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. ---

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 ---

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. ---

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 ---

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. ---
