   Once again, CBS looks amatuerish with their "WE'RE NUMBER 2!" announcements.   
   If, and hopefully when, Dave beats Jay regularly, then they'll have a right   
   to crow. I do like these releases for their comedy value though.   
      
   And for what it's worth, I do find myself switching over to Ferguson a whole   
   lot more lately.
