The players think they have it rough, what with all the bone-rattling decelerations, spectacular, airborne ligament-destructions, and brutally concussive forces that leave them dazed and bloody each week.

They liken it to being in a regular, Sunday car crash, and maybe they’re right.

But their lives are easy compared to those of us who must stare at a Monday phone bank filled with eight pale-green lights, blinking in unison – one for each phone line that holds its own special brand of postgame reaction. By the time we emerge from the studio on most Mondays we too are broken men, leveled by crashing waves of Bears Stupid. Often, we are taken directly to area hospitals.

It's such a tough job to take calls from angry Bears fans after another loss where the great Jay Cutler played worse than Kyle Orton once again. Doug and O'B don't have a problem. Maybe because they're Bear fans who usually agree with the callers, not elitist pricks who know more than obsessive fans who live for Bears football.

Seriously?

Yeah, seriously. Anyone who thinks it's difficult working a five hour shift taking Bear fan calls in an economy when over 10% of people are out of work should be taken out back and bullwhipped.

And you read that as serious?

You guys really read that as serious?

Really?




Really??

A fan can overcome his own natural stupidity by licking danny's balls.

Thats the thing though Speeps, Lil Danny comes off as such an arrogant fuckstick so many times that when he tries to pen a parody piece if thats what that is , he still comes off as an arrogant fuckstick. He really cant have it both ways. He totally believes that what he wrote, he's just trying and failing to put a weary everyman spin on it.

You're right.

He literally believes that he has it difficult working a five hour shift taking Bear fan calls in an economy when over 10% of people are out of work.

Good Lord.

It’s Ur-LACK-er, not Ur-LOCK-er. Just remember that he plays line-BACK-er, not line-BOCK-er. It’s not as grating as hearing “Greg Maddox” or “Kerry Woods,” but it’s getting close.

Don’t ask that players behave like fans. Screaming and fist-pumping is for you to do, not for them, and you mustn’t need to see your feelings reflected back at you by professionals busy trying to do their respective jobs.

In fact, and I don't mean to sound like an ass licker...

And he's 100% wrong about Doug and O'B. They aren't "made of sturdier stuff." They don't need to be. They are their caller. If a guy named Bob from the 815 called into B&b on a Monday and expressed some of the opinions often stated by those two in the post-game show, they'd be absolutely ridiculed by Team bernstein.

Clearly a sarcastic article. And I'm well aware that Dan Bernstein comes across as a peenus most days, but this article was clearly a bit.

JORR, you got punk'd by BurnSTINE.

Dey should move dat Zorich ta linebacker!

Is the "Rongey has the world's toughest job" thing a bit too?

Kid's right again JORR. Bernsie got ya!

I'm not really looking for a roll call vote of the members of bernstein's ALS.
