So if Boers is talking to a black caller about the NBA and disagrees with a thought the caller may have (even that is a longshot if he's black), does he call him a dumbass Negro? Why is it ok to call a NASCAR fan dumbass cracker? So much for the Beardown is crazy, they never call people crackers contingent

Briefly listening as I ran an errand in the car. A WTF moment followed by MadduxBoy. The PTFB reaction comes now instantaneously. Don't know what led up to it but so unnecessary, can't even "hate listen".

Yeah, this hasn't exactly been a hive of activity lately. I guess JRW really was a hate-listening extravaganza. Now all that's here is people who wonder why there's no White History Month.

"TV news is pushing some sort of populist agenda. Shame on them for that." Only Dan.

And more bad Steve Goodman thoughts along with this idea that Mark Grote is going to bring "edge" to the broadcast. Come on, he's the Funny Impression Guy, not Lenny Bruce.

Grote is going to be bad, but out of the choices they had, he might of been the best. They really kept the bar low for this hiring. Dan is really trying to sell the poker tournament. Only 3 days left, no sellout, and they have given away 10 spots in the last 3 shows. Goff was even on twitter this weekend trying to sell the camp. Guessing Berns must of asked him to put it out there.

Lol, wait til 5:10 and now Dan starts telling random Marshall things he was told and heard.

I have never known one single white person who was bothered by being called a "cracker." You can call me "cracker" all day long, I will just giggle and shrug it off.

It is not even a real slur.

Did he really say that? I guess I shouldn't be surprised. It's pretty obvious he feels his job as a member of the media is to be a mouthpiece for the rich.

Word for word or close to it.

Many of the few African-American players on Major League rosters actually come from the suburbs. This is because twenty-first-century neoliberal cities have gentrified urban black baseball to death. Boys and Girls Clubs have become bistros. Baseball fields are condos and in many cities, Little League is non-existent. The public funds for the infrastructure that baseball demands simply do not exist, but the land required for diamonds are the crown jewels of urban real estate. That’s what made JRW such a profound anomaly. In Chicago particularly, which under Mayor Rahm Emanuel has seen school closures and brutal cuts to physical education programs, their success made people believe that—with apologies to Tupac—flowers could in fact grow in concrete.

Yeah he broke bad on them. Can't remember if it was shame on you or unfortunate.

Allow me to make a second attempt.

What kind of Dumbass is Westside Mike?

"We may have reached a point of mission creep on the [Charles] Barkley Brand."--Dan Bernstein, 2/16/15



WTF?

WTF is mission creep?

Pittmike: "Mission creep" is a term usually applied to military conflicts that experience changing objectives and result in prolonged engagement.
