I thought Mac lost all of the books to B&B following the switch to the new rating system.

I am not a legal expert, how many times do I have to say it?

You mean the one where results are based on actual listeners, not what someone writes in a book?

Why do all the radio guys who's ratings plummeted always blame PPM?

I dont think so.

I'm pretty sure they battled back and forth, and were mostly pretty much even.

Unless you completely dismiss the old school ratings, my point remains.

He ressurected ESPN from nothing and whatever station he's on seems to win.

I cant seem to find a date that the switch to PPM was made, but Mac left ESPN right around the same time. Not sure he was on MJH for the PPM ratings and if he was it might have been one summer (White Sox) book

The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born; in this interregnum a great variety of morbid symptoms appear.

* Better point the thumb if I'm pointing the finger. My WMVP-AM (1000) radio show, the ''Mac, Jurko & Harry Afternoon Saloon,'' didn't keep its heavyweight title belt in '08. We were clipped by the talented but boorish ''Boers and Bernstein'' program on rival WSCR in the fall Arbitron afternoon-drive ratings.

A half-dozen times or so over the last several years, the Saloon has been No. 1 among adult men. That happened only once in '08. Anything less is unacceptable. We need to do our jobs ''a whole lot better.''

* * Also on the radio ratings beat, it's nothing shy of embarrassing that ESPN's nationally aired ''Mike and Mike in the Morning'' has become the highest-rated sports radio program in any time slot in Chicago. They do a fine show, but it's best consumed in markets such as Bangor, Maine, or Enid, Okla., or Salem, Ore. In big towns like ours, local sports talk never should lose to a more vanilla national show. Shame on all of us.

I want Bernsie paired with a gay, black man who was abused as a child and has CTE from unfortunate ballet accident. Then all his fetishes will be contained in his partner.

Count me in.

This "I'm not gonna research the point" standoff between Douchebag and RPB reminds me of the sibling battles over who had to pick up the phone when it rang in my youth.
