Wants to? I'm sure he does regularly.

Feder is just the Dave Meltzer of Chicago radio.

I heard Matthews on with someone the other day getting interviewed about some new Jesus book he wrote. Apparently he's big time Team God now.

Isn't he the guy who moved his number one rated afternoon drive guy to the web stream only - all because he didn't want to attend his induction into the National Radio Hall of Fame? Then basically fired him when he drew the AM terrestrial listeners away? No ego involved there, huh? :lol:

He also got his buddies some great money contracts before leaving WGN. All because they were suck ups and let him win at golf.

Take notes, Score Guys, that's how you survive under Jimmy d. My guy tells me that he is one of those bosses that loves his keyster kissed.

If that's the case Bernstein and Holmes will be applying triple coats of lip balm.

I think DeCastro wanted Roe at WGN but Roe screwed Garry out of a contract back at WLS and there was bad blood there, so Garry got screwed again.

I need to correct you here, but Garry's wife screwed Garry out of a contract at WLS

I know she was involved too, but I think Roe and Garry each said they wouldn't sign an extension without the other guy and then Roe signed one without Garry anyway. Still, don't hire your wife as an agent.

here's a good article from the time.

It's worth noting she also ruined the Steve & Garry partnership. I'm sure she's a great wife and he loves her, but she really should stay out the the contract dealings as she cost him 2 (possibly 3 if we count WGN moving him out for Roe) good jobs.
