Does anyone know what Terry was rambling about at the beginning of transition when he tried to explain himself?

I don't get it. Why is everyone going off on this?

This is embarrassing. It sounds like the other guys know he's full of crap but won't explicitly call him out on it.

am I the only one who thinks it is odd that Lovie's son refers to him as "Coach"?

Ray Meyer's whole family called him "Coach".

^^^^^^^ Voice of reason ^^^^^^^^

Today, Terry sounded like a little kid who told a lie to impress his friends, and it ended up spreading like wildfire and got other people involved that he never intended. He began backtracking during transition and you could just tell by the tones of Mac and Meat that they didn't believe him. I doubt Bernstein believes him either but he felt obliged to stand up for the old man. Then throughout the show today, Terry sounded a bit flustered.

We all know that Boers has no connections with the Bears. Hell, he doesn't even watch the Bears. He doesn't watch anything but baseball and American Idol. The guy needs to retire and let someone else step in.

Meat was subtly attempting to distance himself from the silly non-story all day.

Again, nobody knows for sure if he was right or wrong, Sanka.

. . . but I will say this, for the station to trumpet the shit out of the "TB scoop" like that, don't you think that if it was a figment of Boers' imagination that he would have made an immediate, red-faced move to temper that enthusiasm a bit to curb a tidal wave of embarrassment?

. . . Like, say, he would have pulled an update guy or producer aside and told him to cool the jets?

The only other thing I could think of is that whoever decided to really run with it and blow it up is not a big fan of Good Ole TB, but I find that highly unlikely.

I think maybe that TB was onto something, but the publicity put the kibash on it, as evidenced in that shifty-ass news conference.

Terry is bad, a liar and totally full of shit.

Terry "Fredo" Boers "I'm smart, too! I have peeps, I do!"

To whomever said Terry is the "only" person in the media that uses "I got a guy", that's a lie too. Look no further than the guy he (sometimes) sits in the studio with. Just yesterday and today Dan has been wowing everyone with stories of his insiders in Champaign, Nike and the Bulls. He doesn't use "guy" as much as Uncle Teary does, but the validity of his "sources" are not much more solid than what Terry belches out. I think it's just embarrassing, for both of them. Terry obviously makes up a lot of stuff, on the fly, whereas I think Dan comes in with some "doesn't really matter, either way, and if it goes opposite whatever I say it'll be easy enough to just state that it could have ALWAYS gone the other way" pre-loaded.

I guess the good news for this show is that Jason "big time NBA insider" is gone ... that's one less "I got a guy at the UC who told me some stuff...snicker, snort...best believe Rasual Butler wasn't liking what Thibs was dishing out" useless BS machine.

They all went to the same camp.

Great point. Just this week, Dan's had a NASA source, a Nike marketing source, an Illini source...could be just as fictional as Terry's "guys".

*SIGH* Look, again, uh, uh, no, I mean, you see these guys, or, you don't see them, whatever you want to say, but, uh, eh, growing up in Steger, and uh, uh, I, I, I, *SIGH*, look, again, in my world, that is, going to Bloom, we didn't know many people of the Jewish faith, eh, eh, uh, I mean look, for the love of G_d, they were over in Homewood, but again, I never went to any camps, uh, uh, I, I, I worked at Jack-In-The-Box instead, and let me tell you, that was a motley crew, I, I, I worked with some of the biggest pieces of garbage ever to slap together a Bonus Jack, there was a guy named Brock Walters, and, uh, he never went to camp either, but, look, again, my partner, got to do some things we didn't do, and, uh, eh, eh, that includes going to camp with future luminaries that later become guys, uh, eh, people like Debra Messing and that lawyer from Love Cruise who severed his own scrotum when he reached between Toni's legs and found a surprise, by cracky, uh, eh, eh, but look, again, in my world, those people didn't exist, and eh, I don't know, but, and sometimes this is just what you do, you, eh, eh, look, it's a lot tougher cultivating future guys at a card game in the Hotel Albert, for the love of God!

Dan was talking about his "reporting" of the Kerry Wood personal services contract from last year which 1) would have been improper under MLB rules and 2) Dan still cannot give any parameters of the contract
