He should win. They knew exactly what they were signing up for with Imus when they signed that contract. To now act like it's all out of character or surprising is bull. They can choose to keep him off the air...that is totally their prerogative. But it seems to me that
they owe that money pursuant to their contract.

The REAL Napster

Imus was crucified...like I said before. They threw him to the wolves. Now he's gonna turn the tables, good for him!
