It's too close for me to call between the Jays' near mutiny and l'affaire Letterman.

Had ACTRA been a credible threat against you, though, rather than a virtual fist shake, my views may have differed.

My vote is Jays all the way.

Letterman is in a good position and likely won't take much heat over the whole thing. Whatever flack does come his way will blow over. People cheat all the time. doesn't make it right, but the guuy's funny and people have done much worse and been forgiven.

Radio countdowns are rigged, no real news there. Everything about radio is rigged now.

The Mr. Sub thing is just dumb. they made a shitty ad and then tried to strongarm you when you brought it to the attention of the public.

But the Jays...that's the biggest one. the long-term future of the team could be determined by how this plays out. Come next year the front office and the fielded product could look a whole lot different. It's no contest.

My vote echos that of Steve.
Letterman took control of airing his dirty laundry instead of leaving it up to the tabloids and other media forums to put their judgemental slant on his personal life....Good for him and he will be fine after the dust settles.

Radio countdowns are rigged and what method determines the ranking....I would rather hear your top 200 by way of your blog than a radio stations. It merits much more credibility to me.

The Sub thing is just a horrible ad and the fact that Argie endorses it is even more horrible. Speaking of Shitsorms Shame on Subway and shame on Argie.

As for Cito and the Blue Jays.....How sad he can go from Hero to Zero in such a short amount of time. No matter who's managing, the players aren't as talented as those on the Yanks and the Rays.

@Jill - not meaning to nitpick, but it was Mr. Sub, not Subway.

Still looking for the Letterman admission video, not having any luck, unfortunately...

Favourite?

Mike, that's an odd way to put it. Certainly I couldn't have "favourite" of these.

Ask me which is most significant, and it's clearly #1 and that disrespectful ad. In the larger context, #2 is really irrelevant except to certain Blue Jays fans. #3 is a private matter. And #4, as others have said (in addition to an earlier posting I made) can't be a surprise to anyone who knows anything about the radio "business".

Yikes!! I meant Mr. Sub. My apologies to Subway. I think I was craving one of their meatball subs when I posted :)

I vote for 102 and the Jays, both have been near and dear to me and yet they both fail me
