It's because Holmes is Jewish!

The name's Rockmore. Beef Rockmore

But he's still annoyingly non-entertaining in this role. Has anyone honestly listened to Holmes after a fill-in shift and said "I can't wait till he's back on again"?

Also liked how he continued his tradition of plugging his blog and nighttime shift, along with informing Mike DeCourcy, before asking him a question, that he was on the Depaul broadcast crew. Like somehow that gives him greater insight.

Poster boy for the Peter Principle.

I'd trade Holmes for JHood any day.

"Hi Lawrence, I really love when you are on the air."
that caller has always puzzled me.

Plus he knows what he is talking about.

Maybe people want Holmes to "STAND UP TO BERNSTEIN"!!!
Well, tough guy Terry Boers rarely STANDS UP TO BERNSTEIN.

Holmes comes off like a regular guy.....who knows his stuff....his style is not "bigger than life itself".
He is smart where some Hootervillians want EMOTION and borderline hysteria.

Yes, he really really doesn't speak bad. Which is really good for a talk host, the not speaking bad.

He's also run a thought or two past Dan & Terry, which means its validated regardless of the amount of research or investigation he's performed. Dig beneath the surface and you'll get Larry repeating whatever you're saying with a curious mix of ignorance and disbelief because Larry only stays at the surface.

But if you want someone who'll parrot a Bernstein stance really, really good. And run with it really, really far, and hang up on a caller that offers a counterpoint that Dan hasn't previously addressed, then Larry is perfect.

Vintage Larry: a segment involving callers calling in to the show to tell Larry which calls by Rex Ryan in the Colts v. Jets game were like something Lovie would do. There was a prize involved. 10 or more callers called in with valid similarities that Holmes agreed with, but they were not the one he was thinking of. He might as well have had people calling to guess a number between 1-100.

The negative reaction to Holmes has nothing to do with his race, IMO.

He's really bad.

J. Hood is really good.

Berns is relly good

Boers is really bad.

Suckage comes in all colors.

Hoodie is only good when he is actually talking sports. When he is doing his impressions and trying to be a comedian, I can't PTFB quick enough.

I like his impressions. I'm probably singular in this thought but I believe Hood to be up there with Dan Mc Neil and Bernstein as the best sports talkers in the city.

I listened to a good (as in approximate) 15-20 minutes of that. It was awful. Everybody was "really, really close". So, what were the two things?

Hood's kenny williams impression is awesome, John Thompson as well.

Bernstein and Mac are the clearcut 1 and 2

Hood is 3 for me

Hood is good

How much better would WSCR sound if either Goff or Hood was the first guy off the bench as the primary fill in host rather than Holmes? Even better would be a Goff & Hood show nightly from 6-10.
Hood is under rated & under utilized, as is Goff.

I like Hood too, even when he's doing impersonations.

I would probably have Hood at the top of my list of favorite Chicago sports guys, with Goff 2nd.
Then again, I like the Joe O & Rock show too!

Wow. Jay Hood is a better host than Lawrence Holmes? Really?

Comparing Lawrence with Jessie Rodgers? Holy crap that's just... wow...

Oh, Larry has been here in the past bryan. He was run off by a few in the not quite wild west days of the board. What would be post wild west days...industrial revolution days?

I like how Larry acts all surprized that people think Hood is a better host.

Hood is better than everyone in chicago not named Dan.

I happened to hear the first segment of his 9:00 PM hour last night, and he spent the entire segment "blasting" Hood over various things.

Does anyone really care about Holmes Super Bowl party or his relationship with Hood?

no one cares about holmes period

I am not Lawrence Holmes...

Not LoHo himself, but a Loho asslicker. The former might actually be better than the latter in this case.
