No, that's his retirement plan.

Just got word, he's at $407k.

It's tough, because he is a lot better than he used to be, but I think there are perception issues with having a guy who has been a primary sub for years and years with a failed midday stint in between finally get another callup. Perhaps you could say that his window has closed. Sucks that he got saddled with Dan Hampton, yeah, but back then he was no better -- perhaps you remember his war against "the clowns" who had the temerity to hope the Bulls would win their best-of-seven with the Celtics, culminating in Leery wearing Celtics gear on some CSN talk show? Hamp and Holmes was some awful, awful radio and I wouldn't have minded if it had been Murph who got busted down to evenings while Leery was the one sent into orbit. Maybe his calling is in management -- the guy loves sports and the radio business more than most people at that station do for either, he's just hard to buy in a major daypart as anything but Laurence Holmes In For.

I have to wonder how Spiegel wasn't launched after the total failure that was Spiegel & Mannelly.

The future holds the possibility to be great or terrible, and since it has not yet occurred it remains simultaneously both.

Let's not excuse Larry for the "Hamp and Holmes" show. Of course Hampton was a horrible (We all knew he would be. Stuttering bitch.) But so was Larry.

Laurence Holmes is a fucking weirdo, a nerd in denial, and a wannabe. Not a very good radio host either.

Yup.

I'm a big dumb shitlib baby

There is no way he makes more than 125K - for an evening show? Commercial rates drop by 30% from drive to the next shift.Makes no financial sense for a guy who never does a full week.

As for DePaul, adjuncts get anywhere from 33000 to 5500, depending on time at the university and what you bring to the school ( background, etc). I know this for a fact as i was na adjunct in the same college as Holmes - my guess he's getting 4,000/class - and he teaches one a semester - call it no more than 12,000/year.

I rarely troll.

Feder just announced that Siafa Lewis was just promoted to top news anchor at NBC. Wonder if Holmes was trying for that position as well.

Larry gotta be on suicide watch with all these doors closing right after another, guess all those years of kissing ass didn't do him much good.

Lewis was promoted to top "Sports" anchor. Not "News" anchor, Spmack. You made me google it cuz I didn't think that could be true.

Yeah, maybe Larry was applying for top sports anchor at NBC 5. But he would have to realize he didn't have a shot. He just hasn't done it long enough. How long was he on NBC? Maybe a year as a part time guy. There are people from lower markets that do it for years until they get the lead sports anchor in a big city. Lewis came from a couple of small markets to eventually get to Chicago. Same with Paula Faris before him.

For instance they were never taught that Columbus was a slave owner.

Nah, he's like a puppy dog coming back for more.

You're a genius.

You are a retread. Old news. Weak stock. I am correct as usual.

Are you stoned or pissed off, or both, when you create these postings?

Agreed. Douchebag is the P.J. Carlisemo of this board. Keeps getting chances for some unknown reason.

I have MANY years of experience in trying to appreciate steaming piles of dogshit.
