The victims are the American People and the Republic itself.

I'll answer the question. (Coast, you got that one, too)?

I am "pissy" because it seems nothing pleases a good number of you. I don't need the so-called ALS to convene regularly. I don't need rose petals tossed at my feet. I would love, however, the incessant whining over minutae to disappear.... or at least be diminished greatly.

Since I began reading these forums more than three years ago, Mike's reluctance to talk sports, his insistence on dated entertainment diversions, his lack of willingness to take direction, have been perhaps the most consistent theme Those issues were addressed and there weren't softballs lobbed at him. I told him I didn't believe that he orchestrated the Score's overhaul (and susbquent death) in August of '99. I believe, if I had the court reporter read it back to me (another one, Coast) my exact words were "You wore out the carpeting in the hallway leading into Harvey Wells' office. Nobody walked on air more than you did when those changes were made."

I called him out for the billboards excuse. I said being the highest rated Score morning show ever is a tall midget award.

Conversely, Mike hammered me for breaking a contract at the Score. And for my history of suspensions. And for being from Indiana.

It was give and take and mix it up. That's what makes it compelling/ That's what's been missing from Mike's show and your thousands of posts over the past three years validate that opinion.

More phone calls. Silly. Sometimes this baord reminds me of the scene in "Cuckoo's Nest" when Cheswick is complaining about having his cigarettes rationed and Scanlon wants to know why the drom doors sometimes are locked on the weekend. The mental defective league.... in formation, as McMurphy said.

Nope. I have never thought you were ever "pissy" and not today. Now, some of the guys on this board? They live pissy. On that point, we agree. I understand how some of the nonsense here can wear a guy down.

You and North had the kind of conversation I'd expect you two would have sharing a beer in a saloon. You are a couple of passionate guys with a history. It came off quite natural to me....well, as natural as any conversation with Pappy can be. You each got in your shots and digs at the other. And yes, I'd agree with you that it was "compelling" radio. Thumbs up.

This take is right on. If he was at ESPN he would not have been suspended - he would have been FIRED for the shit that he's done.

It's more fun to be a victim

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

Lets rename this the Danny Mac suckfest!

Walt enlighten us on what else you would have done?
