The end of Mark Madden? UPDATED: He's FIRED!

Apparently said on air today that he's sorry Ted Kennedy has a brain tumor because he'd always hoped he'd be assassinated.
After the short leash last year, I have to believe this is it for him.
Station apologized real quick.

I hope Madden chokes on a pierogi.

If he does get canned, the stench in the Mellon Arena press row will be no more.

I haven't listened to him much, but he seemed to be the epitome of everything that is wrong with sports talk radio.

He was the reason I got XM Radio.

To paraphrase a recently departed friend, Pittsburgh can do better than that foof.

Since he already wished death on a 13-year-old girl, how much worse is a 76-year-old man??

But, no one at ESPN's corporate level knew most of the crap he was pulling on the air until someone compiled a best of and sent it to them. At that point, Mark was cowering in fear that he was gonna lose his show, and ESPN promised they would closely monitor him. This ain't a first offense.

Is there audio of this? I have to listen to it, and in the meantime I'll wait eagerly for him to come on this board and rip all of us for bagging on him.

Has anyone ever just kicked his ass on the street? I'm 100 percent serious when I type this.

How quick is "real quick"?

And as others have said, I'll believe it when I see it.
