"Dan McNeil returns today at noon, and the Mac and Spiegs show will reconvene.
I know many of you have hungered for information and details about the show; I’m sorry I haven’t been able to respond and provide them along the way. The situation was simply too delicate personally, legally, and professionally to comment on publicly.
I look forward to Mac being able to tell you about his absence and return, in his words, as he sees fit.
Laurence Holmes is a complete pro, a great host, and a phenomenal teammate. It’s been awesome to work with him these 7 weeks and get a rhythm going; I enjoyed my radio tryst. We appreciate those of you that stuck with us, or found us and stayed.
Game on. Let the Iron Man streak begin anew. -- Spiegs."

So there was a contract dispute?

I don't listen to this show because I think both McNeil and Spiegel are both total douchebag diva putzes, but I would think that with ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL the other available options for mundane workday entertainment that exist, some of your blind loyalty to a radio host is wasted on a guy whose best days are obviously way behind him. I still remember back in the end of 2000, when I had no idea what the score even was, I listened to 1000 for Dan Patrick (anyone remember Phil the showkiller?), Tony Kornheiser (ANDY POLEY!!!!) and Huge and Lou. So then I left for L.A. beginning of 2001, came back a few months later only to find 3 mouthbreathing stereotypes on the air during the afternoons. That show turned out to be MJH, none of whom I'd ever heard of, and never wished to again. With podcasts, Spotify, et al, I just don't understand why someone with such a cushy radio gig would repeatedly bite the mouth that feeds him, and feeds him well.
Anyway, fuck Danny Mac, fuck Grimace, fuck Holmes.
Ya'll could be listening to Jim Rome's Year in Review today. Instead, you'll wait with baited breath to hear more sanctimonious bullshit from your fearless leader. Have fun.
Rack me, I'm out.

Today at noon. Maybe they will keep Larry and go three way

More of a 2.6-way ....

Thanks, shirtless, for trotting in on your high horses and telling us what we should and shouldn't listen to. I happen to think there is no bigger asshole on the air than Jim Rome (Bernsteen is a close 2nd), but I'm not going to tell anyone what they should have playing in the background. That's why there's chocolate and vanilla.

funny how the guys who are decent at radio don't really want to do it that much and the guys who suck at it, really really LOVE doing it.

I said you COULD be listening to Jim Rome, not you should be.

Rome is the only one who knows how to do those sports minutes. he's pretty good at those.

I thought wives were off limits?

WELCOME BACK, MAC...BLACKHAWK TALK JUST AROUND THE CORNER.

This does make our guy, Chus, look a little bad. Zawaski appears to be correct.
