Interesting. Some might say that this report contrdicts the other report, but not really. Both could be true. Contract talks could be going bad, but Mitch and Bernstein still need to be prepared if he is retained and Boers is out. I think it would be a Bernstein call. He would have that stipulated in any new contract that he picks a new partner. But I think he'd rather just go solo cuz that is how he could make the most money.

Q makes some good points, by the way.

If in fact Bernstein doesn't choose Larry it would break Larry's heart. It would mean years of ass kissing would go for nothing. Moreover, it would just hurt that his idol doesn't think much of him.

The Score had Terry's replacement, but they let him go to Atlanta. They should have told Holmes that he needed to reduce his role. This guys has a show on the Score, Bears reporter, instructor at DePaul, NBC News, and does DePaul games. He probaby should stick to one, and master that first. Bowen would be a rough listen full-time. It would be like when Hampton was doing shows, one trick pony.

Dan's really leaning McKnight by the way.

If Mitch hopes to groom Bowen for full time employment, I hope he keeps him as far away from Dan as possible. Bowen is a great combination of knowledge and personality. He sounds like doug not only in town but in character. The only time Dan would admit to drinking something as low brow as Busch Light is when he is attempting to establish his college party animal cred.

Bowen is OK on football. He would be brutal on everything else. We tried this already with Buffone.

Bowen has no personality, is boring as hell, and talks way too fast. Hes a tough listen for me. Berns with either Rosey or Roz would work.

Yes, although at least Hub is a BIG FAN of the Bulls and Cubs. We're talking about a daily gig as well, not a sub position.
