BernSTINE giving a lecture about reporting and professionalism and proper decorum!!

What a pud.

for some reason ($$$ from the Wirtz family?) the chicago media has overtly attempted to make this fetish sport something akin to the Bears in the Superbowl.

AHHAHAHAh

Listening to BIG.BOY.HOCKEY.GUY BernSTINE talk about the Bruins goalies is funny.

"He hasn't been spectacular!"

"In his simplicity he has been spectacular"

"His positioning has been brilliant!"


Fuckin' BernSTINE.

Lil' Mike Wallace is on the news anchors for unprofessional broadcasting. Like his show is uber professional, and winning Edward R. Murrow awards. Please. You bring a demented guy on and make fun of him. Very professional. Also insinuating that if HE was a reporter, he'd get answers on Hossa's injury!!!

The horror of a news anchor wearing a red and black tie will not go unpunished by Dan Bernstein. It is unprofessional and he will NOT tolerate it. HE. IS. IN.DIG.NANT.

Be sure to stay tuned, though, as later in the show Dan will giggle about the man not in full possession of his faculties and the alcoholic they routinely mock for their own amusement.

The Hockey media does seem to be cheerleading

His deceased father's tie no less. Wow Rafer, you're so unprofessional! What an self-important assbag!

Don't they also get excited about and cheer for the Bears, Bulls, and White Sox when they're playing for a championship?

I just noticed you said "hockey media." I meant the anchors on newscasts.

Yeah, BernSTINE is definitely the arbiter of media professionalism, if you screw up HE WILL CALL YOU OUT because it infuriates him!

He will tell you this, he will give his sermon from the mount............in between gay jokes, pedo jokes, mocking an old dementia addled man to his face over the phone and getting into yet another discussion where he calls a female basketball player "a man," screaming at callers for no apparent reason, being a bigot towards Christianity and treating black athletes like live stock.

Fuckin' BernSTINE.

The random things lil' Danny gets worked up about are usually good for a laugh. It's a frickin' tie.

Yeah, was thinking about that.

If were talking general media, then HELL YEAH, they do that

And if the guy is an anchor, he's not reporting the sports news, he's reporting the city's news that their team is taking over the city or whatever.


I thought he was criticizing the actual hockey beat writers and the columnists

I don't know why you all are acting surprised that Bernstein is trolling hockey fans. If he has an opportunity to throw cold water on something by gawd he's going to do it.

His tone right off the bat leads me to believe it is going to be one of those shows where he screams and yells at everyone. Except for when he is making fun of old men with limited mental faculties.

I get the feeling Dan read something either yesterday or today about Rask and is now sharing his wealth of knowledge about all things goaltending with us. Has he ever expressed any interest or opinion about what constitutes the "textbook positioning" of goalies before?

I was just hoping to hear something besides hockey.....guess not. Back to streaming music.

Forget Mike in Milwaukee and Bob in Niles. The real irony of Bernstein's media ombudsman act is that his show is essentially an informal PR apparatus for the ownership and management of the Bears, Bulls, White Sox, and (since 2011) Cubs.

that's been the bit for 12+ years now hasn't it....? yet you have several people here who post daily about how much they hate bernstein... don't listen if it makes you angry...

BernSTINE'S greatest sports radio attribute (besides being a fuck) is not so much knowing anything in any real depth but rather his ability to make it seem like he knows what he's talking about.

He doesn't know shit about hockey and goal tending but he will do enough to make you believe that he does.

Great stuff by Timothy Burke! He's on the team for next year!

I like them! And they don't make me angry enough to tune out completely. That's their evil geniusness!:lol:

Definitely! He's a smart guy who is very good at sounding more knowledgeable that he is and intimidating/frustrating people by using (for lack of a better expression) "lawer-y" oratory tactics.

Great fucking point. He aspires to speak authoritatively without being authoritative, thereby cloaking his class prejudice in the idioms of "expertise."

If people who don't like Dan and get angry at him tuned out his rating would plummet. That's half his audience and the reason he does what he does.
