He's getting himself into trouble all over the place. Too bad because I do like to watch PTI from time to time, when I find myself in the vicinity of a TV.

This guy posted a transcript for those who prefer to read

In the comments people that listen to the guy on a regular basis claim that he is joking as part of his cranky old man shtick.

I just read about this a$$ this morning. I sent a comment to ESPN. I don't know if anything will be done about him. But it made me feel better to vent. It is just sad and shocking the attitude of the people on his show. Bob Roll's beef was really good.

I was listening when he said it. I have ESPN radio on while I"m working and this was his local 10-noon show. I like him and always seem to be defending my liking him to other people. As he started into this bit, I was sitting in my office shaking my head and talking to my computer telling him that he was now making it impossible for me to defend liking him.
I do agree though, it is his "shtick". But clearly he doesn't get the ramifications of even making jokes like this. I was so pissed I haven't listened to him since, so not sure what more has been said. I may go back to listening to him, but I'll probably be a closet listener from now on.
I haven't had a chance to read Bobke's response and since I'm not listening, don't know if Kornheiser's addressed any of the flak that I'm sure he's getting. And yes, he seems to be getting himself in trouble all over the place lately.Last edited by Possegal; 03-18-2010 at 08:26 AM.

I haven't heard this so I'm just piling on here....
there is a Boston radio personality who did the same thing many years ago. Took cheap shots at a young man who had died at the hands of a drunk driver. It was all part of his shtick but it crossed the line for me. The boy had been my kids' camp counselor and was everything you'd want in a son.
I haven't listened to Howie Carr since, but apparently plenty of people do since he is still on the air.
