I like some of them. But it's basically one joke being told in slightly different variations.

Fuck.

WHAT THE FUCK?!
This makes no damn sense. Fuck the Rickettses.
2020 Team - biggz - 12-04-2020
They’ve really built up and pissed away a lot of goodwill, haven’t they?

I refuse to believe Len just decided to give up a TV pbp gig for a high profile team with a national fanbase to partner with Darrin Fucking Jackson to do radio broadcasts that no one will hear.

Holy shit. This is unexpected.

My ad blocker seems to be sparing me. How bad are they?

Turn off the lights, the party is officially over Cub fans.
No Lester, Theo, Schwarber and now Len
What now, 2020? This year has really sucked.

Im dumbfounded. Seriously. What the fuck
2020 Team - funkster - 12-04-2020
Im so pissed this morning I dont even know what to say at this point...
2020 Team - Bricklayer - 12-04-2020
This whole marquee thing has just turned into a farce. They have such a bland corporate approach. They have no idea what makes broadcasts interesting to fans. How the games are called and presented to fans is the one thing that they can distinguish themselves from most of the other teams and this is how people connect.
I dont know what to think anymore.
I really cannot begin to imagine the fallout from this, especially since his replacement will be Chris Meyers.
I hope the Ricketts are happy with their empire of dirt.
2020 Team - funkster - 12-04-2020
Len claiming its all him that he wanted to do radio...who the fuck knows anymore.
2020 Team - Bricklayer - 12-04-2020
We have no choice but to take him at his word, but I guarantee that the situation with marquee made it easier for him.
Just a gut punch in a year of gut punches. The idea of win a World Series with the Cubs and youll do no wrong has proven to be total bullshit.
Fuck the Ricketts. I hope they lose everything.
2020 Team - mrfelina - 12-04-2020
Fuck the Ricketts but I don't get why this is on them. I saw this on my phone this morning and never thought to blame them. Why would they have anything to do with this? Yeah, Marquee seems to be pretty clueless and that family is looking worse and worse but it wouldn't make sense for them to want to get rid of Len now.
2020 Team - jeffy - 12-04-2020
I love Len. Outside of the booth, he can be a bit unpredictable, so I guess the radio thing isn't too surprising. The rest of it is hard to swallow though. Why the god damned White Sox? Maybe he just loves the city and doesn't want to go any where else?
