The days of big money for local hacks at the Score are over with the national programming. If Rome has a slot, thats less money for local talent in the budget. Mac is lucky that Bernsies contract came up at the bad time.

Plus who says Fatpants goes with Mac? Heavy Fuel Crew reunion, and let Fatpants do the filler 2 hours in midday.

Yeah, that's pretty much how it went.

Mike was guaranteed the first 13 weeks of his contract. And nothing else. Mike North's fucking of himself has gone down in radio history like the Lou Brock trade did in baseball.

Shortly after Mike left radio ratings went from a written diary, to the more accurate electronic style of tracking listeners. North's ratings would have risen instantaneously with the first book.

North made Zimmerman a radio legend for what he pulled off.

Ok. You seem to know how it went down. Only 13 weeks guarenteed? That sounds like Zim was just buying himself time to find North's replacement.

Don't think for one second that Zimmerman doesn't proudly tell this story at CBS corporate functions. Have a big laugh over it while sipping on a martini. "I knew that dumb ass would eventually just fall on his sword, Mr. Moonvest. The size of his ego was only matched by his stupidity. I knew he'd walk." That type of thing. Don't think these things don't help him with his bosses who are always looking for ruthless, shrewd execs to help them cut costs.

Jim Rome does have a slot...on the new CBS Sports Radio Network middays 11A-2P (CT), but it's unclear how much CBS Sports Radio programming will supplant Yahoo! Sports Radio on The SCORE weekends. The new sports radio network officially debuts Wednesday, but I know as much now as I did a few weeks ago. In plain English, I don't.

I went to an astronomy fashion show with Les Moonvest.

North was getting too big for his britches and Zim wacked him mafia style!!!!

I'm only on page 4, but this statement is just not true.

Having the guy across the table not sign the 600 Large per contract you offer is not a whacking. How many today are even anywhere near that number?

For the love of God, I'm allowed some poetic licence.

Seriously though, Beerstain is one of the lamest things ever written on this board.

Considering the source, the irony is it took several hours to come up with.

Let's try and advance this speculation. Advancing speculation on a rumor from a racist source is fun!!!!

So if Mac did leak this to Elmhurst Steve, I'm gonna guess that Mac got this information from Mitch that talks aren't going well. That it might not get done. Cuz we know Mitch loves Mac and would tell him such things.

I'm also guessing that it's probably somewhere between a month to 6 weeks until Bernstein's current deal expires. Nothing to base this on. I'm just saying if this is coming out now it can't be too much longer than that. Panic from the talk show host starts to set in at about the 6 week mark in these types of things. That's when you start thinking a deal might not be struck.

IOW you are talking out your ass like always.

Mr. Moonvest? That's not his name. It's Les Moonvest, and he's the really BIG boss at CBS Corporation. The same Les that actually suspended Howard Stern when he used his former radio show as a shameless plug for Sirius/XM Satellite Radio before Stern signed off in 2005.

Look at Elmhurst Steve ignoring the questions about how he was mocked on Mac's show.

I can't say that I have any idea what you are referring to. I saw Mac at the Score remote at Champs recently and spoke with him there for a while, but didn't hear anyone say anything about me on air-except for Dan mentioning my presence there and it feeling like old times on the afternoon show. If I were aware of what you were referring to, I would have probably commented about it. But I would guess that whatever comment you are referring to, was one made in jest and not worth the time to worry about. As far as this thread goes.....you may have noticed that neither Lil Danny boy, nor his minions have said anything about this being eroneous. That's because it's true.
