Ugh. I never said it was funny. But when you put yourself out in public eye you are fair game for anything.
Magic Johnson aids jokes are fair game and many people made them.

kenyon may have a point but I find it distasteful.

I'm more curious as to how this affects their other hosting gigs. All three of them do television shows as well. Dimino is in big with the Braves too.

As I said, their work, views, or statements are fair game, not their tragedies. If they want to make fun of themselves, that's their business.

Mr. Blank may take his football team and go home(to 680 the fan) after this.

I did. Im looking past where this is now, and hoping shell pick it up and bring Gleason on the show. More awareness for him and the foundation.
My father died in March of ALS. Our family is in constant contact with Michel Gleason. We work with the LA ALS Association. We are putting the first quilt in the Team Gleason house made by people from Coasta Rica where my aunt (fathers sister) and her family are missionaries.
Any way that ALS gets more recognition, awareness, which leads to funding is worth a shot.

MJ looks as healthy as a bull. Alright, 2 bulls and has what appears to be a normal functional life. Gleason, not so much.

Imus broke the one rule of radio/TV
You cannot make fun of black people. Stern does it but he gets away with it I suspect because of his enormous ratings, huge following and having robin as his right hand man

Bingo.
And not because he once played in the NFL. He has worked with the media to put his story out there (don't blame him)

Mostly, he gets away with it because he only works 3 days a week as is.

And things like this advance the message, possibly in some cases more than "feel-good" stories.

I'm listening to "The Zone" on my phone. They're playing the apology from this incident practically every commercial break. Interesting.

And what disease would that be?
