He's not the only one who thinks this

Does he work for ESPN?

Nope. He works for NBC. I was thinking John Madden too.

Please elaborate

Who?

Mark Madden was incredibly annoying anyways, so I can't say I care what the reason for his going is, I'm just glad he's gone.

But yes, that was an incredibly stupid comment to make.

If so, then the OP's title should instead be "Pittsburgh sport talk show host removed from air by ESPN", as the current title is somewhat misleading since the only Madden 99.99% of the people on ATOT know about is John Madden.

Yeah no kidding. Is this a national show? I've never heard of Mark Madden.

Me neither.

typical shock jock idiocy. maybe he needs a malignant tumor placed in his testicle then get assassinated. he knows the only way he can get a job nowadays is to play the shock jock crap because he has no other talents (if you want to call being a shock jock talented that is.)

 

[BassBomb]

was he floating?

 

[Stuxnet]

I have no problem with assassinating Ted Kennedy.

Wait... what was the question again?

 

[buck]

What was he thinking when he said that?

I don't see how that would be remotely funny

Agreed. I have no problem with his suspension.

 

[CJZ]

I remember hearing this guy on the radio when I lived in Pittsburgh. They should have fired him back then for being so annoying.

 

[Howard]

Whoa, John Madden?

Madden removed from air by ESPN
Wednesday, May 28, 2008

Mark Madden, who made his reputation with bold, outlandish attacks on famous people, has been permanently removed from the air by ESPN.

I agree

OP should put Mark in front of Madden

Just because ESPN was trying to grab bogus headlines doesn't make it right.

Please name on commentator on Fox News who stated something similar in recent months, with proof. We have it on all day at work, and I have never heard anything remotely similar.

Not true! John Madden has passionate views on pork. He loves it in all its forms.

And who the hell is Mark Madden. For a second I thought my #1 football dream came true and they decided to yank the real Madden.

At least I finally know where mosh lives
