Yes. You're bad, and you should feel bad.

I wonder why Dan and Terry won't go after Ethan Spolnik for saying last night "the Bulls do not get enough credit for being the cheapest organization in the league..."

I'm being assured that this is just part of a process.

I'm still waiting for the assured Joe Girardi process to go somewhere.

It's not really fellating when they don't say anything demonstrably untrue.

They seem happy to carry his water, but just stating simple truths doesn't qualify for that.

I thought Spiegs let it drop a few months ago that their new system doesn't allow them to block texts and then said "maybe I wasn't supposed to say that."

You do have a valid point. I actually like Reinsdorf, and the Randy Brown and Jay Williams stories are two of the reasons I do. I respect loyalty. It just sounds disingenuous when Bernstein does it.

How is JR paying a bunch of players from late 90s Bulls before he traded them support the argument he is not cheap?

How many major market primetime sports radio programs could do a "We Drafted A White Guy" Show with nobody thinking it's odd in any way?

Oh, he had a back and forth with him on Twitter about it - and now Ethan knows the truth. Bernstein is correcting the world's wrongs one sportswriter at a time.

Ok Harry. I don't need my sports talk insightful 24/7. Two goofs talking like their at the bar is fine for myself. Thanks for looking out for me.


No problem. But, believe me, I'm well aware of not needing smart sports banter during my sports consumption time.......that said, Cousin Sal is brutal. It's interesting that one of the few people worse than Simmons is invited on to his podcast quite often.........hang on, maybe Bill is smarter than I give him credit for......lesser of two evils etc.

Atta boy CoF.

And Dan directly answered the inquiry and had clearly addressed it.

I've said it before, I'll say it again ... there's such a litany of sins to damn Daniel for, it baffles me why people work so hard to manufacture artificial, easily dismissible reasons.

Attaboy? Wasn't it already stated, here, that Dan had not only replied to him on Twitter - but mentioned, on-air, that he had replied to him about it? Strange question to call up and ask about, seeing as Dan had already "addressed" it.

Great call, though, I needed to hear Dan talk about how it's not only wrong, but DANGEROUSLY WRONG, to say that Reinsdorf is cheap!!

I didn't see it, but I see no reason to not take your word for it.

Can I at least amend it to just "hooray for CoF"?

I was going to mention that. If Boston did this show it would be a national incident.

Bernstein doesn't get why Steve McQueen was a thing. Fucking dumb pussy. McQueen would have raced a Porsche, fucked beerstein's wife, and told his kid to die in a fire. He was that cool. :D

Remember when you were a kid, and your parents would get in a really nasty argument, and you'd get that awful, powerless, agonized feeling, because you loved them both so much and couldn't stand to see either of them hurt, least of all at the hands of each other?

My feelings about a Simmons-Bernstein feud are the exact opposite of that feeling.

This battle of prematurely greying fortysomethings who fetishize black people was inevitable. Jerry Reinsdorf was just the Franz Ferdinand.

Is it a feud if Simmons doesn't know/care/respond?

I assume dangerous as in anti-Semitic?

I did hear Terry jump in to say that JR can't be cheap because after all, he paid MJ $32 million his last two years! :lol: :lol:

And if I'm not mistaken, I heard Danny Boy prep the masses for when JR declines to amnesty Boozer, saying something like "there would still be value in an expiring contract next year..." :lol: :lol: :lol:
