You shouldn't derive all enjoyment from a game based on winning alone. I agree with that for the most part. Winning every season is unrealistic. It makes championships more special when they happen.

They should ask Boers if he can come in for a day whenever McKnight has a planned vacation providing he's up for it health wise. The Bob from Niles bit was hilarious, as was the McGowan stuff. 83...

The Beast Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 83!! Does anyone know if McNeil and Parkins stopped doing “Can’t Do It” on their show? Loved hearing B&B on Monday. Also love when Bernstein goes after dumb callers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't miss them. Even if a caller has a valid point, the caller would be ridiculed or made fun of if they didn't agree with B&B. And I have always have thought of Boers as a nasty person who just liked to demean people. I can't remember the last time I listened to the Score. It is lousy radio. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, 95% of the time the people they made fun of deserved it. They had thoughts that no rational person would have. It was a rare case when people actually had anything close to something constituting a rational thought and they got roasted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am aware many deserved it although I think the station liked when the idiots called in because they were easy to best in any sports argument. I just know arrogance when I see it.

No doubt. However, I personally dont find the constant demeaning of people and the arrogance of the hosts entertaining. That's why I still can't listen to Bernstein. He was good when he was a part time weekend host. He had a lot of fun and good ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donaldo Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Long time listeners of The SCORE know how some hosts have been telling McNeil that he has to see "Boogie Nights," saying that he'd like it. Mac finally watched it recently, and to say that he didn't like it would be an understatement. ? Not a fan of Boogie Nights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyyle23 Posted December 24, 2019 Author Share Posted December 24, 2019 On its face clearly Roenick was joking around and being a guy on a guy podcast. But dude needs to have a lot more awareness about what he is saying, it was incredibly dumb to say what he said about Tappen because it puts her in a tough spot. I sincerely doubt Sharp had a problem with what he said though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donaldo Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Sports radio has been a pleasant listen these past few days. For the past 5+ years, it's been all Cub love and almost all Sox hate. Today it did a complete 180. They're actually starting to criticize Saint Theo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hub Arkush was on with Boers, and Terry was complimenting the Sox. Hub, a Cubs fan, interjects with a Sox attendance comment, “Even when they were winning....” No matter what the Sox do, there’s always a “yeah, but” attitude from the media that doesn’t exist for other teams because the media is mostly filled with Cubs fans, and even the ones who are Sox fans tend to buy into that narrative. It would be nice to experience some unbridled enthusiasm every once in a while when it comes to the Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moan4Yoan Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 (edited) I was listening to The Score last night and Cubs lover David Schuster was discussing the Sox moves with Scott Merkin. He actually asked Merkin if the Sox would add an infielder like Addison Russell and Merkin shut his ass down hard. Such a joke that the Cubs loving media can’t discuss another team without somehow tying the discussion back to the Cubs.
