Yes, Some Guy, it is Ben Finfer. Likely going to be having him regularly when Spiegs isn't there.


Beardown: What did I tell you?

CSFMB: Oh no...son of a bitch was right.

Beardown: Yes. The son of a bitch was right. I said if Larry and Goff fuck with Mac enough, they'd eventually get the horns. Well, they just got the horns. Congrats to Finfer. It's a big honor and a big career step. He'll appreciate it more, Mac. I won't call this revenge. I'll call it justice.

I'm all for him becoming the permanent co-host.

Does that also mean Finfer sits in for Mac when he isn't there? That'll be the case tomorrow.

All hail FINFER! I'll be listening.

Quick question, if Larry subs for Dan or Terry is there a way to have him omitted from tranny? Could his start time be 1:28?

No tranny is complete without Laurence.

If it's true? Man, you're funny. :lol: I quoted Mac to start this thread. I think he would be a pretty good source. :lol:

It had to happen. This is all coming off the heels of the "Mac vs. Goff" situation. There was tension with that on air spat. You could feel it. It was only gonna get worse until somebody got knifed. :wink: Now, I'm sure you're gonna tell me it's unrelated. :roll: Because we all know that if it looks like a duck and walks like a duck, it's probably not a duck, right? :lol:

So what are the correct reasons, Doug?

I'm sure Finfer always thought it was weird that Bernstein's producer was called into sub. Finfer is around Goff's age and has been producing for just as long as Goff, right? So it would stand to reason that Finfer would have been Mac's go to guy all along. And it would be Berntein's responsibility to take care of Drinky and Goff if he cared. Which he doesn't.

I kind of know why it didn't happen right away. Goff and Drinky were the first guys off the bench before Mac arrived at the Score. So maybe Mac didn't want to come in right away and have his producer step over them. That wouldn't be good form. So Mac had Goff do his show for quite some time as a show of respect and good will. But now with Goff's constant "Da Ma Na" insults, it gave Mac the opening he was always looking for. Finfer in. Goff out.

Spot on, Beardown.

But let us never forget that I, SomeGuy, was the one who dug deep and broke the story.

Beardown..I am sure you could add the faces and more words but it went like this....


Mac: Hey Mitch..I am going to bring North to sit in next week :)

Mitch: :lol: Uh NO!...and from now on..you got Finfer to fill in.

Mac: :oops:

Post subject:  Re: Mac names Finfer as permanent guest host for Spiegel

Now it's Goff's move.

My advice to him: The move should be to cease fire and come out with your hands up.

I know that's against Goff's nature. He's been raised by B&B. He's probably loading up his guns as we speak. But maybe it's time to lose that B&B style and attitude. Cuz that style and attitude just got you knocked off the Danny Mac show. Like I've said before, B&B are made men. You're not. You can't get away with it. Mac just proved that.

Terry started "Da Ma Na" as good natured fun. Goff took it and made it a lethal weapon. Let's come up with Goff stuff, Goff. Stop taking B&B stuff. That includes the dumb Chicago accent voice to make fun of white people. That's Bernstein's thing. You and Larry shouldn't take it.

Post subject:  Re: Mac names Finfer as permanent guest host for Spiegel

I don't even think Mac wanted to necessarily go to Finfer full time. I don't think that was his intention or plan. Maybe he would have eventually gone to an even split between Goff and Finfer. He'd have kept Goff if the "Da Ma Na" insults didn't get so out of control. If it hadn't led to that dust up on the air. I just think the tension between the two would have made for awkward radio and Mac realized it.

This just provided him a justified out to where he doesn't look like the bad guy. Now Goff has to point the thumb instead of the finger.

Yeah, Mac being overly sensitive about this is pretty strange.

Mac is the guy who shotgunned a fellow employee while he was trying to do his job at Bears Camp, Mac is the guy who bad mouthed said employee while on the air and Mac is the same guy who talked shit to that same employee while he was trying to another report (i.e. his job) from Bears Camp.

