Why are you so bitter about ESPN Mac? You're back at the Score and doing well but it would probably kill you not to take shots at ESPN. I don't get why you won't let it go since you have proven they made a mistake. You were bitter about the Score when you were working for ESPN. Just doesn't make sense to this listener/reader.

I think its gotta be sweet for Mac. He moves to the Score, and every Score show now dominates the ratings with ESPN fading fast. My philosophy is enjoy it when you're on top, cause it don't last forever.

Mackey is too stupid to realize that this is why he keeps getting recession contracts and gets stuck working with a idiot like meatpants.

Go ahead and piss off the one sports radio station for self gratification, then the other can low ball you every time since they are the only bidder. You're only hurting yourself, Mackeyfish. Hope you get as much satisfaction dumping on ESPN as you do when you look at your paycheck.

Ok genius. I'll spell it out for you in terms you can understand. You live in a small town that only has a Burger King and a McDonalds. You are the worlds best fry cook. You worked at McD's but had run ins with the boss and got canned. Does BK have to pay you above minimum wage, especially since you make it known day after day how much you hate McD's? BK just laughs and says keep it up asshole. Then I don't have to bid against anyone.

Burger King and McDonald's analogy don't hold because they don't have RATINGS.

Au contrare... http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/maga ... off-ov.htm

Those ratings for fast food joints don't get managers fired... The stock price gets executives fired... Arbitron is the end-all be-all in radio. Consumer Reports doesn't count for anything unless you make cars.

Ok if you're spelling this out for me you need a dictionary b/c what your spelling makes no sense.... Burger King and McDonald's analogy don't hold because they don't have RATINGS. ESPN's ratings tank and they shake up the staff, now all the people that you clashed with are gone. Mac brings listeners and lest you forget, the SCORE employed Danny Mac once before. He was a huge asshat then but in the name of ratings a new mgmt brought him back. Mac has delivered people to the Score.... again. That's why Mac will always get a job in this market provided he out lasts the mgmt that ousted him. Mac is a game changer in his industry and his current contract will probably be a bargain compared to the next. ESPN went from a tie with the Score in ratings to about a 20% drop in certain time slots. As long as the ratings improve Mac has what's called leverage; look that up in that dictionary you need as long as your spelling things out. dictionary.com

Seacrest,
you are using North logic. Neither Mac's nor North's sponsors paid all the bills for the big salaries and that is why neither is making the big money any longer. Mac took a cut of at least half and more likely 2/3 of what he was making. ESPN apparently felt he was far too much trouble to pay big money to and that stands today. If he messes this up, he has no where to go, just like North.

SID Mac's cut wasn't as bad as you think. It was in the neighborhood the "lowball" offer North got. Mac didn't get a raise but it wasn't as drastic as you think.

eddie, pull your head out of your ass. Mac took a huge hit, by his own admission, and is making about 35% of North's lowball offer.

I have a source that says it wasn't that bad. It's more than 35% of North's lowball by about a third. It's a good source too. I know you're happy for me.

Let's see, north turned down $800k and Mac is getting high $200'a low 300, down from over $600k. Eddie, I think your math is way off and your source is useless.

I have a source too...only difference is mine knows what he is talking about...I'm guessing your source is someone really well-informed, like Stu-Gotz.
