First of all I feel terrible for Daryls family and friends. I was never a fan of his work but he seemed like a good guy. The second I heard he passed I thought about the weird interview Mac did with him. I would love to hear it again to confirm my memory. I couldn't do it justice by describing it but it was way out of line and Daryl handled it great. I give Mac credit for somewhat admitting to his mistake today. I'm guessing he's matured since the day Harry Caray died................. |

I remember that interview as well and was curious what if anything Mac would say about him after his death. Hope he was kind. |

Mac was pretty hard on him, and Daryl handled it with absolute class. Mac acknowledged this today. I don't hold it against Mac. Truth be told, I thought he was pretty bad at his job. I certainly never hoped or expected him to pass so young. I'm pretty secure in saying Mac didn't either. |

This interview had to do with NBC pregame coverage of the Winter Classic and it not being in HD I believe. |

I thought it had to do with Mac & Bernsy when they were on opposite stations commenting on the Bears/Colts' debut a couple years ago on NBC5's "Sports Sunday", when the show was stretched out into a 45-minute postgame after NBC's "Sunday Night Football"... |

If I recall, Mac was ripping Hawk for being....what he was....hyper-peppy, ex-jock, not-very-bright sounding. Within a couple of days, Hawk called in to the show. As other said, he handled it pretty well (and to is credit, Mac didn't back down from his stance). I don't think Mac's opinion changed of him (mine didn't), but I certainly respected that Hawk had the balls to call in and challenge Mac on what he said. |

Hawks' work was awful. The guy may have been a nice guy and I feel sorry for the wife and childen he leaves behind, but his death doesn't make the quality of his work while alive any better. |

I never understood the Daryl Hawks professional hate. He didn't seem like a phony guy, read sports news for 3 minutes without falling over and seemed like he embraced the community by doing things off camera. Sad loss. |

Mac didn't like him, and that probably influenced a lot of people's opinions. |

Come on, Tad Queasy. My opinion of Hawks influenced others' opinions of him? This "fraternity" is a lot of things, but not being able to reach own's own opinion independently is not among them. |

still haven't heard a word on his death. i suspect he pushed himself too hard...maybe he had an undiagnosed heart condition and it got him. |
