Wow. It appears that Mac may be done at the Score. I hope he gets well.

buried the lead:



Figured Mac would be able to string to together unused vacation days with the usual holiday time off the SCORE 1st team seems to get around Thanksgiving/Christmas/New Years and not miss a paycheck until sometime in January.

If even then, as New Year, another couple months of paid time-off to burn through?

Wow

It's a shame but I think that's a wrap for Danny Mac. It might mean Holmes with his new found power no longer needs to kiss Bernsteins ass. His ego will be through the roof.

Eaglo,you might want to rename this thread to "Mac Gone!" to draw more traffic. This is big news.

Nah....sounds weird and uncomfortable. Not into sensationalism, especially to a guy that was so cool to me through the years and vice versa. This just really sucks.

To be honoest, I almost hope that Mac can hook up with Jurko and someone after the dust settles. S&H are an ok listen...smart, informed. I learn stuff from them, but not sure if I retain all that much.

Yeah,I'm more of a "National Enquirer" type of poster. How about Big Mac News?

Guess what Show I wont be listening to.

Actually have heard much more Jurko since this went down, thus noticed the bad ESPn quality of sound

What's bad about it? Tinny? Dave became too unaffordable apparently.

What's your biggest beef with LoHo? Did he snub you at some point?

* * With WSCR-AM's Dan McNeil out on another personal leave of absence, 670 The Score management has officially renamed its midday show as "Spiegel & Holmes." Laurence Holmes, a 25 year veteran of the station, will stay as Matt Spiegel's co-host until further notice. That does not necessarily mean that Dan McNeil won't come back at some point in the future, though. A decision was made to no longer continue to name the show after McNeil when there simply is no McNeil there and won't be for a very long time... if ever again. McNeil remains on an unpaid, indefinite absence while he gets his life and health priorities in line, as well as making a decision about his radio career.

Unpaid leave for Mac. I think Mac used up all of his vacation and sick days. Zim is a cheap ass bastard that will make Mac sue if he's actually entitled to some pay for this mental health situation. Like I said earlier, Zim wasn't gonna renew Mac. Mac will want a buy out. Zim will say no. So Mac will come back in a month or two to finish out his last 5 or 6 months.

Well, Larry finally got his prime time slot. Bad for Score listeners.

Jurko and Carm:

Spiegel:

Drinky: What about me? Do I get the night shift.

Zimmerman: What the fuck? You still work here? And hell no!!!!

Drinky: Fuck you Chicago!!! Fuck you Bernstein!!!! Fuck you CSFMB!!!

Joe O: I'm free!!!! I'm free!!!!

Terry: Eeeeeeeee Eeeeeeeeeee

Larry: I love you Dan. I love you Uncle Teary. Can't wait to say that every day on the front end tranny instead of the back end. Ha ha ha ha ha. Baby!!!

Bernstein: Oy. I work with fuckin' weirdos. I should have become a doctor or lawyer like my dad wanted.

Beardown: Like sands through the hour glass, so are the insane days at the Score.

They should have brought in Doug Buffone to sit with Meat during NFL season.

Wow.

I am very bummed at this news.

Holmes seemed to be extra peppy today. Now I know why. The promos were the tipoff.

I hope Mac gets well and hopefully comes back at some point. It's better for sports talk overall when he's part of it. Sounds like he's battling it, though.

It's amazing how much something like a sports talk radio show becomes ingrained in your daily routine.

Bad news for the listeners and bad news for the Score.

Mitch with second thoughts?

I love Doug and can listen to him,Ed & Hub all day. I also DO LIKE LoHo's Bears talk. He isn't terrible.

There goes any discussion about the Hawks. Mac's production crew can not be pleased with this either.

I wonder if the candyman is going to feel compelled to show up more now since he knows damn well Larry will be in that seat every single day for the entire year.

Will Larry head into the metal shop and cut some singing intro's?

What will happen to the show pot?

If WSCR isn't paying Mac, then you would think he'd be free to sign with whomever. ESPN paid out the balance of Tiny's and Mac's contracts when they were shown the door, partly to keep them on the sidelines (more Mac than Tiny), partly because it's probably cheaper to pay than litigate and also because to not pay looks bad for future talent contemplating working for that station.

And talent is paid for more than the time they spend behind the microphone. Mac's on-going association with the station has value even if he's not on the air.

Last week I noticed LoHo has been driving the show and introducing his questionable evening show ideas. I checked out last week Wednesday. Must be very frustrating for Spiegel and Crew. I'm not a Spiegel fan but no one deserves this.

Good point, Hussra

I just hope I don't see Mac standing next to North on Mancows morning show.

What a zoo that would be......with Mac and Pappy imitating each other, boobs floppin' around and that one trucker chick (or guy?) looking sad. That's pretty much what the show is.