If Replacement Host-gate is because Mac can't take a joke....well, he is a hypocrite wiener.

Looks like Mac is having mood swings that can sometimes be attributed to post-cycle hormone swings. Looks like ole' Macker ran out of Androgel and doesn't have any post-cycle therapy lined up!

Post subject:  Re: Mac names Finfer as permanent guest host for Spiegel

I thought Mac put up with it for a long time. I thought he took it well for a long time. This has been going on for how long? At least a year. Probably longer. It's gotten more intense and mean in recent months. Eventually, you just get sick of it. Eventually, you realize it's not good natured. That's what happened.

I think he was completely flabbergasted and taken aback from the sudden on air confrontation. He was completely blindsided by it, and since in Jason's mind it was all in good fun, how was he supposed to answer?

Post subject:  Re: Mac names Finfer as permanent guest host for Spiegel

Mac tried to take Goff under his wing. Sure, it smells like cigarette smoke under that wing. So what? You put up with the smell and treat the 20 year sports talkin' vet with some respect. Goff should have embraced the mentorship. Instead, he had to be the wise-cracking jack ass and the relationship was ruined. It could have opened some doors for Goff. Who knows? Sports radio is so damn crazy. There is no rhyme or reason why some people make and some don't. You should take advantage of vets who offer help.

Yes!

What we have here is a stand-off of good against evil. The Gentiles -vs- Jews....I don't know what I'm talking about - to quote Boers - but yes, this is an important issue. Danny is the defender of the blue collar man; the Hillbilly, the farmer, the painter and the poet. Bernstein is just...Bernstein. His cabal is a vile group of mockers, haters, rappers, and Sicilians. No need to read The Stand. Just tune in between 9am and 6pm on the Score and you'll experience every dichotomy of life, played out right before your very ears. Who will win???

You're beginning to see the light.

How does ol' Mackeyfish continue to receive the lifetime pass from so many? My IQ has been lowered severely over the years from continued and rampant weed use, but if I remember even semi correctly......

Mac has been suspended twice from each station.
Dangerous has been fired once from each station.
The Fish just doesn't play nice with others whether it be management, peers or subordinates.
Can't do the tranny because he can't get along with Mully and Hanley.
Couldn't get along with Murph.
Loved North, hated North, loved Pappy, hated Pappy, and is back to fake loving the Papster.
Mackey can't get along with ZZ and is such a rude prick that the segments are now pre-recorded.
MackeyFish couldn't get along with not so Tiny.
The Man from Indiklana threw Hood under the bus. And now Goff and Holmes as well.
Couldn't work with Jiggs.
Hates Herb.
Wanted to fight Bernsie at the Super Bowl™ or wherever that was.
Will end up hating Spiegel.
Has an ORP% of .263. (On Radio Percentage)
Can't get along with the dude on the train who has dental problems beyond his control.
Can't get out of bed for less than $300k.
Can't show up to work the day after the Sox win the World Series.
Left so many holes in the walls at the old Score studios that he became know as Gloryhole Dan.
Hated the board, said it was dying when his forum wouldn't have even one thread for days on end.
Only came here to save face for the pounding he took from missing previously mentioned missed day of work after World Series clincher.
Cancelled the tailgate and blamed it on Spiegel.
Is sensitive to the origin of the Da Ma Na good natured ribbings, but has no problem doing 45 minutes of autism jokes radio.
Had his house painted by the biggest racist known to the CSFMB.


That's really all just nitpicking :lol:

This is going to sound Glooponian, but maybe the guy that wanted to pick Mac's cohosts for him was on to something. Granted Harry wasn't the best choice by what ever pm that was but Mac's not really good at picking them on his own either. Call me unimpressed.

Will Laurence start throwing shoulders in the elevator at Finfer? Will Goff make little funnies about Finfer? Like sands through the hour glass, my friends.

That will be the tell.

If Goff and his crew, but esp. Goff, start to throw out little barbs and jabs here and there about his very subject....then we will know what is being talked about on this board is the truth.
