2 first place baseball teams in June and they want to talk vaccines .

Yeah but you can hear baseball talk anywhere.

Where else can you hear a morbidly obese man offer his thoughts on public health?

_________________

It’s lazy “sports talk.” And there is absolutely nothing new they can offer on the topic.

Yup, podcasts of Bears segments from Kap and Hood are the only Chicago based sports talk I do these days. You can get the stuff on WSCR anywhere, the station which used to put out solid content is just a shadow of it's former self at this point, just wonder when they will pull the plug and go to nationally syndicated content to fill in around Cub pre/post/play by play.

Reading between the lines, Rizzo was pretty clear that he's trying to knock his wife up. There hasn't been time to have sufficient studies on the impact of the various vaccines on those under 12 much less the impact on fetuses. If Mrs. Rizzo happens to be 7-8 weeks pregnant, a point where most people don't make announcements due to the risk of miscarriage, what do people want him to say?

He went on to say before the game the other day in his zoom session that he wants people to get the vaccine in general and that he's not against the vaccine.

Saturday morning, Haugh ripped him, and Levine refused to do so. Haugh was not happy with Levine at all.

Stunning that at 670 there will be no one to defend Rizzo and company decision . Just like with Kaep, they all line right up .

The board typically reflects what is being discussed on sports radio—specifically the Score. So if they’re constantly harping about the vaccine, it will become a topic here as well.

I think if they dropped the subject, the board would as well. I don’t see anyone here that cares one way or another who is vaccinated or not. Well, maybe Beardown.

I had 670 on this morning as I had been listening to the Sunday Night game on the way home from a wedding. First thing I hear is how Bernsie couldn't enjoy that long at-bat by Rizzo on Friday because he knows that the havoc that the September variant strain will wreak on the un-vaccinated will kill the season...after the Cubs are buyers at the dead-line. A lot of variables there to not just enjoy something in the moment...

I happened to get into my rental car at that same moment to drive from my hotel to see my dad. Bernstein just couldn't wait to shit on somebody who didn't uniformly agree with him.

Rosenbloom and Spiegel had a more nuanced conversation about it over the weekend. Their angle was that perhaps Jed would trade Rizzo for a vaxxed player who would put them over the 85% (of course, they would probably need to move him to a team that was already comfortably over the threshold).

During today’s 5@5, the definitive segment of the stations highest rated show, one of the questions referred to him matter of factly as an “anti-vaxxer” and if he should still be considered the face of the organization.

Just amazing how this is being interpreted and handled by the station

It's almost as if WSCR is trying to get out of the contract with the Cubs or Cubs Mgt. is using WSCR to help it be palatable for Rizzo to go as contracts are coming up and you can't keep everyone.

I dont know if " we traded him because he isnt vaxxed " is any better than " we traded him cuz we're too cheap"

You don't think in this climate that one is more palatable then the other?

I'm pretty sure that extremely ideological and nosy radio hosts don't get to unilaterally declare who is the "face of the franchise".

It is a sad commentary on our society that this has become political. I had a neighbor who was convinced childhood shots cause her son to “contract” autism. Oh well.

With the great irony being that both Trump, and liberals, love the vaccine. It is a political issue that isn't really being driven by politicians.

Democrats have chosen to make it political by mandating "vaccine passports" and such...

Good thing you ran out and got your vaccine ASAP then, Bobby!

Will always be funny coming from the board's raging lunatic that drove across the state and line jumped so many seniors to get his "shot".

Let’s see if there’s an all of the sudden increase “omg we just noticed this “ from hosts and the sports media in general now about how terrible he’s been this year and underperforming his contract he has .

says the guy who carried a big stick all winter about never getting a vaccine, then ran out to get one before IL opened availability to all over 16 years old. Integrity Bob strikes again!

Integrity? You manipulated your job status so you could line jump elderly people that desperately wanted the vaccine at the time. How many old people in Gibson City Illinois had to die because of lunatics like Frank?

Bob I admire your continued participation in vaccine threads knowing you are going to get hit in the face with this shovel time and time again.

Yup. One of the board's biggest "antivaxxers" got his Covid vaccine six days before IL opened up to all ages 16+. Of course he deflects every chance he gets.
