Most sports talk on there is national, and rarely do any of the 5 teams do anything to spark national talk. Plus I listen opie and anthony, Ron and fez, and pearl jam radio. Can't help a lot on this. Sorry.

No worries. I've been all about the comedy channels lately.

Possibly because they consistently piss all over w&s in ratings every day, every week, every year.

Terry is absolutely hilarious. He makes me literally lol every day.


I find myself saying " bycracky" to myself at least 5 -10 times a day... usually accompyied by the horn sound bite.

There is no matching the B & B sound board. My favorite is "Eighty three."

Matt Abbattacola is hilarious too. I love his dry sarcasm.
He is ok in doses but I tend to pass more when he is hosting. Too whiny and too wrong. Goff was a better sub IMO.

lol like I said, used to be a huge waddle Silvy fan, still like them. But boers n Bernstein are friggin hysterical. If I want legit Bears info n talk I tune into JD w W S, but for general laughs and all that, it's been boers n Bernstein.

Mick do you know when mike from Milwaukee calls. Is it just random? I lost my shit when I first heard that guy call, listened to it on YouTube. My buddy doesn't like sports radio n thought he was hysterical. Any other legendary callers? Mike from Milwaukee....lolz

Abbatacola is the producer. He does sub in occasionally but his every day job is the producer of the B&B show, and that's the context I was referring to when I said he's hilarious.

Mike is hilarious for sure. It's pretty much a crap shoot when he's going to call in though. Sometimes he's on every week for a while, then it can go several weeks without anyone hearing from him. There are some other good ones; Gary from Evanston was a regular on Who ya Crappin' and was always great. They did a really nice tribute for him when he passed away last year. Frank from Oak Park is more of a Hub/football caller, but he's always interesting.

I know MA is the producer and I like him on the doses a producer provides

I don't like him when he gets to host. With Goff gone he seems to have moved up the batting order.

Waddle and Silvy. I really Spiegal on the Mac And Speigs show though. He may be my favorite sports guy.

To each their own but I think Spiegal is absolutely awful. B & B are only tolerable in small doses. They are obnoxious and stubbornly stick to stupid opinions even when the evidence points to the contrary. Waddle and Silvy are probably the best show but it is too goofy sometimes.

Agreed. I think there is a reason Abbattacola never got a regular hosting gig.

Ratings are important for business but no evidence of quality. The Wire got poor ratings for example and it is the best TV show of ALL TIME. The Pro Bowl on the other hand does very well.

Sometimes I wonder if they are just trolling or really that simple minded. It dawned on me the other day that they regularly make the sort of arguments that get eaten up on a MB but can get away with it by screening callers and/or yelling at people. I like them and podcast most shows, skipping as I see fit.

I think the Wire is totally overrated (I've seen every episode but never got the acclaim beyond maybe the 4th season) but I agree with the logic behind your argument. I also think you summed up B&B perfectly.

I was answering the person who wondered how B&B keep their jobs.

B and B were on the radio actually surprised that someone gave McCown a contract. For the supposedly smart guys that is one of the stupidest opinions I've heard them express. On what planet did they think a guy with 5 starts and that much excellent game tape was coming back to Chicago for the table scraps? I expect that sort of naïveté from fans who don't want to deal with reality but these guys are supposed to be smart and plugged in.
