You might be right, even though the Tribune Company has had financial issues of their own. You can thank Sam Zell for that.

The Daily Herald isn't going anywhere. They have added a ton of costs to their Sports section this year with Kasper, Spiegs, North, and Ranger writing columns. They will be one of the last guys standing as a private business with a cult local following.

BR is right about Rozner. It would get old fast. The last time I heard him on, he just kept repeating the same tired stuff during the entire show. His act gets old real quick, and you'd soon learn he is a one trick pony on any given issue. If he had to talk about the Bears for an entire week, it would become obvious he has very shallow thoughts. He would make some joke about Lovie staring up at the sky, and if the Bears won, they got lucky. He would take away anything good the Bears did as the other team being bad.

That's why Laurence Holmes, like him or loathe him, is more likely to be named as successor to Uncle Terry than Barry Rozner is. Laurence is more likely to imitate Boers and make odd noises than Rozner ever will.

Had some financial issues? Stick to sports. They have been stuck in bankruptcy for several years. They own several crappy newspapers.

The DH has a very limited distribution and is protected from a lot of competition as THE suburban newspaper. They are a private company which a much lower overhead.

*SIGH* I, I, I, I, look, as much as I, uh, as I talk about retiring to write my book, uh, um, eh, it's pretty presumptuous of you pantsless cretins to pick out my replacement years before I plan to go, pretty, pretty presumptuous, *SIGH*, look, again, in point of fact, I, I, I plan on being around here to guide my little mulatto friend LaaaawnHomes and my Belizean buddy, Jason for a long time, a loooooong time, so unless, uh, eh, eh, unless you guys know something that I don't, for the love of God, just stop this nonsense right now, uh, uh, and, look, again, if I were to quit, my replacement sure as hell ain't gonna be Barry Damn Rozner, eh, uh, eh, eh, I mean, Rozner and danny bernstein full-time?, uh, uh, too pseudo-intellectual-y, too North Shorey, uh, eh, look kids, let's call it what it is, too damn Jewish, so why don't you walking rectums go back to your silly little argument about whether some Cub minor leaguer is better than the AL MVP and leave the tough decisions to Rod and Mitch, for the love of God!!!!!

Guys, I thought you had to pay a fee to access some of the articles on not only the Daily Herald's Web site, but also their sister paper the Sun-Times, too.

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

He is, by far, the best fill in to work with Bernstein. He has absolutely no problem challenging Dan on even minor things. Dan needs that every now and then and as much as I love Boers, he doesn't do it often enough.

Funny as hell. Can tell a good story. Seems to get along with everyone on the show. And even though I may be the biggest Goff and Drinky fan in the world, they aren't on Barry's level when it comes to working with Dan.

This needs to happen....whenever Boers decides to hang it up.

I'm a big dumb shitlib baby

The best thing about Barry is that he has a lot of inside contacts at the Cubs and Blackhawks in addition to some key athlete relationships.

I didn't hear it today, but I have noticed drinky getting pissy with Rosie and Rozner when they host with Bernstein. He likes to chest up to them. It's him showing displeasure for interlopers invading the station. He feels it's his territory, that he should be getting the air time and he wants to let them know. It's a little funny and a lot sad. His crying and bitching gets ignored by everybody at the station.

See, this is when your theories venture into the land of dumb.

I have no problem with Rozner, but I'm a Rosenbloom guy.

Laurence Holmes is a fucking weirdo, a nerd in denial, and a wannabe. Not a very good radio host either.

Rozner has thoughts. But they revolve around a few hot button things. They get old fast, and he becomes preachy. The best thing about Barry is that he has a lot of inside contacts at the Cubs and Blackhawks in addition to some key athlete relationships.

I see why the board tends to like him as a fill-in. I have probably been overexposed and have "grown apart" from him and his opinions.

Rosie would be a good partner for him too. Either one. Rosie is less of a dick with Bernstein than he is on his weekend show with Grote. Rosie respects Bernstein. Rosie thinks Grote is a dumb ass so he carries that show and makes Grote his bitch. Plus he does that stupid "Pot head" shtick on that show. He wouldn't do that if he were Bernstein's partner.

Rosenbloom is the smoker..not grote...you can tell grote would prefer to lose the wake n bake thing...And Bernstein is a smoker too.
