I am not aware of anything, but Mac for a couple of hours each week during Bears season is a no brainer.

Kind of like the way Giangreco shows up when the weather is warm with Silvy and Waddle.

Stay tuned.

This station is a disaster. I don't think Mac would ever set foot in there unless they REALLY opened the checkbook. It's a laughingstock and would be a career killer for him.

If Mac used The Game as leverage during negotiations, I'm sure the other side of the table just laughed at him. He's not going there.

It really is the worst station imaginable. It makes the Score look good. Think about that for a moment.

Post subject:  Re: Announcement?

I hope Mac and Finfer hook up. I have no use for Quigs or whoever that is, but I have given it a listen due to the unstable nature of The Score midday show. I've been mildly enjoying Harry, Spike and Jarrett...mostly because it has a slight feel (generic albeit) of MJH.

I'm sure there's another thread about it, but I wish that Drinky and Spiegs (two Matts..wow) would have been the new show.

There is lots of bad on that station, but I do enjoy Brandmeier a little and HJS, Finfer is decent. Other than that....not so good. Connor McKnight and and Mark Harmon (who the fuck?) sounds like a college radio show.

He might not be going there, but maybe this is why you need to post about looking for a new job every 6 months? Maybe you really dont have a sense of what is good and what can become something. It's called having vision of what can be done.

I will take Larry Werts business record over douchebags business thoughts today.

I know how much douchebag loves to point out others are gettiing made a bitch for the day with their inadequate thoughts and I usually don't join in, as I think it is pussy move, so I will be the first to point out how poor of day D bag is having with some attempst at advanced thoughts.

You're the one who seems to be having a bad day. You're taking my posting too personally. Larry shots aside, I've got no qualms with you.

I'm merely pointing out that The Game is about as amateurish as a station could be, and Mac wouldn't (and shouldn't) lower himself to work there.

DB, why not? He'd be the big fish, DeCastro probably has a shitload of money to throw at him, and he can reunite with the first member of his ALS in Finfer.

It's a startup station and maybe they could have had a little more planning, but its not like David Hernandez is behind them, WGN is.

WGN is losing the cubs and in time, I can see them losing the Hawks, they are not going to want to be in a bidding war, thus creating their own programming.

They need a better signal and I believe they are ready to buy, once one hits the sale block and you need to have everything ready, a following, programming etc.

It's a great business plan that still needs to be executed, but you start with a plan when you do things.

This could be the "fixer up" project for Mac...if the money is right.

Post subject:  Re: Announcement?

Why do people think that Mac still can/wants to go join a startup station that sucks? That involves working and being on your game. Two things that Mac was lacking in his second stint at the Score. He just wants to cut his grass, fish and watch football and hockey. I can't blame him, he's earned that by being a hell of a radio host. I just dont think he has it in the tank to build a new station from scratch.

Here is my guess. Mac has some deal with THE GAME, I have no idea what the deal is. He is telling NOBODY! Not even hinting at it and actually trying to Not hint at it.

But I said something about Kaps car (new vette) and Mac did say he saw it the other day! ---Slip??????????

Some type of PT gig, a few hours a week. from his house? I have no idea, this is just my guess.

I did see Mac a few weeks ago in a parking lot. Looked like a mighty fine vehicle. :wink:

If the game offered Mac 80 G's to work from home and contribute once or twice a week,I bet he'd be a happy camper.

Mac wouldn't get out of bed for 80g's...even on a PT basis.

He could always do the show in bed, but he'd probably have to be standing on said bed.

This is like people that call me and ask to find them commercial space for a new business.

one guy wanted to open a bagel shop.

I asked if he had a bagel shop. Nope.

I then asked if he works in a bagel shop. Nope.

does he have a plan? can he make bagels? Nope, but in his own words, :"it cant be that hard"....

Told him he needs a plan and it might help if he knows how to make some bagels.

I'm sure the BP looks fine, I'd like to be a fly on the wall in the meeting where he has to go over all of his shortfalls. :lol: :lol:

Well we missed our ratings projections and our ad revenue was down 29.8%... BUT we just hired a former Bear as a midday host!

Who is it? A former QB, one of the 85 guys?

No..... it's a former long snapper with no real broadcast experience.

.......

And we cut salary by dumping a long time fan favorite!

......

All that matters is ad revenue, which is obviously driven by ratings. I believe The Score billed $25 Million last year, which was up a few % from the previous year.

Feels like about 50% of that is coming from Comcast, with the non-stop ads.
