Hey Mac,

Love the show. Will you guys ever recognize MMA as a legit sport and perhaps even discuss it on the show. Even if you are not interested or dislike it, maybe you could have an occasional telephone interview before an event to cater to the many of us that are fans. It's no longer pit fighting from days ago, but is arguably the fastest growing sport there is. Your network has it on its website and television channel. Why not break new ground?

My apologies if you have discussed this already.

Thanks,
Al

Yeah ...And after that an hour of the almanc and Jurko vs. Harry with all Bulls questions and a Sunday night John Segment and to top it off Harry does the 6:00 o'clock hour solo.

Mac will enjoy the view from the White Castle drive thru helping the elderly swipe their debit card at the window.

Welcome Al. You were a program director at one point correct?

Mac this man is absoultely ight about MMA. While you work on that let me also request respectfully that you cover some teatherball, maybe? I mean, it's played on every school yard across America. It's not only one of the best known sports in our country, but also one that any 4-12 year old can play at recess, much like our friend Al here. Teatherball will become a major market sport, appearing on the front pages of publications like the Joan Cusak Middle School Inquirer, and the Wacky Sports Clip show that they have during rain delays. Please help break new ground with some interviews with the players, like Jimmy "Gumball" Swatsabell, the MVP of the 3rd grade Teatherball team at Joan Wilder Elementry. I think you'll add tons of new listeners.

Sorry if you've discussed this already,

Love the show, Great job Guys and Keep up the good work, I am a huge fan and that Harry is almost as funny as the dickens. Almost.

Thanks,
Darkside.

Al,
MMA can't even get a section from BigFan on CSFMB.
Keep hope alive, my cheddar clad friend.
Maybe that's what the 4 p.m. tease is all about.

Dear Mac,
Long time listener, first time poster. I have been giving this a lot of thought and I think I know what the problem is. You guys should really have a segment about Rugby. It is a massive up and coming sport. I mean, really- Argentina has suffered another high-profile casualty on the eve of the World Cup. José María Nuñez Piossek has succumbed to a groin injury and is replaced by Martín Aramburu. You guys could talk about that for a whole show!

IRB Chairman Dr. Syd Millar has written a letter to RWC teams reminding them of disciplinary responsibilities during the event, particularly with regard to dissent and to maintain the old principles of "fair play, mateship and respect".

That is just like steroids! Mac- I am really onto something here!

Sorry if yuo have discussed this already,
Thanks
HHJ

Hey Mac,

I have previously asked for coverage of my Saturday morning Flag Football league over in Rogers Park at Pratt and Western. But now that I see guys are hoping to get air time for minor sports, I'm wondering if you wouldn't mind talking up some of my Gnip-Gnop and Zim-Zam contests against my little nieces and nephews. What do you say? There's also some hotly contested pickup horseshoe being played at Warren Park on a regular basis. Something else to consider, I guess....

Dude, you're only 43. We all know that 43 is the new 27, or something like that.

Pure Bloodsport. Something you can only cheer from the safe distance of total ignorance.


Or ignorant hypocrisy.
