There's the crux of it and what nobody wants to admit. They're not there for their insightful questions and comments regarding the sport. They're there because they look hot. Otherwise there would be more men that look like Pete Axthelm doing the job.


They are no better or worse than men are at it. Very few sideline guys give you shit either.



Right, but looks are a requirement for the job. It goes for men too, though to a somewhat lesser degree. You don't see many anchors that look like Walter Cronkite these days, do you?

He also said people with depression should get over it.


That's what got Skip Bayless into hot water recently. In fact, it's the last thing I heard Mac talk about on WSCR the other day. They were discussing Bayless's comments about Dak Prescott being soft and a bad leader because he said the pandemic had "depressed" him. Bayless's point was that clinical depression is real and serious and can be treated with drugs, but Prescott's depression was more of the garden-variety sadness that is completely natural when bad things happen to you, and is not the result of a chemical imbalance. Both Mac and Parkins called Bayless a troll and Parkins said his own therapist (?) said "situational" depression was just as real as "clinical" depression.


Jason's argument as to the illegitimacy of clinical depression was that it was only for white people because black people have more urgent problems in their lives than feeling sad. Dan, to his credit (it was a discussion of David Foster Wallace's suicide), wasn't indulging this line of attack at all, and I'm pretty sure Jason realized he wasn't gonna win this one and moved on. This was about ten years ago. I wonder if Jason allows black people to be depressed now.

Yeah we want nice looking women on TV these days. That's no secret but to suggest that they be removed because they give you nothing isn't fair since many of the men don't give you shit either. They are there merely to be kiss asses.

Ogie (he of the numerous biases) is merely exhibiting yet another one to add to his ever expanding list.

Because its CFMB that's why and guys have difficulty admitting they are wrong about anything.



I'm not one who regularly engages you in debate and has never posted any personal insult to you but you have to be utterly lacking in self awareness to have posted this.

The inclusion of me as part of it doesn't necessitate that the MANY aren't excluded from it. NO one here admits that they are wrong about anything around here. You have actual evidence that porn stars are part of show (which McNeil obviously knows) yet people are still willing to argue that they aren't. How "disingenuous" is that?

What evidence? IF so show it. I posted the direct link of porn stars hosting those shows. You claimed they didn't which was false.

I forgot how truly awful and stupid he was as a host I recall one time he and Lawrence talked about which ESPN 1000 hosts they could "throw hands with" and beat up.

I remember that. I think Goff said Jurko was the only one he couldn't beat up.

Regarding Mac, I'm in the camp that he did this to himself by embracing the woke side in his current stint forgetting that they cannibalize their own at the drop of a dime. Stan Wischnowski can attest to that.

But it's just a sad situation we are all living in that you can actually be fired for critiquing a fellow public figure's attire. Bizarre times.

I'm gonna go back to this.

She brought up in her article that Mac said she smelled nice. Insinuating that it was sexist for him to do so.

Why do women wear perfume? Cuz they want to smell nice. So if somebody compliments you on that why is that sexist?

Trust me, Julie, Mac doesn't want to bang you. He wasn't trying to belittle you by saying that either. He was trying to say something nice to you. It was just a simple compliment.

I just don't get why everything is sexist with the Julie's of the world.

I guess we live in a world where just talking to a women that's not your girlfriend or wife is now sexist. I guess we can't talk to women anymore.

She's the minority, though. Most women aren't like her. She's the type that always has her fangs out looking for sexism when it's not there.

She projects to be a discourteous, selfish person who lacks self-awareness. She probably only associates with others who share the same traits, though, so, to her, being like that is normal.

Don't overcomplicate it....she's just a miserable person, which explains her attitude and behavior.

She didn't even think it was sexist until now when it can be profitable. Real time she said thanks and went on with her day and probably only made a mental note of this interaction because it flattered her. She's a mentally ill lady who distorted the events in her head much like I assume what really happened with her rape.
