That fat Irish bastard is the one who always talks about commitment to excellence. I think he's getting too comfortable. He's got the trophy wife. The 600,000 thousand dollar deal.

I've noticed lately that he just recites the same old story and the show is lacking originality. There just going through the motions.

I need to inform you she loved me when I only was earning 300K a year.

Thanks for having my back, GD. My co-workers will ridicule me for responding, but for the second time, this board as struck a nerve and some of you need some enlightenment.
The first response was regarding my absence following Game 4 of the WS. I was sincere in my apology and I promise you I still regret it, but that horse has left the barn and I can't bring it back.

1. Work ethic. Quick, tell me which host in town has spent the most time training and nurturing his production staff or working in concert with the sales department? It's the same one who is the only host who arrives at the station an average of three hours before his air shift begins. My show is in the front of my mind - not the back - 24/7.

2. Travel budget. I'm paying for the trip to Hawaii to reward four very skilled and dedicated teammates. I also pay for a percentage of our expensive meals/bar bills when we travel to keep corporate off our backs. Suggesting I milk the travel budget for every dime is the dumbest thing I've read on this board and that's a statement.

3. Vacation and sick days. I get five weeks vacation a year, five sick days and five personal days. The next time I use all of those days in ANY category will be the first time. If you're envious because you only get two weeks, I can't help you. Come work with me, and maybe you'll earn a working vacation in Hawaii.

4. Trophy wife. I'm flattered if you think she's pretty. She is, but I need to inform you she loved me when I only was earning 300K a year.

Keep the posts coming; they're very entertaining. I'm a lot of things - impatient, insensitive, a bully, stubborn, sometimes selfish - I grant you all of that, but one thing I've never been and never will be is a mail-it-in, check-cashing, pussy. My record speaks for itself. Thanks for listening, and for entertaining me as much as my gang of bandits and I entertain you.

For anyone to question Mac's work ethic, when you have a slug like North in town polluting the airwaves with misinformation, is just rediculous.

Calling McNeil lazy and complacent is certainly unwarranted. The production is excellent, the content is comprehensive (most of the time.) The amount of sports info in Mac's head is sickening. Gives me an impression that he spent his entire life in a TV room with a bunch of screens hooked up to show every single game played.

My only knock on the show is that it's just too scripted, planned, timed, and rehearsed. I have to say, from listening to MJH regularly since the first days MVP streamed (crapfests like The Wiseguys and the Dick Telander Show featuring angry Hood and napping Buffone helped a great deal) I went back to SCR as soon as B&B went to afternoons.

Just an opinion, Mac. The Good Kid and Tiny bring the show down by playing their "roles." This whole image they are trying to portray is tiring. The segment titles are watered down. "Thumbs up, thums down?" WTF, Mac, is this a sports talk show or a Siskel and Ebert on sports? I get it, you're on the top of the ratings and inclined to do everything the same way that got you there which is fine. Just offering my thoughts as a long time full time sports radio listener hoping to have choices in compelling sports talk radio programming.
