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.
Whoops.
