You better get ready to apologize when we find out she wasn't middle-aged!

Contract disputes don't occur in the middle of the contract, nor do people know how long a contract dispute will last. Spiegs said that Mac would be out "for a while".

To add to that, maybe it's his dad also.

Around Thanksgiving a couple of years ago, Boers wasn't on and nobody was saying, thought it was contract and wasn't his Daughter in Law had died.

I'm gonna guess he took extra items into the express lane at the Highland, Indiana Strack & Van Til and somebody fucked him up.

It's amazing how these guys want to get to the bottom of so many issues but clam up when something is going on with one of their own. I hope it's nothing serious but at least say "Mac is dealing with family issues right now" if that's the case. That covers a lot of ground.

So does saying he's dealing with "health and wellness" issues. If you take that very general statement as accurate then it seems to eliminate contract dispute. If not, then what difference does it make make unless they get very specific?

I have already grown tired of the notion of Mac being in rehab and have moved onto the notion of Mac escaping from rehab.

They said you escaped.

I knew you wouldn't leave without me.

I was waiting for you.

Now we can make it, Mac.

I feel big as a damn mountain.

Oh, no!

I'm not going without you, Mac.

I wouldn't leave you here this way.

You're coming with me.

Let's go!

Rob Feder's column

http://timeoutchicago.com/arts-culture/ ... f%E2%80%99

Quote:
It’ll be up to Dan McNeil to decide whether and how much to tell listeners about the “health and wellness issues” he’s dealing with. But at least for now, he’s simply out of action as midday host at CBS Radio sports/talk WSCR-AM (670). “He is taking some time off and will be back in the very near future,” said Mitch Rosen, program director of the Score. Fans recall a similar extended absence for McNeil during his previous stint at rival ESPN Radio sports/talk WMVP-AM (1000). Laurence Holmes is filling in for McNeil this week alongside co-host Matt Spiegel.

Sounds stress / head case related. He is an advocate of therapy & couch time...so maybe that's it.

He has done a hell of a job of increasing the ratings of everything else that is on during the mid day hours.

Spiegel said it a few times, although I'm nearly certain he also slipped in once 'health and bonus'. Hey this guy is 100% healthy and doing what he does best--messing with everyone to enhance his personal wealth. So sad Fieder could not get to the bottom; he's all we could rely on to do that.

Obviously, because Larry has a track record of stellar ratings for mid-days...

Is it possible that he's taking time to concentrate on forming a cover band?

Here is the latest from everyones favorite, Larz:

* * WSCR-AM's midday sports talk host Dan McNeil has been out on a personal leave of absence from the station since Monday, February 28th. The absence could potentially be an extended one. Nobody at The Score or CBS Radio Chicago is willing to speak officially to the reason behind the sudden departure of McNeil, other than to say "Danny Mac" is out for personal "health and wellness" reasons and they wish him well. It has also been said that it is not a suspension and not a contract dispute. While there are numerous Internet rumors as to the exact reasons behind McNeil's being away from the station, most likely it will not be publicly discussed until McNeil is ready and able to return to the airwaves to talk about it himself. Exactly when he will be ready and able to return to WSCR-AM is the big question right now.

Us insiders know the real story. He put a bounty out on Bernsie and Larry "the creepy assasin" Holmes took him up on it and tried to take him out. Big investigation will shake that out soon.

More from your boy Larz.


Quote:
Re: News & Notes: Dan McNeil;

Posted by Larz on 3/6/2012, 12:00 pm, in reply to "Re: News & Notes: Dan McNeil; "

I'm going to tap dance a bit around this, since I do know why Danny Mac is out. There is a very, very good reason why things are being kept quiet. McNeil is dealing with something tough and his friends at the Score are want to respect his wishes and his privacy. Having his issues debated about in a public forum will only do more harm than good. There are so many rumors out there, and they are getting wilder & weirder by the day. Here is what is NOT going on...

He is not suspended.
He is not holding out for a new contract.
He is not holding out for a bonus or for money.
He was not forced off the air by anybody at WSCR or CBS.
He was not forced off the air by anybody, period.
He is not upset with anybody at his station.
He is not on a long vacation.
He is not out of the country.
He is not in jail, nor has he been arrested.
He is not in any kind of legal trouble.
He is not in rehab for drinking, drugs or gambling.
He is not in any kind of rehab.
He is not dying.
He is not dealing with an illness of any family member of his.
He is not doing this for ratings or attention.
He is not in a witness protection program or hiding from the mob.
This was not pre-planned by any means.

What he is going through is something of a very personal nature. Mitch Rosen and the guys at WSCR-AM are saying that they hope Dan McNeil will be back very soon. The unfortunate fact is, it may not be very soon. This may take some time. I have known others who have gone through what Danny is going through. There is just no quick or easy fix for this.

Hopefully, Dan McNeil will come back to the station at some point in the next few weeks and discuss -- at least minimally -- what is going on. His many fans deserve that. But for right now, what he needs most is space, distance, and time to get back to the Dan McNeil his fans know & love.

There's no big conspiracy going on. There's no need to toss out wild rumors. Just send some positive thoughts his way and wish him the best.
