I'm going to resurrect this thread a bit...
One, I found Darren, sort of. It appears he has an hour long NASCAR show on WLAC 1510 with Liz Allison, whom he did an hour show once a week on his pregame show anyway. I've never heard it, mainly because I'm not much of a NASCAR fan, but at least he still has something going on.
Two, now I really think he got a raw deal since not long after he left, 104.5 not only introduced the new show 3 Hour Lunch (replacing Jim Rome), but now on Plaster's show they regularly have some 3rd guy (can't remember his name). Maybe that guy is a lot cheaper, I don't know, just seems weird to have a 3rd guy show up after you claim you can't afford McFarland.
