Why I hate HUGE


Disclaimer: I hate HUGE

I hate the Huge, aka Bill Simonson, on WBBL the Ball 1340 Am. I really do! Today on his show he goes off about how he wants to go national and that his syndicate head says he would put him up against Jim Rome. Then for the next hour all huge (I am no longer going to use caps in his name as a sign of literary disrespect) does is field calls from folks who say that Rome sucks and that the huge is amazing and would run the Jungle out of the business. One guy called and said that Rome is a self absorbed bias individual who repeats himself over and over and over again, excuse me but that is the entire huge show everyday except the days when the dude from ann arbor is on because huge is gone. Another guy called and said huge is to Kirk Herbstreet as Rome is to Corso. His logic, huge is on point level, headed and gives credit where credit is due, Rome is just obnoxious. My logic, Corso rocks and Herbstreet is from Ohio State. If that listener watches Game Day he would have seen a sign in the crowd this year referencing the growing legend that is Chad in Portland, gaining fame from the icon of sports radio Jim Rome. I don’t see many testosterone Tuesday signs up at Game Day sights. I am sorry folks but its not close. Lets compare the two for a minute

Top Five things about the Jungle
The Smack-Off
The Clones
Major Sports Icons as Guests
Pop Culture Icons as Guest Hosts
One day a month devoted to either horse racing, homeschooled kids, and/or cock fighting
Alvin’s Clips (Adult Alarm, The Donald v Rosie, etc.)

Top Five things about the Huge Show
Bill claiming to love ND, Mich, and Mich St all at one time
Callers who cant read
The biggest guest spot of the year, Lloyd Carr interview.
One day a month devoted to race in the NFL, a pitch to go national, bitching at Moller
Those damn songs to promote the show

Face it Huge you’re a jackass who can’t hold a candle to Jim Rome. No one from your show has gone on to host his or her own program. No pro athlete is running to the radio at 3 pm to hear you and then calling to give their take. No one is coming on your show for karmic purposes. No one is taking time out of their schedule upon being asked to guest host your show. I hope you go national and I hope you get run. Then you’ll have to end up finding something else to do, like the time you were an XFL commentator.
