5/27/08 A Sad day for Pittsburgh Hockey fans.

Mark Madden has been fired by ESPN radio. He made a pretty tasteless comment regarding Senator Kennedy’s cancer, but he was an unabashed Penguins supporter and that is going to be impossible to replace.

you couldn’t tell he was that liked when he came on the jumbotron announcing himself as the “super genius” and everyone booed as if they were booing jaromir jagr haha.

he sucks… good riddens

x2 never cared for the guy

word. i doubt he will be missed.

That sucks. I saw that he was suspended, didn’t hear about getting fired. I won’t listen to ESPN anymore. The rest of those guys suck.
I was wondering yesterday if this was going to happen. Fuck ESPN radio

AWESOME!!!

that fat motherfucker

never liked the guy. His voice just bothered me to no end. Sounded like he had a mouth full of food everytime he was talking.

lol i agree. He was very annoying

annoying yes…but there was always Pens talk…my wife will be happy she doen’t have to listen to him anymore.

truth

Exactly. I hated everything on the show BUT the Penguins talk. That’ll be gone now on the airwaves for good.

thank god, that guy would make the most ignorant comments about hockey.

some of his views were good. Sen Kennedy had it comming anyway.

its a shame thou Bob smizik can use his sports column to voice his personal views about other sports reporters. 7 years of being around the pirates andi’ve yet to run into that motherfucker. Pittsburgh has?had great annoucers but we’ve had equally bad sports reporters.

didn’t really listen to him much but what i did hear was garbage. good riddance.

I loved listening to Madden. he never talked about the pirates cause it is pointless. And loved to talk about the pens… I thought he was great. he is sports talk equivalent to Howard Stern

HA HA good riddance fat stupid ass

I liked him. He wasn’t drinking the kool aid like all the other Pittsburgh sports personalties.

I thought the man was great. He told it like it was. He said what nobody else had the balls to say. Sometimes he was wrong or went overboard, but this last comment wasnt as bad as its being made out to be. Kennedy killed someone, therefore I say fuck him, and the comment serves him good.

he worked with my hockey team a little bit. the guy is so annoying
