It’s just a shame that wearing that mask couldn’t prevent Mac’s career from dying.

Just be nice to girls, Danny. That's the key. Always say they're great even when they're not. No jokes about them. Just praise them. Always praise them.

Seriously, I wonder if they will give Danny a new partner. Spiegel is the obvious answer. But Mitch's bosses might say "Fuck it". Let's save the damn money and make him go solo.

We now have 3 solo shows in the day part at the SCORE.

I think Danny would prefer being solo anyway. He doesn't want a partner. More money for him potentially on his next contract if he gets the ratings.

How long did Parkins spend on Mac? What else did he say?

If he is the face of the station.....the captain of the ship.....it's already screwed up.

One interesting thing is just how much Bernstein is an obscure non-factor right now. Not that he cares, but he's irrelevant in the big picture at the station.

I don't have a problem with his Mac send off. It was a little harsh to call him his drunk uncle, considering the context, but I think they are friends. Friends sometimes do that to each other.

It's not Danny's station.

North once owned it. Bernstein once owned it. Mac was actually equal to North during the early days.

It's nobody's now.

North and Bernstein were unique when they owned it.

You can't do that anymore. Everybody now will be the same. It's just the way life is in media now.

I was a day-one guy and have been growing more disillusioned over time, but I’m done with the station now.

As if the initial overreaction and quick dismissal wasn’t enough, in short order we had such station luminaries as Leery, Zawaski, and Parkins shamelessly and stupidly trying to score SJW points, and stabbing their now ex-coworker in the back, knowing there’d be no immediate and direct reprisal from Mac himself. What absolute spineless pussies.

For Parkins to break bad on Mac out of the gate is especially galling. There’s a special working relationship of some sort there, if only as day-to-day (maybe a couple times a week) partners. I didn’t like Parkins initially. As a non-North Shore Loyola Academy guy, I think I had him properly sniffed out immediately, but was willing to give him a chance. Turns out I was right. Opportunistic, no-loyalty weasel, in no small part a product of upbringing. Though I guess sometimes you just lay a turd and produce an actual shitbag through little fault of your own.

Jay-Z and Maxim Boy are another story. Who asked for their ten cents? In what alternative universe do they live that they think people are itching to hear them condemn this tweet most foul? The fact they chimed in at all tells you how stupid and short-sighted they are. Those responses are no-win. Anyone who dumbassedly nods their head with them already is on the team. Morons.

Bernstein was smart to STFU. But he knows he has to; Boobgate 2.0 is lurking. He knows screenshots of the tweet are out and about. And I also think he very begrudgingly likes and respects Mac, though he doesn’t know how to deal with those troubling feelings. It’s probably harder for him to come to grips with that realization than it would be if he were gay, which he probably wishes he were, if only for social capital. Anyway, I’m sure he’ll let things die down, then take veiled shots at Mac down the road.

What really is in it for me at this point? I can change listening habits, and really, any habit, except for drinking. Actually, not true; I can drink different things. Things won’t change there anytime soon. There’s no reason to think they will

Can you imagine being an on-air guy and having to work with those twats? I can’t even listen to them at this point.

I'm sure you learned to sniff out other dudes quickly at your all boys school, cake eater.

Go Wolfpack!

Welcome to the board.

I listened to Parkins’ opening comments. It seemed to me that he wanted to say the punishment was too great. He alluded to not being able to say certain things on the air. Reading between the lines, I think he felt a suspension was more appropriate.

But the rest of his chatter was the usual PC bullshit.

That was my take. Parkins wasn't bad to him. I think it was a little strong to say "people you love do things you hate". Mac didn't commit some heinous crime. This isn't your finding out some deep dark secret about your favorite uncle.
