Regardless, it will be entertaining. I hope they DONT take his words to heart. That would be better.
It almost sounds as if you prefer the clones to Mac. Which is cool, some guys are all sports.
I haven't probably done a good job of clarifying what I mean. I don't mean to speak for the clones , and I'm not necessarily a fan of them and not of Mac. I'm sort of a paradox in that I accept all the board's criticisms of Bernstein, and have contributed to some myself, but I will listen to his show first when there's enough going on that interests me. I will tune in to Mac as well.
My issue with the infatuation with Mac is that it turns logic upside down. Why should a host who has occasionally admitted he's not into this or that sport be adored for admitting so when his job is nevertheless to engage those very sports irrespective of his personal feelings? That's why I brought up the pilot example. I don't care if you don't like flying, it's your damn job, so do it. I think he's guilty of leveraging his likeability to obscure the fact that he's a slacker when it comes to everything outside of the Blackhawks and a few other sports or hobbies. In what other profession can you openly sneer at some of the duties of your job and win support and admiration for doing so?
I'm sure there's a lot to admire about Mac, just not much between 9-1 these days.
Alonzo Mourning was a bad NBA player at the end.
If he had advice for a young post player, they should still listen.
