Always amuses me that this is considered the smart fan's show. Mac has never said anything as stupid as like the 20 dumbest things that Bernsie has said.

That may be true, but you have to account for the sample size disparity between Bernstein's sports thoughts and those of Mac, at least when he's present.

I wasn't limiting it to the field on sports.

per Berns, Sox don't care if Sale blows out elbow. He is still cheap even if you assume that. at 24 he can recover and still be good. plus sox have insurance.

Wayne Randazzo is the NEW WCUB expert. Sounds intelligent. We need a WSOX talking head guy to come on and talk a little. Surprised they don't have Rongey say a few words from 6 A - 6 P.

That's ok. A lot of stupidd talkers talk on every show. Doesn't seem to be the biggest reason to have someone on. They don't seem to have a goto guy for the Sox. Beltin Bill Melton maybe? Kasper for WCUB is the real goto guy I guess. Am I missing someone?

"WSOX" does not have a Sox expert for some reason. Perhaps WSCR is thumbing its nose at JR.


Now we have the new NIU athletic director. B&B whoring themselves for the CBS nipple again.

You never know, after last year's Rose bowl appearance Clemenza may want to hold the reins again. Sometimes, the only way to make your bones is to get out from under the boss.

These guys talk about their beat reporting days like they were the sports version of Woodward and fucking Bernst...oh my God. Is there a relation? Dan Bernstein breaking stories of various Wanny rants>Carl Bernstein helping to expose Watergate shenanigans.

Good Lord, they're talking about Derrick Rose's doctors again?

Let it go, man.

If you are a beat writer, wouldn't you aspire to be good at it? What's the point of being a shill for the team? How much fun is that?

Of course you would. I'm not old enough to remember Boers' Bulls beat writer days, so perhaps he was breaking stories left and right. But Dan talks about his history as if he followed teams for decades. Perhaps Im forgetting, but was he ever a beat "writer" or did he simply file reports on the Bulls and Bears? What stories did he break?

Well, I think there are a couple different schools of thought. I don't think a guy like K.C. Johnson is a born ass-kisser. I think he truly believes that a certain amount of "shilling for the team" (though he probably wouldn't call it that) allows him to get stuff that others can't.

Dan just used an exact line straight out of All the President's Men when describing how to work a beat covering Jud Buechler.

Ha. Buechler does have a little John Dean in him.

Well, who is Deep Throat that whispered to Missy Isaacson that Rose was cleared to play?

Bernsie was nothing more than any of these current guys. He just dressed it up with his vocabulary brilliance and shouted "the score" at the end. He didn't break anything anyone else didn't learn about Bulls or Bears.

I dunno what goes through KC Johnson's mind, but whatever it is, he sucks.

Sam Smith may have been an ass at times, but at least he broke some hot news once in a while.


Bernstine asked tough questions, he would irritate people for sure. He was no Zach Zaidman for sure.

Funny you mention Zaidman and KC Johnson in the same post, because I refer to KC Johnson as "ZZ Johnson" based on his houseman approach to covering the Bulls. I tweeted that to Bernsy. Of course he wasn't going to respond but someone I don't know must've read it because they RT'ed it.
