I think many people assume rehab is a strong possibilty.
I never got the impression that Mac was a huge drinker but his glee about coke discussions often raised a few red flags or at least hmmmmmm's.
The new trend in Hollywood is to blame recent injuries which led to painkiller abuse.
I respect people who address substance abuse issues and if this iis the case I wish him good luck.

i say nah..never met mac but he strikes me as a guy who has learned many things the hard way and would not fall into an addiction this late in life.

This board was in dire need of this very thread.

He's not in rehab. His wife probably slapped him around and he doesn't want to explain the black eye.

There is a STRONG POSSIBILITY you are wrong.

So this sounds like it is either a strike or a suspension.

At least 3 different hosts have referenced it like its a contract thing.


Either its a contract thing or they are the biggest jerks of all time.

Maybe its not money. Maybe he is striking over wanting and not having the afternoon drive slot. This could also be a source for Meat's unprovoked shots at B&B recently

thought it was the case that when Mac was in his prime, it was partially-fueld by liquor and yayo.
And that he cut out the coke a few years ago and then the liquor not long after due to health issues, esp gout.

I think its probably a bonus or longer term contract or something.


Like The SCORE promised X if the show did Y and didnt follow thru

Just a guess

Goff to the midday show holdout.

Thanks for posting in this thread that you have no interest in.
I suggest you break down the true meaning of others board members avatars Barney. Yes that was him.

I thought I had apologized for that .... maybe it was someone else .... it was one of my few drinky-ish posts and I really have no bloody idea why I said that .... this thread is still really retarded, about as much as what I wrote about your avatar though.

I do like that the soundbite gets some traction on B&B now and then.

Anyway, I don't think I'm alone in taking your thread to be somewhere in the neighborhood of casting baseless aspersions on Mac for no discernible reason, certainly nothing positive.

He obviously didn't give up the booze .He got so sloppy drunk down in Louisiana that he pissed all over himself and kept going. Real nice.

Mac just signed a multi-year deal last June.

this is from Feder last June. If he's holding out, then if I was CBS I would tell him to fuck off.

No you didn't but......it pains me to say....great reply and I'm sure we'll find a new reason to hate...but that was a response I can't hate. #we'llmeetagain

Ok maybe it's whipits

Who will start the apologies thread?

Spiegs said that Mac would be "out for a while with health & wellness issues", & he was very serious about it.
After that, some Score guys began spinning it differently.

Much like Jordan, Mac has retired from radio broadcasting in an attempt to fulfill his boyhood dream of playing baseball with the White Sox. My guy says you should expect to see him in the starting lineup of some of these split squad games coming up.

They aren't just taking days off for no reason. Mac is off for a serious health reason, not a vacation. Spiegs just had a baby boy. At some point in the very near future, both hosts will be on together for the majority of days. Sometimes important personal issues take precedence over work.

You are right. The conclusion of the OP is 100% wrong.

What makes it worse is that a couple of the assumptions (other than the conclusion) in the OP are wrong too. This may be the worst thread of 2012. Which is saying something considering all of the threads started by you-know-who last week.

I dunno, man, this thread and the aura of mystery is truly a siren song.

Besides, Mac has gotten more attention on here during these last few days then he's had in the last year. I bet he starts posting again soon!

If this was anything other than rehab, we would have heard about it by now. Especially when there are rehab rumors flying around. Contract issues & suspensions aren't usually kept a secret.

Contract disputes are always kept "secret". They are never called contract disputes on the air - that makes both sides look bad to the consumer public.

Ok well then Spiegal, Boers, and Lin Brehmer are the biggest assholes on the planet. Because they were jokingly chiding him for contract type issues.


The mere fact that you disagree makes me think Im on the right track here.

Well, your are 2/3 correct, I'm not sure about the 3rd guy.
