Couple nights ago a texter asked Les how Jason Heyward ranked in all time greatest Cubs? Les said he is around the top 20th. I don't think he cracks the top 100, maybe 150.

I think we all perceive Les as some middle aged and hold him to standards we would set for someone of that age.

The guy is pushing 70 years old and working the grave yard shift. Adjust expectations appropriately

Les coming out of a commercial break killing time giving the weather. Temperature wise it's actually pretty comfortable outside right now. But still, a bit on the muggy side. Then its comfortably muggy?

The thing about Les, I thought he was an old guy when I was a kid listening to Dahl. Les was probably in his 30s back then.

This isn't even work for Les. If he wasn't talking sports on the air, he'd be holding court with a bunch of crusty guys at a greasy spoon every morning talking sports for a couple of hours. He's a genuine guy.

He's not genuine on the air now. He's a fraidy-cat. Afraid of his own shadow. Just collecting checks. He's not equipped to function in a pc world on-air. He doesn't actually talk about current sports now unless it's safe. Afraid to give any hot topic opinions. It's like a bad internet radio show Stern pranks. There'll never be a trainwreck sports radio show in Chicago like this again.

While Les is an eccentric person, he is completely genuine. Have talked to him before games and he was extremely nice and cordial. We talked.....sports. Les is a good guy. Weird guy yes, but good guy.

He is the opposite of a Bernsie, Goff, etc. Guy is himself, not trying to prove or impress anyone. Just a good man.

always liked les - despite the know-it-all attitude. good for 3-4 calls a night where he steers the caller's comment towards a grobber recollection that is 3-4 degrees of separation away from the caller's original comment/question.

the fact that les has an opinion on a few chicago sports personalities/teams always makes him interesting. i don't know if lovie smith belittled/insulted him once, because the grobber can't stand him.

i do remember chuck swirsky's show on wcfl in the late 1970s. he's open his show with ELO's 'fire on high'. the swirsk would talk hockey and i loved it. i believe the hawks were on wcfl back then, so..swirsky gets 3 out of 5 stars. will grant mulvey remain a a consistent 25-30 goal scorer??? i think the swirsk has his answer by now.

i bring up swirsky because i believe swirsky had a sport radio call-in show before les or coppock. my earliest recollection of the grobber was him doing sports on wls-am during the whole day. lujack/fred winston and i believe les hosted a ditka show and tomczak show on wls during the bears' glory years.
