...and your point is?
Because mine would be something like "Who Cares?" or "He sux."

Please validate your point. It's easy to say he "sux" but I remember him being very popular with the staff and listeners, correct me if I'm wrong. He certainly knows more about Fantasy football than anyone they have now.

How Stephen Hawking-like. Do they award a Nobel Prize in "Who Gives a Fat, Rat's Ass-onomics?"

I would ask you Milenniumchef to validate your point... please forgive me if I haven't heard anywhere else, where did you hear that Spaceball was going back to WSCR?

So a guy that really couldn't lead any of the stations he's been at - his numbers at the Score, CKG, MVP were never very good - is going back to be on air; another example of the incestous nature of Chicago radio.

And we all wonder why the on air product is so bad. It's because you don't search for new talent - you recycle the same old crap - your firends - and pass it off as good. This explains why failures such as Hayes, Rosen, and Spaceball continue to be hired.

Oh, and when Mike North gets sent away, there will be a place for him where some of these guys end up.

I don't know why but that one had me rolling.

Everyone loves space which is his primary goal in life. That's a good goal for an entertainer but not very good for a manager.

Space's forte is promotions. He is undeniably good at that.

Yeah. I don't know how I'd get along every morning without my ROAR of the day.

People I know in the industry love him because they say he is unlike any other radio exec. They say he is honest and generous to his employees, thus they are willing to do anything for him.

I did hear some personal stories, but as an outsider of radio, I can only judge from his time at AM-1000. Not too good of a run there.
