Bingo. Harry can actually do his job. Many people might not like the job he does but he can at least come to work and have a thought and complete a sentence and not have to lie about having "inside sources" and fall back on lame, non-news as "BREAKING NEWS."

I think Harry has the upper hand, here.

You're a deranged individual that needs serious medical help before it's too late. That's the last you'll see me in this thread.

Boers is far from the least valuable person on either station. Him as a reporter is a joke, agreed there. But when he actually tries his thoughts are as competent as anyone on either station. He knows sports, especially baseball, pretty well. He just likely playing the apathetic curmudgeon caricature. I'll still take him over many hosts on either station. He makes me laugh more than Harry did and he has better sports thoughts than Harry did. It's not close.

Harry is better than Boers, but that is like saying that the Cubs were better than the Astros this year. They're both pretty fucking terrible.

So he has sports thoughts but prefers to play a stuttering, incompetent buffoon? Sorry, he's 10 times worse than Harry.

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

I don't think he comes off as an incompetent buffoon. He's just apathetic a lot of time. I admit that's a bad quality, but it's also an exaggerated quality with him. He's engaged and competent far more often than his detractors give him credit for. As I said, he's funnier and a better analyst than Harry is. That's really 90% of the job. And I'll take his stuttering over Harry's voice any day.

How engaged can he be when he is doing his show from home?

Just as much basically. But how often does he do that? Like I said, I think people exaggerate his apathy.

So, Boers has a "radio persona" and that persona for the last 10 years has been one of apathy, ignorance, mailing it in, rambling, the total lack of speaking skills and an inability to add anything to a show?

That Terry is quite the entertainment savant!

I didn't say that and don't agree with it. He's far from ignorant. Whenever he actually confronts Bernsie in an argument he wins almost every time.

What does that say about the rest of the crew?

Really? I disagree. He usually just takes a side and defends it by stammering and talking in circles whether he has a leg to stand on or not.

Oh well.

I only hear him stammering when going along with Bernsie because he doesn't really give a shit and that's palpable. When a topic sparks his fancy he's capable of making cogent, interesting points. I consider him more insightful than Bernsie. I just wish he'd try more instead of mailing it in as often as he does, which I'd say is about 50% of the time, depending on time of year.

I hesitate to do this, but I agree with FF. Those that decry Terry will wonder what happened to the show when he retires. Show doesn't work without him.

Another 'one-off' would be nice or possibly a few HFC shows a year. A good change of pace and the last time they got together they put on a good show.

I despise you a little less after this post.

Terry was still wrong.

The "scoop" by Boers has been refuted by all parties in such a manner as to reasonably conclude it was hogwash. Lovie and his Son (his agent) have made clear that he has never negotiated during a season and is not doing so now. The Bears also have made it clear that the story is eroneous. Boers got bad info and McClure called him on it. As simple as that....unless Boers just made it up, thinking it reasonable they might be in discussions. That would be a much bigger story.

You're right on this one, Steve.

Add in the fact that everyone, including BernSTINE and Boers to an extent, was backing away from the story and trying to minimize/bury Terry's proclamation.

Sad.

Maybe Jay Cutler called Boers' answering machine to give him the story.

Boers lost all credibility forever with the story his friend left a message on his answering machine telling him the Cutler deal was done.

Right and I'm the Queen of England. Come on like his friend wouldn't try and reach him at the station with something like that.

I have no idea if Lovie has his kid trying to get an extension or not(smart move to get one now @4-1 )..and neither does anyone else..it can't be proved or disproved ...It was bush league to keep promoting the "breaking news" at every break..the score should be embarrassed for that....But Vaughn came off worse with his over the top Lovie cock gobbling.


Tiny is hands down the absolute worst radio personality in the Midwest and possibly the country.
