It is free attention, which is the #1 reason he states most of the things that come out of his mouth. He is a highly paid troll.

 

He also hates being called dumb, which this article specifically states. Im sure he will talk about it today

They were talking about it already in the crosstalk section! He denied calling Derrick a villain but maintains that he's a detriment to the team right now.

 

edit: Rose doesn't want to go through rebuilding and lose the team they currently have assembled, but last year his camp was saying that they need to get Derrick some support.

Haha, whatever.

Mac comes back at noon today to explain his absence

He's come and gone more times than the Undertaker. After awhile, I just stopped caring.

Depression, rehab, or both?

Maybe Scott Hall would be a better comparison.

I've never been happier to get indoor canadian soccer on ice and/or gambling talked at me though my radio again.

No i was joking. I tuned in late, but it seems like rehab from what they are talking about

Oh, okay.

It was weed and painkillers.

How many chances does Mac get?

I think if someone comes to you saying they need to go to rehab, you can't fire them. They have ADA protections.

That's true as far as it goes, but an employee still has to regularly show up for the job he's been hired to perform. The employer has a legal duty to reasonably accommodate, but after awhile, it gets unreasonable to expect the employer to continually endure a series of lengthy absences, as has been the case with Mac.

I'm definitely not an employment lawyer, so I don't know the specifics, but based on what he said today, Mac approached management and said he needed to enter rehab. He wasn't just randomly not showing up to work before that.

This was not the first occasion when Mac left his show to deal with his problems, just the most recent. Also, from what I heard today, he told his program director off but good right before asking for this rehab leave. In light of that, it was generous of the Score to allow him to go, and it may have been well within its rights to fire him. He seemed to acknowledge that when I was listening.

I helped him with one of his "comebacks". I helped him after a knee surgery.

Under the law if he can't do his job they can fire him. If he's a drug addict and drunk, he can't perform his job. And neither, as far as I know, are recognized disabilities that would invoke the ADA.

 

He may have a special clause in his contract though, who knows.

I heard he is a pretty good guy outside of the ring when you get to know him

An outstanding individual. We had alot of fun in the clinic. He actually bought lunch for the entire clinic (pizzas) after his discharge.

I don't believe you, dead people don't need surgeries.

I understand giving him a 2nd chance but I swear this is like 5 or 6, it's ridiculous at this point.

Actually, alcoholism IS a protected disability under the ADA, and although one's present use of illegal drugs is not, a history of past addiction problems (even addiction to illicit drugs) is also. Of course, if an employee can't show up for work or get his job done because they are wasted or hung over, those ADA protections won't save them, which is to the point I was making before.
