Bernie out for Pre Season

Can't say I'm surprised here but he was one of my favorite parts of the preseason.. sad to see him go.

I like Bernie but he's trying to play the victim on this one. I don't deny what he's saying is partly true, but the guy was pretty unprofessional in his commentary and a drinking machine off the air. That's not someone even in the pre-season you want representening your brand. Easiest decision brass has had to make in a while if you ask me,
I do wish the guy well and hope he rebounds, but this wasn't the right fit.

And Solomon Wilcots is?

The greatest QB i ever got to cheer for.

I wrote to them and complained. I loved Bernie Kosar's brilliant takes - he sees things
like a lot of other people don't.
More boring blabber, pc correct and meaningless, is what I expect now.
Too bad. And it was only preseason games.
Forget listening to the radio with the TV sound turned down anymore.

ralph kiner for the mets and harry caray for the cubs were 2 of the biggest lushes on air and became legends because of it.

To both of you guys, it's just different times. When all that stuff happened last year with Bernie on the air, it's not as though it bothered me personally. I happened to be watching that live and my first thought was welp, he's likely going to see his walking papers. He pretty much forced the Browns' hand especially after the DUI. I don't live in the area so maybe he does this, but I feel like he'd be perfect for a more shock type radio podcast or something. He'd get a lot more freedom there and I'm sure people would tune in.

No joke. Replacing Bernie with a former Bungle and Shitsburgh player. Sad state of affairs.
-
Hanford Dixon wasn't available?
actually I fuck with Bernie on occasion but I like the guy and wish him well.
it sucks if a concussion is causing his slurred speech but it would suck worse if it were alcohol and he were unable to quit.

maybe he's doing a ben sanderson on himself.
i know if i lost everything and my daughter was doing porn i might consider doing the same thing.
but then i wouldn't be alive to watch the browns win the super bowl. i'll wait until then and make it a party no one will ever fuggin forget.

Bernie may be a blasphemous lush, but he is our blasphemous lush.... Gonna miss him. Always loved hearing his strange, weirdo takes during the preseason that somehow always made sense. Best of luck to you Bernie, you will always be a legend in this guys mind.

Sorry but your dead wrong...Theres nothing better they can replace him with...soon you will come to grips with that...his insight and his personality made preseason interesting..his analysis.drunk or sober was spot on...he can recognize things long before any sober person could....your just typical in the line of young kids that wants instant gratification your way...enjoy Solly Wilcock.

Firstly, for the love of God take some time to educate yourself on the various forms of "your". I know it's an internet forum but Jesus that makes you sound so uneducated.
To your point, what the hell are you even talking about? I said twice now I liked Bernie and it doesn't effect me personally at all. But I live in the real world and I'm saying it's not that hard to realize why he got canned. What does instant gratification have to do with anything? I'm geniunely confused. It's not like Bernie had a behind the scenes role in all this. A by most accounts drunk, preceived unprofessional who can hardly complete a sentence without slurring isn't going to represent your brand well no matter how much knowledge he has. I'll say it again: I wish the guy well and hopefully he can continue working in a role that's more suited for him.

Woah woah woah, look who's here...it's the grammar police! Who gives a gives a shit about the various forms of "your"?. Like you said this is an Internet forum, you should expect much worse--besides as long as one is able to convey his message to the point where others can understand him, then what does it really matter? If anything, you are making yourself look uneducated on life. If you knew anything about life, then you wouldn't care about minuscule spelling mishaps that came from one person on an Internet forum out of over 7 Billion People people in the world. Okay moving on... You say "I live in the real world"-- what the hell does that even mean? Everything and anything that contains consciousness or energy is real, so I'm pretty sure we ALL live in the real world lol. You seem to be rather egotistical my good man. Now about Bernie, he did not deserve to be canned. Yes, he slurs, but I believe he was the perfect representation of our "brand" or losing team that we have had for the past 15 years. Besides, did his slurring or drunkedness ever affect the validity of what came out of his mouth? I do not believe so. He may not be super professional but that's why he was announcing local pre-season games. This role was perfect for him and for the most-part, our fans. I think I speak for everyone when I say I'd much rather have Bernie or pretty much any other ex-Browns player announcing the preseason games over this ex-bungle, ex-squeeler , NFL pampered, pussy of a commentator Solomon Wilcots. I don't think you understand how much this is going to blow until the first browns preseason game airs. One of the main reasons I used to look forward to preseason was, because of Bernie's knowledgeable, honest, to-the-point style of announcing, that the majority of us came to love. Such a shame, I can whole-heartedly say-- this sucks..

To start we could easily have a conversation regarding what a figure of speech is, but that's not worth the time. How many times can I say something before it's actually read? I LIKE BERNIE KOSAR AND HIS COMMENTARY WAS ENJOYABLE THE FEW TIMES I LISTENED. But when you take off the Browns googles and look at this strictly from a personnel decision, it's pretty straightforward. I deal with this stuff every few months at my work and I assume you don't, but maybe. There's plenty of guys that come through my work that I'd love to grab a beer with and enjoyed talking to. But the fact of the matter was the people weren't right for the job. That doesn't mean they weren't knowledgeable or we would not have hired them in the first place. That's exactly the case with Bernie, and frankly I would have say yes to this move too. That doesn't mean he can't be a part of the organization or talk all things Browns somewhere else. I can't make these points any clearer so there's no use in arguing anymore about it.
We can agree about Wilcots though, I don't care for him at all.

I love it when this happens! A poster chastises another for incorrect spelling and then misspells himself! Ahahahah!!! Not hating on you or anything but what the hell is "Browns' googles"? Is that like a new search browser or something?

I want Bernie back. Fuck it if he drinks before or during the game. He is Bernie. Let him Slur, cuss and ridicule. Now they will bring some pussy politically correct tea drinker in.
