    I'll second that... the thought of a no-talent ass clown being capable of carrying around a stack of $100 bills is hard to swallow...

    Either corporate realized what happened or some advertisers checked in after the story hit the papers. Or both.

    Why doesn't this happen more often? I mean, really, why does shock jock sports talk radio make economic sense? A customer lost is often a customer lost forever. A customer gained often leaves with the next breath of wind, to wit, a major shitstorm caused by dumbass thing shock radio host said.

    I never listen to sports radio, but when incidents like this happen, I always wonder who advertises on these shitfests.

    Who wants their message mixed in with assassination wishes?

    That's the thing about Madden...he may have a decent share in ratings, but he brings in no money to his station. No one will touch him.

    And <u>that</u> is the issue. Ratings don't mean squat unless you turn them into revenue.

    That pitch still hasn't landed - and probably won't for a while.

    I got an email from a friend of mine tonight who is very close to the situation.
    GM will be looking for a new job tomorrow, Madden ain't far behind.
