Interesting.<BR/><BR/>Madden was like any other shock-jock. He made a living off of people taking him seriously, and callers who were not intelligent enough to realize it. Amazing how many of those people there were. Hurt by words.<BR/><BR/>We now resume your boring, politically correct, ass-kissing, homer sports talk radio show...garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18390337286772352264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29664856.post-42332002804388031372008-06-01T19:32:00.000-05:002008-06-01T19:32:00.000-05:00Good Riddens!

He was about to escape from this also until the newspaper wrote what he said. The aftermath was too much for ESPN, who tolerated the most foulmouthed, despicable pig in Pittsburgh radio history. He called Myron Cope a drunk dozens of times, he ridiculed anyone who wouldnt do an interview with him, told callers he didnt like, that he had sex with their mother last night, He constantly hung up on callers after calling them losers, He would have segments on porn stars and their specialties, even had the women on air at times, slandered many icons, was very racist, he would often tell black callers to go sell crack in Homewood (a black neighborhood). He despised women. If they called, he would ridicule them call them "toots" and hang up on them. He never once in years, mentioned a woman he dated or a fiance. Never said, my girl and I saw this movie last night….etc. He often talked about oiled up 1/2 naked wrestlers, strip clubs and living with mom into his 40s. You do the math here. He should have been fired years ago. All ESPN cared about was money.

I always hoped Senator Kennedy would live long enough to be assassinated.”<BR/><BR/>Madden’s final show was last Thursday – it is unknown if he has been released from his contract by ESPN but will not be returning to his daily show. Apparently ESPN wanted to keep him based on how strong his numbers were but it was made into a huge issue locally and it forced their hand to do something.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
