announced lineup changes Monday that will go into full effect next week after already having an effect at the station’s offices at Two Prudential Plaza.

The Sun-Times has learned that staffers are perceiving Laurence Holmes’ move from middays to afternoons as the result of a blowup with Barstool Sports and his desire to get out of working with station mainstay Dan Bernstein. The situation has created a firestorm at the station, which last week failed to bring back Jason Goff for the afternoon spot vacated by Danny Parkins, who left to host a new morning show on FS1.

Holmes co-hosted his first afternoon show with Matt Spiegel on Monday. Bernstein and fill-in host Mark Grote introduced the new show during transition, and they had a pleasant — although perhaps performative — exchange. Former CBS 2 sports director Marshall Harris will replace Holmes on the midday show beginning next Monday.

The seeds of Holmes’ strife were planted Sept. 10, when an incident on the air Sept. 5 between Bernstein and Barstool Eddie of Barstool Chicago went viral. During transition, Bernstein reacted poorly to Eddie calling him by his last name, saying, “You can call me Dan, or you can call me Bernsy, but you don’t know me like that.” It gained traction in the Stoolies community five days later when Barstool founder Dave Portnoy posted on X, “Stoolies have never had a more important war than to ruin this guy’s life (professionally speaking, of course).”

Although Portnoy’s reaction was much more outrageous than Bernstein’s, his followers heeded his call, directing vitriol at Bernstein on social media. Holmes, who was bothered by the episode, didn’t appear on the show for the rest of the week. On his “House of L” podcast Sept. 16, Holmes explained he had been away because of oral surgery. But he also stayed off the air the entire following week, continued to drop podcasts and played on The Score’s softball team. Harris filled in alongside Bernstein in what appears to have been an audition.

Meanwhile, the station and parent company Audacy were negotiating with Goff, with whom Holmes had hoped to host. Pairing them was discussed, but talks with Goff fell apart because of Audacy’s insistence that he give up his podcast, “The Full Go,” with The Ringer. Last Friday, Goff announced on his podcast he wasn’t returning to the station that unceremoniously let him go in March 2018. On Monday, Audacy and The Score announced the new lineup, and Holmes returned to the air for the first time in nearly two weeks.

Station employees don’t see the series of events as a series of coincidences. While Holmes maneuvered in the background, Bernstein, who has been at the station since 1995, continued to appear on the air and in public at remote broadcasts, despite continued attacks on social media.

The new lineup is a convenient one for The Score, which was able to maintain some continuity by promoting from within and hiring a fill-in. Holmes has been with the station since 1998 and worked with Bernstein since 2022. Harris, who left CBS 2 in July, has appeared on various shows at The Score.

The changes come near the beginning of the Nielsen fall ratings period, which runs Sept. 12 to Dec. 4. The station will have a little over two months of data during a key timeframe — football season — to see how it initially fares.

The Stoolies have done nice work according to the updates on Reddit. They facilitated the agitation of Holmes in DePaul as intended. They used WSCR connections to get the real story out there via the Sun Times article. And worked behind the scenes to disrupt a Goff reunion. They are now claiming eight of 20 points completed with three more to be finished by this weekend.

Holmes has allegedly fed his partnership with Bernstein due to a short-lived social media blowup with Barstool?

This theory seems flimsy at best.

No quotes, no detail, know nothing.

Correct. It is just flinging crap against the wall

I thought one of the Barstool guys was going to try to have sex with LoHo to get back at Bernsie for his Eddie malspeak.
