Expect lots of CTE talk today, given the settlement
Other stuff
More stuff


Someone is in with Dan, I presume. I'll be off enjoying a fresh wind and bright skies, to enjoy my suffering.


Listen or don't. Take a shit or don't. Kiss a rose on the gray for all I care.

Bernstein and Drinky (i think that sounds like him) are laying down the truth. The beef the princess has is with "people on social media"?? That is as bad as having a beef with some random shit anyone says on the board and giving it life on the air.

Spiegel hating on vegetables. Shocking.

I misread your post and am going to start referring to him as the Beef Princess from now.

There could be something to that. He was either talking about being a vegetarian or hating greens a few minutes ago. I'm going to go with hating greens...... except spinach.

Bernstein thinks college football will eventually go away.

The NFL is actually in bigger danger of going away than college football would be.

Isn't that exactly where Danny finds his straw men for his arguments - on social media?

Ya but I think he gets his stuff from other reporters, analysts....etc. I think meat was getting pissed at the sea of comments from faceless fans. That would be like reading the comments at the bottom of a yahoo story or the youtube comments. I didn't hear the initial blowup but that is what I took from the calmer rant during transition.

Nice to hear Dan (and drinky) give a condescending pat on the head to the collective Chicago football fanbase. Is he the one to credit? Maybe it's the station, as a whole? Or maybe you guys are asshats!

Smug prick!

Despite the axiom that when someobody says "nobody is saying/asking" something that everyone is, in fact, asking it, I defy said axiom when I ask this:

Why is nobody asking the following: if winning a championship is the be all/end all of being an intelligent fan, what exactly does one gain from winning a championship? That is to say, what material difference is there between one's life the day before their team wins a champsionship compared to the day of, compared to the day after?

I mean, all the mantra is is "champsionship, champsionship, champsionship". For what end?

The Bulls won 6 champsionships in the 90s .... how does that impact any fan today? You have memories, sure .... Knicks and Cavs fans have memories, too .... so what?

The Bears won a champsionship in 80s ... so what?

There's nothing wrong with wanting or even demanding champsionships from your team, that's not my point.

My point is, since it's above the din of the mouth-breathing troglodytes to have higher expectations for your team than just getting into the playoffs (for example), what's the specific payoff? Your life doesn't change at all. Nor your job. Or your car. Or your friendships or marriage or other relationships.

Maybe I just don't own a good enough pair of big-boy pants.

Isn't the sea of faceless fans Danny's meatball voice though?

Really. I don't get out enough.

Somebody may want to tell Dan that Jesse and Al are, in fact, race hustlers who do indeed profit off of racism.

Somebody may also want to talk to a wall for an hour.

Ironic, isn't it Smithers?

This anonymous clan of slack-jawed troglodytes has cost me the election, and yet if I were to have them killed....I would be the one to go to jail.

That's democracy for you.
