Actually, you are also white.


Not in all circles.

It's really disappointing to me that the "listener's hated race talk" reasoning has stuck as the reason Goff was fired when in reality it was because listeners hated the "fuck you" radio of the Dan Bernstein era. Goff and Spiegal were collateral damage. Bernstein is the one who really was clipped in all of this.

One of the more astute observations that i've heard on here in awhile. As time passes it is becoming more obvious that the real driver of the station was Terry Boers. When he was good that show was good. Once he fell off that show fell off.

It's "roles," but I don't think hers are limited.

What a fucking asshole, huh? Sox fan who thinks he can dunk on deez-n-doze Chicagoans but he can't even proofread.

EDIT: "full-time woman" aaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahaha holy shit


The Chicago accent implying racism was one of the many things about Bernstein that always got under my skin. They wouldn't dare use other familiar accents in this city to indicate the stereotyped flaws of a group. I think Tallest Midget identified it early on that Bernstein radio was defined by a hate of the middle class

Once again, let me point out that ltg flat out refused to listen to B&G. Maybe it wouldn't have been cancelled had you joined me in listening more.

Also, Bernstein wasn't limiting "fuck you" radio to just white people. He was very open at the beginning that he was beholden not to the listener but to the sponsor. That was an eye opener for me when he announced it because the station built itself on being the voice of the fan.

Beardown in all his crazy glory is very accurate when he tells people that Bernstein hates them. He really does. He doesn't even attempt to hide his disdain for the middle class.

"So the Score was looking to shake things up and instead went pretty blah. It could have tried something new, like adding a woman's perspective"

The problem with women talking sports is you can smell the bullshit and the faking it a mile away. Doris Burke is literally the only legit woman out there that I've seen or heard and this blogger thinks a good idea to shake it up with a woman? Listen buddy, this is a business, not a sociological experiment. Now and then Julie knows what's she's talking about but far more of the time she's bullshitting her way through it.

I played sports, I coached sports, I watch sports, I love sports. Don't insult me with people who aren't all in, be it man or woman. A poser is a poser is a poser. And I'll turn that shit off.

On a show that was literally built around LTG's interests even he did not listen. Seems like it was struggling to connect with an audience.

I don't think they do. However, they use Word Press, and, depending on what kind of editing you need, WordPress has some tools built in. If you avoid the sentence mistakes this writer made, you'd be fine for most readers. Errors in grammar and punctuation don't really matter, unless you make the wrong ones (like this guy).

If all these people are such believers in the promise of sports talk radio that is first and foremost built around the liberal side of the culture war, they should do something about it. Come up with an executive summary, proof of concept, and start finding investors who will make that a reality. It shouldn't be too hard because most white people who call other white people white people are pretty bougie and have access to capital. The Loop was a heritage station and it just sold for like $3MM! I'm sure a motivated group of witty and snarky do-gooders can get a whale or two who can put that sort of money up for such a good cause. Then we can have Beyonce Sports Radio and see how it does. The only question is do you give Jason the afternoon shift or every shift?


WCPT gets no ratings, but then again neither do WLS AM, WIND or even WVON.

Until the snark is actually outweighed by the wit, sports/talk radio is dead.

Yeah Dan McNeil is a great example of a guy that is "all in". How could anyone suggest otherwise.
