He congratulated Mitch for firing McNeil when he went AWOL in 2013 or around there, but I don't recall him thanking the big shots for firing him after the twitter joke most recently.

But but but Bernstein wasn't going to do it himself and this guy deserves it so it's okay. Keying Teslas and swatting are also acceptable.

Ah yes, The Col Jessup defense.

The charity poker tournaments seemed like a pretty big deal for a while, then it faded like televised poker did.

Just for clarification: this is not a case of cancelling

Cancelling is when someone faces consequences for his thoughts. Bernstein is facing consequences for his actions. He threatened a guy and his family with harm.

If he had been fired by OneStep for something like saying the guy is a terrible person because he likes Trump, that would be cancelling.

I don't think anybody here who doesn't want Dan fired truly cares about Dan, but about themselves being able to enjoy listening to Dan on the radio

I actually prefer he doesn't stump for one-step anymore as it took up too much radio time for my taste. If he also stops promoting Twitter and program shows off of it (less of that lately), even better

Further clarification: he didn't do that

but if enough people with limited comprehension and/or those acting in bad faith claim he did, that is enough sometimes

but, if you live by the principle that you hate cancel culture, you must hate it irrespective of the person who is being cancelled

Not doing so makes you

of course he did. You'd have to either hold a low iq or have the brownest of noses not to understand he did.

"wanna fight? I'm a bad enemy", followed by "where you at?" doesn't leave a lot of room for interpretation...but there you are.

He’s not threatening the guy’s kids. He’s merely telling him that if he doesn’t apologize, he’s going to do something that’ll negatively impact the guy’s kids. Huge difference.

That’s the unilateral disarmament thing.

I'd personally much rather see these stupid twitter slap fights where nothing actually happens than them not happen because everyone is too hyper-aware of the people that will email your boss or any organization you're associated with. For entertainment value, this little fish episode was the best thing Bernstein has done in years. The radio show is terrible. Same with the Spiegel and Larry argument recently, very entertaining. Their sports thoughts are horrific, those personality driven arguments are as good as it gets with them.

Controversy creates ratings. Dan will be replaced by some talentless drone that will never have a thread go beyond one page.

The best response would’ve been to run Bernstein out there today and have him triple down. People are paying attention, Dan’s a natural heel…maybe take a few calls and it could’ve been radio gold.

Losing Parkins and then Bernstein in a matter of six months certainly leaves the cupboards bare.

I don't see Larry kissing Bernstein's ass like Mac and Parkins did.

Larry could be entertaining but you'd have to let everyone at the station and callers take the kid gloves off, that would be box office. A station where Larry wasn't wrapped in bubble wrap.

The key is to move angry, possibly drunk twitter Bernstein to the air and then we might talk about the radio show more often.

'harm' is doing a lot of work here, but ok. I was responding to an earlier assertion of yours that he threatened physical harm (he didn't), and directly threatened the guy's kids (he didn't).

That said, Dan definitely did something he shouldn't have and opened himself up to consequences.

He's not going to face legal consequences because he didn't do anything illegal (like threaten someone physically)

So it's all PR, which is what cancel culture is about. What is the benefit to OneStep (and their mission) having him on the board versus distancing from him? They made the calculation that he wasn't worth it, and can probably get a comparable emcee who didn't get in an embarrassing social media confrontation

I don't think The Score makes that same calculation, but they could. They did with Mac, but much to the chagrin of the stupid, these things are on a case-by-case basis and considered with context

Has Mac commented on whether the fish was likely dead or not? Even the outdoors "expert" at Barstool claimed the coagulated blood suggested the fish was dead.

The good ole days
