I don't think those two are as close as you think they are. Terry is an asshole.
yeah but he's our asshole. i don't begrudge terry anything for taking crazy $$$ for crazy-little work. "hard work is for people short on talent" - george carlin>> terry must be one of the most naturally talented out there because he got "the hookup" on a nice career-twilight.
terry, for his many faults which he technically has made a radio career out of copping to over the last ~20yrs, is the one 100% likeable guy @ the station IMO. i never feel like he's telling me what to do or how to think or that he really gives a shit about me. he's just there to crack some jokes and give the occasional insight, but he stopped being a sports nerd a long time ago and now just kind of oversees the games.
it's kind of like when i went and tried out @ score search and i spent those ~5mins trying to entertain the concept of doing a weekly sports talk radio show; i realize i'd have to at least for-sure watch all of the games of the big-4 local teams, likely take notes on it and work on developing ideas of how to take wanton observations to the air. there's an effort needed to doing good talk radio, and fortunately for terry he's got dan there to do all of that, or at least dan is WAAAAYYYYYY better at doing the cliff's notes version of watching games. either way i think terry's passion to watch sports went out the window a long time ago, however he's not one to fuck up this gravy train because.... uh hello mcfly? * knocks on your head * he's the longest tenured on-air talent @ the station (he never left unlike a certain other prodigal son) so go figure he makes the most probably because of company loyalty.
and there's the word that sums it all up: loyalty. i think terry's always been the same guy on radio and he hasn't changed into some sort of a modern-age SJW like our hero and protagonist mr. beerstain, and hey, while cogent thoughts might be a bit much to ask for in the year of our lord 2014, at least terry keeps it real. and we'd all do the same damn thing he's doing and cash those checks like it's the first of the month! cha-ching.
