Due to work obligations and other things, I haven't been able to listen to the time slot B&B as much as I used to (mercifully). These two, particularly Dan have done what would have once been the impossible and driven me away from The Score. Been a loyal Score guy since day 1, I've finally had enough of these guys and will not listen anymore. The few moments I have had to listen to these guys, it's the same thing day after day. Dan picking on callers who say "we" when referencing their team or making a huge ordeal if someone says something like, "I went to the game..." Danny cuts the caller off and starts yelling that it doesn't matter. I don't understand why he gets so fired up about this stupid shit, makes for an impossible listen.

I've been listening to the guys on ESPN more often, even though I cannot stand the ESPN brand and what they stand for. The hosts are vanilla and they don't say anything controversial/edgy but at least they treat their audience with respect and talk sports. They don't come across as miserable people who loathe their job so they will get my attention from now on, pretty much by default.

Maybe I'm off base but it seems like Bernstein has gotten into Mike North territory or worse in terms of his ego. I get that the Joe Pa thing was possibly the biggest scandal in the history of college sports but Jesus Christ, I didn't need to get this crap crammed down my throat for three months straight (probably could've chosen my words better). I don't want to turn on sports radio and hear some tool rail against Christianity. I don't want to turn on sports radio to listen to some dork preach about gay rights or other social issues for weeks on end. I could handle it once in a while but it's too much with Bernstein, almost like he's above talking sports.

I'm curious to see how the ratings shake out over the next year. These guys seem hell-bent on pissing everyone off who listens to their show. We'll see how this formula works out in the long run.


Congrats on your decision to not listen. I agree with everything you say except for one thing--I came to this this conclusion a couple of years ago. These are two of the most annoying, miserable f***ing d'bags I've ever heard on any broadcast medium. A person who enjoys sports for what it is and continues to listen to these two pricks must have some kind of serious self-loathing issues or something.


Self-loathing? No.
Something? Yes. Thanks for the diagnosis.

The show still makes me laugh -- and that's all that matters to me.
As for those who have decided to PTFB, it's a free country. While I don't agree with these assesments, and I won't argue about your right to voice your opinion -- even though I don't agree with it.

As soon as transition with Mac & Spiegs ends, I PTFB following the John Feinstein "CBS Sports Minute" and listen to something else. I'll get news for about 90 minutes on WBBM Newsradio, including the daily commentary from Dave Ross at 1:42P, and then listen to...Garry Meier on 720 WGN if there's no Cubs' game preempting. Garry has grown on me, and he's very entertaining unlike Weezey & Boo-Boo as ex-Sun-Times' reporter Jim O'Donnell referred to Terry & Dan a while back.

The guys constant attacks on Derrick Martell Rose and their continuing refusal to have a doctor educate them and listeners regarding Derrick's long recovery from a torn ACL has turned me off.


They are right about Derrick, but you're wise to change the channel.

See this is where you lose me. You are more than welcome to not listen and to voice your opinions, but to take it to the extreme of painting anyone that still enjoys this show as self loathing is just stupid. You have your opinion and others have theirs. You don't want Bernsie painting with a broad brush about you so don't do it to those of us who still enjoy the show.

What do you like about the show? And as Bernsie always says, "Be specific". :D

I know damn well that if I still listened to this show, I would still love it.

I really hope they actually do switch to middays.

As long as they're not doing one of the forbidden seven topics, it's still the best show by a mile.


It makes me so mad that you're right. :evil: :evil: :evil:

It is pretty simple. There are days I do not enjoy the show as much as others. But for the most part they usually always entertain me. Even on days they are doing the whole serious radio bit, something will be brought up or said that entertains me.

Others disagree. It's cool, just don't say we are all self loathing to still enjoy the show.

RFDC is right. They make me laugh but if they start up with scolding people for awhile,I just listen to music.

No. I get what you mean, it's the only show on the radio that isn't beholden to anyone* but the hosts. But do you like it when Dan goes out of his way to chastise some doof for daring to use the royal "We" when talking about sporting teams? Do you like the "poor people should move to where they're aren't as many murders"?

I like the fact that they don't let the kind of bullshit that hosts at ESPN would let fly but I also hate the fact that they don't let the kind of things that hosts at ESPN would let fly. So you can see where I'm conflicted.


*If CuriousHair is reading this, the thing you are thinking about is of course an exception.
