June 3, 200916 yr Interesting events. God glad to see Murphy gone. His entire show was painful on the ears. Mixed on Holmes and Hamp. Liked Holmes, couldnt stand Hamp.
June 3, 200916 yr About Friggin time!!! I wonder if Mac is going over there. He did a stand in on B&B not to long ago.
June 3, 200916 yr Just announced on The Score: 5-9: Mully and Hanley 9-1: Dan McNeil 1-2: Danny Mac/B&B "Cross Talk" 2-6: Boers and Bernsie So Hamp and Holmes.. they gone! Murph... HE GONE!!!
June 3, 200916 yr This is a REAL solid 5am-6pm lineup. I hope we dont relive the "Murph does nights" thing again.
June 3, 200916 yr I really like this lineup, but i hope Danny Mac with B&B doesn't mean we'll have less Goff.
June 3, 200916 yr I feel bad for Holmes. His sidekick dragged him down, he was making a lot of progress with his ME show, then he got his daytime slot with Hampton
June 3, 200916 yr This is all because of my posts in the Catch-All And because this was the most obvious move ever.
June 3, 200916 yr I am a regular listener to all sports talk radio cause I just love it. This is going to make for great listening all day for me. Mac for the whole afternoon then B and B and the Saloon when B and B gets on my nerves (which happens quite frequently). Murph,it isnt as much the fact that I think your show was awful that makes me happy your gone but its the fact that I think you are one of the true jagoffs in radio and now you don't have a show anymore .

They will find some way for him to get on the air. He will get his moment to shine again I am sure of that.
June 3, 200916 yr danny mac by himself for that long doesn't seem wise if you ask me.... murph was unlistenable at times and was by far a huge dork who schtick got old after like 30 seconds....however I will say there were times when he had good baseball convo .....talked alot about +/- fielding with John Dewan, etc....too bad he was a horrible cubs homer and was brutal with eveyr other sport Looks like the Score peaks in the morning with Mully and Hanley...though now that hour overlap they had with Waddle and Silvy is gone...which is nice Edited June 3, 200916 yr by daa84

June 3, 200916 yr QUOTE (daa84 @ Jun 3, 2009 -> 05:51 PM) ME and Z was so good...i really really like Zaidman.....for football theres nobody better, and hes adequate with baseball I have grown to loathe Zaidman unfortunately. He is kind of a blend now between Marv Albert and Bill Walton in his delivery, and plus he is a huge Cubs homer that has really been bashing the White Sox recently, so I have added a little extra hate in him for that
June 3, 200916 yr Another website out there is speculating that Murphy may still do the evenings and weekends.
June 3, 200916 yr QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jun 3, 2009 -> 05:01 PM) So Hamp and Holmes.. they gone! finally
June 3, 200916 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 3, 2009 -> 04:53 PM) Great news...Murphy was one of the worst radio personalities ever. ^^^^^^^ He was terrible, absolutely terrible.
June 4, 200916 yr QUOTE (spiderman @ Jun 3, 2009 -> 06:05 PM) Another website out there is speculating that Murphy may still do the evenings and weekends. the way Boers was talking about him it sounded as if he was gone but Boers has never been afraid to talk s*** about him randomly anyways so maybe that means nothing. I bet Murph goes to the Webio. I never heard one person say that they listen to that s***. Not one.
June 4, 200916 yr Murph being gone is awesome, but Law Holmes gets the raw deal because his show for the brief period when Hampton's idiot-ass wasn't on it was very good. Not that it matters... I had the dial tuned to ESPN 1000 ever since Waddle and Silvy came on, and going 9-1 it didn't matter.

June 4, 200916 yr Found this in the Chicago Tribune: The hiring of McNeil, who faced several suspensions at WMVP, dislodges the previous 10 a.m. to noon "Hampton & Holmes" show that featured Bears Hall of Famer Dan Hampton and Laurence Holmes. Also displaced is noon to 2 p.m. host Mike Murphy. "Laurence Holmes is still going to be involved with the radio station, talking different 'day' parts. And Hamp is going to be involved in more of a football and Bears role," said Mitch Rosen, WSCR-AM program director. "We've offered Murph an opportunity to do something on talk at night and other day parts. He and I will communicate more about it. That's how everything shakes out." Murphy, the consummate Cubs fan, is a Score original. "Murph was one of the first people on the air and I know how important he is to the station," said Rosen. "I truly hope he stays around and is on the air with us for a while to come. I love the guy."
