Let's say the Score could only keep one host, and it was decided on fan vote. Like a Survivor Island, Loser Leaves Town match or whatever. Who would you keep and why? I'd take Mac. I think he's a lot funnier, and overall more entertaining. He gets what sports radio is supposed to be. Characters questions are valid when building a franchise around him though. |

If it was strictly on sports knowledge and ability to format a show Bernstien. On who I like to listen to because he talks about more than sports and does it in an enjoyable way that takes my mind off my problems,Mac So I vote for Mac |

Anyway, we all know the Dans will go 1,2 Who goes 3rd? Hood, Goff, and Rosenbloom are on my board. |

Bernstein just due to the variety of topics that he can discuss. I mean the way he switches from Penn State football to child molestation on a daily basis is outstanding. The range that he has shown in the past 5 months is incredible. |

True but his intangibles easily overcome that. Take the past two weeks for example. With no NFL or NBA news really pressing headlines, Mac is able to take any topic, or usually a variety of them, and still make an entertaining show. That's where his comedy range is a huge plus. Bernstein is stuck doing self-important Penn St garbage because he doesn't know what else to do. Friday Fung has been one of B&B's best segment the past month because it feels like a segment Mac would do. |

That's a positive for me. I would keep Mac. I cant listen to Berns anymore. I honestly don't know how anyone can be such a prick to others 24-7. If I have to choose co-hosts, that would be Boers hands down. Spiegel sucks. |

Im wondering if he will ever see significant air time again. Theres a group of us that seem like big fans, but it seems like he isnt getting a shot. I'd take Connor pretty high. He has a higher ceiling than almost any of the guys left. If Im drafting third though I go safe and take Goff because he has the highest floor. But Im not thrilled with it. |

True and Bernstein does have holes in his game too (college sports, hockey), just not as gaping. Mac also has the T.O. factor. Suspensions are to be expected. |

I'd be willing to say that Mac has a broader appeal, but Dan has more loyal fans. |

And the Josh Hamilton factor. Need a reliable sponsor. I'm not even hating. Anyone who has dealt with drug people knows how it is. |

Id probably take Conor with the third or fourth overall (knowing it might take a few years for devolopment) |

I would take Brian Paruch over many of the current hosts, too. |

Im taking Finfer as producer. Im hoping he doesnt have any on-air ambitions soon and he is clever and good with drops/sound bites and great in the EP role. Been a big fan of his work since MJH. |

I picture you as more of a Bernsie guy. |

rogers park bryan wrote: Really? SHARK speaks McNeilian I know he likes to repeat some of his phrases, sometimes to his detriment("Rex Grossman with a ring"), but he seems much more committed to B&B news than Mac news. I didn't think that was because of Boers. |

Like combining the BRick and IMU leftovers. Yikes. True, but I think the point is their positive qualities easily outweigh their negative qualities both in degree and in frequency. If you accumulated all their positive and negative traits into one you'd still have a pretty phenomenal host. |
