Wow, what a failure on Madden's part. So much for that tested IQ of 166.

filaponi had a topic a few days ago in which he argued pedro would have 30 home runs this year.
The same Filaponi who said two weeks ago that Pedro should not be anywhere near a major league roster?
Someone will call and agree, and Poni will berated the caller for believing something so stupid.

Oh come on, I listened to the same show and he said no such thing. He said it might be a reason for a few people. And if you don't believe that there are a few people out there who like hockey because it's primarily white, you're delusional.

So his point is that some people are racist? No one should argue that, but to associate race with the sport of hockey is wrong.

Also wondered this as well, he was on with Dunlap today. Maybe he's the new John Burton.

Ive actually heard multiple state they like hockey because it's only white guys. It's disgusting, but that sentiment does exist

I'm a little surprised they took that RB after he threatned to kill his girlfriend....I don't care about the smoking pot at all, but I do think the Steelers need to avoid guys with a history of abuse towards women.

JR was a morning show host on 100.7, part of the CBS "family" ... he is a DJ and may get some PT work as a sports show host but he won't be the new Jon Burton. Chances are the "new Burton" will be alot like the old Kalena Bell. :scared:

I can't stomach Vinnie anymore so I've been listening to Trib Live Radio around lunch recently. John Steigerwald has been out of control. Wow.

I loved that the Fan played an interview of Rolle using nothing but Benz's questions from the X morning show.

Apparently Starkey tore his Achilles tendon playing basketball. Now the 2pm-6pm crew have a concussion expert (Seibel) and an Achilles tendon expert.

Well .. driving home from a Pens game once I heard the X (network) play back a locker room interview with Letang that was all Colony questions .. it happens in scrum interviews. Plus, it would probably surprise many of us who are hardcore sports followers that most people don't recognize who is asking the questions.

I saw them going back and forth last night on twitter about wanting a Brad Lincoln song for the morning. I was on the verge of telling them both how awful and unfunny everyone thinks those songs are.

A guy here at work used to work in radio, he told me that radio DJ's make meager salaries. I was just glad to know some of those guys aren't getting compensated well for their crappy product.
