The future holds the possibility to be great or terrible, and since it has not yet occurred it remains simultaneously both.

What I'll remember most is when he did a solo show and acted like a douche to everyone and when he did some interview saying that being Jewish made him work hard at doing sports talk.

I never heard that before.

Yeah, some waiting-room magazine did an interview with Les, Senor, Jordan Bernfield, and I forgot the other guy, and it was about being Jewish in sports radio (this sounds more like the setup to a joke than anything). Senor said something about how being Jewish makes him approach things more intelligently than gentiles do because of course he would. Jordan Bernfield said it made him get good grades in school and work hard at everything. I forgot what he said but Grobber, of all people, was the one who approached this whole weird deal the best.

Jordan Bernfield of WGN AM 720: “I think often the Jewish values of striving to be the best, striving to be successful are values that coincide with trying to work in a business as competitive as this. It’s because in many Jewish families success is valued, and there are so many Jews who strive to be at the top of a competitive field.”

Dan Bernstein of WSCR AM 670: “Like it does in many walks of life, [my Jewish upbringing] brings with it a certain analytical way of seeing the world, finding the gray areas, asking questions upon questions, always with the lively intellectual dissatisfaction and mordant humor. No question it helps in finding what is funny amid what may not appear to be.”

David Kaplan of WGN AM 720 and Comcast SportsNet Chicago: “I try not to wear my religion on my sleeve, although I’ve never hidden the fact that I’m Jewish. All my listeners know. I always wish my listeners happy new year [at the Jewish New Year] and happy Passover, and I do the same thing for those who aren’t Jewish. I try to treat everybody the right way.”

David Schuster of WSCR AM 670: Being Jewish doesn’t make much difference in his career but creates “a comfortable feeling” with many team owners and executives who also are Jewish, he said. “I feel a special kinship to them, but I won’t play that up [on the air] at all.”

Les Grobstein of WSCR AM 670: “We all got big mouths.”

I. WILL.

:lol: @ Grobber

I rarely troll.

I love this use of "mordant" by Bernstein. He just has to "Bernstein" all over himself.

Honestly, what about the Jewish faith or its culture have to do with being analytical? "Analytical", "asking questions upon questions" and "intellectual dissatisfaction" do not sound like the pillars of a dogmatic monotheistic faith such as Judaism.
