What’s amazing to me about Madden’s long pathetic existence as a public figure in Pittsburgh sports is that he cannot be happy about anything in local sports otherwise his listeners wouldn’t tune in.
Talk about a wretched existence! And Madden seems pretty miserable too.
A whole epidemic of Smizikitis running wild.
I think Madden loves the Pens (well he flat out says it) is indifferent about the Steelers, and loathes the Pirates and baseball like me.
I don’t really expect him to pretend to be a fan of teams he doesn’t care about, and there’s no doubt his stance on the pro teams in Pgh isn’t through rose colored glasses - so it pisses off the Yinzers.
I lived in Toronto for seven years, so I find it comical people get bent by Madden... let me tell you all about Toronto sports personalities... make Madden look like a p***ycat.
He’s kind of a dick, but he’s not really that bad.
Also people accusing him of making racists remarks are pretty much making things up... he’s pretty clear about how he feels about racism.
He displays subtle misogyny at times IMHO, but I never heard or read anything I considered over the line from him.
The article in question I’d have to read before making a judgment.
