Are you guys members of the Stu ALS? I make fun of him and you guys make fun of me. Maybe Stu is right.

Who is making fun of you here? (EDIT: OK, maybe the doc...)

I see people making fun of the people who take the time to create and maintain a website with definitions to terms such as "boston pancake..."

Clown boxers like this guy who sits back and tries to think how can I compete with Stu and get the attention of Spaulding today.

You guys are pathetic and I sit back and laugh that none of you can compete with me on any level. Mr.Reson still thinks he's relative to this board after not having a cogent thought since his post about how "Saved by the Bell" was one of the most underrated T.V. shows ever and that he had posters of Screech in his college dorm room.

We can't.

Thats a good thing for us, not so much for you.

Words to live by from a guy who is unemployed and lives with his parents.. Change your moniker to George Costanza..People might respect around here a little more.

I'd like to say reading is a skill STU, but it seems we have a comprehension problem. When I typed "I was driving in the car to a meeting when this broke and I went out of my way to make sure I heard the follow up. ", you thought I was talking about hearing your post in my car?? Ummm. No. I was talking about listening to MJH.

But I shouldn't ruin a good story. You really should have your own show.

I have to admit that he's on a roll.

i doubt that. that entire show was awful.

Do you think it would make Stu's day if the board was changed to ChicagoStufan.com? Because really, this message board and all that is discussed is really all about him.

We certainly have to talk about him all of the time, especially since he's the only one here capable of posting anything that generates discussion. Look! I'm talking about him right now (damn he's good)!

plus the sun-times has an all-out eviseration from today's meandering column of "thoughts", wow!

Yeah, looks like I'm not the only one who thinks Mac is over his head as a writer. From the Sun-Times website:

Give me a break Sun-Times. I know you are trying to save money by having no talent shills fill your pages with garbage but this is too much. This bloviator is a poor writer with nothing to say. Get this goof out of the paper and off of the web. Masochists can listen to his drivel if they want on the radio but protect the rest of us from this sophomoric detritus. Let a real high school sophomore do it for the few bucks you pay this goof and the kid will do it better. Plus you've already got no-talent Elliott Harris filling the page with nonsense. We don't need more.

I agree with halsted st. pete. I think a lot of you are just way too over critical. I mean give me a break.

I like the Afternoon Saloon. It's much better than listening to those two blow-hards on The Score. No one can ever question their opinion of they make fun of you or just dump the call. They have all of these ridiculous rituals with the callers. That show is a joke.

Way to go Mac. Nice article.

This is it? Andy Rooney musings? This is a column that has your mind collecting information for 7 days and 35 meals?

Maybe tell us what you ate, how many pounds of empty calories and how the sugar has disintegrated your mind. We need an explanation for this mindlessness.

Boers and Bernstein have nothing to worry about.

Why do people seem to care so much about Mac writing a once a week editorial in a Sports Section of a dying paper?

Macs a lightning rod...and he seems to like it that way.

I guess so, rpb. I'm not going to sit here and critique the guy's writing style, or lackthereof. If I wanted to correct bad grammer, I'd go back to school and get a job as a Freshman English teacher. I listen and read to be entertained, and hear somebody else's opinions about the same teams I root for. More days than not, the show succeeds in that department, and so far Mac's collumns have as well.

_________________

Frank, isn't that what readers should do? After all, MJH has a 'critics' segment so they should be held to a standard other people without those vehicles have. he speaks of Ball State, he has a column in the NWI paper; he's fair game, right?

Send an email in to Critics then. Making umpteen posts on the board about it is silly, imo. But I digress. Go ahead and do whatever entertains you hosers.

By the lack of guests the North and Jiggets show have produced in it's first week , I beg the question on how long it will take untill they call Mac to appear on it ?

The other question I have is how long will it take for Mac to rip that show after appearing on it ?

"Hello" is fighting words to you.[/quote]


Good Point.
