Opie and Anthony's last XFL show 2.24.01

That was a great idea... the XFL.

Those two have managed to attach themselves to more sinking ships than rising stars.

The difference between Howard and O&A? Don Buchwald.
 
O&A have a very good manager, Bob Eatman. The only problem is that they came along 10 years too late. They've still done VERY well for themselves at the end of the day.
 
He also represents other "hot talkers" like JV and Elvis (who were heard in this market for a few months on 92.3) as well as Kidd Chris.
 
A good manager wouldn't have let them sit out their CBS contract doing nothing for 2 1/2 years. He would have said "keep the money" and negotiated a better deal somewhere else for them while they were still an item. They faded into obscurity for that time period. They then went to almost obscurity of XM Radio. Their big chance was coming back on 92.3... again, a better manager would have negotiated a way out of the XM contract so they wouldn't have done the "phone it in" show on 92.3.

They're not poor, that is for certain. But I'm sure they haven't had the type of impact that they wish they had. They are partly to blame for that, but so is their manager.
