Now that Dan has refocused his personal life, now would be a good time to make some professional adjustments as well. I would like to see Dan reclaim the character of the Score. The modern Score is as distanced from the people and as cozy with the teams as anything that existed during the Chet era of sports talk. The golden era of the Score was a clear break from that paradigm and it resonated with the people. Dan is one of the few links to that golden age.

I would like to see Mac ditch this mid day crap and get on the air during a drive time, preferably afternoons. I would like the station to commit itself to being an advocate rather than an adversary to its listeners. I would like to see hosts who understand this mindset, most specifically Hood. I would like to see B and B broken up, as I believe they have become a bit stale and really are not as popular as the influence they have at the station would indicate. Move Dan to mornings solo.

It is the 20th Anniversary for the station and a new life for Dan. It is a perfect time to think big.

Bernstein solo in the mornings would be pretty awesome.

I like it. Terry can stay with Mac and Drinky and Goff can stay and produce and talk. That is going to piss off meat so he is going to have to stay in the current time slot but they should go get Hood to work with him and not Larry.

Nah, keep Mac and Spiegs together in the afternoons. Put Terry and Laurence together midday.

No fucking way. That would make my work-day decidedly too Laurencey.

As for Mac making changes, I hope he takes this opportunity to take his job seriously. Seriously, you get paid to fucking talk sports. Is it so much to ask you to watch basketball, and work all 5 days for a month straight?

I couldn't have said it better, although I have been saying pretty much the same thing for a couple of years, except for having Berns go solo. Berns would be better with a host who will challenge him & his dumb thoughts, someone like Drinky.

Drinky challenges Dan repeatedly and loses. Rozner and Rosenbloom are the only guys who can get him on his heels without being belittled and blithely dismissed.

He'll never do mornings, though, because it's too much of a disturbance to living a normal life. I wonder if repeatedly mentioning "doing mornings takes years off your life" is a way of making sure no one offers him the job.

I'd listen faithfully. Love those guys.

But I'd also need to see Hub get a regular timeslot too. Maybe Rosey and Hub.

Rozner, Rosenbloom, and Hub are awesome.

You know, M&H were just fine when they did a two-hour show in mid-mornings. Nobody minded them at all. Maybe they should go back to that.

Why give him a better slot when relapse is a strong possibility.
6 weeks of OUT patient therapy, no work and still blaming his mom from his problems?

I have to say if my mom committed suicide it would fuck me up in some sort of way.

Who do you blame, SID?

The one who is to blame, Mac. he's done drugs and booze to an excess his whole adult life.
He should grow up and take responsibility for it and not blame his dead mother. This feel good bullshit psychology is just that bullshit. And out patient therapy for 6 weeks really doesn't help those problems. Especially when you spend most of the day away from help.
To me, something smells funny about this whole situation.

SID, when i asked "who do you blame', I meant who do you blame for your problems?

Jesus, the shit you and Gloopan have put up regarding this is amazing.

How about Steve Dahl and Mike North in the morning?
That would be a bold move and shake up the "staleness" of 'SCR.

Well look at it this way, it's true. Each person is responsible for themselves, the blame game
is not helpful when one has significant problems.

Correct. Do you blame others for being a miserable person, or do you accept it as your own fault?

There is really nothing to blame on anybody, there is only a reality. He didn't blame his mom, he stated what happened and condition(s) he has. It looks like after years of trying to deal with it he's trying a different way. I'm missing the feel good psychology part, want to explain?

I've gone back and forth on liking you or your persona here, but you sound like one of the biggest pieces of shit after the last few days. I don't know if you are trying to irritate Dan, or incite the ALS but you are coming off as unstable & daft.

You said once you didn't know Dan but you didn't like how he was on air or he seemed like a jerk. If that is true you have a disturbing abnormal interest and pattern of behavior. If you do know him and he has done something shitty to you, you still seem to have an abnormal vendetta or need for vengeance. I gotta tell ya, no matter what Mac's issues are, yours seem far worse.
