IIRC, Mike Lupika was already a sports writer for the NY Post when he was on IitM. He went up from there, but hardly an unknown in the NY area. I always thought Charles McCord was the brains in the outfit. Imus was too stoned. I remember the time he, on a break, went into the janitor's closet, thinking it was the men's room. He was so blotto never knew any better. McCord had to go find him. I think that's when he got the "opportunity" in Cleveland.
The FCC is one thing, but you don't want to mess with the Janitor's union!
Not being a big follower of sports, I didn't think of him as well known at all. Imus used to tease him about being somewhat short. He was very likable and interesting.
Really? You were there? LOL!

You could say more or less the same comparing a ford fiesta and a rolls royce

I think you'll find that a Rolls will move more passenger-miles per hour than a Ford Fiesta. ;-)
A fully-loaded city bus and the RR would be a more meaningful comparision/analogy.
But more passenger miles per hour per GALLON? Perhaps, but i somehow doubt it, having actually driven and fed both. . . . . .
The point was that his analogy sucks.
Criomps are probably easier for d-i-y.
Or even crimps...
Is that your best attempt at an insult? The only solder work I did was to troubleshoot some boards. There were two complete ground stations. One fixed, one mobile. They were shipped to Italy. The last I heard, they wanted a second mobile ground station because the ESA facility was so small. That caused front end overload at launch for the fixed station. A good +60 dB above what they specified in their purchase order.
I worked in production test & engineering on that project.
Yet you can find both sitting on the side of the road, with steam pouring out from under the hood. :)
Tell me why I should care?
