The term derives from a Maxim article that listed the 9 biggest "Wussbags" in baseball. The guys pointed out how weak Maxim was in not using a more direct term.

Good. I was concerned for a minute.

The bit was still lame. Mac sounded like he voted against it in the pre-show meeting, but was out-voted.

I'm trying to give these guys a chance, but bits like this make me quickly switch the station.

I like Mac, but this show is going downhill very rapidly. The dumbass parodies, letting Harry speak, the concept that they are smarter than everyone else and that it is their show and they don't give a damn about what anyone thinks. It is now starting to be as boring and stupid as the North show. 2 huge egos going down the drain.

I'm growing equally upset with both afternoon offerings. Bernsie attacking callers to Friday Fung, Terry with his Cubs peeps (who gave information that leaked the day of the fight), Mac's treatment of his producer and Harry's bad jokes. Jurko is about the only guy who I can stomach right now -- and that's not enough to keep me interested.

"Top Ten", "Best ____" or "Most _______" lists are a staple of sports talk radio, but it seems MJH are going to these bits more often than in the past. Earlier this week it was "most embarrassing moment". Their failure rate with these bits rivals that of the local bullpens. But these bits have lit up the phones like Christmas trees for others. I don't suspect it's any North influence as much as it is more LJC/Mike and Miking of the Afternoon Saloon.

Unlike this board, MJH can't really get into an enlightning debate about seat belt laws with SID without breaking format.

The Chicago sports landscape is pretty barren right now.

J Hood is like fingernails on a chalkboard to me.

And Mac thinks Hood is funny.

Blech.

I agree with mustang. Both of our baseball teams are in the toliet and bears preseason is still too far away. I mean how much interesting radio can you get about trying to fix the Sox or the Cubs or some national crap?
