Id think you could jack up the Yankee games and Rays games. Sawx fans are fanatical idiots

They are. They just aren't a very good investment. The teams have started pricing things to take out a lot of that profit.

You may make money if they play in the World Series, and certainly the Cubs World Series would be worth huge money, but that assumes you are going to sell them instead.

A goof I know sold his seats at Wrigley for Game 7 in 2003 because he knew they were going to lose. Then he went across the street to Bernie's and started thinking how he had to be there in case they did happen to win. So he paid more than he sold his for to buy a new one.

unless the Cubs make the World Series, I'd rather not go to a playoff game. You're not subsidizing your playoff tickets. Sometimes the playoff tickets allow you to go on a beautiful Saturday.

Who wants to sit through October baseball outside? Unless, like I said, World Series.

Not entirely sure I'd be telling people I was of the mind to make notes of Larry's mispronunciations for later use; maybe I'd tell Psycory but only because his meter would be running by that point.

Do any of you guys remember Ted Cox? He was a columnist/media critic/man with hair for the Daily Hearald. Anyway, 10+ years ago he wrote a piece about the local sports stations and he called Laurence a simpleton. Stories like that are a reminder that he could not have been more correct.

hate and obsession often look like love from afar.

Why is Larry so surprised Jordan Palmer will tell the Bills everything? IT IS WHY THEY SIGNED HIM!!

Luckily for you he didn't have a grill, otherwise the story would've been how he made the recipe, then Dan saying 'It's not even that, you need to....', then Lawrence 'you're right, Dan'

I was actually on a bike ride when I heard it. Not wanting to log into CSFMB, I made a quick note for later. Truth, I do enjoy his solo show. I've said that before.

Larry the love stud gave us another inside peek very early in the show. I'm surprised no one else picked up on this yet. They briefly touched on the Michael Sam shower story and Bernstein mentioned Josina Anderson who was behind the reporting.

Larry: Errrr, i think i might have to recuse myself Dan from this

Bernstein: Why

Larry: I went out on a date with her...it didn't go well. We only went out once.



I wonder how soon in the "date" did Josina realize she was out on a date with Larry. She probably was conned by Larry using the, 'let's exchange Bears notes' excuse.

Leery going into "She Could Get It" mode.

I'll bet emailer Joe was really nervous about whether Dan would agree with him regarding journalists being more serious about their serious jobs.

He can relax. Dan agreed with Joe's thought.

I loved it when Leary informed us that he texted 5 players to ask whether it was commonplace for teams picking the brain of a new player about his former team. He really thinks that he is a big shooter since he is supposedly chummy with all of these NFLers. He is so full of shit its not even funny. What a tool he is. How in the hell is he still on the air in the 3rd largest market in the country?? Hold on while I PTFB.

It's Veteran Beat Reporter Season. I always forget that part of Bears season.

Now, it's the "Talk about...." segment.

We're all better educated on how to be an effective beat reporter. It sounds like difficult work.

I guess I'm the only one who doesn't see what's so hideous about the shower question.

NFL players have often raised the issue of showering with gay players when questioned about having an openly-gay teammate. Regardless of whether there were or were not issues with Sam in the shower, it's news, isn't it? Is it really not news whether Sam's teammates treat him differently due to his sexual orientation?

And Long's tweet is just bullshit. A number of NFL players are on record saying they do care. It'd be nice if no one cared, but that's manifestly not the case. It's not heroic or insightful to say it is, it's just deceitful.

There's your 5. He mentioned he texted them. Preeetty impressive to me.

To be somewhat fair, it's not clear if the reporter asked that question or it was just offered. She should have left it alone, though. Even though she was told that I don't think it's news.

That fired up Devin Hester caller is exactly why the Score sucks now.

"That was going nowhere" - nope, that was the first interesting call I've heard today. We want to hear guys with their hair on fire about what the Bears did to Hester. But, instead of letting that guy have his say, we need to stop it. That's not an intelligent viewpoint.

A guy can have an opinion about keeping Hester. We don't have to agree with it but we could at least hear it.

They should just call it The Groupthink Afternoon Show.

I disagree. This has been an argument for years. Some said it would be a problem, others said it wouldn't.

So, now that we have an openly-gay player: is it a problem?

Edit: let me add, Berstein just said that he has no idea what the point of that line of questioning could be. I can't believe that. That's flat-out dishonesty. Everyone knows that this has been cited as a reason for not having gay players on the team for years. Dan certainly knows that. So obviously, there's a point in asking whether this is a legitimate issue or not.
