Best Sports Talk Team
By Ted Cox
Boers & Bernstein
1-6 PM weekdays
WSCR (670 AM)
Terry Boers & Dan Bernstein have been teamed together at the Score for more than ten years, giving them the longest-running sports talk show in the market. It�s also the best, although their unique twist on the format is often hated when it�s not simply misunderstood. Like David Letterman, Boers and Bernstein do a show that�s antithetical to the very genre they supposedly represent. They�re disdainful of callers and colleagues in equal measure and affect stoopidity when Bernsy (nicknamed �the Professor� as a Bulls beat reporter) isn�t brandishing his brainy Duke credentials and Boers isn�t bulldozing someone with pure bluster. For all that, they entertain and inform. Their show can�t last much longer, but for now it remains on top. I also have to throw Dan McNeil some credit for teaming so well with Matt Spiegel in his return to the Score as midday host�and Tom Waddle of WMVP (1000 AM) might just be the best one-man sports-talk team host in town. � Ted Cox
