Comments like, who was it, Harry Seaward?, who tuned in for five minutes and heard talk of the fantasy football draft in my basement and had to go away, casting eternal aspersions because of several minutes of what guys talk about. Harry must be jealous the basement in which he dwells is at mom and dad's. Or that he doesn't have enough friends to form a fantasy league. Don't worry, douchebag, you'll make out. Go to a support group meeting for gu8ys with testicular cancer and you may find your vacation.
Oh, I see what you did there. You took my shot(s) at your oft-times lame show and flipped it on me - I live in my parents basement, I'm a douchebag, I need to go to a meeting for gu8ys with testicular cancer. Clever response.
I went to your employer's website and downloaded your guest appearances on Terry's show prior to you signing your "new" paper. I was genuinely excited when you did indeed sign back with 670, and was eager to hear what your show would become.
I did not follow you to WMVP when you left, as I was a dedicated Score listener. I have grown to loathe ESPN over the years, and was not interested in sifting through their corporate BS to hear you ... plus, The Score still had a decent lineup. All that said, I was truly excited for your return.
Your selection for co-host boggled my mind, as I thought Matt sounded like a bit of a tool when I'd catch him on "national" SNR. So it wasn't a huge surprise to me that your show started off kind of shakey...but I'm aware new things take time. I listened to your show, and it sucked. I was frustrated. I took "some time off" from it. I came back, gave an ENTIRE show a listen - more of the same. Took another break, only to tune back in to hear you regaling yourself/meatpants/hardcore fanboys with the tales of your epic fantasy football evening....I tuned out. And hey, guess what? I decided to give it another shot (either that day or the next) and you were playing that EXACT CONVERSATION in a bumper which then sent you on another jag about the food you consumed etc.
Dan, you can hit the NEW TOPIC button ... get your chest all puffy ... and type out some vitriol towards one "douchebag" guy like me if you want, obviously that's your call. I'm sure all the taint-lickers you've pal'd up with over the years eat that sort of stuff up. I'm just a dude that enjoys Chicago sports, and (for the most part) have enjoyed listening to The Score since day 1. I understand I'm not in your personal demo of guys that want to trip over themselves to meet and greet with you at a tailgate - I'm simply telling you that it would be of ZERO shock to me if your part (of the already tiny overall bit) of audience share continues to scrape the bottom. If it's been your key to success to tell listeners to "PTFB" and call them loser douchebags, then I guess you'll continue. I don't give you any credit for coming here and attempting to dress down the haters/critics of your show.
I've been absolutely astounded at the downfall of Mike North - and your self-important takes on the "biz" and continual denials of the ratings certainly make you sound like a North-In-Training. Perhaps you'll turn things around, and once again ascend to the lofty throne of tallest midget of sports talk radio ratings ... if you do, congrats. I won't be along for the ride and the next time I have a meeting with the region's CBS Radio folks, I'll be sure to let them know how highly you regard people who have a negative take on your show.
For now, it's back to my basement dwelling. Thanks for the note, you pud, the great Danny Mac addressing me directly is surely the highlight of this douchebag's year.
