OK, here is my last Lee Elia link. The guy certainly is embracing The Rant on its 25th anniversary. I promise I have it out of my system now.
It's appropriate to remember Lee on this day when much of New York sports commentary has been devoted to another guy (perhaps) taking on the fans - Mr. Carlos Delgado of the Mets.
On one hand, the fans always win in the long run because they're the ones who never leave. On the other hand, the athletes and coaches they torment always leave with much of their cash.
By the way, a birdie told me WFAN hoped to have David Wright on this afternoon to discuss Curtain Call Gate, but he declined.
Wise move, sir.

Neil, I note that WFAN is not doing their annual radioathon but Imus is continuing it at WABC. Guys like Mike/Dog have spent last 20 years raising big bucks and doing a great job. Will they be participating in anyway with it despite the inter-station rivalry. I would think WFAN would encourage listeners to donate as they always have?
I will ask Chris tomorrow.
Thanks Neil. I look forward to hearing the answer as Mike/Dog have alway done a great job for the charities. To just give it up b/c of a programming change...
Jeff: I am embarrassed. I forgot to ask Chris your question when I saw him last night. I'll check with Chernoff.
