This really has MUCH less to do with Mac than many of you think, but I could see how he would be in this situation.

Fact is when your contract is up, you have very little leverage at WSCR, or probably most places.

The closer your contract comes to it's final date the less leverage you have. I do know for a fact that many WSCR people have taken salary hits on their last days of employment. Basically they got put into a terrible situation and could have chosen to walk, but you need to work...so they took the deals. (none of these people were Mac)

If Mac wanted things changed and he just signed a new deal, now would be the time to try and get those deals.

Zimmerman is a tough guy to deal with and if you give him the upper hand, like you have 30 days left on your deal, do you really think you have a chance of getting more than 10% of what you wanted? If that being a raise or other perks? Most likely not.

The fact that ESPN and WSCR exist in this town, with some 720 AM bullshit thrown in, at least creates somewhat of a market for "on air talent". Outside of that, you take what they give you unless you can open your holes...or radio station.

I truely can't give you anything on this, but this would be a great ballsy move by Mac. WSCR is doing good, but a little kick in the ass never hurts and I have a feeling more WSOX games wont boost the ratings this summer like some might have thought years ago, especially v. a possible Bulls playoff run on ESPN.

Hawaii!!!

Wait, so Mac didn't need another contract? Without 670 he would have been just fine and dandy? Doing what, exactly?

So you know for a fact that Mac isn't pouting over a contract or the show or whatever similar things but if he was, in fact, doing just that it's totally cool because the iron is hot and thus he should strike?

Who are you, Larz?

Would that really make them budge? The contract is signed, come back to work, or you have breached the contract.

Yeah but how much does Laurence make?

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

Does Larry get paid extra for the absurd amount of hours he has to pick up to cover Mac and Meat's asses all the time?

20% less than his white counterparts.

A few months ago Laurence signed a 2 year $750,000 deal with incentives up to 1.4 M

Nope, this is why he is employed. Don't need to pay Rosner, Hub, etc...Larry already bought and paid for.

I know nothing regarding Mac, just stating my opinion with information about how things go with CBS deals.

and they get nothing for the breach other than lowered ratings

Dan has enough money to live like a king for the rest of his life in hillbilly heaven. NWI is like another world in terms of the cost of living.

That's a pretty big risk to take on his part. And I'm not so sure you are right about living like a king either.

If you have something to say BF, say it.

I did, I said this was not in to anyone in particular and I meant that.

Why don't you tell us all the facts you know?

A power move by a guy holding no cards. That's not ballsy, that's idiotic. Mac burned the bridges back to AM1000. Where the hell is he gonna go? Weekends on MadDog on Sirius? Fill in for Mike North on Fox Sports radio?

He should thank the lucky stars he has a freaking job at all.

Speaking of "Ask Herb", is that on Laurence Holmes' nighttime show tomorrow night?

LoHo makes HOW MUCH?

OMG

I thought maybe 100 grand at the most per year.

Isn't LoHo earning extra $$$$ with his NBC5 gig he keeps promoting ad nauseum?

Yeah I'd have said 100-120k. You've got to be shitting me.

He's getting "old" Mike North money. I think North walking has led to LoHo becoming more prominent.
