You have controversy with one of your stars (like we Bronco fans have had with Jay Cutler, I hope Jay grows a pair and comes back) and when you get him back, you have a tard talk show host making crass statements about him like that. Call me delusional but the Broncos are going to be on the verge of taking the AFC West.Brad Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13456357334026142358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221516.post-59376865512781870892009-03-18T11:04:00.000-04:002009-03-18T11:04:00.000-04:00Ok, we're all desensitized here but I think it's t...Ok, we're all desensitized here but I think it's the specificity of the comment that warranted the firing. He could have said "LT can shove the turkeys" without losing his point, or he could have said "ass" in any other context, but saying "shove the turkeys up your ass" crosses any FCC standards line. And the part about the charity only kept his bosses from waiting until Friday to can him.Greg.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04758720206456987678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221516.post-40676652196043849562009-03-18T06:40:00.000-04:002009-03-18T06:40:00.000-04:00It's not that "radio has become so goddamn PC in r...It's not that "radio has become so goddamn PC in recent years." Not at all. Radio has, in fact, gotten a lot more edgy than it used to be. Go back ten or twenty years; you think you would have heard anybody from the porn industry on the radio? <BR/><BR/>In fact, that's the problem. Sports-blab programmers want their hosts to be "dangerous," to stir up controversy -- but if a host goes just a jvwalthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16429002956258312544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221516.post-55136645457663345862009-03-17T18:38:00.000-04:002009-03-17T18:38:00.000-04:00Radio has become so goddamn PC in recent years, th...Radio has become so goddamn PC in recent years, that you can get in trouble for saying words that seem innocuous. The other day on the Mike O'Meara Show(formerly Don and Mike), they were talking to Jenna Jameson's former agent/publicist/whatever, and the subject of how the male stars "prepare" before scenes came up.

He was obnoxious, uninformed and constantly made brilliant observations like "the padres will be very good" and "the chargers suck."
