Deadspin reporting, gives TD a shout out.

Deadspin is saying they were fired too. Which is the first I've heard of it.

Ohhhh,
The guy blocked a punt. He didn't cure cancer.All of a sudden he can't be made fun of?
Remember Imus? Didn't walton and johnson make fun of stephen hawking cause he offended their fake god?
And don't get me started on the shite Stern and opie and anthony have said over the years.
Its a free f....ng country, and yes it was a classless joke, but they have a right to say it.

You're damn right they have a right to say it. And they also have a right to be fired for it.
