Out driving last night and I turn to WBBM for a sports update at 7:15PM.

It's Ofman on fucking tape. He doesn't even have the final of the Cowboys game in his report. Same thing at 7:45 PM too.

50000 Watt All News station can't be bothered to have a live voice early evening?

Wtf Ron, the new budget constraints to fault for this or Terry Keshner buried in his car in a snowbank?

Could have stopped at "It's Ofman"

I still recall the HFC voice impression of Ron Gleason, and the snide remarks of the highly touted Northwestern education.

How else would we know that the Red Sox beat the Red Sox?

Gentlemen, it was a towering line drive.

They didn't even have a reporter at the Hawks game. That's all Ron's doing. besides, George has been taping his updates for like 20 years now. Working an extra minute an hour is taxing.

remember that Offman leaving early was the genesis of the phrase "circus jerkus time"

No one has had an easier career that George. It may not be high paying but there are people slaving for lower wages.

George did well at the Score 15 years ago. Plus his free lance stuff when the station first started.

Then he got soft and quit going to games and his free lance cash went to Schuster and Les.

He makes less than half of what he made in his heyday.

You can forgive Gleason for skimping on sports if he's allocating that money toward hard-news operations. Is he?

George is paid thru a trade of commercials between BBM and Shadow.

I was more referring to not sending a reporter to the Winter Classic and stuff, but it is interesting how WBBM itself barely pays anyone.
