You guys are missing the flip side of it. Dan is nothing special if he's just becoming another mindless ESPN drone. ESPN could pick from 100s of other people who would do it better and cheaper. .


and pick from 100 more sitting in a classroom at Syracuse whose goal in life is to be indistinguishable from any other broadcaster

Right, GD. That's why they'll never hire Bernstein. Why would they? Look who they have now as the "Broadcast driver" in both shows. Silvy and Carmen. What are they? Good boys. Safe. Go along to get along. Will take orders. Happy to have their jobs. Not rebles.

I read somewhere that ESPN takes in over 8 billion in revenue. Why? Cuz their brand works for the non thinking sports fan. Non thinking sports fan rule this world. You really think they'll want a Bernstein in their Chicago radio market. For what? Even if he does well with his "Fuck You" radio, what does that mean to their bottom line over CJH? 100k? Maybe 200k gross revenue per year? That's tops. It's not guarenteed since he won't be the Score type Bernstein. That's a drop in the bucket to them. They'd take the "ESPN type" over that small gain. ESPN is about branding.

If they decide to can Carm or Silvy, they'd replace him with Jeff Dickerson. He's been a loyal soldier to ESPN for years. He's a safe, "milk and cookies" type of broadcaster that they'd want. JD, Carm, Silvy: Those type of guys are what ESPN wants for their local markets.
