A few thoughts on a very lively CSFMB lately...

I've not really been short-fused lately as Zippy-The-Pinhead suggested. There's just been a willingness to mix it up that had been absent for some time. Confrontation, if I may call it such, has been easier with a clear head. Sarcasm has been present, but not anger, including the thread "Fan" from Arizona last week. Enjoyed the many responses...but it came as a complete shock nobody caught the Col. Nathan Jessup references at the back end of my post. That would have led one to believe I was just being playful.

As good dolphin mentioned... I'll be at cottage a lot this summer. My Musky season begins on Saturday, June 14, with my son, Van, at the Chippewa Flowage near Hayward, Wisc. I have an opportunity this summer to do some video production/writing for an outdoors program up in NW Ontario. Haven't accepted the offer yet, but there's been a lot of give and take. It's my intention to spend at least four weeks on Eagle Lake. You're all welcome to make the 850-mile drive and meet me for shore lunch.

Not sure why badroque17 says I "pussied out" in transition with our senior columnist Dan Bernstein today. I assumed his assessment of the new broadcast technology in baseball meant wonderful things for all viewers. I was wrong. He said it was for his enjoyment, not mine. I couldn't agree more with Franky T and some others here.... I watch to be entertained and not knowing exact route efficiency never disrupted my enjoyment of the game. I am willfully ignorant about baseball data. The game is dull enough already. This technology is valuable for the teams and huge fans of the game, but I'm neither a scout nor a baseball lover. It's just something to watch and talk about when I'm not golfing or fishing and until NFL training camps commence.

Hey Zizou.... please enlighten me about the "wang whipping" I received from Bernstein. SAT scores? Has to be that because the show I quarterbacked up the dial went something like 13-2 vs. B&B. Please explain your assertion, kind sir. I'll hang up and listen for my answer.

Regarding "dull" baseball,please check out my "Sandberg Game" thread. Baseball can be the very best sport of all when it's right.

Mac, you have to understand. We hate Bernstein, and it is like porn thinking about someone taking his ass to the cleaners on the air. If you tease it and it doesn't happen, people will be disappointed.

Mac, nicely done on the many "senior columnist" references. Talk about the tallest midget.

I like Bernstein. And I like to hate him. It's a good mix.

The frustrating thing is that there are few people capable/willing at the Score to engage him. Mac is #1 and he rarely cares enough to do so.

I hate him and I love to hate him. It's a strange relationship. And I agree - Mac is the only one with the street cred to do it. It would make good radio if he cared enough to do it more.

Mac June 13th? Have you had good luck on the Flowage that soon after the season opens?

Can you talk to Mitch about doing one more Mac/Boers Spiegel/Bernstein partner switch show before you move onto WGN?

I don't hate him... just differ drastically in my approach to doing a radio show. Truth be told, in the Score's many trips around the country in the '90s... I often had a lot of yuks with him while out for dinner and drinks. Anybody recall the time we returned to the Score's hotel studio in Salt Lake City -- absolutely hammered -- and took over Les's show in the middle of the night?

I've already booked the cabin for that weekend so I'm committed to it. If the big toothies aren't active yet, Van and I are more than content to do some jawfuckin on Mr. Bucketmouth.

You at least think he's a douche who would benefit from getting the shit knocked out of him, right? If you care about him, you'll say yes.

I'm hoping Mr. Bucketmouth is a fish, right?

I'm about 45 minutes outside of Hayward, but the locals are already saying to delay coming up for fishing. The ice is still thick as hell. A couple weekends ago got the "don't even bother" to come up. They were so buried by snow they hadn't had time to even start clearing a path back to the houses for us "weekenders"

As you probably know Mac from up north throwing the right colored shad raps or something for the tail dancing smallies is a shit load of fun. Just need the right lake/spot.

The Senior Columnist attended overnight camp in Hayward, WI and I would think the 2.0 version of him would be about ready to do the same, as my nephew, who I think is the same age is going to be attending 4 weeks of Camp Northstar in Hayward , WI

Perfect time to develop fishing metrics!

That should come out more often.

I'd go nuts listening and not commenting on those thoughts. Give me a mic. But maybe you don't really listen.

Actually the funniest part of tranny was Bernsie admitting his Dad said he was out on his silly math/metric stuff. :lol: :lol: I think Mac said some crap to that and I laughed but can't recall.

Something like "maybe your Dad could do transition".

Zizou can speak for himself but I'm sure he's referring to the War for the SCORE which Bernstein obviously won. Part of that is because Mac was on another station but its still true

Once Mac left and Boers became old, it was only North and Murphy left to fight Bernstein


And we all know North broke up HFC with his MNMS aspirations


Norths dillusions lost the SCORE war

Just to mention it again, calling him "our Senior Columnist" is one of the funniest things I've ever read on this board. Burst out laughing when I read it.

Better way to put it, North lost. Not sure Bernstein won.
