Maybe his worst take in a career of awful takes. Nothing against Biles, but I wouldn't care if she had 100 gold medals. She competes in a sport that is 100% subjectively judged.

Man, Sir really taking it to the Native Americans with this dissing of Jim Thorpe.

Larry doesn’t even believe it. About biles being the greatest athlete. Woke people say woke things to show everyone how woke they are. It’s very common.

This. She isn’t even Ladecky.

Anything that is subjectively judged isn't a sport. It's a competition.

The personal medal total is a cheat for some of these olympic sports. The athlete can win multiple medals for essentially the same thing.

Is the butterfly stroke is much different than Tyson Bagent running the mile doing burpees?

We don't really need more than freestyle and medley, but all that medal-padding was to help us beat the godless Soviets and now it helps American women, so there will be breaststroke races forever, sorry.

I chuckled at the irony of the lengthy buffet discussion yesterday during transition. Seems that is a topic that is right in both meatpants' and leery's wheelhouses.

He does have quite the library of really awful takes whether it's his political/social thoughts, QB hot takes or now this.

Maybe he should go back to doing one of his shows where he plays interviews from other shows and then act like he learned all kinds of new information...less bad takes?

Larry and Danny expressing wonder and amazement at all things Caleb Williams today:
1) Williams understands football and can talk about it coherently;
2) Williams prepared for pre-draft interviews;
3) Williams enjoys learning about football;
4) The Bears think Williams is special.

They have repeated these observations several times today with varying degrees of surprise--as if they are expressing some kind of profound, hidden truths rather than the pedestrian and obvious statements that they are.

They are never going to own those arguments. Just move on, pretend they were right and give us insights now into Caleb.

Score trash Bernstein and Larry Holmes had Matt Eberflus on. Bit awkward after they endlessly mocked him last year calling him stupid and a racist.

The same cadre of idiots that told you for years how lucky we were to have the genius Matt Nagy coaching the Bears.

The level of football acumen at WSCR is the lowest it has ever been, life it too short to waste time listening to bad football thoughts.

You can save time by reading them here.

yeah..

did they tell eberflus that they unmercilessly mocked his 'H.I.T.S.' principles?

I wonder if there's a change in the direction on the Bears to be more positive since they are expected to be a better/relevant team and the station doesn't want a White Sox situation where the hosts are attacking the team.

There has been a pivot on Eberflus. Maybe it changes after Week 1.

Parkins was the last person in town that thought Nagy was a good coach, gave Nagy credit for drafting Fields when it looked like Fields might be very good. Parkins hit rate on correct football thoughts regarding the Bears is .01%, which is he went way out on a limb and said the Bears would draft Caleb Williams.

Spiegel has the worst football thoughts of anyone at the station, which is saying something.

_________________

Wasn't Spiegel supposedly this national baseball fan who could speak to other teams so Mac wouldn't have to?

Not sure what Spiegel really brings at this point? He doesn't really know basketball or football, he's still whining about the White Sox broadcast booth....He should have been shaken out as part of this move.

No one should ever dare mock the H.I.T.S. principles

He is a big baseball fan, he just always swallows whatever the Cubs tell him to and, like everyone else at the station, has been misrepresenting the importance of Tony LaRussa for 3 years. Mitch should program a show where the hosts cannot read twitter, that would be the best thing he could do to bring back a little of the glory days. You can predict exactly what every host will say by opening twitter each morning, it's extremely boring. The twitter groupthink coupled with never taking calls makes every show basically obsolete.

First time listening in years and Dan Bernstein was an angry little bitch during transition because he has to be on with a Barstool guy

He threw a bitch fit because Eddie called him "Bernstein"

The therapy he's selling every day isn't working on him. He's turned into Murph. I thought it was bad when their Jason Lieser segment got derailed into whether or not Bernstein and Lieser's kids should be called "geniuses" or simply brilliant by Loho but it incredibly got much worse as the hour went on. The station has never been worse than it is right now.
