I have got to say it was an absolute pleasure to hear NBC 5's Peggy Kusinski on the "Danny Mac Show" this week. P. Kusinski brought class, charm, and a gave us a perspective of the "soft" side of the sports we all love... something that seems to get lost in all the W's & L's. I thought this would be a good time to resurrect one of my all-time favorite radio program bits, "Critics at Xtra Large" (circa 2000s with the three studs). Two big curtseys for my gal, P. Kusinski

I imagine Rosen being blindfolded and literally throwing darts at a board and wherever it lands is who will be "guest" host for that day. |

I always picture it as Mitch fast asleep with M&H playing in the background while the potential guest hosts draw straws. Whoever draws the short straw has to feed the fatso for the next 3-5 days depending on whether or not his wicked awesome cover band is playing a show(read. drinking problem is taking over his life). |

cant say things people say about you don't bother you and then the 2 things someone said about you, then you end up bitching about it. I will K Sayers gets plenty of crap via Text that she sees and she gives it right back, without saying anything. does she do a good job? sure, if she was gone, would anyone notice? Nope. See Jill Carlson |

I like Mitch and I think he does a good job, especially supporting his people, which is really his job, as he doesnt sign people. However, I think a ton of what he does is politically motivated. he allows people on the air not based on quality, but based on where they work, what they do, etc. rarely is there anyone who you can say 'Wow, that person was fun to listen to" This all does back to someone on the air, who has lways wanted to do this kind of shit, is most concerned about not screwing up and presenting a professional show, when nobody but Bernstein cares about that. |

When she revealed that she didn't allow the use of the word "fart" in her household, I meditated intensely, hoping to maker her head explode like in "Scanners." But it didn't work. |

I would like to know how Mac feels about his seat being filled by the woman he refers to as "Ruth Buzzi" ? For those who are unfamiliar with the aforementioned, former "Laugh-In" regular, it is not a complimentary comparison. Also, for the youngsters out there, "Laugh-In" was a comedy show that ran in the late 1960's. |

But isn't a program director supposed to have some sort of advisory role? I mean, it's not like the main hosts should have to go in Mitch's office and go over airchecks with him, but when you have an afternoon show that has spiraled into endless self-indulgence, shouldn't you step in? especially when the ratings are bearing out how bad it's gotten? Dan has said "I do whatever Mitch Rosen tells me to do," but apparently Mitch Rosen doesn't tell him to do anything, unless Mitch is the puppetmaster behind countless Ethan Skolnick phoners and the worship of commerce disguised as sports talk, in which case whoa dude didn't think you had it in you. |
