The segment they do on Mac's show for Fantasy Football, is the highest rated segment during the entire week during Football season. So obviously you don't know what you are talking about. Tapping into something as huge as FF has become (36 million participants) with some kinda operation similar to what ESPN does, should have been done years ago. Lets say you are right (for the sake of argument) about the convention being nothing more than a Star Trek convention for Jocks.....those conventions make lots of money. So whomever attends them, they are successful and make loads of money, so it remains an idea worth pursuing. Plus, it would get listeners who are into FF competition, more engaged with the station. Whenever a listener attends a remote or some other station event, it has to be a postive.

Here's something to chew on...let's just say that Charch calling from his mom's basement is the highest rated segment during the week. Here's a good reason. It's on at noon. Lotta people getting into their cars and tuning in for the 20 minutes that they have out of their office jails, and Charch is what they get. Personally, and I know quite a few who do this, when I hear it's time for Fantasy Football, I go out to lunch and listen to XRT or a cd or something.

The worst thing in the world is listening to one pretend GM talk about his pretend team.

Conventions make a ton of money. Cool. I don't dispute that. It also doesn't make for good radio.

No one cares who Mac took in the 7th round of his league draft, except for Mac, the rest of his league, and apparently you.

Live long and prosper, champ.

I love playing fantasy sports, but I could not agree with this more. One of my buddies has been the commissioner of a league for the last two years. It is a money league with a live draft at BW3, and I finished in second place both times. I absolutely love the concept of the live draft, but I will not be returning for a third season, because when I see these guys, this is all they want to talk about. I don't want to talk about FF non-stop when I'm hanging with the fellas. I can't even watch football on Sundays with these guys anymore. One guy stares at the computer screen, and gives everybody an update when someone on his team scores points, as if anybody cares. He doesn't even watch the games on TV. He smokes cigarettes, and stares at the computer.

Enough time passed the second that piece of ratshit got barbecued in his own plane fuel. Anyone who the day after he died didn't say he liked to drop in on his fans should have their kids anally raped.
