I did not listen to Murph often. But in that time period, there was a place for a show like that. And there was some childish, yet marginally funny things, that he did. He had that Tool of the Week segment. And I recall him referring to Jim Rigglemon as Riggleamortis. That stupid crap appealed to me.

Are you stoned or pissed off, or both, when you create these postings?

Thank you deni$ for remembering a segmelly good.nt I created.

Radio HOF, here I come.

Bernstein is not back, that was a lame argument from him against Rose, and you could tell it was bad because even Larry disagreed.

Dan was trying to make some analytical argument ("win shares" is a terrible NBA stat per people who know as much) but I think deep down he holds the injury recovery "decision" against Rose like you do. And this was completely unmentioned but he probably doesn't like honoring a sex creep (though never convicted of anything, Rose at least affirmed in testimony he's a creep)

it's not like a jersey retirement has historically merited some objective standard. What was Chet Walker's jersey number? nobody knows! meanwhile, whenever anyone even in training camp thought of taking #1, thousands of millenials would spam that player and the team with rose flower emojis

prime Bernstein would've applauded the Reinsdorfs for their marketing efforts surrounding an 'undeserving' player still getting them a good home gate revenue after his injuries hurt that family financially for so many years

Now it was announced Bulls will retire the jersey...next year

Dan on social media calling it an 'injustice' to several other Bulls. Odd thing to take a stand on, Jersey retirements are not the hall of fame. And even as honors go the basketball hall of fame is not prestigious, watered down by every D1 coach with longevity

Silence over the injustice of the craven money grab to drag this honor out over another home game next season. 'Pernicious myths' back?

I agree with him on Rose. But I understand the Gale Sayers type POV. The unfortunate thing is Rose sat himself out. The reason was unfathomable. To me anyway. He gets paid to be crippled in the older years. So do plumbers and carpenters, for example. Not electricians though. They twist wires and bend conduit. Women do it.

SHOTS FIRED

Rose: “I am a businessman now.”

On a unrelated note, Thomas Brown praise reminds me of politicians, when sick with Covid, tweeting out they were ok because they have been vaccinated. I don't think a Chicago media person can mention Thomas Brown without having to first let everyone know that they thought Brown was put in a tough situation but handled himself well..before getting to their actual point.

good pick up. noticed this the other day on chsn expert football show, with haugh, polinsky..etc.

polinsky mused that maybe brown had saved his job with an 'eloquent' defense of....etc and etc....packer post game speech that woke the ghosts of lincoln and jefferson...she asked haugh if brown may have potentially saved his job and be a viable candidate as the next head coach.

haugh, did his best not to bust out laughing. haugh starkly said 'no', as he fought back spasms of laughter.

the few times i spent time watching this show and the 2nd horrific bears football take by her.

I've heard most of it now. I stand by my original comments. They're just going to jump in, outraged every 3 minutes whether it's justified or not and pretend to not understand what Poles is saying.

The Bears deserve to be criticized, just do it for the reasons that matter.

I've started listening and it just feels too much like staged outrage.

Poles says he has a strong relationship with Warren, works with him daily and says that many of the rumors he has heard are untrue.

All 3 are outraged and pretend that they don't know who has said that they don't work daily together when, to me, it was clear, Poles was referring to the overall relationship of which has been a constant theme, including on this show.

I'm sure I will agree with some of their outrage, maybe even most, but when you go into these looking to yell and nitpick, it comes off to me as just fake outrage to be upset.

Hate to tell ya this "Amigo", but that is sort of the essence of how life works.

Allow me to be disagreeable here.

The point re: Poles and Warren isn’t whether they’re friends. It’s why the hell should black lawyer Ted Phillips have so much football input when white accountant Kevin Warren was rightfully a punching bag for the exact same reason. It’s Groundhog Day.

When Poles says he spends every day with Kevin Warren talking about solutions and the direction of the football team…what the hell does Kevin Warren know about building a football team?

They were very easily offended and parsing every word. But it’s content gold for WSCR.

I've heard some of our football experts/hosts suggest that he will be well perceived all over the league, was actually a very good offensive coordinator before the head coaching job, maybe should be part of the next Bears coaching staff...

Bernstein's pandering topped the cake

I think Bernstein said that if Caleb wins a Superbowl, he could see him thanking Thomas Brown.

Despite every team announcing on X that they have interviewed a coach, regardless of race, Dan Bernstein (with both Leila and Harris agreeing) accused the Patriots (and others) of being racist by announcing when they have completed interviewing minority candidates. He did this 2x in the first hour of the show today.

Full agreement from his co-hosts at another ignorant, but extremely confident in his bad takes.

Very excited to hear more about the Rooney Rule discussion this week on/off.

I think you're trying to be sarcastic but nobody is buying it. You are addicted to feeling aggrieved.

It was a topic on/off on Mully/Haugh. So far, not as much, from what I've heard on Bernstein/Harris.

Feeling aggrieved? No. I do like calling out their very bad takes.
