Terry Boers
Definition
Terry Boers (1950–2026) was a legendary Chicago sports radio personality and journalist, best known for co-hosting the iconic 'Boers & Bernstein' afternoon drive-time show on 670 The Score (WSCR) from 1999 to 2017, where his sharp wit and unfiltered takes on Bears, Bulls, Cubs, and Sox made him a Windy City staple.
A pioneering voice in Chicago sports talk radio since The Score's launch in 1992, Boers blended encyclopedic knowledge with biting humor, influencing generations of fans and broadcasters before retiring due to health issues.
