We had an idea that this would happen when Dan McNeil was canned by ESPN 1000 (WMVP) back in January. And now it's official: Danny Mac will return home to the Score AM 670. Beginning June 15, the former host of ESPN radio's afternoon "Mac, Jurko and Harry Show" will take the air at The Score solo from 9am - 1pm on his new "The Danny Mac Show." McNeil, who earned about $600,000 in his last contract, likely took a big pay cut to get back on the radio. "Everybody takes a haircut in '09," McNeil said.

Crain's Ed Sherman blogs more about the release of Dan McNeil from WMVP. Sherman speculates that McNeil will wind back at WSCR when his no-compete clause runs out in May, in a possible pairing with his AM 1000 co-host John Jurkovic, whose contract also expires this summer. For what it's worth, if McNeil does winds up at the Score, we'd hope for a reunion with his former "Heavy Fuel Crew" partner-in-crime, Terry Boers. [Crain's]

There's an empty bar stool at the "afternoon saloon." ESPN Radio WMVP (1000 AM) escorted Dan McNeil, host of the afternoon "Mac, Jurko and Harry Show," out the door on Friday and breaking up the team that's been handling afternoons for nearly eight years. The station decided not to pick up the option on his contract, and while he's under contract until May he's been pulled off the air.
