Jurko would be a HUGE upgrade from Candypants. Mac & Jurko would be a much better show than Mac & Spiegel. Finfer would be good as a 3rd.

This is the same Ben Finfer who is the current retarded brother on the Mac and Spiegs show? Where is your evidence of him being "good?" Finfer has ZERO charisma and can't relate to any carbon-based life form. He inspires neither love nor hate or even fucking ambivalence. It's just like...ugh. He makes me say "ugh." Kermit the Annoying Virgin. He's more dorkier than Larry, has a more annoying voice than Spiegs and is only in a position to be on a show because he's spent ten years washing Mac's balls and polishing his knob. You might as well attach your speakers to a piece of sheetrock and listen to the audio of gypsum mashed between sheets of paper. I'd put 10 SHARKS, 8 Mini Ditkas, and an NSJ on a radio show before Finfer.

They can't afford Jurko. No money in middays. Fatpants costs them next to nothing.

In case you have not seen the way of Radio, they dont just not renew your deal. They send you away when you dont expect it.

In other words, if Jurco was not being made offers, he would be off the air, NOW

I think ESPN stays the same ESPN show with or without Jurco. The letters bring people in. Its a national brand.

However, his addition to WSCR would boost everything up another notch.

JURCO IN THE MORNING!

I think Mac recently said on here that his deal was thru next June.

The Score can most certainly afford Jurko. Maybe Mac & Jurko move to afternoons?

Mac is under contract. Earlier today Meat said that he is "going on vacation next week & who knows after that", with a chuckle, indicating that his deal runs out the end of July. It certainly sounded like the end of the line for the Candy Man. This Friday would probably be his last day at the Score. If he isn't renewed before he goes on vacation, I highly doubt that Mitch will resign him after he returns, but that is certainly wishful thinking on my part. The fact that Mac has neither defended Meat or said a word about him here is very telling.
Who else would be a possible partner for Mac? Does anyone think that it might be...it could be...HARRY?

Thanks for the answer. It seems strange timing for Mac's post about his options with a year remaining, but maybe it's not strange at all.

It is also very possible that Mac goes to WGN radio as part of a possible shift towards more sports programming at 720.

I just had the same thought. Honestly, that would still be better that Mac & Meat.

I hope you guys are right. I originally thought there was a chance meat was getting shit canned or re-assigned to part time weekends or something. I had lost that feeling until reading some of this today. I listened to the second half of their show today and it was tolerable though it seemed like they were borderline mocking shane matthews for being a backup. It reminded me of when the princess was putting his entire foot and leg in his mouth talking to the the USA hockey alum. Then that god damn whining about the goal posts peg started up again....and then show pot bitching..... It's time for the princess to pack his shit and move along.

Meatpants will sign a one year deal to end when Mac's does.

Jurko is gonna re up at ESPN and move back to afternoons with Silvy when Waddle leaves.

I heard that Waddle will be the new Bears/Football expert on channel 7, but haven't heard anything about him leaving AM1000. I know that his house is for sale, but if he was moving to the NFL Network full time, he wouldn't be getting the channel 7 gig.

I was told by a person in the know that The SCORE is not interested in bringing in Jurko. It's already been broached and its not happening.

WSCR management sucks. the SCORE could own this city if they had a clue. but as long as the ratings are OK, they just keep putting out the S.O.S.

I don't know, man, you just seem to be "in the know" on a lot of things around here.

A real "Deep Throat," around these parts.

Mac Jurko & Terry would be my dream line-up, but they probably skew too elderly for the local programming geniuses vis-a-vis the desired audience demographics. That plus Scorehead's insanely high rate of accuracy in his predictions over the years (or just his predictions about Meat) makes me think that ain't gonna happen.

I don't like Jurko. He's not a dumb guy, but he goes too far out of his way to act like one for his radio persona. He doesn't have to be useless, but IMHO he adds nothing to the shows he's been on.

You're right about the demographics. But the younger guys at Der Schnore are terrible. None are a compelling listen and most have zero personality. They just give information and talk about shit I can already figure out on my own or get from the internet. You need to have an edge to get people to listen. Be amusing, be a down to earth guy or excel at enraging people. I'd take the older crew over the semi-educated vegetables that are McKnight and Ostrowski. Larry is better than those two.
