Would you like to play a fun game? I bet you would like to play a fun game. It's called: "Who said it? an adult male paid to talk in public, or the Bruce Willis-voiced baby from Look Who's Talking?"You in? Excellent. Here's the first one."I have no rooting interest in her work, but enjoy her giant boobs."OK, now don't overthink this one. There are no trick questions in this game, and it's all very straightforward. Either an adult male paid to talk in public said this, or the Baby from Look Who's Talking did. And this isn't a gotcha thing where it was actually Bruce Willis in some other movie or anything. I cannot stress enough that this phrase was literally said by either an adult male paid to talk in public, or the actual baby in Look Who's Talking.

While you think about that one, let's throw another one out there, maybe it will help clear things up. OK, ready?"Boobs."Same deal. One of two people said it—adult male, Look Who's Talking baby. It doesn't necessarily have to be the same person each time, but it could be the same person. OK, last one."Boobs?"At this point, the answers should be pretty obvious. Whoever said those things has given himself away with two key bits of information. First, the person has the attention span of a child and apparently can't focus on anything. Second, the source of this lack of focus is "boobs," and sometimes "giant boobs." So your instinct is correct, a baby very clearly said these things. But then what's up with that headline?Oh, as it turns out, this game was kind of rigged, because Dan Bernstein is an adult male who is paid to talk in public but he also happens to be a child. He actually said those things about Aiyana Cristal, a colleague working as a reporter and anchor for CSN Chicago. And he did it on Twitter, for all the world to see. As competitive a field as sports media can be, it's amazing to see how someone so stupid and arrogant and just plain wrong still manages to stick around.Can you imagine something like this going on in your workplace? "Hey man, Jackie has really been slacking with her reports lately." "DON'T CARE. BOOBS." Then again, there is nothing subtle about radio hacks. Maybe that's a good thing, so they're easier to spot, I honestly don't know. Either way, this is the sports media landscape 2015: men look like men, and still sound like Bruce Willis doing voiceover for a baby.Image of young Dan Bernstein broing out after Duke's win over Kentucky via old Dan Bernstein
