''"They’ve done their best to keep the sports world on its toes."''

!!Boers And Bernstein contains examples of:

* NoodleIncident: The show has gone on for so long that the hosts will occasionally make reference to things that have happened off the air, or long ago. Most of them they can't say on the radio. [[Administrivia/RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgment And won't be repeated here, just in case.]]

Sports talk radio tends to be a bit predictable, if you [[FridgeLogic stop and listen to it]]. You've got some [[TooDumbToLive really boneheadedly-stupid callers]], with some [[InsaneTrollLogic really bizzare theories about sports]].

The show is very much LoveItOrHateIt. [[{{Hatedom}} The people who hate the show and its hosts listen more.]] The shows that B&B critics like haven't been as successful.

* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Dan has a lot of these, if he disagrees with a caller's statement. For example, if a caller says that fighting in the [[IceHockey NHL]] brings about Team Unity, Momentum, and inevitable victory, Dan will ask the caller how a local hockey team succeeds if they don't fight. Or he'll point out that NHL playoff games are notorious for not including fighting. Generally speaking, the caller will then [[PrecisionFStrike swear or sputter]] and get kicked off the air.

* LongRunner: While not as long as some on that list, Boers and Bernstein has been on since 1999, which is a ''long'' time for a radio show.

* LoveItOrHateIt: The show is extremely controversial.

* UnfortunateImplications: Dan likes to point these out:
** He's not shy about reminding people that IceHockey is a "[[CaptainObvious Cold]] White Sport", whose fans tend to actively dislike (or outright ''hate'') a much more [[{{Basketball}} Warm, Brown Sport]]. Whenever he does this, you can count on at least one caller chiming in with "[[SomeOfMyBestFriendsAreX I'm not racist, I just hate how basketball is filled with tattooed thugs and gangbangers, not like hockey!"]]
** The show has had enough callers that have been a little bit anti-Semitic that he's able to pick up on it.
* VerbalTic: Whenever anyone says anything about facial hair (or even tangentially related to hair at all), Terry will exclaim a wheezy ''' BY CRACKY'''. [[NoodleIncident FCC regulations forbid him from explaining why on the radio]], [[RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgement And this editor isn't sure if he should here.]]

Boers And Bernstein, on the [[TheWindyCity Chicago]] radio station The Score (WSCR 670AM), is not that kind of show. '''At all'''.

* LastNameBasis: Callers who don't like the show will tend to refer to the hosts as Boers or Bernstein. This is frequently because [[UnfortunateImplications Bernstein is a Jewish name]]. [[BeyondTheImpossible Which has been brought up by callers.]]
