It sounds like Mac has been relegated to sports updates. All other talk during the show is between Pete, Kathy, and Scott. I think Scott interacts better with Pete and especially Kathy better than Mac did.

Could be as simple as Pete lost his index finger in an accident recently ?

During Mac's angry tirade about not being able to say anything about Greg Solk, he probably bashed Pete. Pete heard it and said FU Mac. I'm driving the bus here and I saved your sinking career, and that's the thanks I get?

The clock has started where they all are counting down when Mac's contract is up so they can dump him.

That is most likely what will happen. He must have really ticked off management with his off-air rant. It doesn't seem like management at WDRV is as forgiving as they were at WSCR or AM1000.

Any chance Julie can work there then?

Speaking of her I was wondering if Dan will now refer to himself as an "Update Anchor" and spend of the day on Twitter "for his job"?

This and he was erased from the snake of time and history at the station? That didn't take long at all.

He's a goner. The Drive bailed him out, gave him a hot meal, fresh clothes, a place to rest his head....and this is where it ends.

This is how the world ends.

That is crazy.

The Score would love to have him back. They know what he brings.

I think Pete is doing a Billy Joel 2fer tommorow dedicated to him with Big Shot and Movin' Out.

you could kill someone and post it on twitter... but if you were #1 in the key demo a radio station would forgive you.... mac's show has been steadily dropping in ratings thus a radio station will be less inclined to deal wth his crap.

all that being said, he could jump on air on WSCR and get ratings again

Not for very much money. He doesn't get out of bed for less than $200k.

Connect dots, that's all you have to do - this isn't rocket science ...unless your Steve from Elmwood Park.

Who's pulling down the most bank at WSCR? When does he 'officially' retire? ...then go from there.

That's Mac's dream. Not reality.

Every station on the dial will get him a gift. You don't want to know what Big 95.5 has in store.

Maybe the Score can bring Mac back to replace that bumbling idiot DiCaro on updates.

I heard a few minutes in the car this morning. Pete was talking to a guy about wearing another dude's swim trunks in Michigan. I don't know if Mac was in the studio, but I didn't hear him. Between this and Silvy and Waddle asking callers if random sports figures are older or younger than Mark Giangreco, radio in this town is in bad shape.

“The whole thing was totally unnecessary and terribly mishandled,” said a witness to the hallway confrontation. “If they’d just let Dan say a few words about Greg at the end of the show, probably no one would have heard it and no one would have cared. . . . They had to know it would set him off — and that’s just what happened.”

Sounds like management is looking to get rid of him. Buyout is probably on the way. Or Mac just keeps doing his sports updates and collecting that check.

That may be the case, but we all have bosses. We may not agree with our bosses all the time, but they're supposed to have the final say and going against that has consequences. Doesn't matter if Dan was right or if this was unnecessary. You could easily say the same for Dan....if this wasn't that big of a deal than just STFU and do your sports update.

There's a lot of worse ways to make 250k a year.

It'd be awesome if he bumped Bernstein at the Score. I hope he doesn't pick the worst partner in the world again. That sucked ass.
