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. |

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. |

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"? |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |
