Today, former Saint Steve Gleason guested on SI's MMQB—no mean feat since he's in the later stages of ALS. He types using a program that tracks movements of his eyes, and his 4,500-word column took him four hours to compose. Around the same time the column was published, an Atlanta sports talk radio show did an entire segment, based on the premise that his computerized "voice" is hilarious. It was really, really bad. This morning, 790 The Zone's Mayhem in the AM did a bit where hosts Steak Shapiro and Chris Dimino interviewed "Steve Gleason," played by co-host Nick Cellini. Outrage immediately spread, largely thanks to the Tiger Droppings board. But no one could find the audio, until New Orleans station The Ticket aired it this afternoon.


per the fine folks @ Deadspin

TD, creating justice and getting thugPOS morning radio show hosts fired one day at a time..

Used to listen to those guys on the way to school. They've been on the air for as long as anyone. Good reminder of how fast things can be undone. They crossed the line.

ATL Radio Show Hosts Fired Thanks To their stupid choices


FIFY. Can't possibly understand how anyone thought it would be a good idea to make fun of a man dying from a debilitating disease. Not only did they make fun of him, but they portrayed him as wishing he were dead. that's just low. I wouldn't wish it on them or anyone they love but how would they feel about someone dying of ALS being used as a laughing stock?

It's crazy that it wasn't nixed before it hit the air. I would have liked to have been in the production meeting before to see how that went down. What on earth were they thinking?
