Hannibal Lecter

4) Mac has begun secretly negotiating to become the drive-time host on a rival station that will soon adopt a mostly sports-talk format and is already beginning a new round of sports-talk wars!

Many here have predicted that Mac would eventually regain his afternoon drive-time hosting gig. Those prognostications are correct. But he won't do so at the Score.

There are several other "projects" I've discussed with decision makers (only one in radio). One never knows, but I'd bet against my involvement with a daily 9-1 show after next June.

Mac in the afternoons on WGN radio.

Mac pretty much lays out his plans in the above quote. He wants a drive-time gig and probably has already received an informal offer for one. The talk about taking a non-radio job is just subterfuge. Mac has no marketable skills and no earning power outside the domain of sports talk radio. He has made similarly ludicrous statements in the past before coming to a realistic understanding of his career options.

Kinda thinking this too. Never forget Mac has a SMART.ASS.BIG.BOY.LAWYER as an agent and his wife is a REALLY.SMART.LAWYER too not a party planner. He is a hell of a lot smarter than he lets on. He will quietly makes his moves and as he has said before he wants to crush the competition no matter his prior relationship with them.

Do you really think WGN would have Mac as their afternoon host? That's an "older" audience and I'm not sure Mac pushing the boundries of good taste would go over real well with a high brow audience. He would have to tone down his masterbation/porn, bathroom and recreational drug use talk and I'm not sure if he's willing to do that at this point in his career. This would be like Howard going to WNBC. It would be an entertaining disaster.

He already tried to get Mitch to switch, and he refused.

Maybe some major role with Blackhawks TV/radio??

1. Mac blasts the Bernstein's clones on the air. Calls them "yes men". Writes here about Bernstein's overwhelming influence on everybody at the station Larry was certainly the target amongst others.

2. Mac writes here that he doubts he'll be back after his contract is up in a year.

Possible Conclusion: Mac sees the writing on the wall. His kind is no longer welcomed at the Score. Mitch and Zim want Bernstein Clones. They want 24/7 "Fuck You" radio even if it's done by hacks and no-talents (Zim thinks he can get the hacks on the cheap). They want a condescending, arrogant tone from all on air personalities. Mac probably senses that Larry is gonna replace him. That "Yes Men" comment was a way of saying, "This sucks that I'm probably gone for Larry." I think it offends Mac's broadcasting sensibilities that his replacement will just be a copy cat, lessor version of Bernstein. "BE YOURSELF" was the way Mac was brought up in broadcasting. Now the motto at the Score is "BE BERNSTEIN".

A few months ago Mac posted that Terry resigned with the Score. So that's gotta be a 2 or 3 year deal.

Larry wants to be Bernstein's partner. We all know that. He's been sucking off Bernstein for years hoping Terry will die or retire. Larry knows Bernstein will carry him so he can be his usual horrible self as long as he sucks Bernstein's cock as a partner. Larry is more than willing to do that.

That's not available right now. With Mac saying he's likely gone in a year, Zim will pair him with Spiegel.

1. Mitch loves Larry for some reason. Maybe Larry sucks off Mitch like he does Bernstein. We don't know about it cuz this is done off the air.

2. If Mac is getting 300k, Zim figures he'll get Larry for 150k. Mitch will go to bat for Larry. Zim will agree cuz he'll be thinking about the savings. Larry has no leverage. Zim will say, "Take it or leave it, Larry. If you leave it, I'll get fuckin' drinky to do it for 70k for a year and figure out who replaces his dumb ass later." Of course you take it if you're Larry.

If it is Larry and Spiegel, that will be the biggest "Vagina Show" in the history of two males paired to do a sports radio show. Two sensitive bitches with the personalities/behavior of like high school girls.

Why do you think that Spiegel will get a new contract? Even Mac doesn't like him anymore.

Mitch says I could put someone on there at 1/3 Mac's salary easy and get the same numbers.
