Guys, despite all the texts & tweets, Bernsy isn't about to stop talking about Sandusky.
First part of the show Ive heard in a while and it was that declaration from little Danny. I love his defiance in the face of such overwhelming odds with his audience. A real public servant he is.

yep and a dick head.

Bernsie did say he would trade for Andrew Luck, but I don't remember any conversation four years ago about never giving that idea a thought.

I think the WYC question is more so that they engaged in fantasy barstool talk for 2-3 segments. Many callers have been denigrated for proposing similar hypothetical trades. They've made it clear their intelligent sports show is above such stupid talk (I don't think it's stupid and enjoyed yesterday.).


You're comparing that to, "Hey guys, how you doing? I have a possible trade for the White Sox. WE send Orlando Hudson and Brent Murrel to the Angels for Mike Trout. I agree that their thoughts were fantasy, but they admitted as much that the Colts would be stupid to make the trade offer. In my example, the caller actually believes this is a fair trade.

Guys, I think you meant Brent Morel, although MLB Network's Matt Abbatacola kept calling him "Brent Moral" during a White Sox/Tigers' game last year on "MLB on FOX".

That's E-1 if you're scoring...I meant to say MLB Network's Matt Vasgersian. My mistake. :oops: :oops:

Just messing with you about the E-1 thing. I would peg SHARK as more of a 3B or 1B kinda guy.

Man, chill with that "run cover" bullshit.

The way SHARK framed the crap in his original post would not have been applicable. I was not wrong.

The way RPB framed it would have been perfect. I just gave him props.

Would it have been impossible for you to agree with RPB without taking a shot at me?

I didn't read RPB's post.

I just read yours.

How am I supposed to know what RPB said if I didn't read his post?

Meh, pretty lame attempt. But I used a relatively big word in "denigrate" so Bernsy would've read it over the air.

They should compare Andre Dawson and Jack Clark the year Dawson won MVP. Dawson never would have won it today.

I missed this segment. What do you think is going on? I'm always interested in ways that Jerry Reinsdorf might be a piece of crap.

Uh oh! Following Doug Gottlieb's latest "CBS Sports Minute" and these very important messages, there will be a RED ALERT! RED ALERT! from Halas Hall in Lake Forest. You know the one.

CH, Bernsy mentioned it right around the time USA Today's Bob Nightengale Tweet about a rumored White Sox shakeup in the front office was revealed.

Did he say what the reason might be (my guess is Reinsdorf went into No Negotiating With Agents mode when Scalabrine became a potential coach), or just allude to something?

Nothing specific was mentioned. I have a feeling that one of two issues has evolved. The first would be JR related, or possibly his son. Thibs can command a decent salary now. They may not want to pay. The second issue is GarPax may not be happy with how the season ended and how the prodigy was handled last season. If they feel that some blame for Rose being constantly injured is related to Thibs, they may not want him around. .02

edit on your second question. It was all allusion. "There has to be some reason Scal won't be coaching. I have been hearing about some friction". That's about it.

Could just be that Scalabrine is annoying and unproven as a coach, thus worthless to the Bulls' continued operations. They already did "annoying and unproven as a coach" and seemed to learn from it.

According to whom though? He signed on to coach. Then backed out and decided to do the thing in Boston. It's possible GarPax found him useless and Thibs wanted him, but I doubt GP would have let Thibs hire him in the first place if they didn't care for him.

According to ESPNChicago.com's Nick Friedell 2 weeks ago, the Bulls had resumed contract talks in regards to head coach Tom Thibodeau and a rumored extension beyond the team's option that the Bulls picked up right after their disappointing first round NBA Playoff exit vs. the 76ers this past spring, coinciding with Derrick Rose tearing his ACL at the end of Game 1, followed by Joakim Noah's awful ankle injury that prevented him from participating for France in the London Summer Olympics.

Back on September 5th when the story was posted on ESPNChicago.com, Friedell reported that talks between Thibodeau & management had stalled during the summertime and GM Gar Forman has repeatedly stated that the Bulls want to lock up Thibodeau contractually beyond this year's option. It is a mystery why the Bulls haven't signed Thibodeau to a long term deal, except to suggest that the Bulls don't want a Scott Skiles situation again.

Skiles, now the Milwaukee Bucks' head coach, signed an extension after the Bulls won 47 regular season games in the 2006-07 season. No sooner did he sign his extension, we all remember how bad the Bulls became in 2007 and Skiles was relieved of his duties on Christmas Eve that year. Needless to say, the Bulls don't want another Skiles-like situation with Thibodeau.

Well, Thibodeau must be doing something right. He's won over 100 games in his first 2 seasons as an NBA head coach, yet the Bulls don't want to break the bank in the process. It doesn't seem fair, but this is business and Thibodeau may be the latest Bulls' head coach to end up playing hardball with Owner/Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf for a new deal.

Of course he's doing something right. They're winning games with some real boobs on the floor. Maybe it's Tibs playing hardball, who knows?
