I'm bored and so is Mac.

-Bulls?
-Cubs?
-Lottery talk
-Finfer says unfunny things
-Lots of Bears.
-Definite Tim Beckman talk.


I dunno, listen or don't.

We got Baseball talk already too.

Guaranteed to hear 2 parodies this morning. The one for ProFootballTalk/NBC Sports.com's Mike Florio @ 10A to Them's "Gloria" & CSNC's Mark Schanowski to The Knack's "My Sharona" @ 11A. Don't ask...

Mac is so fucking stubborn and I love it.

Good show so far, boys!

Nothing like having Chicago's best sports talk on from 9-1!

So I'm curious if, since Matt said he would likely vote for Bonds and Clemens as they would seem to have had HoF careers pre-steroids (et al), I wonder if he would also then vote for Pete Rose, since he most assuredly had a HoF career long before he bet on baseball.

Not a complaint, just wondering if the transative property would apply. I also eliminate the fact that Pete himself signed away his eligibility (which is my only problem with him being voted in to this point) simply as a way to streamline the argument.

(He may already be on the record one way or the other, I don't happen to know though)

Good question. I would imagine this is one of those 'pick and choose' type deals and thus comes down to how you personally feel about a player.

I am going to give this 45 minutes. I usually listen but feel like music a bit more today.

I've always liked Mac & Spiegs, and I think this show has gotten much tighter and cohesive the last year or so. They have some pretty good regular guests and they're decent interviewers. Also, I might be the only one here who likes Finfer. I think the guy is solid.

I totally agree. Best show on the station which isn't saying much but on its own it's really good...most of the time.

Good guests, decent interviews, good flow and solid non-sports talk. It's a good sports talk show.

I wish they'd let Boomer do all the Sports Minutes. This last one about the player that replaced a less fortunate families stolen presents even warmed my cold, black heart a little.

I'm with you guys on the bandwagon. I like the guests and segments and non-sports talk. Only thing I
PTFB for is fantasy football talk but I see why they do it. Are they really having Cutler on today? I am only
half listening so thought I caught that.

Nah, I like Finfer. After noticing pretty much everyone else hates him, that was my impetus for creating the drinky vs finfer poll.

I wish a sports radio station would have an interview with Paul Giamatti the next time he is on the movie plugging circuit and slip in a question about whether his dad ever talked to him about his Pete Rose investigations.

I answered my own Cutler question. They are covering the presser. I am getting way too much work done
today, I should have caught that. Had no idea the Giamatti's were father and son Dolphin. Thanks for the
interesting nugget. Hard to believe but I think Paul actually got the good looks on that deal.

Baby talk is fun.

The Boers comment about him sounding like a babbling baby was funny though.

I was serious. I enjoyed hearing Spiegs and Zawaski talk about their kids.

I guess some players really do have a hard-on for certain matchups.

Didn't realize that Tributo was doing The Band next week. Too bad it is a Wed. night.

Oh man....

Anyways, Mac telling Speigs he doesn't know shit about music? If it isn't ELO or BTO Mac doesn't want anything to do with it.

I actually like listening to Meat talk music.

It means 2 things. One, Spiegs' band is playing on my birthday. Two, Finfer sits in w/Mac next Thursday.

Yup. Unfortunate comments by Mac regarding The Band. It's just an opinion. Sometimes you wish one's opinion was a bit more informed.

You should go to the show SHARK
