I'm not sure if bernstein really liked Mannelly, but he could barely hide his glee that Mac was gone. If Mac returns it's a definite loss for Team bernstein.

The Bernstein Tree took another hit on this one. You can't teach smart, and you can't teach interesting, either.

Maybe just maybe, like the Bears recently, Mitch & Zim have finally realized that they cant continue doing business this way. Maybe they realize that Berns has poisoned the young guys at the station & has a negative impact on morale and teamwork? Maybe not. But I can hope.
I am really really hoping that Mitch hires Kap & Haugh!

Welcome our new midday show, the Fabulous Sports Babe!!!

I wonder if Larz is continuing to be his little whiney bitch self and denying the Feder column?

Now I think I've got it.

It was Zimmerman that leaked the bogus "Score is pursuing Kap and Haugh" to Feder.

Why? Leverage. He wants Mac to read that so he can keep the price down. If Mac wants to fight, Zim will just say "I'll just get fuckin' Kap and Haugh Indiana boy."

Mac can't afford to call his bluff. He's in no position.

Zim: Take it or leave it, Mac. If you leave it Kap and Haugh are hired 2 minutes from now. They're both on speaker phone listening with their fingers crossed.

Mac: You wouldn't get those dip shits. Did you hear me boys? Dip shits!!! Bernstein hates them anyway, Zim. Thinks they're both stupid and/or meatballs. No way your gonna piss off your golden boy with those hires.

Zim: Try me. Bernstein hates you and thinks you're a meatball, by the way.

Mac: Good point. Alright. Deal.

I'm guessing that about midway through the 2nd overtime vs the Lakers Mannelly realized that he wasn't cut out for it. He knew that he had to become more well-rounded on the other teams and gave it a try. Ultimately bad Bulls basketball killed his will to go on.

Production really took a big hit with the loss of Finfer. What does Adam Harris do other than shit on the guy who gave his squeaky little ass his break?

Why does every thread turn into a Bernstein bash session? Does anyone seriously think Mannelly's decision was driven by his interaction with Bernstein? I give him more credit than that.

yeah,like in his years with the Bears,he never met guys that were intimidating.

Bernstein is the Olin Kreutz of WSCR.

I'm with Grid.

Although it is weird that Mac comes back now, in the middle of basketball. Maybe he's looking forward to baseball season...

Bernsie can't be happy about Pat being gone.

Blackhawks fans already forgetting about Hawkey.

No, City of Fools is an NBA dork, I believe.

As I have stated before, Mannelly's admission of NEVER have been to the United Center for a game completely turned me off. That means he had zero interest in the Bulls or Blackhawks. The lack of personality was running a close second as reasons for my dislike of the show.

Mitch should be fired. He makes mistake after mistake and bad hire after bad hire. Meatpants, Snapper, who's next?

He is not going anywhere. As long as Mitch is bringing Zim $20+ mil in billing, can't be fired.

it's funny, we grew up without a TV until just before high school, so most of my afternoons were in front of the radio listening to Bob Uecker and at night I was tuned into WBBM for the Blackhawks...but it didn't translate. I'm a MLB/NBA guy now, with a little premiership thrown in...

Well, let's see how this goes. 12 guests already!

So basically he doesn't care about other sports enough to do it, which we all kinda knew going in. Oh well, he tried, at least he's not an ass.

Mannelly on for two more weeks. Then good bye.

Most guys wouldn't be that honest. But you can be that with a couple million in the bank.
