Most shows are boring as hell, just a rehash of the same tired team approved takes. Problem is that no differing opinions are allowed on the station and the hosts seem stunned when a caller that disagrees is allowed on the air. Used to love it back in the day when (I think his name was Nabil?) would call in everyday and call North a "windsock", stole that and still use that today from time to time, it completely baffles people because they have no idea how to respond when they get called out for waffling on an opinion, also makes me smile as a long time score guy.


Have you heard the criticism of the Bulls over the last 5 years? I can only speak for Mac/Parkins but to say they just give the team-approved takes is flat-out wrong. They are always criticizing the Bears and questioning the Cubs.

I think you selectively remember your favorite types of calls from the past while ignoring how awful most calls were/are.


Sorry you missed the early years of the station. If your going to compare the approach the station took before it was purchased to the modern corporate version then as they say down south, "bless your heart".


I did not miss the early years of the station. But talking about the "approach" of the station versus saying that shows just rehash the team-approved takes are two different things. If I felt a show was acting like team-employed reporters and only giving team-approved takes, I wouldn't listen to them. As a Hawks fan, I don't consume any of their website articles and pay little attention to what Eddie Olczyk and Charlie Roumeliotis report.


Interesting, but does not bear (pun somewhat intended) up to scrutiny. Let's look at Bears coverage for example, Hub is a guest on all the shows, arguably the stations top Bears expert. Hub will shut down any caller or host that even begins to question/place blame on Bears ownership, his takes become the takes of everyone else at the station. Grote is a Bears team employee and is the stations Bears reporter, filling the team friendly reporter roll formerly filled by Holmes and Zaidman. The primary source rolls are all filled by guys that are directly connected with the team therefore they are reporting exactly what the team wants them to report, so they are in fact giving you team approved takes.


I'm with you on Zaidman and Grote, but I disagree on Hub. I find him to be levelheaded and calm more than a tool of Bears management/ownership. In terms of Hub shutting down callers, I just don't think he's interested in having a conversation over and over again about changing the Bears ownership, when the odds of that event actually happening are extremely low. GM's, coaches, and players come and go, but for better or worse ownership tends to endure, and there's not much anyone can really do about it.

Remember a specific incidence on a post game show last year where a caller brought up the fact that Bears ownership needed to take heat for the teams poor performance. Hub called the question "silly", and said the GM and Coach were responsible, Olin simply said, "Who hired the GM and coach", Hub went dead silent and quickly moved on to the next call. You cannot really fault Hub, his and his families incomes depend on access to the Bears and NFL, but always realize his takes are going to be impacted by the need to avoid offending the team.

He is 100% practicing his serious radio in the mirror tonight, despite the fact not a soul will see him delivering said “SERIOUS, IMPORTANT, radio”.

Dan is terrified. Gated community or not.

So is the guy here who reminds us everyday that he resides on the North Shore.

I just want to remind everybody about our Deerfield/Duke boy, Dan Bernstein.

He was the guy that would refer to black basketball players as "Wang-Whippers". That was code for the N word.

He referred to a black women college player as a "Wildebeest". And he and his partner, Terry, insinuated that she had a penis. Why? Because she was a big strong black girl.

So I don't want to hear Bernstein try to solve the problem when he's been part of the problem.

Oh wait... he's evolved. Right? :roll: And he constantly reminds people that he lives in Chicago because he wanted his kids to see brown people. So that means he's not racist, because he always says this. Right?

Wasn't his other go to always the "imaginary klansmen" reference? I think he used that quite a bit, especially involving Dusty.

Don't forget Bernsie saying Dusty Baker didn't have letters from racists as he claimed.

Yes.

The "Dusty Baker stuff" and the "Imaginary clansman" are also things to throw on Bernstein's racist resume.

Thanks for bringing that up.

Like I said, I don't want to hear from him when shit like this goes down. He takes these events to be opportunistic and acts like he cares because he has a microphone and an audience. But he doesn't care. Never has.

Bernstein knows what he has to say in moments like this. So it's theatre. Then he gets the response on twitter saying "You were great today, Bernstein". When it's all hollow and fake coming from him.

I see through him. I think I'm good at reading people. I know Bernstein's game. He sure as hell isn't fooling me.

I thought Goff was very good.

And I thought Dan was a dick for only inviting Goff on his show only when a black guy died by a cop. Never before. As far as I know. Other shows have had him.

Dan: Let's get my old partner on now to talk about a black guy being murdered. Ya know, cuz Jason is black. So...

To be fair, its probably the only phone number he has of a person who is black

Listened for about 5 minutes. Dan is unlistenable. Where is Count Fagula when you need him?

Gave it a try for 5 mins while doing cardio, thought I heard him say something about police playing army? The left wing message is pretty much incoherent at this time because any thinking person realizes that reasonable people stop listening once looting starts. One can use whatever pretzel logic you want to try to justify looting, but whatever social justice message you are trying to send is lost once images of large groups of people looting hit the air.

It's a funny juxtaposition listening to Dan talk about Laurence and Herb giving it to us "raw and real," and then going into a read for Omaha Steaks.

If someone told me those tweets from Chris Palmer were from Bernstein I would not have doubted them.
