Great point, who doesn't love exchanging public humiliation and getting fired in exchange for getting a severance package and then the chance to look for a new job. PAR! TAY!

Agree completely.

Genius! Murph shouting over DJ and Farmeo is can't-miss radio.

He's not getting that slot, Holmes is going 6-10pm. Murph is irrelevant, good. Looks like weekends or nothing for the Murph.

I wonder if a podcast of tomorrow's show will even be posted.

Miss a little, miss a lot! I wonder if "Murph" will go into "Abby's Old Drawers" early & often on his final show at 12Noon tomorrow...

I think WGN has a spot open on Saturday mornings. I'm sure the Score will let them have him for a pair of 500 section Cubs tickets.

So has he even acknowledged it on the air, aside from the veiled tool of the week contest earlier in the week?


I wouldn't be surprised if he just didn't say anything, being the big baby that he is.

How in the fuck would that make him a big baby?

It would fucken make him a fucken baby because it would allow him the fucken satisfaction of not even acknowledging the firing and giving others the satisfaction of hearing a longwinded fucken good bye.

He just said a typical goodbye, and played a ton of sound clips. So, the last thing on his show was to play an Ed Lynch parody song?

Murph has a little Jello Biafra in him.

Agreed. Not a Murph fan, but the right thing today (at least) was to say nothing.

look for Murph to land on his feet at GN making far less money but far happier. Bob Brenley is not long for the TV booth. Be afraid.

And agreed on Terry. Although there could be vile things Murph did privately that could make Terry mad enough to do something like this, it would become him to not act this way.

I'm a little disappointed that TB didn't take the high road on this one.

The one thing I have found to be true is that when I do the same thing and don't take the high road, karma has a way of coming back and biting me in the ass. So while I don't always take the high road, I try to consider it when making the decision to piss in somebody's oatmeal or not.
