Spiegs just addressed the Mac stuff directly, around 10:40 for those podcasting.

Pretty much verbatim from a Facebook post he made on the show page about an hour ago.

Ivan: Mac is taking some personal time, and it's not really his (Spiegs) business to go into further. Hope he comes back happy, blah blah blah.

Sounds like rehab to me.

As contract issues go, didn't the lazy one sign a multi year "recession" contract last year?

Maybe we should call Dr. Drew...Then again, he's got a lot on his plate already. Nevermind!

After Spiegs & Barry Rozner host "Hit & Run" Sunday morning following the Chris Chelios-looking Mike Esposito from 9a-Noon, Laurence Holmes subs for Mac Monday & Tuesday. You've been warned.

could this have something to do with CBS's policy on social media (twitter, etc) that speigs was pouting about last week? berns is still tweetin' up a storm though....

Mac doesn't really post on social media (station related) - so I fail to see the tie-in.

I'm just grasping at straws in this mystery.

Hmmm...Mac does have a Twitter account now, just like Spiegs. It's DanMcNeil670, just so you know, but I think he was very slow to commit.

What mystery? Spiegs said Mac would be off for a while for "health & wellness" issues. You know what is happening.

This sorta makes it seem like there's more to the story than "mac's sick":

Hey Dan, I went through this when I worked with Kevin Matthews. I hope all is well. Stick to your guns and hang in there. We miss you and we'll follow you wherever it takes you but, hopefully CBS will get things together.

Thought he signed multi-year deal last June? It may be recessionary, but don't sign multi-year if it pisses you off. Still bet on rehab.

FWIW, the podcasts (except the excerpted Hub interview) from the 3/2 M&S have not been posted. Nor have any of the B&B ones. Usually (though CBS is a bit sloppy about this) all but the last hour of B&B would have been posted. Could be a coinky-dink, or ??????

Hmm. Is it possible to be both a Score issue and a wellness issue? Maybe Mac didn't think there was a problem, but the Score thought otherwise and said, go get it cleaned up and then you can come back? :?:

Ah, the fun of rampant speculation.

Heard something yesterday and just went back and listened to the B&B last hour. While talking to Lin Brehmer, right around the 34:25 mark, Lin is talking about if he won the poker outing and needing 2 weeks off and Terry throws out the "just tell the you're Danmanneal" Things that make you go hhhhhmmmm

I'd really hate to speculate if this is health, family, child, rehab related. I feel those are off limits.

But if this ends up being a contract dispute, suspension, or some ego thing, I promise you I'm going to lose it on him.

He got a multi-year deal last June.

The Way SPiegel ended the last break made it sound good, like Lawrence 4 out 5 days this week and who knows how long.

So we could be looking at about a month of No Mac, I am thinking this is Health and I am guessing he's in a Hospital.
