The funny part is that Bernstein NEVER thought this would happen. That's why he went so hard after LaRussa initially. I mean he never thought it was real.
One weird part, before LaRussa got hired, Bernstein was saying "Oh, Jerry just wants to do him a favor and get his name out."
My exact thought when he said this was "Really, Tony LaRussa, at 76, needs his name out?" He's the fucking 3rd winningest manager in the history of MLB. He's in the HOF. I think people know who fucking Tony LaRussa is. He doesn't need a god damn favor like he's some bench coach that nobody knows about.
Anyway, now Bernstein has to deal with Tony all of next year.
Terry and Dan hated LaRussa when he was with the Cardinals. Terry had him on his "Bus list". For those that don't know, Terry's "bus list" means people that Terry hoped died by being hit by a bus.
This may make the show / station unlistenable, even more than it's become with all of the social justice talk. Now, they have an entire season ahead where they can question how he'll get along with black players, and social justice rehashing. Bernstein has to be pretty excited about this news, gives him a chance to host a MSNBC style show with sports as the invitation to take on such tough issues, etc.
