Shame. Nice to know the lowest common denominator of society won another round. Imus needs to get AIDS.

Fixed. What a loss :nopity:

From the other thread about the entertainer of the lowest common denominator...

Upon further research, I discovered exactly why Imus must have felt that he could get away with saying anything his heart desired. This is not the first time he has publicly made some type of racial insult on his show. He actually referred to Sen. Barack Obama as “that colored fellow.” In addition, he called award-winning journalist Gwen Ifill of PBS a “cleaning lady” and referred to columnist William Rhoden of the New York Times as a “quota hire.” According to a November 20, 2001, Newsday article, Imus’s sports anchor Sid Rosenberg said on the air: “Listen, one of these days you’re gonna see Venus and Serena Williams in Playboy.” Imus replied, “You’ve got a better shot at National Geographic.” Rosenberg also referred to Venus Williams as an “animal.” On the November 12, 2004, edition of “Imus in the Morning,” Rosenberg referred to Palestinians as “stinking animals” and said, “They ought to drop the bomb right there, kill ‘em all right now.

that **** is ****ed up. rosenberg is an angry violent man who needs to accept that israelis do not belong in Palestine. However I am a fan of IMUS and dont really know why they fired him. Sharpton and jackson have both made extremely anti white remarks. Jesse jackson called NYC "heimytown" and sharpton accused a white man of raping a black girl for absolutely no reason, soemthing like teh shanequwa bali case or soemthing, idk. Anyways, the world is racist, its funny, deal with it.

I'm with you 100%. Based on his personal history, Sharpton's got no right calling anyone racist. And if he's going to attack the language people use, he ought to listen to a few rap albums before casting stones at white people. Rappers are among the worst (if not the worst) proliferators of foul, derogatory, hatful language. If someone can demonstrate otherwise, I'd love to see it. If Sharpton doesn't want people using words like ho, he should get "his community" to lead by example.

Opie's chosen insults this morning went far outside the realm of acceptable.

If he had been black, I would have let it slide but as a jew, he had to get the boot.

my two cents...everybody has blown this out of proportion...but...who watches/listens to women's b-ball ? nobody that i know of. Imus is on early in the morning when most people are either sleeping or working, that means i (and most everyone else)hardly ever hear his program either. i've listened to imus and watched women's b-ball ...boring most of the time...both of them. amen.

Anyone remember Michael Irvin from last year?
Once the suits at ESPN hear the latest garbage to emit from Michael Irvin's mouth, Christmas may come early for NFL fans who have long grown tired of his idiotic shtick: Maybe theyll fire his ass
On Monday, Irvin went on the Dan Patrick radio show. If you've got ESPN insider, you can listen to the audio here. Irvin showed up late; he sounded a bit off kilter. Before long, he was incoherently babbling in a manner that once got Jimmy the Greek fired from CBS.

At about the 3:42 mark in the above link, Irvin mentions that Tony Romo outplayed Peyton Manning Sunday, and then says, [there must be] some brothers in that line somewhere (laughs to himself) somewhere there are some brothers I don't know who saw what, where . [maybe] his great, great, great, great Grandma ran over in the hood or something went down (laughter)

Dan Patrick, sensing disaster, jumps in and says, that's the only way to be a great athlete?

Irvin comes back with, No, that's not the only way but it's certainly one way [maybe his] great, great, great, great Grandma pulled one of them studs up outta the barn [and said] come here for a second back in the day (more sinister laughter)

Patrick steps in to diffuse the situation by saying, Alex Haley in Roots on the Dan Patrick Show.

Irvin, who will certainly will be ticketed for bojangling by Jason Whitlock for this outburst, kept cackling and came back with, something like that, followed by another devious laugh.

Patrick's tag team partner, Keith Olbermann, then jumps in to avert further disaster and says, Let's steer out of this skid and changes the subject.
It really is unfortunate that Tom Jackson wasn't a guest on the show perhaps he could have topped his classic are you retarded? line from September.

The story hasn't quite blown up yet the Fort Worth Star Telegram makes a passing mention, and Pro Football Talk has it. We recommend hustling to the audio link ESPN will probably wipe it from the website sooner than later to spare itself the embarrassment.

I used to work at a restaurant called Country Kitchen (kinda like Perkins or Denny's). We live in a college town so we had a pretty ethnically diverse staff. Now that I think of it...seems most of the wait staff was white (chicks) and the behind the house staff was a mix of white, black, and a few asians sprinkled in.

Anyway...the black guys would get togther and talk about the soon to be coming race war. They'd stop when I came around, but I'd overhear enough to know what they were talking about. One of the guys and I came pretty good friends and we'd hang out etc. I asked him about the race war thing that they were talking about..."So in this war you would kill me just because I was white?" Response..."I gotta do what I gotta do."
