Holmes and Spiegel trashed Bears Houseman Zach during an interview today and Zach called back to clarify his stances on the Buffoonish Bears.
Great Stuff as Zach's shelf life has expired.

Mitch is doing a disservice to this guy's career. Every show is just letting loose on the guy and basically calling him a Bear's ass kisser. If I were Zach I would drop the beat reporter gig and just be a sideline reporter if he wants to retain any shred of credibility he has left.

I guess Bernstein started a trend at the SCORE. He dogs Zack so now the other shows are gonna do it. Doesn't shock me that Larry picked on Bernstein's thing. Bernstein made it cool to bash Zack. What exactly was this one about? What was said?

You're right, though. Mitch has to take him off the beat. Just let him do updates at WBBM and give the beat to someone else. If the hosts treat him as a "Bears Shill", how can you keep giving Zack to the listeners?

Zack must be going insane. He tries to keep his cool on the air, but it has to bother him that everybody at the SCORE discredits everything he says. I can just picture Zack swearing everytime he hangs up the phone after a "Bears Report". :lol:

Oh man, talk about putting Laurence in a tough situation. Zach is his BFF, but Bernsie has set the tone for ripping Zach at all times.

So if Zaidman turns face on the Bears, and then cant get any good info, what will you guys say then?

What difference would it make? He really doesn't get any good info now.

Perhaps The GHG gets good information, but he certainly doesn't report it.

Im just saying, I dont think ZZ is much dif than any other NFL beat reporter. The desire to see Zaidman air the Bears out in the preseason is a little premature, to say the least.

Because he's being paid by the organization to be the sideline reporter on Sundays. It's a conflict of interest because he's more concerned (and I won't fault him for this) with keeping his paychecks coming.

The bigger problem is Rosen keeping him as the Bears beat guy for the station. I remember hearing that Holmes would be doing more Bears beat stuff this year (which I understand he can't when he's co-hosting), but if that's the case, they need to find another substitute than using GHG because he's there.

What the hell is SHARK's guy what-his-name for?

It's not just this year. It's been like this for as long as I remember Zaidman doing both.

Doesnt sound like good business to shit on the people who you rely on.

Loho wouldnt shit on the Bears either when he was on the beat.

While that is true, he also didn't blindly defend everything they did.

Dude Im with you. I wish there was less bias in every facet of news media, but it's not gonna happen.

I completely agree with you on that bills. I'm just saying that Zaidman needs to be reassigned. If he's that damn important to the station, let him do updates and send out the King to do Bears beat.

Something about journalistic integrity, I suppose. Not an issue for a "host" but it is an issue for a beat reporter. While I'm not a fan of his work, I don't blame The GHG - he's been put in a tough position as a pseudo-employee and an alleged reporter. If Brad Biggs started drawing a paycheck from Halas Hall, I'd have to imagine the management of the Chicago Tribune would not allow it.

Same thing goes for his coverage of the trainwreck college basketball program in Lincoln Park.

Zach, at this time, sucks. He is handcuffed and is in a very precarious position concerning what he can and cannot say. He needs access so he can't tell the whole unvarnished truth, he can't make factual comments without spin and he can't go after players who are CLEARLY under performing or being total idiots. He just can't so he has to protect Greg Olson and make it seem that he is just a "hidden gem" and that it was/is the scheme's fault for not utilizing him. T. Harris, Cutler, Lovie, The Bears as a whole etc are all treated with very kid gloves and he always has to mix in faint criticism with overwhelming layers of bullshit and spin so he won't piss the players off. Players who, like Cutler and Olson and Urlacher Briggs on those interviews with ZZ, don't really appreciate him covering their under-performing asses. Do you think ZZ likes this? He probably hits the bottle right when his work is done and methodically loads and unloads a pistol while talking to himself and getting blasted. He is a true masochist but it's his job.

The hosts know this all to well but they still have to hammer him on air and blast him whenever possible. This is lame. It really isn't his fault as management put him in this situation. ZZ has to suck Bears Balls and Shaft and Brown Star because he needs to do his job and that's what his job is.

Larry is just picking up on Bernsie and his angle because he wants to fuck Lil' Danny and toss his salad. Just look at Lil' Larry and his targeting of Kenny Williams and his "BS" remarks on Manny. Jesus, talk about just plain blatantly stealing another hosts material.

The less Zach has to say the better.

Berns & LoHo were 100X better than Zach on the Bears beat. Neither of them ever sounded like they were kissing the Bears ass.

And that's because neither was the Bears sideline reporter on game days.

In the Big Picture, ZZ is some self important boring windbag.
As far as a Bears reporter goes, Jeff Dickerson just kicks his ass.

It was a thing when he actually called back and Larry called him out on his uppity attitude during the previous interview.

I only caught Zach's callback this morning, but I did listen to the first part twice on the podcast. Am I missing something? Did they edit something out of the podcast? It didn't seem any worse than any other Ginger Haired Jackass report I've heard.

You really didn't miss anything. Holmes just went Bernstein on him. That is what caused him to call back to try and defend his ass licking.

Ass licking = Survival for ZZ.

ZZ needs a job, if he doesn't spin than he is on the bread line with North.

Whenever I heard Larry he sounded as if he missed a brown spot on his nose. Dannyboy didn't hide his friendly relationship with Dave Wannstedt. Its easy for them to give Zach shit because they know where the line is drawn and know he has live in their past.
