I just heard Adam Hog and whichever generic bernstein clone was on with him interviewing Mike DeCourcy. (DeCourcy didn't know who the other guy was either as he referred to him as "the other host". ) They ostensibly had him on to talk college hoops but they immediately tried to get into where Doug McDermott would be drafted. DeCourcy smacked them down. When they hung up, naturally they started making fun of him. They were saying that their listeners are far more interested in draft position than in Creighton basketball. Uh, are you sure about that, boneheads?

Look, I know you aspire to be bernstein and the NBA is bernstein's favorite sport, but the NCAA tournament is far more popular than the stupid ass NBA. It was fun listening to DeCourcy wang-whip you douchebags though.

but the NCAA tournament is far more popular than the stupid ass NBA.

I wonder if that'd be the case if the NBA playoffs were happening @ the same time.

I certainly think it would. Ironically, the very thing li'l danny loves about the NBA and its playoffs is the same thing that makes it so damn boring. If we know who the best team is, and we know they're going to win, why watch? If we are already 95% certain of the end result then it just comes down to watching circus performance.

that guy used to be north's college basketball expert... if it werent for gambling no one would give two craps about the NCAA toruney

So now Mac's AP is a Bernstein guy. Did this board wake up and drink a big vat of stupid juice today?

Unless you listened to the segment, shut the fuck up. I didn't even know it was Shepkowski, but the show was in full bernstein mode.

so wait a minute, just because score producer/host X happens to be mac's producer we're going to overlook the thing where basically 95% of the score's producer/fill-in-hosts are bernstein clones? (wayne randazzo being my #1 guy who isn't, however since he's intelligent and confident i've heard him be called a bernstein clone by scorehead or someone, so what do i know?)

yeah man, i think what they're getting at is that all of these producers/lesser-score-guys see bernstein's reign as FOTStein and therefore try to emulate his mannerisms when they get a chance to host a show. bernstein, for better or (mainly) worse has convinced everyone at the station that the thing to do when you get your own show is tower above all of your guests (and especially callers) because they're all idiots unless they're in complete lockstep with your talking points (and believe you bernstein has them, seeing as his "rosebud" is that he imitates skip bayless nowadays.... except instead of embracing debate dan takes it to the level and says THERE IS NO [DEBATE/ARGUMENT] HERE!!!!!!!!!!" --- he must have been a natural on his high school debate team.

so yeah man, even tho "six feathers" or whatever is a mac guy.... i think the point being made here is that when he gets a chance to host a show he's buddying up with the other avowedly-bernstein-clone and doing the bernstein clone schtick where they're way up there and we're all down here because when you have the 50kw torch of truth in your hands, duh, you're right because your voice is echoing across ~40% of america + the internet when it gets dark out. and they'll always mix in the calls to be tinny and obviously not as robust-sounding as the hosts because that's a poignant metaphor for what's going on here: THE HOST IS ALWAYS RIGHT.

btw, did i miss something where lately it's been baby mac vs the board lately? he seems to have that whole tupacian "it's just me against the world" thing embraced and i'm wondering what we as a board did to him to warrant this.

Well let's start from the top here smart guy. 95% of the fill in hosts. So let's see.. you already said Randazzo wasn't. Grote certainly isn't. Rozner certainly isn't. Zawaski when he get's airtime isn't. So now please list for me 95 other people who do fill in / weekend hosting duties at WSCR. I'll hang up and listen for my answer.

no, see, this is exactly my point.... why are you running around like a pissed off headless chicken all gruff and yelling at people like LISTEN SMART GUY [you're wrong] in under 1-2mins from my posting?

what happened with you? why are you at war with the board? my apologies for generalizing about score hosts, i'll have to make a mental note to have my stat department put in some overtime for my future posts because baby mcnown might be around and he doesn't fuck around with "generalizations."

You called a MAC guy a BERNSTEIN clone. Thinking I'm not the one that needs to shut the fuck up.

You wrote 3 paragraphs about how I'm wrong and a penis, and started it off by using completely a completely over inflated statement just to make you look right. So either list 95 other fill in hosts or shut the fuck up.

Maybe you've been gone the past couple weeks. I've been getting along with everybody (Chas excluded) just fine. If you want to come be a penis I have no issue going full BMac on you.

GIANT THROBBING SAVORY COCK!

Might be in a lot of these guys' best professional interests to act like and cozy up to Bernstein.

Bernstein himself said he will never try to help a coworker out professionally. So I'm not sure about that.

Well, I haven't heard that before, but I guess it could be true.

But that said, The Score seems to like Bernstein's personality and it gets good ratings and has for a long time. So again, it might be a good personality to borrow.

BernSTINE is a huge piece of shit.
