So tired of Bernies saying they fired that guy that was responsible for those bad drafts Asshat they hired a guy that was a scout for 3 of the Angelo's bad drafts.I just want to bitch slap Dan

I'm out.

Is it irrational to be thinking more and more that it's not unlikely that, in 3-4 years or so, the Bears will be playing a 3-4 set on defense? If so, why exactly?

The white dude from Boise they drafted seems to fit a 3-4 scheme. They will certainly never do it with Lovie still here. And I think he finds away to crash this Bears ship into the playoffs by beating the awful Cards and the less awful but still bad Lions. Then they might actually sneak out a win in the Wild Card round before getting completely ass waxed by the Giants, Packers or 49ers. Then next year we get to lather rinse repeat this whole cycle.

_________________

Not sure which is more ridiculous: people referring to the Bears as "we" or Dan getting so incredibly irritated with it.

But I assume Lovie is gone .... just appearing in the playoffs twice in six years doesn't mean shit to me, and I doubt as much to Emery, who I think it's reasonable to think wants Lovie gone yesterday so that he can get around to making this his team (not saying it's better or worse, just saying what I think he's thinking).

I don't know everyone's ages and injuries and whatnot, and I'm not about to research it because I'm not getting paid to do so. What I get the impression of, however ignorant it admittedly may be, is that it'll be much easier in a couple-three years to let the old go and fill in as we go along but in a 3-4 model to maximize current assets and minimize personnel losses (Urlacher, Peppers, Tillman, even Briggs) possible/probable in the next 4 years.

Plus, for every purple jesus, there's a dozen ham-and-eggers running the ball that aren't anything special ... on top of which it's obvious to all that passing is the direction the league is heading. I think the 3-4 is a far more eloquent and appropriate scheme to consider fielding because of that - and I'm a 4-3 stalwart meatball.

So, I think it makes sense to just plug and play who you can on defense, and promise Jay (and then quickly prove) that you're going to seriously concentrate picks, signings, money, and Virginia's remaining prayers to making the offense effective, not to mention "safer" for him.

Then again, maybe not ... what the hell do I know.

uofiguy - two things:

1) I only now, just as I typed your name, realize it wasn't ufoguy
2) It's clearly far more ridiculous for Dan to shit his pants over a fairly common convention of the language

At first it was annoying. Now it's become hilarious. What a stupid thing to be mad about.

Logically I think you are pretty much spot on. But when have the Bears ever done anything logically. Bring back the 46 Zone! Hampton!!! Knees!!!!

Ha. UFOguy could be Mac's alter ego on here. And I think it's funny that Dan only scolds a certain Score caller demographic when they drop the "we". When that old cat from Racine calls, it's cool. Because Dan is down with bbq and Rakim.

I listened to the last twenty minutes of the show on the way home. There is not one thing a caller could of said in that time frame that would not have led to them being belittled.

_________________

Yes. This was my problem with the show today and yesterday. Then it goes back to the fundamental question of, "Why take calls then?" They should just go guest-intensive and leave it at that.

I also have to put part of the onus on the callers as well. Not for the content of the calls, but for willingly calling in to get abused. Why call? Your point won't be important to them.

That shouldn't disqualify him from the job. Now if you had brought up his crappy record with the Chiefs, you'd have a better case.



I'm with you on this endeavor.

_________________

You know you bring up a good point here. I would imagine a guy calling into their show would be a semi-regular listener. So, they must be familiar with the format of the show and how Dan speaks to callers on Bears post-mortem shows. The callers never win, are often belittled and hung up on, and Dan talks/screams over them for most of the call. Is that an enjoyable experience for some people? Is it the abuse that they crave? The brief moment of being on a radio station? Or is Edward A. Meatball sitting in traffic on the Kennedy thinking to himself: "I'm going to call in and show that whiny little bitch Bernstein what's what." They think they're going to be that one guy who finally one ups Dan and leaves him flabbergasted.

Picked a great day to listen for the first time in a month or so...

Leaving a horrible caller on there just so you can refute the people who say "we never let people talk" is bad...

I'm beginning to think that the phone lines aren't full, that can be verified. I'm also beginning to derive minor amusement at how Dan can be worked into a predictable type of intellectual meatball.

I may have to see how easy it is to call in and how far I can go with stringing Dan along, I think 12 minutes will be a mark of note.

"Intellectual meatball" I like it.

When exactly did the Boers and Bernstein show turn into five hours straight of chastising callers? It has gotten completely out of hand, they're even promoting the bad callers on their website now. Everything in moderation is better, B & B is an example of this. It has completely taken away the lighthearted spirit of the show.

I think Bernstein, who drives the show, is sick of talking about topics that are beneath him on a given day. He'd much rather talk about Penn St or concussions. Rather than have a conversation, he'd rather pick fights, and I think, as you mentioned, completely out of control.

Bernstein has driven that show, I think from the getgo. I think when callers like a guy from Phoenix (?) wanted the Bears to bench Jay Cutler in favor of Jason Campbell vs. the Packers in the final half hour yesterday, it turned into quite a bizarre argument between the caller & Bernstein.
