Remember when everyone was so quick to want to have Terry replaced, and now that he was replaced everyone hates his replacement? That's pretty funny isn't it?

I don't remember people clamoring for him to be replaced as much as wanting the "old Terry" to come back.

Bernstein's #1 fan creates a straw man , how rich!

People wanted - I somewhat care - Terry to come back... Very few were excited to see him go.

We gonna do this?

Some long time listeners got sick of the change in tone of the entire show. It started with concussion crap (CTE!) and moved onto Penn State radio. Even before the show took a more serious turn, Terry had all but mailed it in. He offered nothing to the show, the proverbial Bernstein parrot.

Now we get Goff, who everyone complains about too! Amazing isn't it?

Naturally idiots flood the phone lines when Terry starts ... gonna need an overview please and thank you.

I heard about five minutes or so. He started off by proudly saying he hasn't seen Mitch (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky in a Bears uniform and did not watch a down of the Bears / Falcons game. Great way to start an interview to promote a book called "25 Years Talking Chicago Sports."

Yeah, and I am guilty of it as well. I loved Goff during the B&B tenure because he would pipe in and make a funny comment or two. I always thought he would make a great host. I continue to give the show my ear during the drive home, but I often can't make it through a full segment.

I have taken a strong liking to M&H, and I tolerate Kap even though I know it is junk.

I am a bit of a hypocrite too because I am in the "stick to sports camp", but I also liked the off topic stuff that Mac would do. I guess my distinction is that Mac's off topic stuff was light hearted, while B&G are commenting on partisan social issues. I just want the shows to be fun. I enjoy the Bears chats with Hub and ZZ.

Anthony Harren is fantastic. They should just go ahead and add him every day thru football season.

I think that is the essence. We're listening because we are sick of dealing with work issues or family issues or any other number of things. I want to be entertained by a caller who doesn't think LeBron belongs in the top 10 players in the league. I want to hear a Mike from Milwaukee telling me to pick Cal plus the points this weekend. Stories about TB cruising around as a youth in Harvey and Homewood. All of the entertaining High Noon stuff and Second Hand News. I want to listen to old war stories about producing for Murph.
If I want to listen to something harder hitting, I'm tuning into NPR or downloading a Politico podcast. But this is supposed to be an escape. I don't mind hearing something about how the NBA is discouraging tanking, or if Goodell should be in charge of discipline, but I'd like a nice mix of maybe 60% sports, 10% serious sports, and 30% just fun stuff.

I am with you guys. What I do not get is where was the market research to say the audience demanded hard hitting radio? Besides Bernsie's mood I mean. They can say ratings are good but they were also good before this trend as well. Idk, I have been out of their audience and am fine.

One other thing, my percentages are off because I forgot to reserve 45% of the time for commercials. Probably one of the main reasons I don't listen to radio as much anymore; there are way way too many commercials. These program clocks are like 8 minutes at the top of the hour, then what, three more blocks of 6 minutes in there?
