Oh no *tilts head back, makes with the teary eyes, and places back of wrist against forehead* freedom of speech is now dead in America!


OK thats all the anguish I can fake over this.

Somebody else take over for me please

williamzabka: I am so hoping that they fire Sileo. The guy is such a colossal douchebag. The Animal is your typical shiatty sports radio station with idiots named "Big Dog" and they always talk about going to their website to see pics of babes that they put up. The only thing I can even listen to on there anymore is Jim Rome.

Agreed on all counts.

Though if Sileo really did say "according to my source inside the SEC," he didn't commit any defamation like the Glazers are alleging (assuming he isn't making things up, which is entirely within his douchebaggy nature).

As for The Big Dog, he's a racist, sexist bigot. I've written about him before elsewhere.

jayhawk88: You know Rome wasn't too bad until they decided to go all comedy skit with the show half the time. He does decent enough interviews, and when there's a sports take to be had, it's usually interesting enough.

But yeah, I just really don't need to hear Yackity Sax for 15 minutes of national radio airtime, thanks.

Travis Rodgers tried to address this topic with Rome. Rome fired him after 14 years of loyal service.

And that's why the Jim Rome show is now run by a soap opera actor and is chock-ful of drops and morning zoo sound effects.

Rome canned Travis? :O

Then again I shouldn't be surprised, since anything Rome says that he thinks is remotely humorous is repeated ad nauseam for fifteen minutes, not to mention he has a Ph.D in brown-nosing. Back in the day when I first started listening to him he wouldn't go anywhere near NASCAR. Then it started making money and suddenly he's having all the drivers on the show and gushing over them like a pit bunny.

/haven't listened in close to a year
//poor Travis

srhp29: If someone told me you like to touch children inappropriately and then I turned around and repeated it (from a source) on the radio to a larger audience...who is the liable one for the lie? The person who told me, or me? Both perhaps, except no one can prove my source actually told me that, right? I mean, it would be their word against mine.

That depends on a few things. First, is the person you're talking about a public figure? Second, do you have reason to doubt the truthfulness of the information you are repeating?

Marisyana: Rome canned Travis? :O

The guy he dedicated an entire show to for his 10th anniversary? Yep. He didn't even say anything about it on the air, just suddenly stopped mentioning Rodgers as a member of the XR4Ti crew. (That's not actually true, he did make a sarcastic 'Travis is headed off to "greener" pastures, heh heh' comment).

Schrodinger's Casserole: Cowherd is the single worst radio "personality" I've ever heard

The fact he engineered an attack on The Big Lead alone makes Cowherd a dick at best and a criminal at worst.

zunkus: I have to admit I use to hate Colin Cowherd until sportsnation came along.

Sports Nation is awesome. It is a show specifically designed to prevent any aspect of Cowherd's dickishness from seeping through.
