idk but i am going to assume it has something to do with him sucking ass at his job and knowing next to nothing about the sport he is supposed to cover
Dave on the radio today said he loves Jack Mac because he fills the blog during the weekend with college football content. Again the content might sucks but its pageviews.
its a good thing i won't be traveling to various college campuses on the company dime to talk about college football. suck it haters
For context: Jack Mac on radio Friday discussing CFB- “Game of the week is Auburn vs Oregon at 3:30 Saturday (game was at 7:30). Oregon wins this game because of their OL (they lost). I like Auburn QB Bo Nix, he’s like Nick Marshall with a little better arm (um what?). He’s not Cam Newton (no shit). He said all that in a span of 30 seconds.
this is why i'm glad they hired brandon walker. he actually knows what he is talking about wrt CFB. replace kayce with mush on the CFB morning show and have big cat host and it would be perfect.
Is it too much to ask a company to hire actual talented ppl? The BARSTOOL DIFFERENCE seemingly rewards some truly incompetent ppl
Someone asked Jack where they could find that Clemson shirt, and he replied “my head” - then like 5 replies down someone replied with a link to buy the shirt, which isn’t even a barstool shirt
I think jack Mac worked for them all through college and interned there so it’s not like they just found some dipshit of the street and made him their college football guy I actually like they they hire their interns and sort of let them sink or swim. You’re going to find some stars that way and some duds but it’s a numbers game
The people I like the least are the somewhat/minority established media people they bring into barstool like JSB, Kayce, minihan, Rappaport, Liz etc If they were any good they would be not be working at the same company as young mantis i guess. I consume a lot of barstool and the only time I come across jack Mac is when he is posted in this thread
They’ve tried in some aspects. For every PFT you’re going to get 5 Mike Rapaport’s McAfee was good for them and Brandon Walker has shown promise. Then you have your JSB’s and others.
He probably just realized they needed CFB content and that was his pitch to get them to let him stay. Then it became clear he doesn’t know anything and is awful at it
What are the examples of Kayce not knowing CFB? And just from this thread it seems like opinion is pretty divided on Mush being entertaining.
I’ve only listened to about 5 minutes of her but she claimed Kyler Murray couldn’t score on bama last year
I can see her point on that, but in fairness I had some strong takes on it in the game thread as well. I've watched her on that CFB show and never felt like she was any more or less knowledgeable than the majority of talking heads out there. I think she manages the flow of the show pretty well, which seems like her primary responsibility on it.
i dont think she is less informed than anyone else i see on tv/radio doing this job. i just wasn’t entertained. the show was one argument after another, and i got bored.
woulda liked the mets to win for braves purposes. but seeing losers like kfc who have been running their trap about how great the mets are because of a weak schedule get a nice dose of reality is very satisfying durrr cuncel!
he said like 2 weeks ago the mets should be the favorites in the NL. his pain tonight is truly heartwarming
Selfishly I hope he retires and they hire him, one of the best athlete guests on every show he was on
He’s got a point. The only people in New York that care about cfb are transplants living in Manhattan (see: me).
