What about this is hard to understand, gramps? I intentionally shared a Spotify link that required any listener to take an extra step or two to get any of his shows that I was on. I never linked an episode that I was on. That's different from what Bob has claimed.

Being a Miserable Prick was Terry's entire radio persona.


Terry had a problem with Tommy, after he left of course. He had a problem with MANY athletes and coaches, after he was done covering them of course.

He had a problem with the Sun Times. It was their fault when he didn't have the chops to be a columnist.(He was a good reporter)

And he has the all time record for breaking stories, after they have been publicly reported by other outlets.

There really weren't any extra steps required to find the podcast. Trust me, I'm not that smart. Probably why you took the link down I'm guessing.

I simply posted that name that was presented to me in the link. I thought it was a "nickname" to be honest. It appears Nas sent a note to Seacrest to get me banned.

I'm not sure I'd call what you did "doxxing", but you knew exactly what you were doing and that it wasn't appropriate within the board's culture.

I think he relied on them more than anyone at the station. He was an ink stained wretch until the end. They just happened to put a mic in front of his face

I don't know where I'd place Terry in the history of the Score. He was there, no doubt and his humor was important to the shows he was on. I don't know if he drove anything. I don't know if he created anything.

I remember when the Score was launched as a pilot station you could call it. Of all the of the original Score guys, he was the one that was really the known quantity imo. It surely wasn't either North or Dan Mcneil. Not even Jiggetts either. It was Boers given his work with the Chicago Sun Times and the Sports Reporters. He was the dude that helped provide credibility for the station. McNeil was an obscure producer and North a former hot dog vendor. It was Boers that made me start listening back in 92. And of all the guys on the air at the time, he was the dude that was most well rounded when it came to Sports too. McNeil didn't care about anything but Football and Hockey, and all North cared about was being a "meatball fan". Jiggetts never had an opinion about anything and it was obvious that all he cared about was not offending anyone to keep his job.
It was Boers that stirred the drink and not a coincidence that of all of the original guys, he was the one that lasted the longest. I disagree strongly with the notion that he rode coattails.

I forgot about him. Possibly because he was on WMAQ but it it never felt that way.

I think that your assessment is pretty accurate. People forget that Terry wasn't even a full time employee when the station started. The HFC was being split between Terry and Hanley. Terry came on FT in August.

Terry was still essential to the Score's success. But Mike and Mac were guys spending free time on week ends making appearances to get the station's name out to the general public.

I 100% agree with you that he gave the station credibility.

He did not stir the drink. His notion of what the Score should be was no different than what Chet was already offering. It would have failed if it followed Terry's vision. North and Mac defined what the station became.

And of all the guys on the air at the time, he was the dude that was most well rounded when it came to Sports too. McNeil didn't care about anything but Football and Hockey, and all North cared about was being a "meatball fan". Jiggetts never had an opinion about anything and it was obvious that all he cared about was not offending anyone to keep his job.
It was Boers that stirred the drink and not a coincidence that of all of the original guys, he was the one that lasted the longest. I disagree strongly with the notion that he rode coattails.


I 100% agree with you that he gave the station credibility.

He did not stir the drink. His notion of what the Score should be was no different than what Chet was already offering. It would have failed if it followed Terry's vision. North and Mac defined what the station became.


North's interview with Michael McCaskey is what launched the station out of the shadows.

Terry Boers pushed product at the Score. He was a host of the 2 best shows in the station's history. He was the person that helped create the best bit in the station's history.

He rode coattails throughout. Mac created and defined the character of HFC. Terry was the one who cautioned against embracing listeners, which eventually is what created so much loyalty for the station in this city. Mac and North worked OT to make that station what it was, partly because neither had the safety net Terry had. Terry had the union mentality, never working a minute beyond what was defined in his contract.

I don't know where I'd place Terry in the history of the Score. He was there, no doubt and his humor was important to the shows he was on. I don't know if he drove anything. I don't know if he created anything.


I remember when the Score was launched as a pilot station you could call it. Of all the of the original Score guys, he was the one that was really the known quantity imo. It surely wasn't either North or Dan Mcneil. Not even Jiggetts either. It was Boers given his work with the Chicago Sun Times and the Sports Reporters. He was the dude that helped provide credibility for the station. McNeil was an obscure producer and North a former hot dog vendor. It was Boers that made me start listening back in 92. And of all the guys on the air at the time, he was the dude that was most well rounded when it came to Sports too.

The most popular segment in the station's history was launched on a question which Boers asked Mike Ditka. Who at the time, was arguably the most popular figure in this city along with Michael Jordan and Walter Payton.
Boers was the only person at the station who knew sports and had some semblance of a personality. I don't care much about what went on backstage. What I listened to on the air was what mattered most to me.
He was easily the funniest guy there, and the dude who knew the most about sports too. And also the guy who did the least when it came to being a homer as well.

There are other people who have promoted podcasts on here before. Somehow I must have missed it when their "Govt" name was blasted throughout the CFMB airwaves.
Who?

Why is the govt name fine on the vast internet but verboten on a tiny dopey messageboard? Especially after the promotion. Not uncomfortable in the big world, but uncomfortable here? I respect Nas' wishes, we all should, but I know three people's first names here and they haven't said boo about it when others have addressed them as so. What is the explanation that I'm not seeing? If this place is skull and bones, I'd like to be informed about it and attend the ritual.

We've had people contact employers and get someone fired because of what they posted here. Some of us have colorful, tongue in cheek comments or post things we wouldn't want attributed to us by a Google search. Someone who isn't one of us may cringe or question why anyone would willingly be associated with the things that have been posted on this site. It's a safe space for pantsless sports fans. We operate by a code that is universally understood by all.

My preference has been to keep my name and likeness off this site. In the past, I've politely asked others not to share my image when I've attended board events. I've moved into the phase of life where I don't give a shit. It's why I didn't protest when Deni(s) shared my image or asked the Wisemen to delete the post when Bob or WFR posted my name. I have a unique name, but fortunately, there are MANY of me, even in Chicago.

I like to think well of all of my fellow board members but don't assume the good intentions of everyone here

I think our disconnect is here: Terry wouldn't have had the inclination or creativity to make that Ditka moment into the greatest bit in the station's history. I don't doubt he had his funny moments on the air.

Nas pretty much summed it up. If he wants his name known, then it's his story to tell. Not Bob's or anyone else's. I'm sure the 3 you know volunteered the information to you. Which is their choice. Frankly, with SOME of the creeps and weirdos that frequent the joint, I could see why he wouldn't want his name known.
And it's fairly obvious what "good ol boy" Bob was trying to do by his frequent dropping of the name. Just as pitchfork carrying WFR was trying to do. I doubt very seriously if either would have did the same if they'd known your name. Or anyone else that wasn't of the "diversity" variety. In fact I'm sure that NAS' Govt name isn't the only one that either of those 2 happen around here. But I'm fairly certain that his is the only one which they have ever dropped. Coincidence? I say not.
