Not Larry Holmes the Boxer, I'm talking about Lawrence Holmes the radio host on WSCR in Chicago. There is no shortage of dunderheads in sportsradio, but I am vexed as to how this moran has a job on a premier station in the #3 radio market.

It's not the sound of his voice grating like a bunch of bottle caps stuck in your disposal that drives my disdain. It is the utterly stupid and senseless proclamations that his parrot-like brain foists upon listeners at regular intervals. How can someone so ignorant be in such a position?

The Mensa-violating Mr. Holmes this very morning decreed that the Brewers "made a great strategic move" by firing Ned Yost. He argued that it was a shrewd and calculated move to wrest the club from its downward spiral.

Hello? Anybody home? Look at the little brain on Lawrence! God I loath him. Somebody put a muzzle on that retarded (female dog).

He was good on the Bears beat, and tolerable as a weekend fill-in host. But, I can't believe they gave him the 10-12 time slot.

His show with Hampton as well as Hit and Run are the only two shows I can tolerate on the Score.

I also thought firing Yost was the right move.

Boers and Bernsie are my favorites, perhaps because I know Bernsie and his Mrs. Really nice, intelligent people.

I would have fired Yost too. But calling it "strategic" is idiotic. It was a complete panic move. And it probably won't help the Brewers.

Bernstein isn't the reason why I seldom tune into their show as I agree 9 out of 10 times on their stances which usually run parallel to each other.

Strategic vs. panic is more semantical than anything else. You're right about it likely not helping the Brewers, but it's the only move they could do that might work, even if it's a 5% chance of getting them into the post-season given how they are playing right now.

There was little semantics in Holmes' statements. He basically gushed over the firing of Yost as if it were some great insight that would propel the Brewers.

When he's on by himself it always sounds to me like he makes a statement then assumes a different persona just to agree with himself. Like a ventriloquist.

Boers and Bernstein are entertaining, but Bernstein can get so pompous at times that I have a hard time listening. But I usually go back. He's better than Homer Teinowitz, although Mac and Jurko keep him pretty well tempered. I switch back and forth a lot.

++ on Holmes. He tries too hard.

Bernsie is really, really smart, and sometimes his intellect is above and beyond what is necessary for sports radio. He's a really solid guy in person. Would love to drink with Boers someday, because he's just goofy, and I like goofy people.

You're 10 foot midget, aren't you?

LOL. Gridiron Assassin? Nope.

I usually go by Gridiron Gonzo on WSCR.
