Hey guys, I'm just seeing this and wanted to apologize to yall. FWIW no one listens to 790. I know Cellini's nephew and I know that Nick has always been a fool. frick them...don't let one station no serious sports fans listen to affect your view of Atlanta sports fans and radio personalities



This didnt affect or change my opinions of Atlanta or their fans


There is trash in every city. The majority of people in both cities would find this unacceptable and extremely classless.

That's fine, what I'm saying is I think that is a poor course of action.

But to mock them precisely because they have a debilitating fatal disease is beyond tasteless.


I guess its their fault for being a public figure. "Ha ha. He's dying a slow and agonizing death, but its ok to make fun of it cause he's 'public'. Ha ha." I think the dipshit is confusing libel/slander law with being a totally classless subhuman piece of shite.

or do, whatever, I can't control ya


You have nothing to apologize for. Hell, the Falcons organization have nothing to apologize for. If this brings more attention to ALS and Gleason's fight, then great.

I never defended the joke as funny. Jesus Christ.
But when you are out there in public eye shitty jokes can come your way and its part of it. Assholes out there will make jokes directed towards you. It's not a hard concept.

I, personally, don't think so. I feel the suspensions are warranted and apologies from the on-air guys mandatory for reinstatement. But that's just me.

It also isn't a hard concept to understand that their bosses don't want the kind of scrutiny that comes with them making fun of someone with a terminal disease.

I'm sure the guy is a major handjob, but you have to give them leeway. You want them to push te envelope because morning drive ratings competition is stiff in a market like Atlanta. As a radio fan I can appreciate this guy jumped off the cliff, and I think quality is better when entertainers take risk.

Additionally, all the moral outrage in this thread is preposterous. No one here is even the slightest bit upset unless they really have nothing else going on, and I guarantee you many of the outraged posters here probably complain daily about the "PC police"
