So they don't have anywhere to keep Colony, yet they have room for three talentless DJ's on 'The Drive'?

You have got to be kidding.

I concur. Colony was better than all 3 of them on the Drive. Although I do like Eddie Crow. Not for his sports knowledge though. He just entertains me.

In an ideal world, we'd see Mr. Colony reunited with Mr. 8.7 on 105.9 and the two of them would stick it to management at the world-wide leader.

Wow, not that I listened to 1250 much after Madden got canned anyway (and yeah, he probably deserved that), but that's the last nail in the coffin for me. No Colony = no 1250.
