Why is everyone upset with Pappy's Crappy? His whole point is that radio is for the MASS market, not geared to guys that know Mac or are longtime listeners. You guys know Mac and like him and understand him. The point was just being made that casual listeners, which make up most of any stations audience, MIGHT get turned off by that type of conversation. that's all Pappy was getting at, as well as the original poster. I don't think it was meant as a personal attack.

Stu, Ed, and a few others, you shouldn't get so defensive, neither guy was attacking Mac, just making an innocent observation. The more listeners the better, no station makes money on a handful of friends and neighbors.

Wow SID, that was one of the better posts I've ever read from you. Not that I don't like your other thoughts, but there was no vitriol here. Nice.

Hey, it's a holiday weekend!!
Everyone should enjoy our freedom and independence and thank those who have sacrificed to make it possible!!

Did you eat a lot of paint chips as a kid?

I like this sid a lot I hope you stay this way.

Played with mercury too!!

Update on that one, Bigfan. Might be a Lexus convertible in Mac's future.

I wish Alexei could sacrifice every now and then.

Don't think I was defending Mac as much as I was just stating an opinion about the show and it's content. He's a big boy and can comment if he likes and if some of you don't like him chatting about what he brings to the show more power to you and for those who do like it more power to you.

Mac is not curing cancer or trying to spilt the atom , he's doing a radio show from 9 to 1 and I really don't take it to heart that he owns a Benz or a boat or a pool. In the big picutre I enjoy what he brings to the table for 4 hours a day and from everything I've read so do most of you. Time to move on to Bears camp , Sox baseball and some Hawks talk.

Hope all of you have an awesome and Safe Holiday weekend.

Somebody brings some common sense to this thread!
This is supposed to be entertaining sports radio..not sociology 101.
If somebody doesn't like the talk about a boat in these economic times, they might consider a shrink rather than a radio show.
What a load of candyassed garbage..."I am offended by a radio personality I don't have to listen to".

Direct hit....some of us had parents and grandparents go through the Fucking Great Depression.....Here we have some complete 'What about Me' crybabies who are somehow "hurt' by some guy on the radio talking about TVs, boats, golf, etc.

I guess the same people who have all of this resentment over "Mackeyland" and a boat don't hear the bits and pieces about Mac's autistic son and all the work he does for kids afflicted with autism.

I guess they miss the parts about him as a father.

Some petty folks want to feel sorry for themselves about a fucking TV.

Get a life.

Get a job.

Do your job.

GROW THE FUCK UP.

Let's talk 13 inch black and white TV's with the antenna, some shitty cuts of beef from Jewel and how the 79 Dodge Caravan is running today. Everyone happy

Like I said in my first post, this is my first time listening to Mac and I guess I'm not really used to hosts talking about the material goods they have accumulated because of their job.

I love the show and this is just something I'll accept as part of the Mackey package.

Wow, didn't think people would take this so personally. I'm trying to decipher where I said that I'm "pissed" off about this subject. I thought the fact I said I loved the show might be a clue that this doesn't "piss" me off, just not used to it.

It's not you, it's them.

Matt, there is a huge difference between Danny Mac talking about a boat or a round of free golf and an absolute ass with no integrity like Mike North name dropping when it is quite obvious his on air opinions are obviously being compromised by what he thinks he is getting out of the deal.

McNeil is not putting material wealth in anyone's face with the intent of making them feel inadequate.

I'm going to pull a David Hernandez and slash my wrists because I don't own a cigarette boat and don't have the $1,000.00 to fill the tank.
I wish Dan McNeil would please stop talking about boats.
It makes me suicidal.

I wonder if Mac is in the Mackinac race this year?
Will the boat have a TV?

we had a baby blue Ford Pinto when I was a kid.

Mac should just post his W2 here.

I didn't read Matt's post, nor the posts of others who have been critical of Mac about this, as being even remotely envious. I think that's been made pretty clear by the people who find it tiresome.

If it did, that wasn't my intention.

I figured maybe it was just a one or two time thing, but after listening for a couple of weeks it seems to be a regular part of his schtick. Hey, more power to him. Like I said...I get it, sweet gig. I'm just used to hosts that say "I watched the Sox game last night", not "I watched the Sox game last night on 60 inches of full HD beauty". After years and years of listening to a certain kind of delivery from hosts, this takes some getting used to. And by no means do I even equate this to a Mike North-like "Hey look at me, I give to charity" sort of delivery. Mac seems like the type of guy I'd like to sit down and have a cold Miller Lite with while enjoying a dip in the pool with some Allen Brothers steaks on the grill.

See, even I'm doing it now. I'm getting used to it already.
