I've not chosen to stay away here because of criticisms directed at the show. I'm not offended by anything written here. Much of it has been hysterical, actually. Envious of B&B? Getting a trimming from W&S? This is a treat to read. I'll have more over the weekend. It'll be time to come out and play again.

Mac,
Do you realize how absolutely brutal the "Ortman" and "Bensmen" references by meatpants are? They have no context. They have no humor. They have no point.

I'd really like to know what exactly is funny about it. A random reference eventually gets annoying and it's been like that for a while.

To be honest, it may be worse than any long running joke by Harry.

No context?
You can't discern the context
Get out much? Listen to the radio much?

It may well indeed be worn out, but you've gotta be pretty dim to actually not know the context. I'll assume you're feigning ignorance in an effort to further your point.

Here is the thing though. It isn't in reference to a dumb caller or a dumb thought.

It will be something like: "Kyle Ortman was named AFC offensive player of the week" or "The Broncos and Ortman play the Chargers".

I understand it when you are referencing a meatball caller or even if he said "Ortman for MVP!" but just about any reference to Kyle Orton or Cedric Benson gets this.

To be honest, B&B do it correctly. They don't overuse it and you always understand that it has a specific reason. It's like Meatpants hears the name and decides to make the "joke" no matter what.

Change the first line in your post to "Do you realize how absolutely brutal meatpants is"?
The harder Matt tries, the worse he gets.
Mac...don't go down with the ship. Replace Meat before it's too late!

I'm not so sure that's really Jurko. It's a cool theory, but I've lost faith in it a bit.

I'm actually attempting to help you over in the Bernsie vs hockey thread ... please don't make it harder than it already is to do so.

STFU about Meatpants. Everyone knows your opinion about him. Your input is clearly not valued by those able to make such a decision. Reposting it ad infinitum ad nauseum will have ZERO effect.

JOHN KIRK,

stfu about Meatpants. Or put some sort of Anti-meatpants quote in your sig. Then, you won't have to say it every single fucking asinine post you make. Its quite annoying, though we would certainly expect no less from you, John Kirk.

The fuck? Exactly how so, Kirkboy? I'm not very active in this section, and I'm not sure I've said much of anything about meatpants good, bad, or otherwise?

When one of the Mac Wack Pack says nothing about Meatpants..... that speaks volumes.

This is the place where you can actually critique the shows. You can't call in and say anything otherwise you get hung up on. I think this is a good place to see what is really on the mind of callers and listeners

Wasn't meatpants going to be a contributor around here? Haven't seen him around much, wonder why?

I agree ... for about the first dozen times. After that, it's annoying, deustche bank.

Don't read it then. Your riveting commentaries not withstanding.

Mac, how come half of the fucking Borders in the area don't have your book?
