Berns has been branded as a boorish, negative, miserable soul.

By you perhaps... *soul* might overstating it a bit, don't you think? Maybe his radio personality can be summed up this way - I wouldn't agree with that assessment - but I wouldn't presume to know what his character is, or what he wants out of his career. He seems to have a pretty good life. Why would he be jealous of North? Honestly, why?

All I know is that Dan is pretty fucking funny, and not just at others' expense. The goofiness of his mid-90s solo shows comes out sometimes.

Who the hell needs a "Meteorologist" to do the weather? Anyone can get detailed weather info on line. I want to see a hot babe doing the weather.

North isn't exactly replacing Walter Cronkite or Dan Rather at CBS....he is just moving his sports themed version of Ray Rayner-Bozo's Circus to the local outlet in a reduced role......from 5 to 7 AM...when even the bars in Cicero are now closed....

Who will be the first to file harassment charges?

And that's another problem Bernsy has.

He can't convince himself of that very same lie that he keeps telling himself.

"After the kids are grown, I'll make my move."

"North is an idiot and can only get away with what he does cause he is single and has no responsibility."

"He's a meatball in a meatball town"

Like him or not, It takes big balls to do what North has done. Not everyone has them. Bernsy doesn't.

Not everyone can go sell himself like North does. Like him or not, and I personally haven't listened for years, It takes someone with a spine to walk away from what North did to strike out on his own. To swallow your pride and pitch a product and win to a company you flipped off 16 months ago.

That feeling of hunger that folks like Bernsy get, isn't for food. It's a desire to quit doing what's easy and comfortable and challenge yourself. It's the longing to actually take a chance in life.

Like I said, it's not for everyone, but for those who have had to crawl back out of the gutter by the grace of God, you know exactly what I am talking about.

Bernsy will probably never know that feeling. He'll just continue to rip the people who have done it because he can't stomach himself for not facing the fear of trying it.

All I know is that Dan is pretty fucking funny, and not just at others' expense. The goofiness of his mid-90s solo shows comes out sometimes.

Being a Douchbag is holding Berns back & keeping him from getting bigger & better employment offers. I can't think of one time that Berns was a potential candidate for a media job either in Chicago or anywhere else.

Your problem with Bernstein is he doesn't pander to simpletons.

Your hero, North, beat Bernstein out for the coveted 5-7 AM TV gig on Channel 2.

It's not jealousy. It's the difference between the guy who took the civil service job, and the one who struck out on his own. The civil service guy will always be convincing himself he did the right thing. If they actually can. Bernsy is the bitter government employee I ran into at the IRS office on Thursday. He's the angry and dismissive cop who stops you and treats you like shit. Some folks are made for these jobs, and there is nothing wrong with that. But they shouldn't stand in judgement on those who didn't take the comfortable way through life. Folks that believe that lifelong happiness is found in comfort have never really understood human nature.

Bernsy has been doing the same thing thing for ten years. Stuck would be a better word for his career path of late.

If Bernstein could actually sell himself to a network on a regular basis, why hasn't he done it?

And all I am saying is if your supposition is true, than Bernsy shouldn't be ripping North for having the gonads to try other ventures that Bernsy does not.

What a load of pseudo-psychological BS. As a Duke grad from a well-to-do family I'm sure he could have taken the easy path to a comfortable life. Instead he chose to pursue a career path with limited opportunity and a notable rate of failure. He has not only acheived a high level of success in his chosen profession, but also worked his way up through the ranks to earn that position.

Bernsie's point was that it is a strange combination to have North & Jigs on a show with a financial slant given that they were major players in what turned out to be a financial fiasco. Personally I think North hasn't displayed huge gonads as much as he has been grasping at straws in order to stay relevant & it's starting to become comical in a sad sort of way. I don't wish him ill-will...but I wouldn't mind seeing him exhibit a little humility either.
