Then why bring this to the airwaves and throw your teammates under the bus? Come on Mus, he just might influence others to not like a show or host, which he has done on this board.. Again, I like Dan and his show but don't sit there and tell me Rosy should not have poker guests on or don't rip on fantasy players or rip on S&C for being fags..
I just BELIEVE you let people do their thing and you keep your own house in order.. You see the same people going up the ladder as you see going down ..
Stu-I agree with the fact that Mac built this station and has a responsibility to avoid seeing it blow completely up--that's why he should do whatever he can, either on or off-air, to end this Shitsbury and Pokerdouche mess. I can't fathom why Pastor and Bristol has this crap on the air given the legitimate issues--cutting each other off, inappropriate interview comments, topics of no interest to CHICAGO listeners, etc. I think this literally may be the straw that breaks the camel's back for the station.
I started listening to MVP a few years back for the local talk and hosts. Chicago is the third-largest city in the country and one of the few cities that have teams which have won championships in each of the three major sports, plus hockey and soccer, not Bumfuc k, Idaho. It is insulting that we have two major sports stations in town, one of which generally sucks but is local at least and only one consistently broadcast local show on MVP. I would appreciate more discussion on the local teams and local issues--including the Hawks (although I'll concede they don't deserve much), Fire and college sports in the area. Not a lot--but Chicago deserves more than to have a f ucking poker author and East Coast (or Dallas or wherever the fuc k) fanook on the air from 9-12.
My point is that ESPN has obviously decided to take a different strategic approach to Chicago--nationalize almost everything--which implies that we're no different than any small or midsize town with no professional sports teams that would be well-suited for a syndicated feed. As such, I can't take it and am generally not listening to any of the shows anymore, even MJH and the baseball shows on the weekend. I get the sense from reading various threads that a lot of listeners are turning off MVP.
And because I don't think that Pastor/Bristol give a shi t about what the listeners think, I think that it's worth Mac taking up the cause to the extent possible. He's got to remember that nobody stays on top forever, and if listeners get sick enough of ESPN it will eventually have repurcussions for his own show.
Sorry for the long message, but I just got my period.
