One of them replied to an email I wrote

I agree it was in poor taste and hindsight should have given it more thought, I apologize for offending.

The crew of Mayhem in the AM,

Way to keep it classy guys, making fun of a Man with a terminal disease. There is a rivalry between the Falcons and the Saints no doubt, but making bits about a dying man is tasteless. Gleason can't even talk or feed himself right now and he is 1000 times the man any of you degenerates could ever dream of. I hope this act cost all of you that participated your jobs.

Hoping you pull your head out of your collective asses,

Gleason Fan for life

It's worth noting that this has nothing to do with the Falcons or their fans. Message boards are getting a little carried away with that angle.

Looking at Twitter, it looks like a lot of media attention across the country. It sucks that this shitty story is overshadowing the piece he wrote on SI for MMQB.

I quit listening to 790 the Zone in the mornings because Nick Cellini made disparaging remarks about mentally handicapped people when discussing the film “Radio.” His pal Chris DiMino once called Elton John “An English sissy.” There’s a reason 680 the Fan kicks 790’s tail in the ratings.
apparently this is the norm with these slapdicks

Good. I understand making a mistake but this is something that should never cross the mind of a normal human being, much less on the radio. To think someone actually had to come up with this idea and someone else probably approved of it is disgusting.

Go to google voice and set up a free Atlanta phone number. Forget calling the station. Call the Atlanta newspaper and act like you live there and are offended.

Not even a Saints fan but that's fricking pathetic.

I have had two family members die from ALS and I truly admire Gleason for all he's done and been through.

Hope those assholes rot in hell
