This newbie unfortunately must ask:

Who is MJH?

Yup.

Hopefully Mac can find that type of radio show again because it just didn't work with Spiegel.

I wonder what he thinks of them though. He probably thinks they are dipshits but isn't comfortable enough to say so. He's the most likable.

And then I got my ass kicked for using the phrase nom de plume.

I don't remember that. I remember Grid, WR, and doug, so I guess that makes you like Elmhurst Steve. :lol:

I just heard this person on the Game (NPR pledge season). Some clever banter regarding cashews and a heartfelt thank you from Harry. It was a pleasant moment.

Danny B giving ES a shoutout for quality banter...

of course Harry talking to anyone outside of his co-hosts is considered witty!

I have a passion for Mac but I am not defined by him.

THE GAME better snap him up before they are forced to shut down their operations. Mac could bring them up to a Mr. Dorfman 0.2.

Nope. The good 'ol days were The Monsters of the Midday, North & Jiggs...& The Heavy Fuel Crew, Mac & Boers. The Wise Guys with North & Buffone were great as well.

MJH were alright but Harry is just so awful that I could never bring myself to really embrace it.

B&B Prime > MJH Prime

Never heard MJH but I can't imagine anything with Harry being good. Spiegel levels of bad.

The fact that the show was OK despite Harry shows how much Mac and Jurko were in the zone.

MJH was good, but as already mentioned, it had Harry. IMO, this was the beginning of the end. Some good years, but they lost it before Mac left ESPN.
