The new afternoon drive time team by June.

Bernstein can go to NPR or 820. Big changes coming DeCastro was going to hire Mac for the Drive, right before it shutdown.

Dan McNeil will never work a full time gig in a major market ever again.

Way to follow up a great morning by putting that steaming pile of shit show with jules and mags tonight.

Its the place to be for that in-depth NFL analysis (probably more focus will be on the Golden Globes)

Sherman remarked, "Well, Grant, we've had the devil's own day, haven't we?" Grant looked up. "Yes," he replied, followed by a puff. "Yes. Lick 'em tomorrow, though."

Go get em, Dan McNeil!

Curious, that was pretty awesome.

I heard her a month or so ago talking about the Bears. ALL of her information came from fan reactions on twitter. None of the names she spoke of for HC have even been interviewed. She hung up on the only caller that asked her some more in depth questions.

I'm not sure he wants to. I think 400 hours of air time and 100 hours of podcast a year is perfect for him.

Anyone else think these Sunday shifts are a trial run of sorts and maybe part of a dance for some new paper to bring Mac back? Mac wanting to get back, but management unsure of whether or not to believe he really wants to?

I would hope that it is the case. He should replace one of the under-performing daytime hosts

At the very least, this is a warning shot to the other 4 hosts from 9am-10pm. Especially when combined with more and more guest spots for Anthony Herron, who would be a logical fit to move to middays if Parkins/Mac went to full time 1-6 (or the more logical 2-6:30 so that way you don't have to have Larry come in for 35 minutes before every 7pm game).

Has Herron guest hosted with Spiegs with Parkins out?

Though I'm not a Bears fan anymore, I still like the idea of a two-hour "Bears Lunch" show the way Toronto sports radio has Leafs Lunch. Hub and Herron could do it, or maybe get some ex-Bears involved.

This has to be seen by the day part guys as one of them being in the cross hairs. The only question is which one?

I noticed quite a few DAH MAHNEELs from Goff recently. Maybe he is feeling jumpy.

I would think Spiegel has to be feeling pretty nervous. The fact that Mitch partnered Parkins with Mac is neither subtle nor an accident.

Goff said he has 2 years left on his contract. Dunno if that means anything.

I think Speigs > Goff.

I mean in terms of radio performance.

What went wrong in someone's life that brought them to the point to ever know what Maggie Hendricks is tweeting, let alone the 4 shares and 16 likes

agreed, Mac has made it clear that it's drive time going forward for him if he's full time.

I like Mac and I would probably like his show in the afternoon better than the current one. However, Mac isn't really in a strong position here when he spends his afternoons selling trucks and he already showed that he got bored with being in sports radio.

An offer of a full time job working with Parkins would be enough for him if that works out well then you maybe move them to afternoons and offer Bernstein the morning show.

I think it's pretty clear that before anyone else gets a chance that Bernstein and Herron would get a chance in the afternoons. Bernstein has been a rock in the afternoon and at The Score for two decades. Mac has to prove he wants to be reliable enough to stake your own job on it.

Launch him and you have money to do a lot of things.

the only times i've tuned in in the car and listened to julie and maggie, she's had to explain mundane well known sports rules to maggie which leads me to wonder how this is even possible.

I'd listen to Dan and Anthony, but I'd keep Jason on too. You just never know with DeCastro.

Isn't Maggie Hendricks an established national sportswriter?

Danny Mac fans...dont forget he will be on the Score tonight following the football games

Danny Mac had the Saints +5.5 so he's happy about the no-PAT

Also, he's talking gambling so we need to shut this down, a 7 year old might be listening.

Tim Doyle is annoying. Kendall Gill should have punched him harder.

I think Doyle just theorized that Alex Smith will get a $20 mil/year contract.
