I can only think of one other "personal" reason that isn't on that list.

Yeah, me too, and I hope that's not the deal. And if so, the fact that B&B are joking about why he's out kind of sucks.

Their joking is why I think he is in gambling rehab or he went to rehab to stop smoking.

....and it probably isn't some traditional rehab but some kind of outdoor camping/fishing retreat.

Rob Feder says Laurence Holmes is sitting in all week for Mac. That's not quite accurate. Tomorrow, the Daily Herald's Barry Rozner is supposed to sit in with Spiegs on this 9a-1p show while LoHo returns to the night shift between 6-10p. However, Laurence returns to sit in with Spiegs Thursday and then Friday, Marv Albert, I mean Zach Zaidman, sits in with LoHo on the midday show as Spiegs will be off. You've been warned.

"He is not in a witness protection program or hiding from the mob."

Not sure why you'd need to put this on the list unless he makes his sports bets with a mob related bookie. I am trying to think up a reason why Mac would enter a witness protection program. What could he possibly know that is valuable enough to the government and harmful enough to dangerous folks? Gloopan, any thoughts?

Possibly...or perhaps a mental issue such as depression? Not sure how much time you'd miss with marital strife though.

If they are really that upset about the speculation why not just release the actual reason? It's not like the speculation will ever go away until it's known. It's not like Mac is going to come back one day and everyone will say "He's back. Let's forget about the unexplained absence for the last 4 years".

It's fun to speculate, but it's only worth it to think about things within the realm of possibility. The list does not need things like:

Mac has not joined the military
Mac is not going to a jurisdiction where polygamy and g ay marriage are legal
Mac is not running for President (of the U.S. or CSFMB)
Mac is not becoming Tiger Woods putting coach
Mac is not having an emergency C-section
Mac is not trying out for the Chicago Cubs at Spring Training
Mac is not filling in for Rush Limbaugh in an attempt to regain lost advertisers
Mac is not driving Eddie Curry's limo

This would be a much better thread. :lol:

Posted by Larz on 3/6/2012, 12:00 pm, in reply to "Re: News & Notes: Dan McNeil; "

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.

This "Larz" clown is full of just as much shit as we are concerning the whereabouts of one DanMaaaaNeaaal. He is making it seem like Mac is dying or something, which I hope isn't the case, but the Facebook post by that Kevin Matthews employee about "working through" things at CBS and such plus MeatPants delicate "health and wellness" and "health and bonus" jab AND B&B's chiding of him for taking time off and such points to..................a contract dispute, or rehab, or an addiction to scat porn.

Either way, "LARZ" is full of nine types of shit. Larz knows nothing which is just about as much as we know.

But.....it could be that he has bad gout, ran out of Allen Brothers Steaks, is sleeping on Norths couch or something of that nature.

Nice of Larz to keep the guessing game going by framing it as 20 questions.

What a douchebag. Every post Larz makes exposes him for the mic sniffer he is but this is truly disgusting.

Using whatever Mac's situation is to say "Hey look, Im an insider in the Chicago sports specific radio market!!!"

Didn't Mac hint at switching teams a few years back, like his friend was doing it and he thought it looked tempting. Maybe he'll come back gay or as a chick-dude or dude-chick.

And dude talked way too much about other dudes' junk on air. Like you could just tune in randomly and wait a few minutes and--bam--dick talk.

I have to be honest. The thought that Mac came out of the closet is not the craziest thing ever.

Maybe the wife found him with the gay friend?

If it leads to a divorce, I think it is.

Also, perhaps Mac doesnt wanna COME OUT so that would explain the secrecy.

This is all silly speculation

He probably just had his mustard belt stolen
