You can contextualize observing traditions of the Jewish people however you'd like, but I found it interesting that a guy who's always railing against the nebulous concept of "organized religion" was arguing for an instance of a religion being quite organized indeed -- organized into brackets by donation level, I guess.

I've never been able to explain exactly why I find Dan's on-air shilling for One Step to be so unseemly, and here the man himself sums it up pretty well.

That's weird. I can't believe people like him but this is the side he takes in his social causes. It's shame and blame the shitty person, then he tries to shame his listeners into agreeing with him. He never really gives a shit about the victims, he doesn't show much compassion for them. He's an angry, weird guy.

You finally have to realize that little danny is the real piece of human garbage.
Just useless, self important trash.

What a day, what a show!

If anybody can ruin Scotch its DB. Instead of going with his cliff notes as a Scotch drinker (note: no personal preference could he express), he should have asked Jason whether Terry should get him some Dewars or the Chivas Regal?

The man apparently likes to keep his religion tightly tucked, by denomination, in his wallet. To be pulled out whenever his "Jesus" cracks won't fly (or when Goff is in the room). Pretty cool to be a better Jew than those at the bottom of the list.

Speaking of scared, I found the exchange with caller Frank hilarious. He's right in that DB is a hypocrite, he just couldn't nail him down because Dan got argumentatively slimy and Frank could only tell him not to get that way. Whatever kind of threat Dan perceived when he needed armed secruity guards, the bottom line was that he was scared. Should it really matter where a person lives as a determinant of the degree one should be scared? I forget how he characterized the threat (he used more than one type of terminology) but the bottom line is that he was scared.

Add in the fetishization of LeBron's intelligence (because he's comically funny) and Derrick not being so smart (apparently T-shirts don't count, even though LBJ put the same one on the next day). And don't forget the call to the secret source that explained why Robin Ventura will be back the next day.

Leery came on at the end and he tore to shreds (first time ever?) what Bernstein was saying in support of Ventura. Maybe Leery scared him with some sound, cold, straight-forward logic. Bottom line: Bernstein's reasoning/explanation to keep Ventura is reason for a fan to not attend/support the team.

Danny was trying to explain why he doesn't think Mike Matheny is a good manager. He said that he is a meatball who clings to antiquated notions of unwritten baseball rules and eschews modern statistical analysis. He said that good teams can win despite having a bad manager. Nevermind that the Cardinals organization does embrace statistical analysis, and Matheny's shortcomings as an in-game manager do exist, but to call him a "bad manager" is simply wrong. Dan thinks that managers should simply push buttons based on the statistics. He completely ignores the aspect of managing egos, the clubhouse, and pulling a team together despite the enormous amount of injuries that that particular team has endured. (unless it is the current Cubs skipper, then all that stuff is REAL). Go ahead and call him a bad in-game manager...fine. But to say he is a bad manager of a team is completely wrong.

One thing I realized today is that, on top of his general douchbaggery, his sports thoughts are usually bad. Like, real bad. The asshole doesn't know shit about anything.

There's a lot of shit the average dope doesn't understand about protocols and clubhouse standards. I just read a good article about the downfall of the Nationals and learned that if a manager gets a reliever up a second time he has to go in the game. If he doesn't it's a breach of protocol.

I thought you could get him up twice but not three times, ie he would be in the game or done for the night.

Agreed, but Matheny is still likely a serial killer.

Wasn't the issue with Williams that he got Thornton up five times and never brought him into the game?

Well, Williams got Thornton up five times without putting him in the game and the bullpen revolted.

And a Christian. I assume that's where Danny's dislike of him begins.

Only manager to make the playoffs in each of his first four seasons. Granted he has a little help from the expanded postseason pool. But yeah, what a terrible manager. Best record in baseball with their ace gone for 97% of the season, not to mention their LF, 1B, and C missing significant time. Can't wait for him to be fired! Guess he should bring a god damn magician or zoo animals into the clubhouse to be a Really Smart Manager. I bet Matheny isn't even in the top 5% of donators at his church either.

OK! That's one . . .

MMA guy from Menomonee Falls Wi had a burgler invade his home recently. It might not be a cornfield but its pretty close.

I stick by my opinion that "Who? is going to break into YOUR house?" as completely ridiculous point/argument when it comes to the gun debate.

BTW, I hate guns, don't own one, and never shot one. I am, however, in favor qualified US citizens owning guns and in favor of reasonable gun laws. Back round checks and waiting periods....etc
