I must admit I'm not sad that Macrae has been MIA for so many months at the "Top Dog" but I can't help but wonder is he being punished or in rehab? His delivery and schtick is boring and stale so again the void is not a problem. Anyone wanna share the facts,....Neil???
HMM, I guess since 'NW has all the investigative reporters no one wants to bite the hand that feeds them. He must have a good set of negatives in a safe somewhere to keep himself employed this long and not working. Sure curious about the truth ? short of that any opinions?
Actually he has more airtime on the ads for leaky roofs and used cars that run all day long on NW than any sports reports or comments he has done recently.
I suspect that he wisely has such an iron clad contract, NW is stuck with him even though he doesnt work!!! short of the endless boring commercials where he thinks saying "crap" is funny. Neil - thank you for all your years but take a chapter from Messier and don't embarass yourself anymore.
Yes I hear he's back on 'NW from his "break". There promo the "bad boy" is back. OOOO he's so provacative I wonder if he'll have a new nose? wrinkle free from the face lift? or if he's shaved his head due to his "break" being similar to Brittney's? Let's see, what were the circumstances for her head shaving again??
He'll send more people over to AM1040 once he starts with his old, tired, negative wit. It barely worked for Al Davidson and he just became an embarrasment in the end. We enjoyed the break.

EXACTLY. "The Sedin Sisters" one liner is growing abit stale.
MacRae still the best when it comes to delivering hard hitting sport report. Love him or hate Neil, still a ratings winner. Entertaining, funny, sarcastic, straight shooter. Will be remembered as a "top Dog" in sport Vancouver. What you fail to realize that he is entertaining the listener like no other. Big Ego but when you deliver a report like his the act must come off.
I see MacRae as someone who knows very little about sports, as evidenced by his mispronunciation of names off the waiver wire. He can push the buttons by saying controversial things, but he doesn't have to defend or debate those points.
MacRae's act still works. He is the "angry man" with a sense of humor. The one thing I'll say about MacRae, he might not be a walking sports encyclopedia, but he understands "show biz" and thats the most important component any broadcaster can have, and quite frankly some of us don't understand it enough.
Although it's embarrassing to hear him apologize on the air.
He has to grow some stones and take these legal threats head on otherwise the jig will be up and the people he criticizes will know they can shut him up with a letter from their lawyer.
The Aquilini apology must have been really painful. Didn't he take his hiatus right after that?
