hillarious story Mac told the other day about Murph
where after the notorious Boers tiff. Muph took out a 4 year old thank you card from Mac that was signed "your friend Mac" .. guess Murph wanted to to remind him what he wrote 4 years ago despite all the anomosity that had later developed.. "hey Mac let the record show what you wrote! arent you ma friend no more??"



What a f*ckin Tool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What was the Boers/Murph feud about anyway?

Mike Murphy vs. Terry Boers

Before agreeing last year to have his "Boers and Bernstein" show moved from mid-days to afternoons, Terry Boers put forth a non-negotiable request: He would not take part in "transitions" with Mike Murphy, the Score's host from noon to 2. Rosen restored the transitions—segments in which the hosts gab freely with one another for 5 to 10 minutes—when he joined the Score last year. But there's no transition banter between the Score's afternoon shows.

"I'm not interested in speaking to him," Boers said. "Not on the air, not off the air, not anywhere."

The feud started in the early '90s after Murphy played a cut from a '69 Cubs reunion show. During an interview with second baseman Nate Oliver, Murphy said something that struck Boers and then-partner McNeil as a little odd.

"[Murphy] sounded like he was a charter member of the Village People," McNeil said.

McNeil approached his producer to make a cut of what Murphy had said. McNeil and Boers played it the next day on their show.

"[Murphy] came in giving Terry the finger, saying he's a cancer, all guns blazing," McNeil said. "I was just as guilty in trying to make [Murphy] look the fool. Terry didn't care one way or another."

But Murphy, for reasons that remain unexplained, took out all his ill will on Boers. The feud has not subsided. Boers occasionally mocks Murphy by playing less-than-flattering clips from his show.

And Murphy, whom some at the station describe as overly sensitive, once grew so annoyed that he waited in the studio to confront Boers, who had left for the day. Murphy declined to discuss the specifics of his feud with Boers, saying it has nothing to do with his show.

"I grew up listening to Wally Phillips on WGN," Murphy said. "He would never mention his wife, his family, what he liked to eat, who was coming on next and what so-and-so did or said. And I've always emulated Wally Phillips.

"My show is non-stop sports from the first inning to the ninth inning. I don't talk about where I eat dinner or where I buy my shoes."

Boers said that when he goes on remotes, Score listeners frequently ask him why he doesn't do transitions with Murphy.

Said Boers: "I don't want to start our show having spent a moment with him. I hope he feels exactly the same way."

Then why is he always talking about Brown's chicken.

And why do we know his wife's name? Or how he needs the hammer to tackle the extensive "to-do" list she has for him?

I PREDICT... that Murph's show will suck today

I think his wife's name is Dana. He's talked about her, so Murph who you crappin'?

Fixed this one for you. Murph tries to talk about other things, but simply cannot adequately do so. He is football and basketball retarded and cannot talk about the Sox without somehow steering it back to the Cubs.


or C) Murph is in fact a raging douchebag
It's also possible that (b) and (c) are true. I have no problem criticizing Mac... his current show is not perfect and he has his shortcomings, but you cannot call into question his dedication to his craft. That's just not true. Boers... well that's a different story.


I do agree with this. Boers does need to grow up and let it go.

that was a well thought out response to Panther, but I gotta add that I don't picture Murph not being one of the "frat" boys...I think he's just out of step with the rest of the Score talent...he also managed to get Mulligan quite upset with him and seems childish as well. His dedication is not really in question, but the way he runs his show has not changed since he broke ways with Fred, and even then it was a constant battle to control their show, and you could easily spot the "Fred" bits versus the "Murph" bits. Putting him with someone else would definitly help immensely....

But, then the entire show would be like when he has a guest. During the entire time that the other person is speaking, Murph is saying, Yeah....uh huh....right....yeah....uh huh. That would be a tough listen for four hours.

Waiting for the time when I can finally say
That this has all been wonderful, but now I'm on my way

He's trying to let the guest know he's paying attention. However, he overdoes it, probably because he ain't paying attention.

Let's not forget that Murph also got into it with Mully in transitions a few years ago. I don't remember what exactly it was, but it was over the Bears and Mully "not doing his job" or something like that. That dispute officially ended or signaled the end of SCORE transitions.

Speaking of Juggs and the Banhammer.....
