I had a kick-ass Aspberger the other day for lunch with some sweet potato fries on the side. Tremendous.

Did Finfer apologize to Feder for Finfer telling the reporter report news cuz it hurt his feelings? Just read that Bernstein wang whipped him for doing so. Finfer called Feder a "hack". Bernstein called him "a credible reporter". That was also a shot at Finfer.

You know, Doc, Finfer does not represent a University of Illinois education very well. He's really is a dim bulb. Is he the exception? Are most grads smart like you?

I don't think it's fair to compare him to me.

I think Quigs is a UofI guy also.

Here it is. Somebody put Finfer's bitching and crying from yesterday on youtube. A lot of the youtube comments are ripping Finfer and Quigs.

This starts after he found out. So you don't see him reading it online and that reaction. 7:47 Finfer says of his bosses, "Are they human?"

i think you forgot to credit peoria matt here because we can't forget that the REAL VICTIM here is, of course, Beardown. the poor guy has been slayed on the CSFMB for his usual thing where it's like "oh hey there's multiple topics on a hot story going on right now.... i know let's make the official beardown thread so the beardown peeps who need to hear the definitive final word on the issue joe-buck-holding-court style don't have to deal with all the riffraff in the other threads and can go straight to a thread made by beardown so they can get what they're looking for.... no needs!

and then when other people are like "hey beardown dude there's multiple threads on this why can't you join the discussion with everyone else?" you can spend a whole day mockingly going out of your way to credit peoria matt for having the scoop / tip-for-finferlandia. hell you can even make your own new thread giving peoria matt his due because you're ironic like that.

i know you dont respond to me very much, if at all (seriously it's MAYBE 2 times over the years, definitely under 3) as i'm prolly perceived to be a "hater" or something, but hey im #TeamBeardown as i literally shined the beardown signal in another thread before you showed up with your much needed 2 cents.... but the whole grandstanding thing where you're above replying in other people's threads so you have to make one of your own for "the proper beardown thread on teh issue" is just kind of insulting to all of us who have been discussing whatever topic for hours/days on end b4 you show up and go "holy shit if i post in a hot topic thread my post might get buried on pages 3-10 and nobody will notice if the convo goes on for a few pages more, so id better make my own thread so that way everyone knows i'm in there for sure"

AHEM. so yeah as i was saying b4 i tangented myself out of my own paragraph (and thus i should make a proper new thread about this point so people don't get lost in my blather to see my beardown-related-point) i have respect for you and your hustle, and i wanna make sure that we all take a minute to give our support to you THE REAL VICTIM of this story.... because holy shit all you tried to do was grandstand in your own special thread aka the ~4th on the given subject at hand and now you're under attack from your legions of haters to the point where we gotta sit decastro down and say "why did you fire everyone when beardown wasn't on the board posting? now becuase of the resulting shitstorm his good name is besmirched and he has to faux-apologize to peoria matt til the end of time" and yeah. let's all take a second to tip our caps to the man, the myth, the legend that is beardown.... aka THE REAL VICTIM OF THIS HOOPLA @ THE GAME 87.7 WGAF RADIO CHICAGO ILLINOIS 60666.

_________________

redaction: i have to confess that my favorite thing isn't just the beardown thread aka thread #3+ on a given topic.... it's when you show up in the pre-existing rapidly-expanding 5-15 page thread and give your two cents.... but then you wait 5 minutes and see that you're going to be on a page preceding the current one very soon and people might not notice that you showed up in the thread, so then you go and make a new thread (aka #3+) on that subject to reiterate what you originally posted in the hot/active/rolling thread with a little more pizzazz cuz people come to the CSFMB to find their beardown threads and not have to deal with teh rest of the idiots blathering their worthless opinions.

they need the beardown thread to tell it like it is and/or should/will be, especially with the "conversations" part at the end of the post, which should be (C)/TM Beardown posting union inc. because it's oft-imitated but never duplicated.... and it's why the industry comes to CSFMB: to see what beardown says next.

Finfer to DeCastro: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPcyTyilmYY

thx dude. i'm likely gonna hit myself for the whole "crack a beer and let it rip" thing with beardown re: his faux-apology-to-you campaign, but it sticks in my craw that dude thinks he's above the rest of us and is too insecure about his much-needed-perspective (and i do think we both want and need it here, to be honest. it's not the CSFMB without beardown, hence my literally shining the beardown signal for him) and starting up his own thread to hijack the discussion like "ok everyone you had y'all fun talking about the issue of the day, but now i'm here so let's start over with a thread where everyone knows exactly where to find my thoughts on it so they dont get lost in a sea of your crap trying to find my post/s"

mac is guilty of kind of doing the same thing, granted his threads are all referendums about him and he IS a celebrity here, whereas beardown is more of a prodigal son.

and oh wow, that's about as close as i get to a beardown reply to my post/s to/about him! i shall cherish the day where i realize "omfg he read my stuff and went out of his way to let me know he read it without actually saying anything since i am beneath him like that" =D =D =D

You would think these guys would treat this as an opportunity to use this as an audition for another job instead of treating it like amateur hour. Apparently not enough people wanted to listen to Finer from 12 to 3 everyday, so l guess he thought it'd be a good idea to lend that star power to another show.

Along with Deadspin, Awfulannouncing picked up the story (Apropos, don't you think?)

http://awfulannouncing.com/2014/chicago-sports-radio-hosts-learn-theyre-fired-air.html

In the article, they posted a tweet by their update girl who also decided to rip Robert Feder.

Huge thanks to @RobertFeder for breaking that news while we're on the air. Rather be first than worry about people's feelings.

She's an update anchor. Pretty much a reporter. She doesn't get her own business either. Just like Finfer. It just amazes me.

It reminds me of that exchange between Demi Moore and Tom Cruise in A Few Good Men. When Kaffe and Galloway land in Cuba and hop on a jeep to interview Jessup.

Private driving them: We'll just hop on the ferry and be over there in no time.

Kaffee: Whoa! Hold it! We gotta take a boat?!

Private: Yes, sir, to get to the other side of the bay.

Kaffee: Nobody said anything about a boat.

Private: Is there a problem, sir?

Kaffee: No. No Problem. I'm just not that crazy about boats, that's all.

Galloway: Jesus Christ, Kaffee, you're in the Navy for cryin' out loud!

Robert Feder is supposed to sit on stories so nobody's feelings get hurt? He's not K.C. Johnson.

I mean, you naturally feel bad for them. Then they talk and tweet. That's when they become unsympathetic figures. While I never listened, you now know why the station failed. The GAME's staff are dumb asses. Clueless. Idiot savants.

I'm gonna turn the tables on them. Why doesn't Ben and the update girl apologize to DeCastro and the Tribune Company for sucking, being dumb, losing them a lot of money and causing them to shut down?

They were the lowest rated station in Chicago according everything I read. When this frequency was Jazz, it did better.

Imagine of she was waiting tables at Gibson's.

She'd have married herself a hockey player by now.

It was smooth jazz. There's a distinction. That genre shouldn't even have the word "jazz" in it.

That being said, the actual jazz station in the market, WDCB, had better ratings than the Game.
