While Speigs was talking about this Cowboy Coward guy coming in to face Mac's Show and kind of gloating, Mac chimed (a few times) in with "Tomorrow is promised to no one". I see a Jurko in Mac's future.

Just as telling . Doesnt rule out anything, qualifies working with Candy with the "when he's in a good mood" line. Couple that with his praise for Finfer, in this reporters opinion he would like to see a Jurko Mac and Finfer show.

Spiegs followed up with "especially July and August" not being promised to anyone.

We can only hope that Spiegel will be replaced by Jurko. I knew Meatpants was a lousy choice as Macs partner, but he has become worse & more Douchey.

If this is your prediction, then I am going to say that Spiegal gets a 10-year contract.

Not a prediction, but a wish. Spiegel sucks. I would like to see him replaced by Jurko, & it sounds like many others would too.
If you like him, that's fine.

I think he's awful, but I'm not a fan of Mac either.

Your predictions are just usually wrong, so that's why I made a prediction of my own.

I'm tired of hearing about his son Ruben (sp)... That being said, Jurko brings nothing to the table either. He sounds like the d-bag from the Rosen car commercial to me.

I feel as majority of this board is in the MAC army...i don't hate or love him, more "meh".....I do like Jurko though, he's a funny cat....Spiegs isn't bad, but no way he survives the addition of a Jurko to that show specifically, it'd tinowitz the hell out of him

Thats been wearing on me too. Too much talk about the kid. It strikes me as odd that Spiegal took time off while the show is in Arizona where Baseball's spring training is taking place. He promotes himself as this big Baseball guy, yet chooses NOT to go to spring training where some good stories might be unearthed. He says he wanted to take time off to be with Reuben, yet spending time with Reuben is not an issue when considering whether to take a trip to Ireland on Jamesons dime and go drink copius amounts of whiskey. Comes off as phoney. I thought Spiegal was pretty weak when he first started with Mac. He deferred to Danny and was afraid to challenge him too often.Then, he got stronger and I thought he improved significantly as Mac's second. But now, it's the opposite. he tries much too often to show how he's more enlightened and evolved and therefore superior and it grates on me. It's the Danny Mac show, whether the name of the show was changed or not and he should never forget it. I have yet to talk to anyone that tunes into the show for Matt Spiegal. They tune in to listen to Mac, because he's the best sports talker in Chicago.

Go Cubs!!!!

I was listening to most of the show yesterday and I noticed a few things.

1. Listening to the radio and not the stream is infinitely better. The stream commercials with flo every 5 fucking seconds are as awful as awful can be. The radio commercials weren't that awful and i didn't have to ptfb every time they came on.

2. There was good energy to the show. No condescending smarm....just genuine excitement and positive sports energy.

3. They were interviewing Len and were able to discuss GG Allen and have it not be the most disgusting conversation of the day......that award went to them discussing the candyman shitting himself or damn near shitting himself again the other day.

4. Candyman called in and seemed at ease and was enjoying himself enough to call the guys up and chat for a minute. He seemed a lot different when he was on the air because he wanted to be and not because he had to be. His future should be as a fill in and a baseball "expert??"

Mac, Jurko and Finfer will be a fine after noon drive show come August.

I've been very "meh" on the Mackeyfish and his show since he returned to the Score. Most of it is Spiegel's huckster Sav Macauley gameshow host voice that oozes smarm and his prison bitch personality. But I also think Mac is just mailing it in. He's not at the Boers level of not giving a shit but he's slowly working his way there. I've said it before. He has no reason to go balls out at his job now. He re-established himself in Chicago at 1000 with MJH. Now he's comfortable and has no competition that he has to prove he is better than.

“Been that way since one monkey looked at the sun and told the other monkey ‘He said for you to give me your fuckin’ share.’”

At first glance, I can't imagine Jurk and Mac talking national baseball and NBA (successfully). Then again, somehow it wasn't an issue when they had Harry.

He has always been a little disingenuous about hanging around with his kid. A newborn is like hanging around with a rock. They are awake for a little while at a time and really are just awake to eat or get a diaper change. Your presence is irrelevant beyond those two chores yet he acted like there was causing psychological scarring with every minute he was not around his child.

They're precious. Cherish those diaper changes.

Seems more like the ol' "I've got a wife and newborn at home, it's like a war-zone when I come home, and I'm in some shit if I'm out of town too much"-type decision. So, he probably had to choose one trip over the other and went with the sponsor trip.

+1.

Funny, though, how Speigs backs away from using that voice when Mac's not there, or when he did H&R with Seacrest - when he's with Mac, it's almost like he's trying to hard to be "smartass clever", instead of being The Sidekick.

I have actually been listening to the show more as of late, and enjoy it for the most part, but if Mac replaced Speigs with Jurko (or Finfer, or CDF), I wouldn't shed a tear.

That would be awesome. I know I'm in the minority on this one, but I hope Finfer gets a regular slot next to Mac.

kinda seeing Mac Spiegs and Jurko happening. Which is fine actually. Jurko is great but really short on sports expertise. A perfect fun buffer between Mac and Spiegs.

Oddly, I recall Jurko fading out during the MJH years. His popping up and being a newly re-energized voice should not be a given.
