I'm a big dumb shitlib baby

He's a narcissist justifying his own behavior to himself and casting off all blame for what has happened to him via an enabler. End of story.

The future holds the possibility to be great or terrible, and since it has not yet occurred it remains simultaneously both.

I don't find it hard to believe that he was never given feedback regarding his performance. This happens all the time in Corporate America. Unless the success of the company directly affects you (i.e. you are the owner or a large stakeholder), there's not a ton of incentive to be honest with people about how they suck.

It's important to remember that for the bad breaks Jason has had in his career (a hostile PD in Atlanta gunning for him, an old AM1000 guy tearing up the lineup to get Mac back in), he has also had remarkable fortune in failing up. There aren't a lot of people in this business who go from evenings in Atlanta to middays in Chicago because something went wrong. There aren't a lot of people who get internships after they quit broadcasting school.

Are you surprised by how much blame he's put on Dan? I think he even said something about how hard he prepares, and if the show fails, it'll never be for his lack of preparation, which is an obvious shot at the guy who thinks he could be a physician with a law degree if he tried hard but for sports talk radio never has to take it out of first gear. And yeah, a lot of the show's failure is Dan's fault, but all the preparation in the world doesn't mean much if the preparation is about the Utah Jazz and you don't live in Salt Lake City.

Goff was talking about how he doesn't want to be the reason other black hosts won't get a shot in the business, because "how many people have you told that if you talk about something that's important to you....", just completely refusing to take ownership of his programming and demeanor as a host—people owed him listenership because he cared about SJW issues and berating people with his luxury car lease?

Also, he said right after that "because we [Bernstein & Goff] were successful, with a lot of head winds in our face."

YOU PISSED AWAY THE IN-DEMO RATINGS LEAD GIFTED TO YOU BY BOERS & BERNSTEIN. YOU DIDN'T WIN ANYTHING. YOU LOST.

Didn't Goff brag about his lack of show prep during Spiegel and Goff? I thought Spiegel wanted to do show prep, Goff wanted to wing it, and Speigel occasionally voiced his displeasure with that on the air.

Yeah but he’s “ earned “ that stuff whereas Mac and everyone else has had that stuff gifted to them by the good old boy network

This business is definitely not a meritocracy. Patrick Mannelly wasn't sending out demo tapes for years.

lol, man, Mitch gave a four-hour midday show to Patrick Mannelly.

Dan and Jason bullied their audience. They thought they had a license to talk down to and dismiss people on a daily basis, even to the point of telling them to PTFB. It's rare to see people like this get their comeuppance. Imagine being a fly on the wall when they got the news. Of course Jason is distraught, but did he learn anything or is going to double down on the B&G persona the next time?

Frankly, I always thought that Jason should have been left in mornings to tailor his show and voice.

Instead of becoming Terry as Bernstein would have envisioned him.

Yeah that stuff is true. I hated the holier than though stuff whether it comes from liberals or the religious right.

But in that podcast, Goff was talking about a lot of struggles beyond the job where he even said he might need therapy. So from a purely humanistic perspective, I feel for the guy.

My problem with Goff, who for the most part I don't mind, was his insistence (that he often verbalized on the air) that he was going to do it his way and not change. I get there's a level of self-confidence you need to succeed in your career, but for someone that didn't have the background and education in broadcasting, that just seemed like a terrible career decision.

Honestly, after listening to that thing, someone should hire Goff to do a show focused on social issues and sports. You pair him with a like minded female.

If you hate Laurence, then don't listen - don't comment. When he co-hosts the B&B show, take that day off ... listen to an old podcast of a Bernstein solo show and jerk off all day.

The show sucked and Dan had more pull at the station. Now Dan’s new show sucks even worse and McKnight will get the axe. Dan isn’t going anywhere.

I'd believe Dan is next in line to get the ax. McDoink is like a Dan Bernstein clone that's Good At Twitter, and also comes incredibly cheap. Bernstein better start getting funny again or he's gone, I think.

He's been so unfunny for so long I think that ship has sailed.

On a side note, Parkins is great. He’s made me like Mac, and I never was a fan of Mac.

There are venues for discussing that type of stuff where it is more structured with dedicated time devoted to a given topic rather than the haphazard nature of sports talk radio.

He was a damn near perfect foil on B&B.

Are you stoned or pissed off, or both, when you create these postings?
