Good news for the “Poisoned Dwarf.” Sprint Nextel has selected at least three finalists to pitch its U.S. creative account: Goodby, Silverstein & Partners, Ogilvy & Mather and Young & Rubicam. Which means the “Diminished One” has a 2 in 3 chance of picking up the over $1.2 billion account. Pretty fucking good odds, right? Except when you consider that the single agency they have to beat is Goodby, Silverstein, which in my opinion is still the best Godamn agency in the US. Sprint Nextel, which spends all of that $1.2 billion annually in major measured media, is looking to consolidate consumer and b-to-b duties at a single shop. Total revenue on the two pieces exceeds $40 fucking million. That’d keep the “Poisoned Dwarf” in Concorde tickets for a while. Oh, I forgot, it doesn’t fly anymore… Maybe he could buy himself one. But first, O&M or Y&R has to win the business.

OK, you O&M and Y&R fuckers. Here's the deal. Let me down on this and you can kiss your nuts goodby!
