yeah here lemme do the nice thing that shoulda been below the link: When it comes to Dan McNeil, the drama never ends. The $300,000-a-year franchise player at CBS Radio sports/talk WSCR AM 670 is missing again from the midday show he co-hosts with Matt Spiegel. McNeil’s last broadcast was June 13 — just two days before his contract with the Score expired. While the latest guessing game about the mercurial Danny Mac drags on, various guest hosts have been filling in alongside Spiegel from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. weekdays. Rod Zimmerman, senior vice president and market manager of CBS Radio Chicago, confirmed that conversations with McNeil are ongoing. McNeil’s agent, Bryan Harlan, did not respond to a request for comment. McNeil’s last extended absence had him off the air for seven weeks while he underwent treatment for addiction to prescription narcotics. He returned from rehab in December vowing to redeem himself in the eyes of his bosses, co-workers and listeners. In addition to battles with substance abuse and depression, McNeil made headlines over the years for numerous suspensions for his conduct on and off the air. “You’d think you’d get used to doing this, as often as I have come back from extended absences, whether it’s treating my addiction or having issues with suspensions up the dial for a number of years,” he said after his last comeback. “But it doesn’t get any easier.” Score logoIn the latest Nielsen Audio survey, middays on the Score ranked 15th overall with a 2.6 percent share and cumulative weekly audience of 289,100. Among men between 18 and 49, “Mac and Spiegs” were fourth with a 4.4 share and a weekly cume of 132,600. It’s not entirely clear what McNeil is holding out for this time. To some he’s made it known he dislikes working middays and wants to move to afternoon drive. To others, he’s said he wants a raise to $500,000, which would put him on par with afternoon host Terry Boers, the Score’s highest paid personality. Still others believe he’s angling to take the summer off and return in time for football season. And then there are those who think he’s testing the market to see if he can make a better deal elsewhere. Unless he were to sit out until next year, any offer McNeil receives from a competitor would be subject to the Score’s right to match. It’s highly unlikely that he’d be welcomed back at ESPN Radio WMVP AM 1000, where he spent nine stormy years before he was dropped in 2009. That leaves Tribune Broadcasting newcomer WGWG LP 87.7, which made no effort to stop the Score from resigning afternoon host Dan Bernstein earlier this month. Notwithstanding McNeil’s considerable talent as a broadcaster, his 28 years in Chicago radio, and his undeniable impact on the ratings, patience and loyalty cut both ways. The question is how much longer will CBS Radio bosses put up with a temperamental star who’s left them in the lurch time and time again? ---- but yeah, who can blame terry for staying on the gravy train? |

Holy shit. $500k to stutter and stammer without putting together a coherent thought. That seriously blows my mind. |

I always thought it was the ventriloquist who makes the big bucks. The reason is he has a better agent, and apparently he has better branding/market value because he isn't a complete asshole. He's got to be top 5 in the whole market i'm thinking. Who else makes that anymore? |

Quote: Bruce Wolf: So if Mark Grote replaced Dan and the Score got a 4.5 rating (18-49), would Grote's Ratings Points Above Replacement (RPAR) be a .1? Or for replacement purposes do you base the calculation on the difference between what Grote and say, Laurence Holmes, would provide?

How long do you put up with Mac? A long as he brings in the ratings. What a dumb question. |

I think people tune in to to hear Terry much more than Dan. When B&B is at its funniest, it is Terry who is doing it. |

wasnt north making $1.5M back in his heyday? i wonder if feeder would even know if bernstein got a bump up in his latest contract. Knowing that the score can match any offer macneil gets makes this situation a lot more clear to me... he either stays at WSCR or 87.7 GROSSLY overpays to snag him away. |

So which of those negative comments came from Score Is Doomed? |

There was a comment from Skip Skrobuton (Skip Score Button), and apparently that's a real person. We've been talking about him on this board for years. Where's Gunther Rudderschmidt? |

If Feder did his homework he would see that Dan has explicitly stated he was taking the summer off to be with his sons for what he considers possibly the last time he will get to spend an extended period of time with them. 500K is like 10 million in Mokena. Terry's kids are counting those inheritance dollars. |

I'd peg it a bit earlier than that since we're talking about constistantly being funny and good but your points are accurate, nonetheless. |

Has Biggie dropped by the comments section to ask Feder "YES or NO???" yet? |

The Penn state stuff made sense at first because of the magnitude of the story and the fact that it was a pretty black-and-white situation. The problem is that they ran with that story for the next 6 months and carried the moral indignation that it gave them into every other story since. PED user in a sport of PED users? 23 year old kid who likes to drink? People who don't like Lebron? They're all just as bad as Jerry Sandusky. This is not opinion, it.is.FACT. |

A thread about Mac's status tuns into a B&B thread after one post. |
