Who proudly claims ownership of a name like Mantalk?

That would be, according to him anyway, the aforementioned Bill Bege, who co-hosted the "Mantalk" show in the 90's on WMBM, WFTL and I think even on Supertalk. I remember tiny ads running in the Miami Herald promoting the "Mantalk" program, claiming the show was better than Neil's. He may have a case. Good luck to him. Hope he wins some cash-ola. Not that James-Crystal would have any to give. Don't they have a multi-million dollar judgement against them from their (mis)handling of the the Jennifer Ross deal? Anyone know if they ever paid up?
 
Yes I do believe I read that was overturned on appeal. Wonder if that pertained to Jennifer too?
