Dontfade me.com seems to be have a very strong connection to a company called The McBride Group - www.mecrazy.net .

The President of the McBride Group is Jeff "Spaceball" Schwartz -
"Who am I? I'm the expert with an attitude. I'm the expert with a sense of humor. But then again . . . nobody said experts had to be boring. When it comes to Fantasy Football, the list of experts only goes one name deep. Millions play, hundreds are self-proclaimed 'experts,' but only one is a Fantasy Football legend."

One of the V.P.'s of The McBride Group is none other than Spike Manton (speaking of media graveyard) -
"A gifted comic with a keen sense for business"

Does he have to pay royalties to Tom Petty? I may never be able to listen to Wildflowers again.

They have to be kidding; a bunch of ex radio people saying they can create marketing concepts and plans? The only experince they have is in this market - besides the idiots who buy into North's gambling site, what client would jump in with this group?

there are some real radio luminaries there.

Spaceball is well known - he launched Steve Dahl's and Mike North's career. Just ask him. ;)

Has beens like Pete McMurray and Spike Manton (I wish he'd go BACK to Iowa).

Spaceball's right hand marketing guy (Ken Churilla) from a number of his radio lives.

and you say it's the "McBride Group"? So it's named after Mr. Skin? Jim McBride. Go figure.

This is radio's answer to these Chicago television has beens:

When I read this I had the same reaction as Bluto when they showed Ken Dorfman's slide on the picture screen.

Spike Manton! The second half of possibly the most untalented duo in chicago sports radio history.

I could have sworn the Mc Bride group would be the project of Dahl castoff Dave Mc Bride.

Well played, Mr. Cerebellum!

Yeah, I don't think this is all Pappy's. I think he's got people behind him including Mr. Skin. He's got Spaceball.

Man, the profits are gonna be split thin. Especially since few people will buy this. He also has to pay his experts: Jen, Hub & Fred.

That's it. CSF and Sore670.com will now cost $99 a month as well! and I am bringing in Johnny Morris, Bruce Roberts, Tim Wiegel and Robin Earl to help promote it!

I have always had the dream to charge a bunch of money for this stuff.
