Don't get me wrong, i think that Mac's show is the best on the Score despite what people on here say about Meatpants. It seems as though the boys are hitting their stride with football season on the horizon. One thing i have noticed with the show is that they take very few calls, any reason why?? DO they want to save all of the meatballs for B & B?? :?:

That's a part of it, Vegas. Sox fans bashing Cubs fans... or the other way around.... "Why don't the Bears use the shotgun?" .... steroids. Seems like a lot of topics that mostly get the response of "keep it" are offered. And I haven't done a very good job of "directing" questions or debates. I need to do my.....

i think the time of the day is a part, too. most are workin' 9-1. and even if you're a slacker... so much easier and time efficient to snap off an e-mail or a text (or a wrister).

Radio Roulette would be a lot riskier, and possible a lot more entertaining on this show.

I think most of the callers (board members excluded for the most part) are slapping off something when they call - not sure what, though.

Draw your own conclusions....

Frank gets my vote ... tho' I'd raise it from 'possible' to 'probably'.

This statement is completely disingenuous.
Seems as though the fanboys (and girls) that hang on your every word
and post are perfectly willing & capable of calling in whether they are working or not.
Both the Hampton/Holmes Show and the Murph show took PLENTY of calls. 9-1, 10-2. What's the difference?
I think that the real reason you don't take as many calls is that you're too busy
enjoying the sound of your own voice to come up for air and let someone else talk about how awesome you are.

Oh, that's right, that's what your parrot "Spiegs" is for.

I realize my opinion won't be popular with some of the posters I respect
on this board, but I can't continue to abide what I feel is a grab-assy,
self-congratulating shtick disguising itself as a 4 hour radio talk show.
While I was never a MJH fan, the few times over the years that I listened, I thought
the reasons why I wasn't a fan had mostly to do with your former co-hosts. Now while I can't stand your current co-host either,
I think YOU are the problem I have with your show. You don't always have to be ON. The CONSTANT back-slapping
nicknamey, or even worse, LASTNAMEY routine, i.e. SPIEGS, SCOTTY PODS, TINY ONE, GOOD KID shit just irritates the shit out of me.
Do you even realize how many times you utter the word "SPIEGEL" just between 11-1 which is when I've listened?
Have "The Unaffordable One" count tomorrow. It's insane. And very annoying. You know who constantly refers to
people by their last name or nick name? FRAT BRAH DOUCHEBAGS, that's who. Grown men don't talk like this.
But I understand it's all part of the Mackey package. I'm not sold. I gave it a shot, but I'm done.
Your show is the sound of all the air being sucked out of the room and listening is not a constructive use of my time.
I'll take FM until 1:30 from here on out.

And, yes, I dropped out, too--a couple weeks ago. It's just a bad use of four hours of air time.

Hello Mac,
I'm coming from the otherside. Very seldom listened while you were on 'MVP,I do try to listen now,though. I do not like constant sports chatter. Too much of anything is not good. That is why I enjoy your show. Talking movies,TV & Pop culture is a good mix.

In regards to attacks on you & Mat,You know what Ricky Nelson said:


"Oh My GOD the fucking plane is going down!"

(NOTE to the younger crowd: If the above joke makes no sense,then you are not familiar with Rick's song Garden Party & the very famous line from that song.)

Apparently, the part that started with "I gave it a shot" and ended with "from here on out."

I don't think people assume or presume anything. They just listen.

Are you kidding? This section is the biggest congregation of ass-lickers ever assembled in one place, real or virtual. Even the fearless leader, who used to be receptive to honest criticism, has become thin-skinned as people point out the countless flaws with his current product. And every time he posts one of his "stop listening" posts, the groupies celebrate like clapping seals. Like the product itself, it's become unconsumable.

Be that as true as it may be IB, B&B still sucks.

Thus, the Score in no way, shape, or form gets better at 1:30 every day. It may not get worse, but certainly no better.
