to add to it, there's stuff on google that says "minneman is still considering DT gig" that is dated in dec. JR posted the other day it was MM's 1 year anniversary of joining, therefore those marco rumors don't add up. roddy came out and said a lot of things that were dismissed by the other guys about the auditions (IE: wildoer) and i think marco himself blasted the doc, therefore i don't believe this rumor even if marco chimed in and said he turned it down for "side projects." how does THAT make any sense? everyone in DT has side projects.
and yes, mangini fits perfectly, but you brought up the point of marco as if to say it was fact, but there's no evidence that it is fact, and moreso, there's a lot of evidence to say it, in fact, is not...fact.
(that last line was fun to write!)
