Just in the last few weeks the show has hit a new low, going from being a sports tabloid news show by making up a story about the Bears wanting to trade Cutler, which was false, to now using planted callers.

wow, being a VIP sports show caller

is that like Elmhurst Steve's dream ?

As if the trajectory of the show wasn't heading down enough already, Bernstein stooped to a new low yesterday by having a guy call up with the Moniker, "Chainsaw" to talk about something---maybe it was Florida St.'s football program---and act like a real caller when the call had been pre-arranged. Toward the end Bernstein blew the caller's cover, only to excuse himself because, "The guy had real information."

To my knowledge, this is a first for the show. But it begs the question how many other times in the past the show has had people with pseudonyms calling up just so they can agree with Boers and Bernstein views?

Almost as bad as Bernsteins unwarranted shots at Patrick Sharp.

Some people think Dan reads "emails from listeners" that he wrote himself

I think it's plausible

Bernstein wins again over Undignified Boob

I suppose Undignified Boob is preferable to Malodorous Twat.

Just punch in AM 1000. Much better listening.

Seminoles and Blackhawks all look alike?

That's not at all what happened.

Guy called up to talk Blackhawks and made some really good points about Q's roster moves for the play offs. After the caller was done, Bernsie pointed out that he was the editor of the Committed Indian and then made the joke, "I would normally make fun of callers like him..."

Your post is a new low in unwarranted shots at Bernstein. Not even close to remotely accurate on any level.

It doesn't matter if he was talking about Q's roster moves or Florida St. What matters is the guy was pretending to be an real caller, when his identify and what he was going to talk about was known by Bernstein before-hand and the call was handled as if he was just another anonymous caller. I have no problem with B&B talking to writers on the air, but when you try to pull off a planted call as something spontaneous to fool the listeners, then the show amounts to a Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama press conference with fake reporters asking questions.

As for the Cutler story, there was no truth to it whatsoever at the time Bernstein was talking about the Bears wanting to trade him, because the Bears were using Cutler or at least encouraging him to reach-out to the San Diego receiver, who was signed. We've already discussed this and discredited Bernstein.

And I have to laugh your claim of my "unwarranted shots "on Bernstein, as if his reputation were unimpeachable.

What does matter is you obviously didn't hear the call and have no idea what you are talking about.

So you post something about Bernstein that is patently false.

The call was obviously not pre-arranged.

Bernstein let the listeners know who the caller was so as to not appear like he was hiding it.

Judging by the caller's reaction he would have preferred that he not be named.

The Cutler thing has nothing to do with what occurred yesterday.

So in conclusion, you have engaged in the same behavior that Bernstein has to try and prove a point here.

Did Young Sam grow up to be the nerd I expected him to be?

Of course I heard the call. What stood out was not the substance of the call, but the way the caller was handled by Bernstein, where first he is introduced with the pseudonym and then later revealed for he really was. I don't know how you call something like my claim patently false, but then use words like "judging by the caller's reaction", meaning you're giving your opinion.

The Cutler episode is just one in a pattern of duplicitous behavior to point to by Bernstein. It's an unbecoming for any broadcaster trying to pass himself off as legit.

Of course I heard the call.
