ok fuck this. im going to assume he cheated on his wife by raping an overweight middle aged woman at gunpoint and now theyre preggo looking to sell his house and move into a van down by the river. that has to be what it is

Yea, like, why is this a secret? If his son or mom is having trouble, why not say so? Why the shroud of mystery?

It's amazing how these guys want to get to the bottom of so many issues but clam up when something is going on with one of their own. I hope it's nothing serious but at least say "Mac is dealing with family issues right now" if that's the case. That covers a lot of ground.

I have already grown tired of the notion of Mac being in rehab and have moved onto the notion of Mac escaping from rehab.

It’ll be up to Dan McNeil to decide whether and how much to tell listeners about the “health and wellness issues” he’s dealing with. But at least for now, he’s simply out of action as midday host at CBS Radio sports/talk WSCR-AM (670). “He is taking some time off and will be back in the very near future,” said Mitch Rosen, program director of the Score. Fans recall a similar extended absence for McNeil during his previous stint at rival ESPN Radio sports/talk WMVP-AM (1000). Laurence Holmes is filling in for McNeil this week alongside co-host Matt Spiegel.

I now think it's just a ratings ploy.

I smell a bit....

I am amazed that none of the Mac ALSers haven't given us the scoop.

See you on Intervention Mackeyfish.

Spiegel said it a few times, although I'm nearly certain he also slipped in once 'health and bonus'. Hey this guy is 100% healthy and doing what he does best--messing with everyone to enhance his personal wealth. So sad Fieder could not get to the bottom; he's all we could rely on to do that.

I don't like white rappers.

yeah ..but would you smoke a blunt with him?

No. I gave that shit up in 1977. I never liked it much anyway.

the victory cry of low achievers

What if he is in rehab for gambling?

I'm going to tap dance a bit around this, since I do know why Danny Mac is out. There is a very, very good reason why things are being kept quiet. McNeil is dealing with something tough and his friends at the Score are want to respect his wishes and his privacy. Having his issues debated about in a public forum will only do more harm than good. There are so many rumors out there, and they are getting wilder & weirder by the day. Here is what is NOT going on...

He is not suspended.
He is not holding out for a new contract.
He is not holding out for a bonus or for money.
He was not forced off the air by anybody at WSCR or CBS.
He was not forced off the air by anybody, period.
He is not upset with anybody at his station.
He is not on a long vacation.
He is not out of the country.
He is not in jail, nor has he been arrested.
He is not in any kind of legal trouble.
He is not in rehab for drinking, drugs or gambling.
He is not in any kind of rehab.
He is not dying.
He is not dealing with an illness of any family member of his.
He is not doing this for ratings or attention.
He is not in a witness protection program or hiding from the mob.
This was not pre-planned by any means.

What he is going through is something of a very personal nature. Mitch Rosen and the guys at WSCR-AM are saying that they hope Dan McNeil will be back very soon. The unfortunate fact is, it may not be very soon. This may take some time. I have known others who have gone through what Danny is going through. There is just no quick or easy fix for this.

Hopefully, Dan McNeil will come back to the station at some point in the next few weeks and discuss -- at least minimally -- what is going on. His many fans deserve that. But for right now, what he needs most is space, distance, and time to get back to the Dan McNeil his fans know & love.

There's no big conspiracy going on. There's no need to toss out wild rumors. Just send some positive thoughts his way and wish him the best.
