Golic is a much better listen than Greenberg, who i always thought was the weaker link. Their show is vanilla, their guests are blah, and they both are stupid when it comes to pop culture.

but Golic knows his shit with football, and i usually like hearing what he has to say about that.

I actually don't mind his sons. They're decent.

The best part of this story are the parallels you can draw comparing career arcs of Greenie vs. Bernsie.

I think they started off at the same place and position at the score. It is purely speculative but my feeling was Dan desired to be be bigger and more important. That is why he used to try to do Dan Patrick fill ins for a while. Seeing Greenie ascend into national radio fame and now television is likely not a great feeling for Bernsie comparatively. Again, just my opinion.

can't believe they started to beat whatever was on the score for years. that's how far the score has fallen i guess.

PM... Idk man. I don't think it's healthy to think about Bernsie this much in your spare time.

I don't think that is right. If anything, Bernstein got comfortable and not willing to take a chance. He had a great job that was easy and working well with a good life in the city he wants to live in. Greenie had to turn himself into a character that acted every day. That just doesn't strike me as how Bernstein wants to live.

I belive Grenberg started at The Score before Bernstein; I think Bernstein may have replaced Greenberg when he went to ESPN - the timing was close.

Having talked with bernstein about this, he wanted what Greenberg had/has - national exposure. Greenberg went on to national talk show, hosted a game show on ABC, written a few books - and bernsy is stuck in talking about road construction on the way to Wrigley. Bernstein won't get national now - DB isn't good looking enough for TV ( not even for a live Facebook feed), and the national ship sailed long ago.

Huh? All I've been led to believe by the Bernstein ass kissers is he's exactly that. He's not really a miserable fucking asshole, it's just a bit he's playing on the radio. He's exactly what you just described he isn't .

I don't think he is miserable and I don't think he comes off as that on the radio. He makes fun of stupid callers and sometimes gets too worked up about topics.

What I mean is that he would have had to come in every day and basically been a happy go lucky character that doesn't really ever say anything of interest but instead just acts like a harmless voice. That's pretty much what ESPN and other national hosts have to do when they are at a place like ESPN.

One need not be a complete fucking asshole to be interesting.

You only need to hear Dan get googly-eyed about New York for like five seconds to realize he wants more than what he got.

Good ole RFDC and Brick know what bernsie wants

Face it, nobody does, but I tend to agree with those who think he wanted to be bigger than he is.
