WSCR-AM 670 called a couple weeks ago when former Bears long-snapper Patrick Mannelly decided to walk away from his role as McNeil's replacement on the midday show.
McNeil listened, but he said his mind already was made up. It was time to head in another direction.

McNeil made his name during nearly 30 years in sports talk radio. His shows have delivered strong ratings at WSCR and WMVP-AM 1000. However, when he parted ways with WSCR in August, he said it involved more than not coming to terms on a new contract. He walked away from a reported $350,000-$400,000 per year offer.
What kind of Mickey Mouse operation is being run by Bernstein/Rosen/Zim?
Mac attracts ratings but not when he's had two extended medical absences and his annual Canadian fishing trip. Perhaps, a back-up plan may have been in order after the 2nd relapse during his employment?
Turned down twice! Extending your hand after Mannelly is incredibly desperate and sad. Talent development is the name of the game in any industry/business except the Score apparently
What a bizarre management team.
