They paid him next to nothing and he'd accept any assignment given to him. Then Dan Mc Neil came along. It's not difficult to understand.

No doubt Harry has the long history. I always said he is just the key to the bathroom.

Who do you want the Hawks to face and why? Purely for my gambling interests

and when we have an ask Shakes section, you can provide answers.

Mac,
When you were on your hiatus last year did you explore satellite radio much? Was there even an opportunity to do something there? There's a lot of freedom in that medium, but it seems to be that it can be also too laid back and not sound all that clean and/or professional at times. Some of the NFL Radio stuff is horrible radio, but I keep it on simply because of the topic. How would your show change if you were to go to sat radio? Would you keep all of the production stuff,games etc?

Also, how are the Score's ratings from 1 to 1:20. I find this can't miss radio everytime. It's usually a non-stop laugh fest on this end. Though this would never happen, I feel like that group of guys in a morning show would be hilarious. Your cross-talk reminds me of the heyday of Bob and Tom when they were hoarding Marconi awards. I especially love when Bernsie goes into his baseball math and you couldn't seem more disinterested. Cracks me up.

Also, how about Murph as your Cubs guy every week. :D

The one thing cooler about STANLEYS COUPE v. any other trophy is the Tour that it takes in the offseason.

World Series, Super Bowl, Obrien might try to do some traveling, but nothing travels like Lord Stanleys Cup!

Private event for $100 to enter would be fair. $100 can go to Ten Foot Midgets Legal defsne fudn for stealing my DICTATOR call!

I think we should be able to take pictures with the Stanley Cup at POKER GAME # 5

Except Kravy Ivan.. He would have some weak ass excuse why he couldn't make it.

Mac you mentioned on the air last week that having a "bumpy ride" in a show was liberating. You further stated that ESPN would try and limit you somehow when interviews went bad. You made this comment after Brain Engblom was on and I was piqued by it. Could you please elaborate on that? I love behind the scenes stuff so please give more.

IF they win it Booby Hull gets it for a day and Im sure it will only take a case of wine and young strippers to get Bobby over at Mac's again.

Button 48 but I've already held the trophy and it's the coolest looking thing in the world to hold and to think of all the greats that have touched it is pretty cool. Would like to hoist it once again but threw the Hawks and not the Red Wings .

You're right, I think I'm assuming too much of Mac. Let's try again.

What's 1+1?



Now how bout getting to work on that "ask shakes" section? Its long overdue.

Mac,

Would you be averse to expanding your mustard palette?
I found some new flavors (of mustard) at my local deli and could bring them to the tailgate.

Mac can you give us some info on your beef with the BBQ Man? You mentioned a lawsuit could be coming. Wondering if you ever looked into that and just your overall opinion on the guy.

If the Hawks win and draw a whopping 60-70,000 fans to the "champeenship" celebration, can we stop being bombarded with hockey talk....say in favor of something much more relevant, like say college sports talk?

Mac, are you concerned that your show is now so boring that no one can even ask you a good question?

Can you also talk about the new beef with the morning show, specifically Mully and how big of an ass hat he is. Did you guys have to have a meeting with Mitch? How bad does everyone dislike Mully including his own staff?

Mac, how much longer do you see B & B hosting together? They sure sound completely different and even energized when they have different radio wives.

And also, has anything brought you joy and/or disappointed you about your show?

Mac,

What is your history with Jim O'Donnell (whoever that is), and do you believe he needs mental help? Also, what do you know about his history with Terry? It seems extensive, childish, and dumb.

Thanks.

Would there ever be a chance for mic-sniffers to "ride along" (silently w/ the producers, away from live mics) for a day?

(in short terms, sit in the studio like a lap-dog and "watch" radio happen)

What is it that makes you think tired ass dinosaur bands like Aerosmith and Alice Cooper are in any way superior to the ground-breaking and innovative music of Wu-Tang Clan?

I'm thinking of investing in land MacRealtor, which do you suggest:

A glowing lot filled with dog and cat feces next to the Braidwood nuclear plant

or an overpriced lot next to a muddy puddle in Park Ridge

Which would be more enjoyable to watch:

1) Carrie Sayers taking a beef injection from AJ Foyt on a rowboat

2) or watching Rick Bayless inject this into some Allen Bros. meat:
* 2 cups beef broth
* 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
* 1 teaspoon onion powder
* 1 teaspoon garlic powder
* 1/2 teaspoon cayenne powder
