Dennis: I see a door marked 'Private.'

Dave,
A final word:
If I let your opinions of me affect me as much you let my opinions of Dan McNeil affect you,
then I truly would be as miserable and pathetic as you have decided I must be.
I am, however, flattered to know that you've taken the time to look at my post history
for the sole purpose of cherry picking every negative thing I've ever said about anything.
I've had plenty of positive interactions with some of the smarter people on this board.
Plenty of posts that don't involve "spewing venom".
I called Dan McNeil out on what I still feel was a dishonest explanation of why he doesn't take a lot of calls.
I explained in detail everything about his show that I don't like.
He didn't care to respond, which he does occasionally to specific criticisms.
He did call me a dipshit, thinking someone else was me.
Fine.
If every post I make has a taste of bitter and acrid hatred for Dan McNeil,
you're just not reading carefully.
I don't hate Dan, or Matt, I just don't like their show and I explained why.
Get over it.

Let me close with this:
I'm over the moon about the band U2.
I fucking LOVE U2. Seeing both shows next month.
Dan Bernstein can not stand U2.
I have bitched about Dan's bitching about U2 before.
But you already know that, as you've researched my
previous posts and probably ran a Lexis Nexis search on me as well.
The point is this -Dan's dislike of something I like doesn't prevent or hinder my
ability to like both Dan and U2 at the same time.
I've basically said everything I need to say about the Danny Mac show.
And I've said everything I need to say to you, so have a nice day.

I dont dislike you because you dont like Dan Mcneil. I dislike you because you think that pud Raaaaaandy is funny. I shit funnier things than that. (See how I just set myself up there)

In the grand scheme of things does any of this fucking matter. Everyone here is spending too much time on shit they dont like or love a bit too much. Focus on the positive things in life, and you will be spending your time alot wiser. Ok motherfuckers.

No one could be more wrong than Degenerate Dave when he says the Mac haters are purely "venomous" and haven't offered any constructive criticism. It would be quite possible to compile a list--albeit a rather long one--of the all the valid complaints lodged against the new show. As a matter of fact, after Mac got over his back-from-Canada, PTFB rant, he has actually addressed some of them and offered to make some changes. Unfortunately, I won't hear them because I believed his earlier statements that some things weren't going to change and if I didn't like them, I should PTFB. So I did. I still think I'm entitled to voice my opinion, though, on the current assigment of 21 1/4 hours a week to Mac on really the only outlet in town devoted to virtually full-time local sports coverage, DD's opinion notwithstanding.

DD, I also love the way you always say you're against name-calling, yet soon after that, without fail, people with whom you disagree are puds and pathetic and were treated to a lovely FUCK YOU, and your hero is calling people dipshits and a fly in the afterbirth. But that's OK; we all have our little examples of inconsistent behavior.

Perhaps I could be allowed to turn the tables and ask the Mac supporters for some specificity--as they demand from the Mac detractors--as to what exactly they like about Mac and his show. And not just pablum like "Oh, Mac is awesome, he's so cool, he's a great guy . . ." Do you gain a lot of sports knowledge or insight from this guy who doesn't think even Jay Cutler is a worthy interview at Bears training camp? Is his brand of humor really that funny? Are his bits of genius really worthy of being played over and over again as segment intros? I'm totally serious; I just CANNOT for the life of me see what about this guy and his shows inspires the kind of rabid support he seems to generate on this board. Please help me; I have an inquiring mind and I want to know what I'm missing. If you can demand to know what I don't like, I can at least ask you what you like so I can better understand.

I'm sure someone else has mentioned this in the past, but holy shit are these intros awful. I also cannot fathom the sheer laziness of replaying the same intro at 9 and 11. These are not that hard to chop up and play a new soundbite if you insist on patting yourselves on the back for your "humorous" opinions the day prior.

How about something like "The Danny Mac Show on sportsradio 670, the score," over a music bed of something semi current, or even 90's current, right before you begin speaking again. (I think rock or even 90's alternative would be popular amongst sports radio listeners) It's much more palatable.

It's plain and simple. It keeps me company in the car or at work. It keeps me entertained.

You may ask: "What show doesn't?"

Mac has a way to be warm and inviting to his audience, while at the same time have an energy and be controversial and/or confrontational to people that he doesn't agree with. He has a balancing skill that many don't possess. When he has an edgy or controversial show, it makes me want to hear what happens next... ala Howard Stern. It's a bit hard sometimes for me to be objective about his show and I'm sure I'll always follow blindly. What can I say? I'm hooked.

It's all about entertaining and Mac is an entertainer who knows sports, movies, music etc. These are all things that most guys like to hear about. It's not that hard to figure out.

I switched over from W&S because I wanted to listen to something other than "what's wrong with the cubs" after every fucking loss... I always find mac's shows to be entertaining, do I learn a lot about sports? no, but that could said of any sports radio show... I listen to sports radio to hear people's take on sporting events, trades, free agent signings ect... not to gain sport knowledge... I go to various websites to do that.

Mac has pissed me off with his opinion when he was the host of MJH, to the point of me writing an email telling him to fuck off and that he's lost another listener, but I stepped back for a few weeks and came back. I can't put my finger on what I like about the show, but it is probably a combination of raw opinion, and being able to laugh while I listen to the show.

I can't account for the amount of support that the guy gets pappy's crappy, for I don't really defend the guy, the only thing I can think of is that it is due to the fact that he posts here...

Very well said ... no histrionics, no finger pointing, no frills, just right to the point. Even if I didn't agree with it word for word, I'd still commend you for a nicely crafted 'graph+.
