Cutler, Mac or Rose?

I heard a rumor that Danny Mac is agitating for a move, but he doesn't wanna formally hand in a transfer request because he's got a 500k "loyalty bonus" clause in his contract. If he were to hit the market though, both WGN.FM and Real Madrid are said to be interested, with the latter clamoring to get an American announcer to pair with Gareth Bale in the hopes of selling more kits stateside.

However, my sources also hear that Score mgmt is a bit displeased with Mac, so a loan to Crystal Palace might be on the books. Can you imagine calling Tony Pulis games for the rest of the season? Methinks it'd be a painful lesson for Mac to learn.

yeah, it is quite English actually.... methinks Zizou/KR73/boyd will get the soccer jokes in that, so i confess to writing for an esoteric audience there. my bad.

if it makes you feel better biggie i went on the old kingbubba board this morning to !!!! over bubba the love sponge up and posting a giant cock on his twitter feed (which amazingly twitter doesn't feel the need to censor with that box saying "this tweet contains sensitive material that might be NSFW or children click here to proceed".... even tho a picture of two porno-looking-whores in titty shirts gets that treatment you CAN'T STOP THE COCK!) i ended up posting 1.5 paragraphs and some dude over there was asking me for cliff's notes.

seriously man, twitter has indelibly shaped the landscape of internet communication in that everyone expects the entriety of your message to fit in 150 characters or less.... and you can give me some crap like "i don't have time/desire/etc to read all that babble" but still, that's by and large social conditioning wrought by the powers that be playing the oscars/grammy wrap it up music on all of our peasant thoughts in the wake of VERY. SMART. RICH. AND. FAMOUS. PEOPLE. needing more space to hock their wares.

i heard unofficially that him and ben finfer are working on a backroom deal to bring a morning sports and money talk show to indiana


If Mac really is shopping himself he will make sure Finfer is his partner. But I think it's gonna be tough for Mac. I think stations will be scared to touch him. Fair or not. That's the way it is.


Finfer should have been Macs choice as his partner instead of Spiegel. Addiction ruins lives & careers. Not sure if that is the case with Mac, but it certainly could be. And yea, many PD's wont touch him given his problems & the fact that he is a drama queen diva.

Is Ben Finfer the guy who sounds like Kermit The Frog?

Why would anyone want him on the radio full time?

I don't know about all that.

He and Finfer are terrible for the same reasons he and Meat are terrible. They kiss his ass. He needs somebody he either is challenged by or likes as a peer, not an underling.

If you think about it, Mac gave Jurko and Spiegel talks shows in the Chicago market. Neither would have been hired without Mac.

Finfer could be next if Mac has one more run in him.

Mac: Workin' on it.

Finfer: :cheers:

If Mac gets healthy and is ready to go ... Mac, [fill in the blank], and Harry seems like a formality at this stage. Especially once WGN buys either 97.9 or 101.1 and has WGN.fm on the actual FM airwaves.

Maybe Finfer and/or a second younger option as the other co-host. WGN has paired a new person just about everyday with Harry since his show started about a month ago, so maybe it will be one of them.

The only question is WHEN can he be on the air again? I eagerly await some alternative to the current options.
