Hey Rock, I don't know what you're smoking, but send some out my way.
Think about it. North and Jiggs weren't the top talent on the old 820/1160. The top talent was on afternoon drive, the HFC. You don't put your number one talent on middays. After North forced the program shift to go solo, what happened? He couldn't hold a solo gig in the afternoons, they teamed him with Buffone and that bombed. That wouldn't qualify him as the number one talent.
They shift him to mornings - and that POS Murphy's outdrawing him by a mile. He's not your number one talent - wasn't, and never has been. How he was signed to this contract is beyond my comprehension. How he earned/bought induction into this POS Hall of Fame is beyond me.
And yet when it's time to move to other media, who do they use? Pappy. If not their best talent, then their best personality. Except, it is a characture (sp).
Our "buddy" is sort of a tweener -- a little bit more than needing a partner; not having enough by himself to carry a show. Someone who appears interesting enough to try in other venues, but not enough to carry those, either.
As for Murph, I know you don't like him, but we can infer that he has enough talent and/or skill and/or discipline in his on-air personality to draw better than Pappy in equivalent shifts. B&B I think get better ratings in the afternoon than Pappy, too.
