Post subject:  B&B HOF that could realistically get 90%

I loved air conditioning, but I was really surprised that bacon didn't make it.... thought that would be automatic. 90% is way too high obviously... at least 10% of the listenership is interested in ruining the contest anyway, so I thought maybe 85% would have been a better metric.

Anyway, I have had this on the back burner for a while, and I really have only come up with one other thing that could get in with air conditioning. It's very hard to think of something that nobody else will have a negative spin on.

What a total waste.

It was pretty lame, I don't know if I would call it the lamest. But no bones about it, it was very lame.

I wasn't listening basically all week, but there's a few that come to mind:

Michael Jordan
'85 Bears
Ditka
Alcohol
Chocolate
Kate Upton
Pillow
Toilet Paper
Sex


People don't like Jordan's attitude now
People want the Bears to win now, not 30 years ago
People don't like his kids DUI
Some people are allergic
Women
Hard to think of an argument against pillow -- that's not bad.
Bidet lovers
People who are sexless.

Their HOF polls got trolled. Its pretty easy to figure that out.

Imma let you finish....but what's in the vending machine today was the worst segment of all time.....OF ALL TIME

would not have been the worst idea to have an actual Score HOF, with an annual induction ceremony, thus eliminating the uncomfortable Ozzie scenarios...and probably selling out each year.

1 or 2 players, for off the field activities, not really charitable, could just be Score type guys, funny, listeners
1 On Air person
1 Radio, Play by play guy
1 caller?texter? Give Patio Steve his due!

DOUG COLLINS SHOW
'Lets go out to Patio Steve in Des plaines"
Doug: Steve How are you? What's up?
Steve: well I am on vacation and got some thoughts for you
Doug: where did you go on your vacation?
Steve: My Patio, where else?

Neil from Northlake and on and on.

But like I said many times, I could never do that radio job gig, way too tough to think of these ideas all day and get paid for that!

I agree. It's a bunch of disparate nonsense in search of a theme. Usually that doesn't start until 6:00.

You know what else everybody likes? A parfait! You ever met a person, you say "let's get some parfait." They say "hell no, I don't like no parfait?" Parfaits are delicious. Parfaits gotta be the most delicious thing on the whole damn planet!

I still can't figure out how they didn't have a free screening of Big Fan for listeners with an appearance by the director or Patton Oswalt or whoever. Shit they have Slapshot and Hosier screenings but not one with a movie about sports talk radio.

Not exactly a flattering portrait of sports talk radio and its callers, but your point is taken Dolphin.

It would be kind of fun to have a sociological discussion of people who call in, with people who call in sitting in the room.

Then charge 15 bucks like they are doing with Hoosiers. I'll front the 15 for Ten foot Midget, Maddux Boy and Schmutzie to sit in the front row just to see the looks on their faces when Bernstien details how he really feels about callers.

Exactly what I thought when I heard only one made it. The idea was so ESPNish from the start. Still surprised B&B actually did that, couple that with the fact they anticipate repeating it next year. You set a ridiculous baseline like 90%, of course the trolls will troll. Surprised King Troll Bernstein didn't see that one coming.

He may have, but let Abbatacola set it up. Even he admitted he first thought about setting it at 75% or something. I hope this is a sweep under the rug bit.

It's funny that of the four owners in town, the one who actually, in real life here, did dynamically reimagine his team by hiring smart people to scout, draft, and develop en route to a championship while also hiring smart people to blast open huge new revenue streams, is the only one whose ass he doesn't incessantly kiss.
