At what point was Mac referenced?

Again, you're apparently having discussions with yourself and then eventually at some point making them public and commenting on them halfway through while the rest of us have missed most of it because we're not you or able to hear your thoughts (thank the maker).

I tuned in to this late this afternoon. Some caller just now was saying

-'That name you mentioned yesterday, I looked up some info on her,...but I never really considered her or that network to be credible...'

Who were they talking about?

Look, sure many of us "perform" in front of many people. I give sales presentations to large groups of people, sometimes 100 to 200. Obviously merely asking the questions that a sideline reporter does is fairly simple.
My problem with the tone of this discussion is that many here somehow think that this is Erin Andrews fault because "she sells sex". I have news for you, I see more sex being sold on my kids High School campus than I do by Erin. What the fuck do you want her to wear, Amish dresses? Should we blame a Women for dressing nice & looking good?
I hope like hell that they catch the creep who rigged her Hotel room with the peephole.

For the record, here are my 3 keys to a good presentation:

1. Preperation.
2. Dont eat a big meal before.
3. Take a good dump before.

I actually think that this was one of Scorehead's better posts.


As to whether or not this was good/great radio this morning, I don't know. I know all about really bad radio. :wink: It was compelling radio for certain. It was very Howard Sternish (wanting to hear what happens next). I did NOT punch the button at all.

Im more shocked and appalled that Mac admitted to seeing Slappy naked several times over the years. Friendship is one thing but come on and the excitement in Dan's voice creeped me out even more. :ncool:

yeah, the backpeddling is pretty embarrassing. Mac needs to listen to the podcast he keeps referencing because he most definitely said EVERYTHING Spiegel is accusing him of saying.

If Speigs keeps this shit up,he will be sitting next to the "Webio Gang" in the unemployment line. It is the Mac Show,he should just giggle & say "yeah" a lot.

Scorehead the 2 people were Julie Chen and Les Moonves. On today's thing, I wish they would have talked to Kerry Sayers on this to see what she said.

Pretty good show but I don't know if Dan's admittance to whipping out the one hitter and sharing some tokes with Bears players is a good move as Im sure the next time he's speeding in the Chicago/ Central Canada area the police would be more likely to do more than just write a ticket. :?


I don't think he is talking about any recent Bears. He means players from other eras. And besides, after today's show, Mac sounds like they will need a cavity search to locate his stash.

Mac said he wanted Meatpants for stuff like this. He knows he isn't afraid to challenge him and it showed today. The show sounded great today...

Did Mac mention what he had to let Martina Navratolava do to him to break a big story for Coppock On Sports back in the day?

Ivan,
Enjoyed show/enjoyed hosts firing back & forth....just don't take it too far.
Mac is Meatpants best friend ever right now,no reason to make his face red by showing him up onair.

I didn't see it as "showing him up" at all. Mac made a bold statement. Be prepared to answer questions and defend your stance. There was absolutely nothing wrong with what Meatpants did. I wish every host in town would do the same when they are on the air with someone who likes to make bold statements. Don't just agree with someone to move the show along. Don't disagree only to cause a fake argument. And don't back down if someone tries to backpeddle.

Meatpants did everything right in regard to his debate with Mac. I don't think Mac has any problem with it. Or he shouldn't. It doesn't need to happen all the time, but it must happen if there are opposing views...

I'd would agree with ya but they kept her in the kitchen today. She's been a mouth full of marbles at times during her updates but a womens touch seems to be what the show needed today as the naked guy thing was a bit burrito.

I don't know what the hell you're trying to say, but I think I agree anyway.

Meats biggest concern is the journalistic integrity... and Mac is admitting reporters should do what it takes to get the story. Meat pointed out that if a reporter is sleeping with a ballplayer, wouldn't that reporter be more likely to report on them in a positive light?


I guess this means Bruce Levine must be having sex with Jim Hendry.


LMAO I thought of Bruce Levine right away too.

thanks for the link, good to see Ms. Andrews can always get a nice career in landscaping if the reporting thing doesn't work out.

"This next lady has been dominating womens tennis in more ways than one for quite some time. She is the big dike candy mountain that all others are measured against. Underneath the wire frame rims lies a tigress in the weeds. She will serve and volley you right up to climax, as long as you have an Adidas womens tennis skirt on your candy jar. It's always game, set and match with my next guest, Martina Navrailova.

I hope you don't mean Elmhurst Steve, that wasn't even close to being an attack. I might have missed something though as my boss has been by my desk a lot during that convo.


He definitely had an opposing view, as I called up to back up Meatpants, but there was no attack. He mearly stated that his stance was different, that he believed that whatever somone can do to further themselves in their chosen profession, was okay by him-including a woman using sex to get interviews, etc... I tried to explain why I saw things different, in that IF a woman such as Erin used sex to get an interview with an athlete it is the same as a person in business offering an under the table payoff to get a job. The transaction involves someone offering something in order to get what they want and in business, these kinds of practices are illegal. There are also moral issues, but putting them aside, the practice offers an unfair advantage to the person offering up the ya ha good times.

In any case, I liked Matt's attitude better today. he was willing to challenge Mac, not just a ALS member. It made for better radio.

I loved the part when mac finally realized how stupid he sounded, but he put his head down and pressed on in defending his position anyway. It was later on in the show around 12:30-1:00, I got back in the car and heard Spiegel asking him if he thought it was ok for businesses to bribe their way to bids and mac realized how wrong that was, but also that to admit as such would be to admit he was wrong about the whole thing so he said yeah, he thought that was ok.

Then for some unknown reason he offered up the weird, awkward statement that he's only about two things, "ratings and gettin paid".


The whole show was really awkward and confrontational between mac and spiegel...and that's what made it great.


I think they finally found something that works.

mac, say something really stupid and/or offensive tomorrow morning!

This entire bit today was contrived. It was obvious to me that Mac heard the negative feedback & read this board & told Matt that he needed to go after Mac today.
I dont buy any of it. This whole thing was scripted, rehearsed & set up.
