Doesn't matter where Mac or anyone else goes. I have declared Boers the winner of the Sports Radio Wars.

A video shot from 401 N Michigan... of the Tribune building... "the Tribune building is beaming today!" He says.

WGN will have a huge hole in their programming once the Cubs are gawn. WGN still has the Blackhawks games? Perfect lead-in.

Mac's first request to WGN: except for Mondays/Fridays/Tuesdays after a Bears win, full sabbatical until the Blackhawks season starts.

$350k to put up with Bernsie's FOTS shit or $500k to kick his ass when new signal comes and start a new one up? I know what I would do. Probably telling when his guy Finfer left. On the other hand no changes in promos so who knows?

Post subject:  Re: book it, he's going to GN or the Game

Here's my guess. Feder said the Score has the right to match any offer. So Mac is looking for his old buddy DeCastro to give him a 500k offer to where the Score would have to match.

Granted, DeCastro would have to be willing to pay it if the Score doesn't, but the Trib has money and Mac is the guy to kick start that station so he'd take that chance I guess.

LOL, this lazy fat fuck isn't going to get big money anywhere. No way WGN or the Game pay him 500K.
No where close. He may go there there, but not 500K or 400 days vacation.
It is his feeble attempt to negotiate via the web, but more than likely FAILURE

Unless I'm missing something here, and there's a good chance I am, that whole "match what ever the offer is" thing is weird.

These are private corporations, not teams in a league with a common labor union.

I see no reason why WGN should have to divulge what they're really paying any of their employees to CBS.

Sounds more like a gentlemen's agreement than anything binding in court on WGN or Mac.

And if the reason Mac wants to jump ship is because of time-slot, as is alleged below--then WSCR would be nuts to try to force a guy with Mac's history
to stay on in the 9-1 slot.

And let's say for shits and giggles that Mac and WSCR have some sort of legal document which allows WSCR to "match" any other offer Mac is made. Unless the language
is very explicit that it's monetary remuneration only, Mac could say that he's going to afternoons WGN for the same money, or even less than what WSCR is offering because to Mac
the afternoon time slot is worth more than the 9-1 timeslot WSCR is offering--irrespective of monetary comp.

Did you catch the little joke between Spiegel and Rozner about Button 48?

Post subject:  Re: book it, he's going to GN or the Game

After seeing this video, this was the reaction from 3 people trying out for a certain show.

Drinky: :cheers:

Rozner: :cheers:

Grote: :cheers:

Mac's old partner saw the video as well.

Grimace: :shock:

Terry Boers gets $500k. Mac will too.

How could the Score justify NOT giving him an offer of $500k?

Yea. Something like "maybe not for too much longer"?

Post subject:  Re: book it, he's going to GN or the Game

So who are they gonna fire to give Mac afternoons? Payton's kid? Spike? Harry?

Probably Spike.

Remember, nobody at THE GAME has a contract so it will be easy to launch him. Mac will be the only one to have a contract probably.
