Maybe that's why he fumbles so much.

I love that Leila keeps on calling last night's game, NBA. OMG, is that getting under Dan's skin. The idea that the NBA has multiple standards for what's a foul, oooh don't bring that up,

It's almost impossible to play pass defense against Brady, if you touch him you get a roughing the passer call, his WR's are allowed to run pick plays or push off with flags coming for defensive PI if the pass is incomplete, and the mysterious illegal contact call which is the ultimate bail out call for guys like Rodgers and Brady to keep failed drives alive. The NFL wants the franchise QB's to succeed and the league goes out its way to protect and coddle them, one of the reasons you want to get your QB to be recognized at that level, it gives you at least 2-3 free first downs per game in key situations.

Had to drive to Indy today, figured I would give Dan's show a listen. I heard it all, from transition with Mully & Haugh (where Dan was beautifully cornered by Haugh given Dan's contention that Aldrich's name should be left on the cup as reminder to feel shame, and his preening on twitter about how his stupid kid covered up the Blackhawks logo on his key chain and how that was Actually Great) to transition with LoHo. This show sucks beyond belief.

First, Leila sounds like garbage. Her EQ is terrible compared to Dan's and there's absolutely no punch to her sound. And I don't know what's causing it, but she constantly has this "gum mouth" sound that makes it sound as though she's got cotton balls in her mouth or she's chewing on a big piece of gum while trying to speak.

Second, their chemistry is STILL terrible, and this show has been going on how long? Today, multiple times while discussing the Bulls, Dan was pontificating about some super-basketbally point or another, and ended with that downward inflection common to radio hosts signaling that they have completed their sentence/thought, and it's the partner's turn to either keep the conversation going, do a read, throw to a break, whatever. Except instead of doing any of that, there were multiple-second pauses of completely dead air, then Leila went on about some almost completely unrelated tangent, like her feelings about the atmosphere of the game, at the conclusion of which she used the same inflection cue and Dan did the exact same multi-second pause that she did to him. Then, later, Dan made another x-and-o point about the game, and Leila gave it a few beats and went right back to the atmosphere angle. At multiple times throughout the show, on multiple topics, it sounded like there were just two people taking turns giving their sports thoughts to no one in particular.

Thirdly, like MANY of Dan's previous shows since B&B, the only time either host showed an ounce of passion was in doing Sexual Assault Radio, which came complete with a full read of a brooding email from Stonecutter! SJW Radio is alive and well.

Finally, Dan works way too stiff for Leila. She wasn't afraid to make a little fun of herself and talk about social media hijinks, she even turned a horribly boring story from Dan about not liking Hostess Cherry Pies anymore because, "maybe the cherries got too expensive" into a riff on how one could make their own cherry pie strudel type of deal. Dan's response (after trying multiple times to interject while Leila was riffing)? "Maybe YOU'RE the reason cherries are so expensive!"

I say this all to say that Leila isn't objectively bad, she's at least Just Fine as a host, could maybe be more if she doesn't leave for another TV gig, and she checks the right boxes. Dan's best years are obviously well behind him, and if you want to make Leila the future of middays on the station, fine, but these two cannot work together and create a cohesive, entertaining radio show.

sometimes the guest deflates all the positivity.

heard dan and L interview the bears' safety brisker and dan got all excited about the basketball player brisker, who disappeared off the globe in the 70's. dan excitedly asked him if the missing brisker is related to him. brisker said yes, he'd heard about him from family. dan got more excited and asked if the missing brisker is/was his uncle or great uncle. brisker didn't know the answer, said he'd have to ask mom.

total deflation.

Are you stoned or pissed off, or both, when you create these postings?

Did Bernstein say he was a fan? I doubt he even knew who Brisker was prior to a Wikipedia search...he likely wouldn't have been old enough to watch him play.

The future holds the possibility to be great or terrible, and since it has not yet occurred it remains simultaneously both.

Ahhh- the days of terrible training camp interviews with late round picks and street free agents. What is the success rate of those interviews? 1 in 4? No thank you. I think I'd prefer Clawmaster's grabass, homer call-in shows to that garbage. Actually, I'll just listen to Q101 instead.

Lots of random comments also about players who aren't vaccinated. Bernstein continues to call out healthy baseball players in their low 20's for not getting a shot. Even took a shot at Joe Rogan last week. Yet another topic where he says ignorant things and doesn't get challenged.

The vaccine clearly doesn't stop you from getting or spreading COVID. Why the fuck does he care of these athletes don't get the jab? It's more hive minded bullshit from the jagoff who thinks he's the smartest person in the room at all times.

yesterday, i heard bernsie say twice: "pete rose admitted to statutory rape". hmmm, rose admitted having sex with a girl/woman, whom he believed to be 16. i believe 16 was/is the age of consent in ohio.

yes, he's a creep and an aqua velva man, but he did not admit to statutory rape. he's an old, mediocre white male, let's try and say he directly indirectly implicated himself to committing statutory rape.

jeez.

yes, i would think so. ignorance of the law is no defense. i can't prove anything, but i do believe that rose knew the facts that he had to know in 70s.

bernsie is telling me that rose is guilty of something that he can't get charged for. ???

Bernstein, DiCaro, and their ilk are all scum for bringing this shit up. These allegations were well known in the early 70s. If you're going to bring a case, then BRING A FUCKING CASE!!! Otherwise, if it's 50 years later, shut the fuck up.

I'm not sure what you mean by "well known". The accusations were 1st made public and covered by national media in 2017.
