There are a handful of comments I want to address in some recent threads. These are interesting times -- contracts expiring, at least one radio station potentially restructuring, firings. Could be an interesting summer. Then again, perhaps nothing will change anywhere. I gave up predicting the radio business a long time ago.

Anyway.... fire away. I'll get on it after Sunday's Hawks-Wings tilt at The Joe.

What are your thoughts on the Westminster Dog poisoning scandal?

You haven't been suspended in a long time. Why don't you knock bernstein's teeth out?

1.) Do you still covet the afternoon drive-time slot?

2.)In your opinion, what does ESPN need to do to make themselves competitive again in the Chicago radio market? I seem to think they have the talent but the pieces simply aren't in the right place, that and the ESPNing of the shows hurts at times.

3.)Why is BernSTINE such a raging douchebag when it comes to his dealings with Schuster? Danny B. did it again today at the end of the show when Schuster was giving his opinion on the whole "Upper Body Injury" thing with Crawford.

Anyways, thanks for playing with us.

Which NHL franchise should relocate to Quebec?

Which NFL franchise should relocate to L.A.?

If you could contract 4 MLB franchises (not Cubs nor W.Sox) which would you choose & why?

If you were approached by the station to change cohosts in a host/scheduling restructuring, would you dig in or be open to a change?

Since you shotgunned Zaidman (quite deservedly so might I add), he's been doing his Zaidman Minutes recorded on your show. Is this because he is mad at you? If so, wouldn't you say it's time for him to stop being such a vagina?
If not what's the deal then?

My opinion is that he is a gingerass twat.

Also, since you're going to read this thread, allow me to apologize for what my wife said to you on the roof of Nellies at the Macaversary... :lol:

Does Spiegs's work ethic piss you off? He obviously rather be in the music business, then the radio business. Most of the time it seems like he is just doing the sports thing to get the check.

What in the world do you see in Spiegel that no one else does? When exactly does Jurko replace him?

when are you going to be able to say Swamp Donkey again?

when are you going to get rid of that drama -queen Spiegel and bring in Jurko so you can have fun doing your show again?

since you like to bet public chalks when are you going to play at a book that offers overnite lines so you can bet before the line moves against you?

Spiegal often comes off as a guy who constantly wants to be seen as a good guy. A guy that is politically correct to a point where it comes off as disingenuous. Plus the way he chose to explain how he had to give up the Baseball show he did previously on weekends, to spend more quality time with Rueben, came off like a guy trying to prove something to the world about how he's a really good dad. Is it tiresome to work with someone who is always seemingly seeking approval???

How many times does Meatpants takes sides on an issue with Mac, where he tries to make himself come off as the better man? Where he somehow has the more enlightened and evolved point of view? I can't be the only one that has taken notice of this.

No you are not alone. I hear the same insecurity/condescension/superiority.

Mac, I do think Spiegel is a good fit with you. It took a while, but I think you two have good chemistry. That said, it's been pretty obvious that Matt has been progressively becoming a real douche. From his "part timer" shot at Abbatacola to his flat out insulting comment to Jack O'Callahan this week, he seems to be the classic egomaniac with an inferiority complex. Have you noticed this? Does it bother you? Or are you like us here and you actually like watching this slow meltdown?

Alright, let's address this for the record.

"Mac vs. Goff". Don't deny it, Mac. You'd only be insulting CSFMB's collective intelligence (We have some dummies, but I push the scale to smart). You made some comments on this board about Goff. We heard a few on air confrontations. Goff certainly took his shots at you disguised in that weird "Da Ma Na" thing.

You didn't get along with him, right? You didn't like a B&B producer - a lower ranking employee - insulting you, correct? You felt you deserved more respect, right? Especially since you allowed him to sub on your show. You did, in fact, fire Goff from your show when you decided that Finfer would be Spiegel's full time replacement, correct? Hell, Goff even made some snide comments about being off your show on B&B before he went to Atlanta. So he knew it. You had taken enough from him and that's why that decision was made, right?. Dan McNeil, DID YOU ORDER THE CODE RED?

It's OK to admit it. Nobody will think less of you. I would have been offended by him if I were in your shoes as well. I would have axed him long before you did. You were a saint for taking it as long as you did.

Just exactly how many High School buddies have you seen naked?

NEWSFLASH: Dollar shaveclub is a ripoff. They are sending out DORCO products.
Just go to http://www.dorcousa.com. I just got 30 4 blade razors and 3 razor blades for 33 bucks-free shipping.
