Everyday now during transition Bernstein says "So last night I was fighting with these idiots on Twitter."

but don't be going to the message boards! That's totally different!

Too bad Andy Rooney is dead.

Twitter or fb makes people legit apparently. Nobody ever hides behind one of those.

I've yet to see a genuine conversation on Twitter. Admittedly 140 characters makes real exchanges difficult, but Twitter is largely just people trying to one-up each other with their own cleverness.

I'll tip my cap to the members of this forum. We often have genuine and sincere conversations. I'm uncertain that bernstein even knows what a sincere conversation is. On his radio program he's almost always trying to tell you what he knows rather than attempting to listen to what someone else has to say. My guess is his Twitter feed is simply a truncated version of that with Maddux Boy and Ten Foot Midget re-tweeting him whilst adding their own versions of "Yeah Boyeeeeeeeeee!"

Here's to all my CSFMB brothers and sisters. Some of you may be douchebags, but you're still my brothers and sisters.

Biggie, maybe you can set up another "Ask Bernstein" thread around here....?

SomeGuy · **Posted:** Sat May 12, 2012 10:39 am

Can anyone here actually confirm that he is "arguing with idiots" and not just a person or two?

Bucky Chris · **Posted:** Sat May 12, 2012 10:42 am

I'd have to check, but I can't remember him really ever interacting with people other than the stupid crossword puzzles. It's probably just a bit to bring up stupid meatball ideas and pretend a lot of people believe it. Then people call in supporting the idea, he makes fun of them, calls them an idiot, and the show goes on.

He does have conversations with meatpants often on there

I haven't seen him engage in any "conversation" with anybody that isn't famous or works at The Score.

Curious Hair · **Posted:** Sat May 12, 2012 1:40 pm

If you expand the replies to each tweet, there will be random dudes replying to him, but I don't think he actually converses with any of them, because I never see anything posted with an "@BroBroerson" or whatever.

Lots of David Axelrod retweets lately, I've noticed. So he likes the Bulls, too. Big deal. I say if you're going retweet a David Axelrod, make it the library music composer who wrote "The Edge," which was sampled into "The Next Episode."

I've written before and I still believe it to be true: on air talent at the station was told to refrain from an internet presence outside the official website, facebook pages and twitter. It had to be more than a coincidence that 5 or more Score people used to post here regularly and openly but then, at almost idetical times, decided to restrict themselves.

Bigfan, why don't you verify this during one of your coffee clatches with the boys.

You're right Rodney. Berns does often miss the point of calls because he is really not listening to what the caller is saying. He is much more concerned with what he has to say in response to the subject line put on the screen by whomever is screening the calls. Even though it's readily apparent the angle the caller is taking, Mr. Intellectual seems miss it. People like that have always annoyed me. They're too worried about what they have to say rather than what you are saying.

It's awesome when a caller says "Hey guys, I have 2 or 3 quick points to make about the Bulls/Sox/Cubs/Bears, my first is <Insert thought here>, and I......." and then BernSTINE goes "WAIT A MINUTE, hold on, what do you mean <insert question here>, now wait, answer my question!" and then go on a tirade, cut the guy off, call him an idiot, a dope and then hang up.

Love those calls!

I don't doubt it, I have actually said how dumb it is that they didnt.

I really think Rod is missing the boat on this one.

I guess. But that's why it's safe for bernstein who ran away from here before Tall Midget even got a chance to really open up on him. CSFMB is a dangerous place for guys who are full of shit.

Truer words were never spoken.

Rodney, I think you used to have as your sig-They can't hang up on me here. That sums it up perfectly.

Actually thinking about it and reading some of his tweets. I think he reads a bunch of tweets @ him then responds with one all encompassing tweet

Like he gets 11 Tweets saying Bulls are better than the Heat'

So he tweets out "Stop celebrating. Regular season doesnt matter"
