Forget all the controvesy surrounding this. I know you gossip girls will continue down that path. :roll: I'd like to get away from that and congratulate Ben on behalf of CSFMB in a formal thread.

Drinky, Goff and Larry: I would hope you guys would do the same. Bet you didn't even think to do so. I know you don't want to, but it's just the polite thing to do. He's just like you guys - a producer trying to make it. It's a big moment for him. You should appreciate that. Do it through gritted teeth, but you should do it. It won't take much time away from your plotting and scheming revenge. Just a quick "Way to go, Ben" during show transition would be enough. Not even on the air.

It's not every day you see a Jewish guy make it in sports radio. Wait, it's actually every day. Whatever. Congratulations, Ben!!!!

I'm actually being criticized for extending contratulations and encouraging the Score guys to show some class? Ok. :roll:

It is a big deal for Finfer. Especially considering how much I see you guys bitch about Mac's and Spieg's days off. Finfer will be getting more air time than Larry now.

Sadly, I think Larry and Goff will be saying this to Mac

Saying "Congratulations Ben Finfer" is me patting myself on the back? No. Where, specifically, did I pat myself on the back in this thread?

So you're not denying the rest?

Then...congratulations to you.

He was just announced the "Full time" sub. That's what the congratulations is for. I didn't break any story, by the way. I predicted the story would happen. Big difference.

You guys are insane sometimes. You really get worked up over this bullshit.

Congrats, Ben! I thought your first show with Mac was a solid endeavor.

You were chosen because Mac thought you to be professional, disciplined, talents, content driven and all around 'ready' for a radio gig in a major market. Apparently Goff was none of those things.

Don't hate the player. Hate the game.

When I was a kid, I knew that Leno was gonna steal "The Tonight Show" from Letterman years before it happened. When nobody saw it coming. They didn't have message boards back then, so only my classmates were informed.

Beardown, you are losing me a little.

Good for Finfer, bad for listeners.

I'm not saying he's good. From the little I've heard on the weekends, he's not. I just think such a promotion deserves a salut.

I'm also willing to give him time to get better. He's still a rookie. Mitch's draft picks have sucked, though. That's why Mac came in to make this pick.

You did by starting this thread.

Finfer is the quintessential bench guy to me.

He's decent as a fill in. Funny enough to squeak by on some weekend shows, but he's not a 5 day a week guy.


He's too easily frustrated out of his refreshing comedic take on most everything

The reason Finfer has a chance is that he will accept the mentorship of a Dan McNeil unlike the banished ones who rejected his teachings.

Mac And Finfer
