Ivan, do you follow his articles in the DH?

Every now and agian. Not as much as I could, I suppose...

I love how Rozner just throws Bernsie's shit back at him. He's not afraid to have a differing opinion, and he'll stand by his opinion. He doesn't take everything Bernstein says as gospel. Every other fill in seems intimidated by Dan. Barry isn't.

Is Rozner that much younger than Terry?

Not funny enough. The show would get old quickly.

I like his sense of humor. It's different than Boers' stuff, but not bad...

I've gotta think he is. I thought I heard Boers once say he's 60, while Bernsy's 40.

I think Boers is about 62 and Rozner is about 50. Bernstein is in his mid 40s.

*SIGH* I, I, I, I, look, as much as I, uh, as I talk about retiring to write my book, uh, um, eh, it's pretty presumptuous of you pantsless cretins to pick out my replacement years before I plan to go, pretty, pretty presumptuous, *SIGH*, look, again, in point of fact, I, I, I plan on being around here to guide my little mulatto friend LaaaawnHomes and my Belizean buddy, Jason for a long time, a loooooong time, so unless, uh, eh, eh, unless you guys know something that I don't, for the love of God, just stop this nonsense right now, uh, uh, and, look, again, if I were to quit, my replacement sure as hell ain't gonna be Barry Damn Rozner, eh, uh, eh, eh, I mean, Rozner and danny bernstein full-time?, uh, uh, too pseudo-intellectual-y, too North Shorey, uh, eh, look kids, let's call it what it is, too damn Jewish, so why don't you walking rectums go back to your silly little argument about whether some Cub minor leaguer is better than the AL MVP and leave the tough decisions to Rod and Mitch, for the love of God!!!!!

Yeah. Rozner should be Bernstein's partner. I'll go one step further. I think it's been discussed at the Score. I think it's in the works. Barry's profile at the station has gone up. He does "Hit and Run", subs on the morning show and is Bernstein's personal favorite to sub on his show.

1. Newspapers are going out of business. Barry knows it. You'd have to think a suburban paper is most in jeopordy compared to city papers. Barry has probably been pushing himself on Mitch Rosen and talking behind Terry's back with Bernstein.

2. Barry's accomplished. That's why he's a good match for Bernstein. He's written 3 books and has won awards as a writer according to his Daily Herald bio. He did the Cubs beat for a long time and has been a columnist for a long time. Because of his resume, he's sure of himself unlike the other Score guys who are lacking in credibility and are intimidated/overmatched by Bernstein. Barry also has good sources in hockey and baseball.

3. Bernstein likes and respects Rozner. It's important cuz Bernstein doesn't like or respect most people. Certainly not Larry or his producers. So it couldn't work with them. It would just be Bernstein making them look like fools which is what he does to them now. It would also be a lot of childish fights if it were Goff or Drinky - fighting with Bernstein just to fight with him. Larry, of course, would continue to suck up to Bernstein and repeat everything Bersntein says to get his approval. These things just wouldn't make for a good full time show.

He seems to struggle when the show gets "silly" which is normally when it's at it's best.

I think the Chicago Tribune will be the only survivor. It's still the 3rd biggest city in the country, so we'll have one paper. I don't think the Sun-Times or Daily Herald will be around in 5 years.
