A caller says the Bears should trade Jay Cutler. He doesn't know the name of the Bears' backup QB. Thinks the Bears should trade Cutler for Drew Brees or Aaron Rodgers. Rozner keeps saying "What about McGowan? You liked him, right?" Bad. |

On the other hand, he was annoying Bernstein, who started ignoring him, so that was funny. |

Rozner is extremely pessimistic on the Bears/NFL and sounds like a complete idiot. Last week, he suggested that the Bears had no offensive talent, and then later wondered why teams with bad offensive lines just do what Denver did defensively. The guest reminded him that you'd need a great secondary and the pass rusher in football to replicate the Broncos. Today, he starts the show with the NFL product is awful and the Bears are horrible. The guy shouldn't be allowed to talk football. |

Yeah the awful NFL play seems to be the narrative of the show early on this season. Now they have evolved to the college game is superior with all the powerhouses having 80-90 players and next stud up. |

Do you really want to hear Barry McGowan-ing? You don't. It was insane......unless this was a tag-team caller-Rozner troll. Even then, not sure it's worth it. That caller was delightfully idiotic, though. Definite troll. |

do Sir and Dan really think they are the wild guys at the Score? They were talking during transition about going to some producer's wedding like they were the life of the party. They were also describing the young guys at the Score getting older and you can see that there is absolutely no young talent pushing for air time at that place anymore. I don't like the present of the station very much but the future is even more bleak |

And always first. That's because he has to hurry back to grooming an 11 year old boy on the other line. Or that's what it sounds like anyways. |

He must have watched Osweiler play a different team then i did Sunday. He should have had over 300 yds passing and at least one more TD. |

I'd say it's not quite as bad as you might characterize it but I would agree that there's little good reason it shouldn't be better. |

Program directors aren't really willing to go flush out new talent, they want to go with the commodity they think they know, because while it certainly isn't the best (or in some cases any good), the complete unknown is much scarier. It's why Mac had to try really, really hard to get fired from 670, why Terry is allowed to make 400K from his den, why Spiegel has been through 3 different partners, why Goff returned, why Barry is the go-to fill in and likely the next on-air full-timer, why the only Score Search for an air talent was merely an elaborate way to hire Conor McKnight, etc. In this case, Mitch knows Barry, Terry, Goff, and Spiegel will do their part to set the pace for WMVP in PPM, and all he has to do is latch onto Cubs baseball at the right time, and he'll be safe. It's the same everywhere, I've seen PD's getting absolutely killed in the ratings by a rival sports station, barely showing up in the all-day PPM ratings, and they are still perfectly fine piping in ESPN or Fox Sports synidcated shows instead of making a go of finding and utilizing fresh talent. |

Idk about everywhere. The CBS local sports station here does a fine job and you don't get the crap. You get a touch of off topic funny or serious stuff for a SHORT bit then back to sports. ESPN is non existent here. Also last time I knew Detroit had THREE decent sports talkers. |

PD's and Mitch do what they are told by market managers. Plain and simple. PD' s don't develop talent unless they are told and Mitch has no authority to sign contracts with any sports teams. |

That's not entirely true. PD's have discretion to acquire and groom new talent, to my knowledge, so long as they can make ends meet budget-wise, and don't have to go to the mother nipple for more funds. |

Maybe normal program directors do, but the suspicion here has always been that Mitch is a rather neutered program director. |

Mitch is a nervous, scared SOB that just wants to get through the day without being fired. He's one of those guys. So he hides underneath his desk for 8 hours and when he's forced to talk to his horrible SCORE people he just says "You're great". So they all think they're great. Bernstein's words: "Mitch is a guy that asks you how you're doing and before you can look up to respond he's down the hall and in his office before you can answer." |

I'm not asking him to be optimistic, and I'm not suggesting they are a playoff team this year, but I would expect improvement over last season. Rozner doesn't know much about football and it shows in some of his definitive statements that aren't as black/white as he makes. The last 25 years don't really have any impact on the current job that Ryan Pace and John Fox are currently doing. They may fail, but to declarative statements based on pre-season football is usually a bad thought. |
