Post subject:  Suggestions for improving the show - The official thread
1. Eliminate the parody songs. They suck (to be polite), and whenever one starts, I change the dial to WGN.

2. Mac - you really need to be in studio. These extended "vacations" are certainly impacting the ratings - I've turned in once since you've been gone.


Anyone else?

Limit Harry's talking to a max of 5 minutes per hour.

Better yet replace him.

Agreed. Harry's a big part of why I prefer B&B. I don't think he's funny, he talks sports out of his ass, and the Louie Anderson voice is irritating. Mac & Jurko together would be alright with me.

Let Bongwater Chad fire on ESPN employees once a week. Silvy's ass is still red after yesterday's spanking administered by Bong.

Truncate the Almanac and the crosstalk into the last segment.

Trim Monday Night John back to once every other week.

More coffee for Jurko in the 6PM hour.

Get a couple of Bears contributors and have them on for a segment the day after a game. Charles Tillman, Tommie Harris or Nate Vasher work for me.

Limit the use of "dugout, clubhouse, players".

More shotgun, more cowbell and less Cubs love from Harry.

Absolutely not. Player interviews suck even when they are presented as regular guests.

Bring back Jurko vs Harry. I need another gift certificate from Allen Brothers :wink: .

I agree with less parody songs.

I think they have already limited the use of "dougout, clubhouse, players"- I don't hear it like I used to.

Weekly Fantasy Football segment and don't say there is no room on radio for it, it is basically legalized gambling and in the next 5 years there will be more props bet taken than straight game bets in Vegas because of fantasy football.


if done right it would be good segment............... not who should I start but from a betting prespective.

Stick with 3-7. Most days, I'm just getting to my car and driving home at 6pm.

Plug back in the 6 o'clock hour. Lose the the almanac. I don't need or want to know what Springstein or Dylan had for lunch on that day in '74. Eliminate any reference to the Hollywood communists. I.e. no movie blabber. Sports, sports, sports, sports!

I guess listening to Harry gush on and on about Carrie Wood is more entertaining. My suggestions have character. Character goes a long way.

Yeah, I would like that too.

I don't mind the unplugged hour, but please don't waste time with crap like the executive producer dating his former girlfriend again. That may have been the biggest waste of air time that I have ever heard.

Player interviews are usually turn-the-dial radio for me, but they don't always turn out so bad. It's really a crap shot on whether they'll be interesting or not.

The only people I will *never* listen to are college coaches. Keep 'em.

My only suggestion is to keep Mac in studio. He is the glue. Mac, watch your MOUF!

You could give him one of those timers they use for chess games. Then put a shock collar on him and every time he speaks after the alloted time is up, Mac and Jurko gets to shock him.

I'm hungry now. Think I'll make a grilled cheese. Anyone else dip their grilled cheeses in yellow mustard? If you haven't, give it a try it will change your life and make your wife better looking.

Thanks for the promotion ANDY ROONEY I wasn't promting GTD. I think Fanatasy football has a place on drive time radio and has nothing to do with me being on.

Thanks for promoting the site I should hire you for sales
