I see him moving up to C-B-S-SPORTS-RA-DI-O!! before he goes to WGN. He's been a loyal CBS foot soldier; they might actually reward one of them for once.

why would Bernsie go there?

He would like to straighten everyone out on all topics, not just sports.l

I'd disagree that it would suck no matter what. Of course, now that Dan has doubled down on corporate liberalism and stopped worrying about being funny, his show would have a sky-high chance of sucking, but we used to love Dan's solo shows around here because he would drop a lot of the shtick and just be himself. Of course, "himself" has changed over the years.

While we all rip on Terry for his sources and not watching, or sometimes even paying attention to his own show, he is the comedy and smart ass that makes them a popular listen. When he is gone, the ratings go.

gotta disagree with the Boers part here. I could never imagine him contributing to the show's popularity. His existence on the show is limited to approving Dan's monologues and reinforcing Dan's abuse of callers. You said when he's gone, the ratings will go, but he's actually been gone for a long, long time.

Vegan - Terry gets paid the most of anyone there. he has been there the longest.

Do you think if he has zero impact on the Score as you claim, why do you think they pay him the most?

bernsteins act changes 100% when terry isnt there. he doesnt have anyone to confirm his thoughts, or its like he losses his bodyguard and he plays the part of the pussy.

I am not going to claim Terry works on the show at all. 50% of the time, he turns on the mic at home and just starts talking. Thats about as little of an effort as one can have, but it still makes an impact. Like it or not

There are four kinds of people in sports talk radio:
-Radio Guys
-Former athletes
-Columnists
-Former Hot Dog Stand Owners

At present, The Game seems to be leaning Radio Guy/Ex Jock, but, as has been pointed out, many of these guys could be placeholders. Dan Bernstein is a radio guy who leans/aspires columnist if I'm not mistaken. I don't think he fits. Too gravitas-y. I think they will eventually counterprogram a meatball against him, wherever he ends up, kind of like how WCIU Channel 26/Comcast 381/U-Verse 5543 always programs "The Three Stooges" against 'Masterpiece Classics" on PBS.

Ideally you'd probably want a host that combines the best of those four categories, but for obvious reasons that's not a realistic proposition.

The closest thing to that would be fill-in host, ex-Redskin, Tribune columnist, and putative grilled-meat enthusiast Matt Bowen. Be careful what you wish for.

Terry. His salary is probably linked to his seniority, .

Terry is the glue that holds the show together. The smartass remarks go a long long way. When they are done with that, the show is gone and one.

Everyone there knows it

Why else pay a guy more than anyone at the station, for a guy who hardly participates in anything at the station and unless it is a sunny day to drive in, he doesnt?

Seniority?

This would be true, vegan, if you wanted the whole audience. But what the 3rd sports station in the market should probably try to do is slice off a nice slab of the existing audience that is underserved. Harry and Spike should have a big sign in the studio that says 'SABRMETRICS" with a red circle and a line through it in front of it.

Berns reputation as a jagoff who rips callers & fans & is a lousy station teammate limits his job opportunities. Many radio GM's don't want guys like him. I doubt DeCastro would want to poison The Game by hiring Bernsie.
