Today on a very special "Boers & Bernstein Show"... How cheesy is that? As soon as Mac & Spiegs wrap up the daily transition with Terry & Dan B., executive producer Matt Abbatacola & the show's new associate producer Chris Tannehill have quite a task ahead of them.

This afternoon, the guys put together the annual "Quote of the Year Show", complete with plenty of audio gems from the calendar year going in and out of commercial breaks. Chances are better than even money we'll hear a gem or two from veteran FOX Sports' PBP voice Dick Stockton, the late Penn State football coach Joe Paterno, the bizarre Franco Harris, and a whole lot more. Even if listeners can't stand Terry & Dan B., today's show should be a real doozy.

There's also the regular business at hand, such as the Bears practicing minus LB Brian Urlacher as they start preparing for a rematch at what's now called Mall of America Field vs. the Vikings in Minneapolis. There's also an awful Bulls' loss to the just as awful Pacers at United Center and the White Sox likely saying bye-bye to Kevin Youkilis with the reported signing of 3B/2B Jeff Keppinger at the MLB Winter Meetings in Nashville. It's all coming up.

I will tune in for the first time in 2 months!

This show was a disaster last year. Let's hope that no Penn State news comes out in the next 5 hours.

It'd be cool if they could talk to Joe Paterno today. Haven't heard many interviews from him lately.

Unfortunately, I think the Penn State football scandal will be intertwined in this show, but I think only from a "QOTY" standpoint.

The quote of the year show either last year or the year before was right after Santo died and that was a train wreck as well. Gonna skip this.

How can they waste time with all that bullshit when the Jeff Keppinger era has begun?

I am going to tune in for a while, I could use some laughs. Gun control talk makes for bad radio.

Bernsy says he doesn't know who the nominees are...I guess we start finding out right after another John Feinstein "CBS Sports Minute" and these messages.

What messages? I don't see any messages here.

They're in a commercial break now, but we'll find out what just missed the cut for "Quote of the Year"...after the break. Take that, Seacrest!

How about Matt's dig at Jason during tranny, "nothing against Goff, but the production value of the show has risen with Tanny"?

Okay, folks...It's time to find out what made the cut. Here's the golden tones of SCORE Production Director Russ Mitera...

Yeah I heard that too. Can't wait until Beardown creates his own thread about it.

The nominees have been revealed for the "B & B Quote of the Year Show". You can cast your vote here:

http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2012/12/05/ ... -the-year/

That's actually a pretty weak list. I would have had that golf coach that threatened his team with playing more golf. At least the Connor McDoink.

Connor's my choice, too. Actually, they should've used the one where McKnight said "Jay Podium" from when he did a "Scoreboard Update" on the Mac & Spiegs show...

Coming up next..."The Score Update Anchor of the Year"...
