Really?? Other than to get in touch with a couple dozen people on a website that only matters to those people, what has it done for Finfer professionally? I believe the site is a useful tool by which the radio hosts can get some feedback about their broadcasts, but that's about it. Most don't bother because I'm guessing they don't value the opinions offered up here.

Ben,

Has there ever been a moment when Bobcat Goldthwait was funny?

Bobcat is brilliant. An awesome comedian who had to use a weird niche to catch on. When he normals up, he's great

You answered your own question. I'd wager ratings compose 95% of the way their performance is judged. I wonder how much a hosts radio mechanics are addressed. I mean, it's been how many years and Mully still takes 5 minutes to ask a question?

C'mon guys, give Steve a break. He is just upset because Mac's right hand man Finfer, said that he is just another caller. His world is shattered.

What do you think the average listenership is on a Finfer weekend radio gig? I'd bet it is a few thousand. If you can turn the tide on opinion and garner say 5% of new listeners while expending no money and very effort, I'd call that a smart move.

Most of this guys washing your balls in this thread probably said you sucked before you started posting again. Don't worry, I still think you suck. There's a reason you've been behind the scenes for over a decade. You're got no personality. Zero. I'd rather listen to mold grow. Get off my radio. Go splice some Caddyshack and Slap Shot sound clips together.

Why would I splice Caddyshack and Slap Shot clips together? That makes no sense. You suck more.


Because you're Mac's little bitch. When your daddy says "jump" you respond "how high?" You would have no shot at anything in this business if you didn't become his prag at ESPN. I've yet to hear any original, interesting or amusing thoughts from you. No one is clamoring to hear what you have to say. You need some kind of edge to be a successful radio host. People like Mac, Bersntein, and Boers have (or had at some time) that edge. You've got nothing. You are meant to be a behind the scenes guy. To be never heard from. Please, we already have to suffer with the whiny Spiegs, a Mac who doesn't give a shit anymore, a half-dead Boers and a derailed Bernstein. Don't add to the pool of mediocrity.

P.S. Don't trust a word from people on this site. They might kiss your ass now but they'll turn on you in a second if you don't validate their lives with an occasional appearance.

If anybody had Zizou as the person to get into a pissing match with a radio person, please tell me your numbers for the Powerball tomorrow.

In all honesty, I would've expected that long before the Regular Reader attack.


Fair enough.

But, given that Finfer has come here, addressed some concerns/criticisms fairly directly and as Dolphin has suggested, perhaps will incorporate them into his on air efforts, I'll certainly give him another listen or two. My general "attack" remains intended at most of the younger guys trying to break into on air roles at the Score (not to mention a few horrid "starters"), not just Finfer. Although, the degree(& prime times) to which he's been on, made him my primary target.

But fwiw, him responding has earned him a measure of respect in my book. And I'd love to see him succeed. I'm too damned old to hate.... :wink: :lol:

If you think about it though, Mitch probably didn't find out about til around midday, at which point it was to late to pull the plug on Monday's show.

Notice how quiet Ben has gotten.

'Course Regular Reader may have Tall Midgeted him from the board.

So, how did you talk Beardown into getting you the password?

Can the show please reduce the Tecmo Super Bowl talk? To nerd out for a video game when 5/6 of your audience has no idea what you're talking about is horrible.
