I remember something about that, not sure about the details, but I am fairly sure they had to stop transition because his feelings got hurt.

It’s understood that when discussing matters of preference that people—on any subject—will often disagree.

Sometimes, though, someone voices an opinion that is so egregious and disconnected from reality, that it makes it tough to value any of their other thoughts.

Mac’s (seemingly) genuine belief that McDoink is a true on-air talent, who is capable of making compelling radio while also cultivating a relationship with a large base of listeners, is one of those opinions that are so off kilter that I can’t take any of his other opinions seriously as it pertains to evaluating all things radio.

Aside from his odd verbal ticks and affectations, he has to be one of the most drab personalities in the Score’s history. He sucked. Plain and simple.

Mac's mellowed obviously. Of course he never had mcDoink at a partner, so that's a huge unknown. I'm not sure how Mac would have reacted when Conor took 2 minutes to get to his question with Jed Hoyer only to be asked "Was there a question in there?". I tend to think that Mac would have offered a lot more tough love than Bernstein did....

Imagine the next person stuck with Bernstein knowing that his last two partners were fired...

Exactly right.

Not only Jed, Theo said that and then in another interview, responded to a Connor question with: I’m not sure what you’re asking me. To which, Dan then paraphrased Connor’s question for Theo. Didn’t even let Connor reframe it.


Found an example.


Connor: So, (sigh), the conversation around that piece has kinda spurred a tangential one: ya know what is a manager worth, ya know, what kinda numbers does he provide, how much wins is a guy worth..and I started thinking...I, I wonder if you and Jed even look at it that way. I’m sure you’ve got some kind of math on what in game decisions can be (sigh)..can bring..back to you in terms of value, but I wonder if you guys even...look...at that sort of the...the..tangible value that way or if it’s so much more than that when you hire an on-off field type guy.

Theo: uh..what’s the question?

Connor: laughs...Whether or not you guys have an actual math (Theo audibly laughs) that matters to you when it comes to decisions during a game, the actual strategic evaluation during a game (by now clearly realizes how stupid he sounds).

Theo: no. We don’t spend a lot of time quantifying in game decision making....

Jules took several not so subtle shots across the bow when Mac was hired back too. Retreads getting hired , same old white men ,etc.

He must be an exceptionally nice person. He's not untalented at radio, but there are 25,000 Millennials in Chicago alone who could take his place. I caught an hour or so of him and Bernstein's show for several months, and I can't remember one thing he said.

I think that was it. I think it embarrasses the South Side Irish guy from St. Tommy More to be called an anglophile.

I generally like Mulli, too (I can't stand Haugh), but he seems to drop the ball on interviews by not being able to formulate preguntas and then, in his rambling, turning an open-ended question into a yes or no question. (I used to do this as a younger teacher all the time. But unlike Mulli, I improved. Or tried to. )

You're right. I was thinking of the Theo interview.

I sent them a text complaining about them not using the board's name. Mac was cool about it and responded saying that he would. That's where the little extra came from when he read my question.

I thought it was a really good segment and I thought the board was well represented. Good to see some people haven't forgotten about the dinosaur medium.

I was disappointed in the Kendall Gill segment. I thought Parkins and Mac did a great job trying to get something interesting out of him, but despite all of the name dropping, I thought he was really boring.

What hour was this and around how many minutes into the show? I would like to listen to it on podcast.

The segment was from their April 29, 2020 show. It started at 3PM. I can't recall what time they answered my question, but it was definitely before 4PM.

thank you this is very helpful

How does Mac not understand that you cannot socially distance in a boat fishing? Any kind of bass boat or deep V walleye boat that he and a buddy would fish in would require them to sit next to each other while traveling on plane.

Maintaining social distancing while fishing in a boat requires either solo fishing or only people from the same household. This is the problem they had in Michigan which is why Whitmer outlawed motor boat fishing. People were blatantly disobeying social distancing by fishing together. She should have just made it people from the same household to eliminate the outrage.

You and he are both right. Perception sometimes really is reality.

Sitting in a boat with one or two other people you’ve known for years somehow feels different. It just does. Add some green and painkillers and suddenly it was meant to be. Hand sanitize here and there and then you’re doing gods work.

I’m hard on Mac. But we should all be able to follow such formula

Noticed that Parkins has not talked about Baby Owen for a while. Wonder if this message board had anything to do with that.

There was quite a long portion of a segment yesterday where Tanny described his experiences with kids/lockdown.

But he seems to be a made guy in a way Parko is not.

I’ve never understood how some people get so wrapped up in identifying with their heritage.

There are any number of reasons in a big city, including social, economic and political benefits. However, taking it at a very basic level, it seems almost innate for people to be interested in their genetic past.
