After seeing that Mike Hall didn't finish his career with the Worldwide Leader, Aaron Levine probably went into the shower and pulled a Vito Jr.

boers and bernstein remind me of the high school teachers I had who clearly hated children/adolescents. they have become so grumpy and cynical that listening to their show is now painful.

bernstein thinks he should be bob costas, he's a dookie who isn't as smart as he thinks he is and as such has become very bitter about doing a "silly" sports radio show. he's rubbed off on boers, who is a curmudgeon who could use a change of scenery because he's been doing chicago sports forever.

@Yinka Double Dare:

7-9 PM is currently open. Steve Rosenbloom was offered it, according to Teddy Greenstein of the Trib, but hasn't made up his mind.

I liked when Silverman and DeFalco had 9-noon. A little Run and Shoot never hurt anyone.

I agree about liking how B&B don't put up with the typical moronic bullshit. I like MJH too, so it's a bummer they're on at the same time.

@Yinka Double Dare: Agreed - Boers and Bernstein is about the only sports talk show that I'll listen too anymore during the week. Pretty much everyone else that I like (Lawrence Holmes, J. Hood, etc.) have been exiled to night time or weekend time slots when I don't have the radio on. Mike North is simply excrutiating.

@WheelOfOrton: Your name on here makes that kind of obvious -- that was a pretty amusing running joke on there. Heck, they still trot it out every so often.

My dad doesn't like B&B because they treat their callers like shit. I actually LIKE B&B because they treat their dumb callers like shit and try to force them to actually give good reasons for their dumbass comments, and make fun of the usual dumb sport fans with segments like, well, "Wheel of Orton". Boers isn't terribly bright but he isn't a moron either, but Bernstein is obviously smart and doesn't let anything slide. His smarts have rubbed off on Boers over time.

@Encouraging Referee Pittman: Is 7-9 open? I thought they aired the Mike and Mike show in the mornings, and they only had local replacements for Schrutebag?

Anything is better than Schrutebag. Waddle and Silverman is likely to be a good replacement show. I'd certainly rather listen to them from 9-10 instead of blowhard Mike North (I don't need GOP political crap, especially from North, thrown in with my sports talk), if not the entire 9-12 show.

@PeteJayhawk: Fair enough. Seriously, that was one of the highlights of The Mississippi Flood Plain 2006: The Upper Midwest Trip was listening to Farmio call Sox games and either be disgruntled or completely nonplussed and you weren't sure which was going to happen.

@PeteJayhawk: The issue is, things like Schwab, 2MD, Cheap Seats, Top Five Reasons, etc, they appeal to sports fans, but they anger many sports fans who think that if there can be a game on, there should be a game on. What ESPN should have done was created an EOE network, that way, it wasn't taking time away on the Mothership or on Classic. (By the way, is anyone watching the billiards, poker, and bull riding that ESPN Classic seems to be showing in spades lately?)

Remember, his co-host Rosie (Sal Rosenblum) was no peach either. Let's hope they give the morning 9-12 slot to Jonathon Hood, an actual, honest to god, decent announcer with a sense of humor, great presence and something I think is surely missing from almost all of sports talk radio...blackness.
