Has always been solid reporting. Don't agree with all of his opinions but he doesn't report bullshit.

Agreed. His podcast is really good. I only have time for unfiltered but need to look deeper into the library at 312.

Bernstein was entertaining when on WSCR. I too did not agree with some/many things he said but at least he was entertaining and stood firm on his takes. However, he seemed to be losing his mind the last few years with the SCORE.......Now with his podcast he just rants and no one really cares. I genuinely can't identify anyone on radio now that I enjoy listening too.

My favorite part of the Schriffen stuff is people online accusing me of wanting to see this man lose his job when the same people are in my mentions and DM's wanting Colson Montgomery fired.

Dan doesn't interact on social media anymore and had a legit mental health crisis essentially. This is the right platform for him now.

I seriously question the mental sanity of any person who listens to Dan Bernstein in 2026.

I know this was a joke, but also I hate that I have to stop and wonder if it is really is a joke...

Regarding Schriffen, I do remember that you weren’t quick to judge him and gave him a shot. It wasn’t until more recently that you were saying he was simply bad at the job and you thought he was going to be replaced, which ended up happening.

Regarding Bernstein, did he really have a mental health crisis? Or is it simply what he used as an excuse for his own stupidity, ego, and rage? He went ballistic on a random Twitterer and threatened to dox his family/children just because the guy was trolling him and inferring that he didn’t follow Illinois fishing rules. He doesn’t interact on social media because his ego can’t handle it. He has always been a complete dick to many of his callers and to people on social media. It’s just like Steve Stone on Twitter. Stone stopped going on Twitter as much and responding to Sox fans because he was making a complete jackass of himself. I think the mental health crisis excuse is a load of BS.

Not everything in life is a syndrome or crisis. Some people just need to own up to their own asshole personalities. Both Bernstein and Stone are quite simply egotistical dickheads.

Mike Monaco wouldn't be bad either. The good news this time is it's almost certainly going to be an upgrade.

Very versatile, can do tennis basketball Little League WS etc.

A bit more by the book than Benetti, who has his distinctive corny dad jokes style.

Pretty sure he's too professional to lock into a good ol boys network team.

Lost all respect for him after the Patrick Kane situation. He would berate to no end anyone that even insinuated that the girl could be making the story up or overembellishing. Once it turned out to be a complete farce he never once apologized.

Then there were the instances with Aiyana Cristal and eventually the kid he was going after on Twitter that ultimately got him canned from the score. He just seems like a miserable guy in general that masquerades as a holier than thou person.

Don't need to rehash and I definitely don't want to change anyone's mind but he didn't go after kids. He made a comment about getting that poster's kids involved but that guy's kids are all adults. It was stupid and he deserves to be fired but it's not true that he was threatening children.

Threatened someone's family member who was a completely uninvolved party in the situation. He’s a total loser.

Did Dan know his children were adults when making that threat? I doubt it and he doesn't deserve the benefit of said doubt.

So it’s not a mental health thing, he just had major issues with rage, ego and a negative personality.

Glad you cleared that up.

Assholes can have all of those attributes without it being a “diagnosis”. It’s also a convenient excuse for all the other stupid things he has done in his career. That mental crisis must have also made him joke about Ron Santo being a double amputee (“stumps”) in 2005 and comment on Aiyana Cristal’s “giant boobs” in 2015.

The poor afflicted victim…

Pham thought Schriffen was acting like he was one of the players in the locker room and basically told him to get the f#$% out.

I listen to Bernstein’s podcast often. He does well with Abbatacola and the two are much better than those on Chicago sports radio now. Forward Progress and DBU are good listens.

Dan is a former reporter and I trust that he’s got sources and is doing reporting. I especially appreciate his coverage of the Bears stadium situation.

Yes, Dan fucked up with the Twitter troll but he owned up to it and publicly discussed what happened on radio and TV. People don’t like him were thrilled to see him fired. I was glad he got counseling and is in a better medium for him to work in his later years. 312 Sports also has Jason Goff who also has a fan base.
