This is a somber day in the score.

It's a difficult one.

Dark times at the score.

We lost a legend.

We lost a score original.

A Titan in Chicago's Sports Talk Radio.

Terry Boers passed away yesterday at 75.

His comedic and sports sensibilities defined this station's voice in a way that still resonates and makes it what it is today.

People, very nice, you know, condolences, sorry for your loss. It's all of our losses. It's listeners,

current people we work with, former people. He was the last original score member who was on the air here.

In the afternoon, Dan McNeil with Brian Hanley and Terry Boers.

Chicago's number one sports team is on WSCR, the score.

Fitting because he was the best.

The most popular man in the history of this radio station, Terry Boers. I don't know if I'm not one of the most likely guy. Anyway, I met you in the most popular guy in my own house. I was Terry's assignment editor at the Sun Times. I always wanted to be Terry Bors. You and I, being former sports writers, Terry was in Chicago, one of the first to pave the path there. You know, you stand on the shoulders of giants. When it comes to Boers and Bernstein, I said this before, I'll say it again. They were my inspiration's inspiration. Very pleasant. Good afternoon. We're going to make several promises for the next four and a half dollars or thereabouts. We're going to do this. We can keep you informed to entertain.

Perhaps I have a lavatory too long the way, a lot of precision revving, and someone's back door. This is Ray Hill's best combination of divisive, outrageous, appalling, objectionable, offensive, and occasionally in-hot-bettable. I'm Terry Boards. Every single day, I couldn't wait for this show to start. Every damn day for five hours, for 17 years,

no matter what time. And it's because I got to work with you. To listen to all the people who have weighed in since his passing. And it gives you the indication of how much he meant beyond the

station itself. Terry, having been at the score for 25 years, he was a part of everybody's life. Terry's always been my baseball whisperer in a sports station filled with White Sox fans over the years. You always find Terry, and he would understand me, you know. I do. He would sit me down and go, Lynn, it's going to be okay. Not today. Maybe not next year. Maybe not in five years. But it's going to be okay. and it's really been okay not today maybe not next year maybe not in five years

but it's gonna be okay and it's really been okay knowing you all these years for all

of us in the hallways where if you saw any of us having a bad day or struggling

through something or dealing with the day in and day out problems that go on at a

radio station you're always the guy that'll stop us,

grab us. Hey, how you doing? Put your arm around us. Walk us down the hall. Sit there,
