Y2Jimmy0 Posted Friday at 10:04 PM Share Posted Friday at 10:04 PM I’ve been listening to Bernstein for 20 years. I can’t believe what he did last week. It’s why the mute button exists. If you can’t handle shitty assholes on Twitter right now, you need to delete the app. With that being said, 670 lost their two best hosts in last 7 months. They need a major lineup overhaul. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I’m not sure why you can’t believe what he did.

Highland Posted Friday at 11:03 PM Share Posted Friday at 11:03 PM I have always thought of Bernstein as an extremely bright guy but totally obnoxious. And sometimes not as smart as he thought he was. Just put him down with other Chicago sports figures with anger management issues like Dan McNeil and Ozzie Guillen.

bmags Posted Saturday at 12:57 AM Share Posted Saturday at 12:57 AM Man I used to love boers and Bernstein but it moved into actively hating him about 10 years ago. The further he got from having some actual knowledge (bulls beat) the less he could offer except to pose as a smart guy sports person by quoting people he thought smart sports people liked. cant believe he let this take him down tho lmao. He and Greg Gabriel should start a podcast in hell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need a major lineup overhaul. Expand Dan Bernstein has always been a mixed bag for me. I didn’t like how he treated callers on Boers and Bernstein, but that seemed to be part of their show. I met Dan in 2016 at a remote and he was kind of a jerk, but I chalked it up to that is just who he is. Since then, I’ve listened to multiple versions of his show and actually really liked his interviews and his analysis. I don’t really understand what his issue was with this dude last week, but it was really dumb. I bet Bernstein re-emerges in some form with a podcast and long form interviews. I doubt he would Be able to go up the dial though. The Score’s lineup needs an overhaul. Marshall Harris needs someone to drive that program. The afternoon program is okay, but may need to be separated to bring someone new in, unless that new person starts middays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcheck27 Posted Saturday at 04:04 AM Share Posted Saturday at 04:04 AM It's about time, #1 reason I stopped listening to the score. He was the smartest guy on the radio and was never wrong, just ask him. I don't know how anyone wanted to listen to him and how he lasted as long as he did. Good Riddance!

Chicago White Sox Posted Saturday at 11:45 AM Share Posted Saturday at 11:45 AM Bernstein deserved to be fired no doubt, but the guy he was fighting with on Twitter is also a little b****. He reached out to the FBI over a little fake tough guy talk? Lol…I fucking hate social media so much. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highland Posted Saturday at 01:09 PM Share Posted Saturday at 01:09 PM Before talk radio took off, and long before social media, Chicago had print reporters who actually knew about the sports they were covering. Bill Gleason, Jerome Holtzman and others acted like pros. Stopped listening to the Score a long time ago. There are exceptions when someone says something worth listening to, but those exceptions are few. Bernstein just fit in with the rest.

Expand He appealed to the non-athlete who thought they knew more about sports than the people involved as that's the way he was. He refused to have the athletes on as they didn't know enough about their sport particularly baseball. He was one of the first to really push analytics because the smart people knew more about baseball than the scouts and people who played. He made the average listener feel more important.
