McNeil Re-signs -- Dumb Interview Follows

A hearty mazel tov goes out to Dan McNeil. The WMVP host just scored a reported $600,000 per year contract for leading the #1 radio show in afternoon drive. Dan does run a decent show and I'm have nothing but jealousy over the siize of his new W-2.

To celebrate the renewal, Dan had a chat with Hawk Harrelson this evening. The discussed an article on SI.com that declared the White Sox the worst team to root for in all of SPORTS. The article, written by Mark Bechtel, can be found here.

Mark spends a few lines ripping Hawk's style.

Put it on the boarrrrrrddddd ... YESSSSSSS! Grab some bench! Come on. Every White Sox out is a screamer, every opponent's hit is a bleeder with eyes. Ken, it's not radio. We can see it.

Hawk said he read the article and decided to rationalize why Mark doesn't like his call. It seems Hawk thinks that Mark must be a Cubs' fan. Hawk said it twice for good measure.

Well, I dunno Mark personally, but I read his bio. In it, Mark "admits to being 'an avid Indians and Browns fan, almost to a fanatical extreme.' He also follows English football side Sunderland."

Wake up, Hawk. Cubs' fans don't hate you. We ignore you. By making the statement that Mark dislikes you do to his (erroneous) pro-Cubs bent, you actually confirm the South Side Inferiority Complex.

Just shut up and broadcast. Don't worry about the Cubs other than the 3 times you have to broadcast their games each year.
