Big Mac

It does seem quite strange to hear Big Mac on ATR when C4 is covering racing. I know I have posted on here that I am not a fan but he does care about racing. Sadly he never knew when to draw the line and his rants knew no bounds. That brought about his demise IMHO.

A least a few people on course may actually watch the race rather than get pished.

That said, with a few drinks down them they may add some liquidity to the market, so please carry on.

I think part of the reason for Big Mac's demise is his sexist views. The liberal fascism of political correctness dictates that TV presenters have to be ultra-PC in their beliefs, and Big Mac makes Sid the Sexist look like a new man!

If you want a laugh have a watch of today's Sunday Forum, repeated at 12.30pm in the first 15mins Mac is put well and truly in his place by Jim McGrath though Mac thought at first he was agreeing with him

Would this be Aussie Jim McGrath aka Mr Magoo, the man who seems to be calling a race on a delayed feed? I'm not sure who is the biggest idiot and in fact I would side with Big Mac over McGrath!

As a commentator I don't like Jim at all, time to be put out to pasture but I think he is actually very good with his views on racing.

Jeff, The reason for his demise is he is an arrogant, self opinionated & clueless guesser.
He has made a living out of being controversial. He is the "go to" face of betting for lazy mainstream tv producers.
I despise him and all he stands for

But doesn't TV need people like that - colourful characters who people either love or love to hate, rather than bland presenters?

IMHO, TV suffers when broadcasters become terrified of offending anyone, and go for being offensively boring instead...

Long may characters like Big Mac, Jeremy Clarkson and Simon Cowell continue to grace our screens!
