Wait, I don’t get it. Why was that guy so super offended by being called by his literal last name?

Was going to post exactly this... he says "you don't know me" to call his by his last name, but "Bernsy" is acceptable? Wtf?

It's like he pre-meditated saying that no matter what came out of his mouth. Like he was expecting him to call him "Bernsy" but got the script flipped on him and it was too late.

He just felt like the guy was dissing him, perhaps wrongly, but this is so over the top for what may be a minor misunderstanding or even if it was what Bernstein thought it was. Huge BFD for me.

I don't know what's funnier - A guy getting worked up over someone calling him by his last name, or someone else getting worked up over a guy getting worked up over someone calling him by his last name.

I don’t think people are getting worked up it’s just that generally people dislike douchebags and Bernstein comes off as a crotchety douche…he’s an easy target

Because the other guy is from Barstool Sports. Bernstein hates Barstool Sports, because they're like a bunch of frat bros, and Bernstein thinks he's an intellectual or some shit. They're all dipshits.

I’m not that familiar with barstool or Bernstein, but by all accounts the dude he chastised for calling him Bernstein is a good dude and wasn’t disrespectful at all….so if you’re an ass to someone who’s basically a guest on your show just because you don’t like the company they work for….that makes you an extremely petty douchebag in my book

I strongly dislike Barstool Sports, but Bernstein throwing a bitchfit about someone calling him by his last name is strange.

I'm guessing - and it's only that - Dan has experienced people saying his last name in such a way that he perceives as anti-semitic**. He definitely doesn't care for Barstool, and probably equated Barstool Eddie with some of the racism that can be seen from Barstool (who toe the line) and their followers (some of whom don't care if they leap over the line).
Now, I do not follow Barstool outside of Big Cat and PFC (who I do think are really good at what they do), but from what I gather, Barstool Eddie is a well liked individual and not the typical Barstool personality. Dan's issue here is that he doesn't want to separate Eddie the guy, from Barstool. Maybe it's a "the company you keep" type thing, whatever. I think being able to separate is the more mature thing.
As for Portnoy, this is an extreme overreaction. This isn't Boers and Bernstein Dan. He's not what he once was.
** I understand that you (not @Adipost, but the global "you") don't think saying his last name can come off as anti-semitic but none of us get to tell a person how to feel.

I have not even heard of Barstool Sports. What do they do to get so much hate? Be specific.

The problem, at least from others I’ve heard that actually watch the show, is that plenty of people have called him Bernstein without the same reaction. Pretty much however you wanna slice it, it’s an extremely poor and very unprofessional look from him.

Yeah, I'm not disagreeing that it was an extreme overreaction.

Listening to 670 is like listening to your meatball brother in law talk about footbawww.
Listening to 1000 is like listening to your milquetoast grandfather talk about football.
Posting on CCS is like pissing yourself while getting hit by a car.

Yeah but Portnoy was not part of the interview, Is Eddie an asshole as well? Only one I know from Barstool is Bigcat and he is amusing whenever they have him on ESPN, but other then that dont really pay attention to barstool at all.Idk man, I’m unfortunately on twitter and Portnoy is a POS on there, sure he is in real life too but
But having a beef with Portnoy and taking it out on Eddie makes about as much sense as having a beef with Bernstein and being rude to Laurence Holmes instead.
Bernstein looks like a complete idiot either way getting mad about someone using your last name..

In no way am I defending Bernstein, but how the **** could anyone in their right mind listen to Portnoy? What an intolerable dickwad.
