I heard it at the time. I cannot remember if TB was present that day. I kept thinking someone needs to check little Danny and cannot recall that anyone did.

Well, here it is: this is the most disgustingly obsequious thing Bernstein has ever said (non-Reinsdorf division). "I feel bad that you, my bosses, couldn't fire someone when I know you wanted to." Jesus fucking fucking fucking Christ.

Oh, I didn't see that I was being asked to fill people in. I think people already give the gist of it but when they announced Patrick Mannelly was going to host, Dan took time to personally thank Rod Zimmerman for not bringing Mac back, saying that management had been "permissive to a fault" and "accepting to a fault" of Mac's issues with depression and addiction, and that Rod did the right and courageous thing by not offering Mac a contract. Also, with Mac off the roster, now the Score could say that every major host had at least a bachelor's degree (though didn't Mac?), and that this would make the Score a better station than it was before. There may have been some other stuff in there, might be worth combing the archives for the show thread, but it was a look behind the curtain and I didn't like what I saw one bit.

Oh...oh my God. Nothing has ever made Bernstein sound more punchable than this.

Found the thread. viewtopic.php?f=128&t=88700&start=150
It was a Leery fill-in.

I don't recall if Mac ever finished some final classes or something? Anyway, does Goff have one? Not sure about that.

Because he's an ungrateful bitch.

When Goff was just a lowly B&B producer, Mac allowed him to sub on his show several times. Mac did this even though the great Ja Sa Go would relentlessly attack Mac on the B&B show.

Guess what? Goff will smile and give Mac a big hug when he sees him in person. "How you doin', playa. So glad you're back at the station. Missed you, brother."

Because Goff is a phony.

Goff flunked out of SIU after his freshmen year. Maybe it was just one semester. He's told the story about having a broadcasting class where the professor told them they had to talk properly. And Goff never went back to the class. I'm sure his parents were happy to drop a 10 or 15k on somebody that didn't go back to class after the first day.

Oh...oh my God. Nothing has ever made Bernstein sound more punchable than this.

Thats one hellava thread, CH. Great find.

That last part about the bachelor's degree...

It's sad. Goff has a lot more in common with Mac than Bernstein. When Goff used to be himself on radio he was an enjoyable listen. It's weird that all the back-ups want/wanted to copy Bernstein when Mac was always the more successful host and has had the better career.

Later that year, Dan's bosses were host-friendly to a fault when they didn't suspend him for tweeting that he loves giant boobs. They'd finally get him a few months later when he tweeted that the Blackhawks ran a train on Cheryl Scott, but nobody thanked Mitch or Rod on the air for it.

I really don't remember it happening that way, especially with Jason sitting there with not even a completed semester at SIU

Bernstein would have had bigger bonus checks if the Score had kept Mac and not signed the Cubs.

Which is interesting in of itself . Hire the guy who couldn’t draw flies in fucking Atlanta and ended up getting fired and hand him the afternoon drive shift based on .... nothing .

I've said for a while that Goff has much more in common with North than with Bernstein.

Great thread, and thanks for finding it.

And the Score higher ups tried for more than a year to get Mac to come back.

And as you know CH, no one has suffered more from Mac's absence than Bernstein.

Thanks for this. Great daily thread with Quality comments by MANY.

Good day today with this topic! What makes the score work is the a. the silliness, b. callers and c. awesome guests. Mac, Terry, and for what its worth, Mully and Hanley get /got that. And so does Bernsie. And matt and danny. Goff doesn't. He thinks its about HIM and His/their show.
