We are about three days into Mac's Score gig and it is remarkable how different (as in better) the show sounds and feels. Jurko and Harry were a 600 lb of fat, sweat, and sh* that dragged the ESPN version down for, what was it, seven (?) long years. In the past I expressed dipleasure (on this board) about Mac's overprogramming and overscripting, about how contrived every statement sounded on his old show, making an overall 6th listening option behind B&B, Roe, GN, 780, or whatever was on the Loop. I feel like it won't be a stretch to suggest that all the overscripting and stupidity was a way to camouflage the shortcomings of Messrs. Jurkovich and Tinywitz.

I don't know how the financial arrangements of Mac's current and former deal compare and I don't care since from my strictly consumerist stanpoint, so far, I like what I hear.

And just heard a Good Dolphin reference.

I thought no swearing was allowed on terrestrial radio.

Yes, this appears to be a much better product via attrition.
Harry was a great guy, don't get me wrong. Met him on several occations and loved hanging with him.
But I can't spend every day listening to the guy. He makes me crazy. And honestly, he brought down the celing on the show.
Jurk was also a real nice guy, but a sleepy guy, and sleepy doesn't translate well on the window.

I am a big Danny Mac fan...but I still don't understand why Mac thinks that Spiegel is the best partner for him. Spiegel adds nothing to the show, in my opinion. He's not WSCR timber...at all. I would rather hear Goff or Jurko with Mac.

Meatpants gave Good Jim credit for him getting back to Chicago.

Credit don't feed the kids, chicago!

I would rather hear Goff or Jurko with Mac.

Three days of Mac and I'm hooked. This is a far better listen than MJH was; and while I still flip over to hear Silvy/Waddle, I'm finding myself not doing so that much anymore. Meatpants I can tell will annoy me from time to time; but at least it isn't TWO guys when it was Jurko and Harry (who should of been let go with the rest of the Kevin Matthews show.)

Keep it up Mac and Meatpants!!!

Frontman, Harry wasn't on "The Kevin Matthews Show" that much when ESPN Radio was known as AM 1000 in the mid to late '90s. In fact, when Kev joined the former 105.9 WCKG after the former 94.7 The ZONE let him go, Harry was nowhere to be found...
