Should be interesting to hear how deep they delve into the switch.

maybe zaidman got another offer and this was the score's way of justifying a bump in pay to ZZ? maybe grotes only took an "ego" hit and not a hit in the wallet? as larry and dan can attest, the bears beat is REALLY.IMPORTANT.WORK too

If Zach gets another offer, you let him take it.

Grote already talked to the paper about the switch. It clearly read like he was disappointed and shocked. Why wouldn't he talk about it on the air? Maybe expound a little bit more.

Granted, he'll never admit that Pat Hughes pushed him out. But he absolutely believes it.

Please stop with the notion that this was a Zaidman power play. Like I've said, you can't pull a power play when you have no power. Zack was just chosen as the replacement because Mitch knew Pat would be comfortable with a boring broadcaster type with no personality. Somebody that wouldn't try to outshine Pat.

Pat Hughes has power. He made the play.

Zack was only chosen because Pat wanted Grote out. And they had to get somebody.

I literally laughed out loud when, in talking about Corey Crawford, Bernstein said "I have to be careful how I say this..."

It was rather anti-climactic as he went on to say that the Blackhawks have been very quiet about Crawford's upper body injury and concluded with "Something is going on, but I don't know what it is." and then threw out blah, blah, blah, "HIPPA Laws."

So, he starts with "I have to be careful how I say this..." and concludes with "Something is going on, but I don't know what it is."

:lol: He's such a fraud.

Is Bernstein trying to say that Crawford has a STD?

Grote sounds great.

They should put Goff out to pasture and move him into Boers' old locker.

Why do all the whites at the SCORE choose to bank their MLK holiday? Goff and Larry always take MLK day off. Says about the god damn SCORE whites.

Everyone knows he is in some sort of rehab.

It really is a HUGE demotion. Being a part of 162 Cubs games is a big deal. Now he's on the bears beat. Yeah, he'll be on the sideline guy for 16 Bears games reporting on ankle sprains and concussions. The rest of the week he's at Halas Hall interviewing players and coaches that say nothing. Bears are big. But his job isn't compared to the Cubs job.

Grote was on Mac's podcast on Friday. From how he was talking, he clearly views it as a demotion but it saying all the right things. Unless there's a corresponding DeCastro move that's waiting for somebody else to get axed, and they're sticking Grote on the Bears beat to give him a mostly paid vacation.

Mac, Parkins, and Grote as a three-man weave from 2-6?

Grote has legitimate on-air talent. Was a pleasant listen with some laugh out loud moments and no hyperbole beyond the Crawford minute. I started listening again with all the Bears stuff. I've yet to make it through a full show until today.

It's amazing how Bernstein can be tamed if you pair him with the right guy. His suck is less oppressive. Goff is not the right guy. I liked him as a producer where he would chime in occasionally but that seems like a lifetime ago. How management doesn't see this is kind of frightening. It screams of a diversity hire. But these are the same people who cling to massively flawed ways of rating their listenership. Out of all the people I know personally who once listened religiously to the shows, they dont anymore.

No matter who subs for Goff, it's just nice to hear actual calm conversation between the hosts. Not the screaming, laughing and interrupting that we get with Goff.

Agreed. The quality of Bernstein we get is greatly dependent on his partner. There have been many times over the years when he had a sub for Boers that the show was just unlistenable due to pairings with Holmes, Matty, or Rongey. Just too much grab ass or comic book bullshit. Put Bernstein with a mature host and you get excellent sports talk. Put him with Herron, Rozner, or Rosenbloom and you get a quality show.

Jason really has replaced Terry in the sense that he gives Dan like seven different fill-in hosts.

Funny how no one ever sees Bernstein or Sirrott as the hire of a friend's kid that they were.

Maybe because MANY don't know this story. Perhaps you could enlighten us?

Juddly was the easy one, with Uncle Bob a made guy on both radio and TV. Throw him a bone and make him a producer on the HFC, somebody had to do it and Jim Modelski was unavailable.

Bernstein, I know nothing about.

I never realized Judd and Bob Sirott were related, even as it sat there in plain sight. The Score was a project when Judd started. If producer is a shit job today, imagine being a producer with no security that the company will exist beyond a month and no equipment on which to produce. That was a below entry level position, even if he had help getting it.

The Bernstein tentacles are very long (as opposed to the testicles which are very short). He would have been able to call in some favors in whatever field he chose. However, those minor league teams had to be creaming their jeans when they saw Duke on a resume

I disagree. One thing I always liked about Dan was the fact that he worked a lot of jobs working his way up to where he is today. Did he get Dad's help on some of them? Probably but he still had to do them. It is also why I am sad about what he has become today way up on his pedestal.
