Before Mac so rudely cut him off, the caller was trying to say that DirecTV had the San Fran feed of the Cubs game last night. He's right! I had it too. Channel 668-1 had the HD broadcast, and it was indeed the SF crew, apologizing for Zito the entire time!

Mac said the caller was an idiot, etc.....that he needs to figure out how to use the guide on DirecTV because the game was on channel 668, then cut him off. Channel 668 was the regular/non-HD broadcast, and it was Len & Bob. 668-1 was the HD.

Big fan of the show Mac, but you were wrong on this one. :oops:

I agree, channel 668 wasn't HD, and 668-1 was in HD, and had the SF broadcasters until the 7th or 8th inning. The 2 of them were very boring, but it's not like they have a lot to talk about.

Was it Kuiper and Krucow? If so, I'm so sorry for you...having suffered through them for three years of MVP Baseball made me want to off myself...

"Grab some pine, meat!"

"That batter didn't know what was comin'! Sweet strike out!"

"That pitcher made a mistake, and HE HAMMERED IT!"

Mac,

I don't have Direct TV, but I was listening when that caller chimed in. I understand that everyone gets short now and then, but I have to agree with spanky. Though I don't remember you calling him an idiot (I don't think you would do that), I was shocked at the way you cut him off and implied he didn't know how to use the guide, in an annoyed and demeaning way. That really came across as a Dan Bernstein like situation.

Everyone has their moments, and at the end, I dismissed it as Mac maybe being in a foul mood today or something.

My picture looked like crap too...

Then again, that's because the Cubs were on the screen. ;)

I never called the guy an idiot or came even close to doing that.

DirecTV Ch. 668 is NEVER in HD.

Len and Bob were on 668 from the first pitch Monday night.

Kevin Bacon playing the role of Captain Jack Ross in "A Few Good Men" uttered that line.

I "apologye" if you didn't actually use the word "idiot", but you treated him (and talked about him after you cut him off) as if he were. He simply stated that DirecTV provided the San Fran feed in HD last night instead of Len & Bob, and you immediately shot him down. You told him to learn how to use the guide feature in order to find the game on 668. Those sir, are actually "the facts".


BTW, I am shocked ( :shock: ) that a home entertainment "snob" such as yourself would ever stoop so low as to watch a game on a non-HD channel such as 668! :wink:

With lines like that, you'll never make it in this business.

I'm sorry should never be followed by the word 'but'.

Unless it's man alive honey, you've got a sorry looking butt...

Nicely played, Mac.

I like the show, and Jurko and Harry deserve any and all of the crap they get. If I want to hear hosts going off on callers for any and all thoughts, I'll flip to the large cranium w/ the larger ego down the dial.
