I don't pretend to know about mental illness but I doubt it's the job that is wearing him down.

If he doesn't come back on the air, does Larry just get plugged in permanently? God help us all if that happens.

Get well soon, Mac.

Well, we should know by now that Mitch will do anything in his power to get Larry a major daypart, even if it means hiring Dan Hampton.

sure you do. just like you said, youre a glass half full guy with mostly good days- and there really isnt a reason for it.

depression is the opposite. you cant help but see things half gone, and good days are few between- and there really isnt a reason for it.

Good luck to you Mac, and to your family. Get better and get back on the air very soon.

god dammit listening to these two idiots is worthless. its just a couple armchair fans who dont study into sports any deeper then i do. why the fuck would i want to listen to myself?

I used to not be able to understand people when they said they were depressed. That is until I realized what it was. It is a very serious issue. I'm not sure if medication is always the cure but I think you would be surprised at the number of people who go untreated.

You're a major league asshole for bringing up his mother or you lack basic awareness. Especially since you don't know if it is true or not.

I do hope Mac comes back too, they even put in the story he may not be back at all.

you are confusing the symptom with the cause

I don't think he meant that maliciously. More like that could be one of the causes of his depression.

Why bring up her death if he isn't sure it's true? He could have asked if anyone is aware of a family history of mental illness.

Get well Mac. Hope to you hear you back on the airwaves soon -- maybe on WGN?
BTW, I also think Scorehead needs a lengthy time out.

I thought this was obvious.

This was either written in a story the last time Mac was on leave, or Mac mentioned it on air.

Suicide is not an appropriate speculative subject.

Yeah. I'd chalk it up to basic awareness. The suicide isn't speculative. He wrote it here somewhere.

Mac's had a rough time, lots of stress, and a history of depression. I can't imagine the struggles he must face. I wish him and family the best. It's hard to watch it and live through it with them.

it's not speculation. Mac has said this on air.

That actually works. Im gonna do that with all Scorehead's posts

Quitting Marijuana often leads to depression and lots of anxiety. Mac might be caught in a horrible cycle of curing one thing and opening another.

I wouldnt wish it on anyone. Get well, Mac

You drinking at work? Post a picture of you at your desk!

I wouldnt know

Ive heard a lot that breaking that habit can lead to depression. Not life long but in the months after.

Wouldnt THAT be something?

This sucks to hear. Depression ain't no joke. I've witnessed it, and it is one of life's most terrible things. Best of luck to Mac.
