re: AJC.com poll...was the firing on 790 deserved?

I've repeatedly stated I do not associate these idiots with falcons fans or Blank, Smith, etc. It is not a reflection of them or their character. There was plenty of outrage from ATL as well.

Of course we have all come to respect Gleason and his platform was primarily provided due to his playing career, ties to the saints. If some fricktard on any station performed the skit my reaction would've been the same. I look at Steve as a guy who is a couple of years older than me, also with a young son. He is unable to show his son that he loves him in any of the ways we commonly associate with a fathers love. I couldn't fathom being there but being trapped inside my own body with my eyes being my only method of affection or communication. The fact that Gleason blocked a punt against the city in question's franchise/rivalry between the teams couldn't matter less to me.

The pre produced skit of going after a guy who has done nothing but positive things for others, after receiving one of the most cruel death sentences imaginable in his mid 30s is fricking heinous and I'm reallygglad those shitheads got axed.

I am 31 years old and have hated the falcons as long as I can remember. So frick those bastards; I hope they don't get another radio gig

That being said......I can't imagine anyone on this board stating the outrage saints fans feel any better than what you have posted.

Steve Gleason is a beloved part of the Saints family (Orgaization & fans). Not just in New Orleans but in the entire state and the gulf region. When this terrible disease does cause the good lord to call him home....the proverbial tears cried by devout saints fans would overflow the Mississippi River. We love you Steve
