What you have to understand is that bernstein has patented a brand of attack radio wherein one of the primary objectives of the show is to paint the caller as a complete moron. It really has very little to do with bernstein's actual positions on anything, if he even has a position. This style has spread and become pervasive throughout the Score with a few significant exceptions.

It's why I find it difficult to take Rongey's defenses of Thornton seriously. I've made some mild defenses of Thornton myself in this forum, simply stating that every team has guys like him and they all have to get by. But I'm not sure if Rongey is sincere or if he's indulging in the kind of baiting he learned from bernstein & company. It seems rather aggressive and silly to attack a Sox fan for disliking Thornton a half hour after he blew a game in the most painful way possible.

danny is always going to take the position he views as negative. He thinks people like Tebow and Armstrong, he's going to attack them. He thinks people hate LeBron and Carmelo, he's going to elevate them. Dewayne Wise on the White Sox is a marginal player and "bad at baseball". I'd bet anything I have that if his name had come up a month ago when he was a Yankee, the bernstein take would have been something like, "The Yankees always seem to find these guys kicking around and beat you with them."

Dave, are you arguing that John Lucas is a good basketball player? Tell me you're not doing that.

Trust me, I was cheering for JL3 like everybody else, but at no point during his hot streak did I think Lucas was anything more than a marginal NBA player playing WAY over his head and catching some defenses off guard. That proved to be the case.

I'm arguing that it's senseless to refer to Norris Cole as a "stud" if you're also going to refer to JL3 (or Jeremy Lin, or any of a dozen other middling-to-decent players) as "bad at basketball," and that Dan's doing so reinforces JORR's argument that Dan changes his opinions to suit The Narrative, even when said Narrative isn't supported by objective fact.

Well it's hard for Bernsy to be corrected when all dissenting texters/tweeters are blocked and e-mails not sent by Jalen from Rosemont or Amir go unread.

The future holds the possibility to be great or terrible, and since it has not yet occurred it remains simultaneously both.

Actually, his website columns bring out the worst in humanity on a regular basis.

I'm sure you've noticed that on more than a few occasions an ass-licker has called in to get on dan's jock and dan somehow finds away to disagree with him. In fact, it happens all the time. I actually feel sorry for those fools.:

I thought "the Chickenfuckers" were a Harrisburg thrash band. Turns out it was just an Amish family.

There is not a damned thing wrong with people who are bull shitters.

Peeps, I don't give a shit if you're tired or worn out. This Friday we're playing junior hockey coach.


I'll bring my whistle, clipboard, and ball-gag.
