So Rongey was in with Larry in the last half of the show today. That seems odd. Wonder if he is in the mix for something more.

I always liked Rongey. It wasn't a good strategy to rip his fans and carry water for a losing White Sox team, but his other work was decent.

I can't get past that. There's carrying water for the team and then there's ripping people for the joy of ripping people. He was the latter. Bernstein level of animosity without the intelligence to back it up.

Good Lord he looks like a bald bearded Radio yelling "reverse reverse!" in that pic.

The constant defense of Greg Walker. "hitting coaches mean nothing". That part is fine, it's wrong but it's a main stream stats nerd stance, but the point was Walker was a Charlie Lau brand. An obsolete method. Months of defense, ripping callers, and then when Walker got bounced, "Good move."

I liked him on postgame. A guy being forced to defend the indefensible is good radio.

I swear sometimes people just want tune in and have a guy validate their thoughts for several hours.

Yesterday Holmes bragging about still having a major league arm and worked out Tom House style. I played against him in high school like most of us he was meh. No wonder he is single at 50

Wait just a second here...we have proof of life on the Sir baseball career. I knew he wasn't lying, unlike you unbelievers.

Thank God. He ISN'T stealing baseball valor...phew

Larry Holmes interviewed 6 years ago.

Gimme an "Uncle Rico" moment from your sports playing past. I once pitched 5 2/3 of relief in the first game of a doubleheader (we were getting blown out) against Northwestern. My curve ball got more effective as my arm tired out and I started the 2nd game because I was having success. I struck out 7. Back then I could throw 80 mph. I was a catcher. I couldn't lift my arm for a week after that.

What do you dislike most in others? Being inauthentic.

Look, I said when he was married for that short period that his wife was definitely a beard.
