If he works again it will be in a small market like New Mexico and he won't be syndicated.

Grilled New York strips (PRIME BABY!) w/spinach and marinated artichokes, done on the grill as well. plus....

I don't listen to the station so I couldn't care less who they put in to take the place of Imus, but if the go the Mancow route that station is only going to sink even more. Talk about a no talent.

Word. Imus never was funny, and yeah he did bury himself. He should have apologized and then should have shut the fuck up. Talk of the ranch and sickle cell was just complete stupidity. End result may have been the same, but he probably wouldn't have to spend the rest of his life in a hole. Watch closely as his old lady prepares to file divorce papers. No way she sticks it out with the crypt keeper, it's time to cash out.

There are indeed fascinating. I wonder who the seller/owner is.

What moment of glory? How about Kentucky's? They won the fucking game. Geograpically close - Tennessee won the game. Yes, my bad it was Tennessee. See how much we pay attention to women's college basketball.

I get tired of seeing this framed as a "free speech" issue. If I had a radio platform with an audience base in the millions, and I one day singled you out on my program as a pretend-gourmet and a weekend child molester, would you airily dismiss this slander as a case of me exercising my right of free speech? I doubt it. You'd look for an attorney. You'd see what recourse you had in the law. You'd try to hurt me, free speech be damned. The "child molester" vs. "nappy headed hos" is a bit of a stretch, no? One is speaking of a serious disgusting crime. The other is an unsult. Calling me a "pretend-gourmet" would be spot on unless I was Bobby Flay or Mario Batali. Then I would consider it nothing more than criticism. No different than if Imus said these girls didn't know how to play the game. Your argument about slander is complete bullshit. It's not like he said "I see these bitches on the street soliciting prostitution every night, they're a real a real bunch of whores, I tell you". That would have been a different story. How the fruck could that basketball team prove he meant they were prostitutes or slept around? Didn't he say the Tennessee team was a cute? Should they sue him for sexual harassment. He had the right to say it whether is was a joke, opinion or whatever. They had the right to fire him, end of story. Law suit? No fucking way.

They didn't deserve it, no doubt, and I'm all for cutting some slack. But this is not a country turned against a women's college basketball team. The negativity came from one irrelevent white senior citizen male radio show host, that they more than likely had never even heard of before. If these young women were in a club or at the mall and a total stranger came up and made those comments, I'd have to believe their reaction would not have been tears.

Huh? How is free speech affected? The man was fired because his sponsors bailed, not directly because of what he said. And even if it was directly because of what he said, that's something his boss is free to do as well. I believe your thesis needs a little work... Free speech will be affected because of what the aftermath from this mess will be. Watching CNN tonight I can already see it. There are people out there that believe Imus should have been put in jail and others (including at least one board member here) believe he should be sued. The shit is hitting the fan, my friend. How much shit? We'll have to wait and see.

Oh shit!

Is Bobby in the shower with Vito and Johnny Cakes?

Gotta have red, it's the real deal. I don't drink white anymore with the exception of the occasional Pinot Grigio.

More like in the final episode they are going to flash back and show there was some kid that witnessed Bobby kill the dude and drop the gun all while hiding in a dryer with it running and the kid getting bonked in the head with the sneakers inside there with him.

Yeah, what a crock. It's not like women's basketball gets a lot of press, so no doubt the publicity has more than likely helped her and the school.

Hey man, who you callin' a HO? If you prefer, I could call you "tiny bubbles".

Careful, that could very well be 1249.

Cappellini with red clam sauce.

Who knows, you may very well be correct on the "rookie mistake" angle. But they already went back in time to show Tony drop a gun with a kid watching. As for the story writing, yeah that's been my a little gripe for me since the beginning. Many inconsistencies and stories that had no finish. It got really bad as the seasons went on. I think it was the first episode when Junior is yelling at Tony, "you may run North Jersey, but you don't run your uncle"! Only to find an episode or two later that there was not only a true boss in prison, but an acting boss as well and it wasn't Tony it was Jackie Aprile. I could name a hundred. Still, I'm here to see it to the end.

Only problem is they (CBS,NBC) hung on to the guy all these years while knowing he made questionable or offensive comments before. I'm curious if he collects on the rest of his contract. I think he has close to 5 years left.

Typically there is nothing wrong with that since I believe he was wearing latex gloves. Plus he was in Canada, better to drop it than have to bring it over the border. The bigger problem was that dude ripping his shirt and maybe still clutching the piece of it.

Wrong. As loath as I am to defend Snoop, this is what he actually said: I don't think the correct quote makes Snoop look much better. Guy Exactly. Snoop goes on to say that he is talking about his lyrics coming from his mind, soul and are relevant to what he feels. So, does that mean if Imus admits to being a racist or being sexist all is good? After all would that not be the same? Imus simply says, "I ain't no black dude sittin' out there in Compton, I'm just speaking how I feel". Snoop makes himself look like a fucking moron.

Sued? That is completely ridiculous. If these young women can't get over this, then they are in for a real rough ride in life. Like said before, Imus should have been shit canned for lack of ratings or the fact he is a boring asshole. While I won't shed any tears for Imus, but I do think the whole thing is a fucking circus hosted by a clown named Sharpton. An interesting take.... Imus isn’t the real bad guy Instead of wasting time on irrelevant shock jock, black leaders need to be fighting a growing gangster culture. By JASON WHITLOCK Columnist Thank you, Don Imus. You’ve given us (black people) an excuse to avoid our real problem. You’ve given Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson another opportunity to pretend that the old fight, which is now the safe and lucrative fight, is still the most important fight in our push for true economic and social equality. You’ve given Vivian Stringer and Rutgers the chance to hold a nationally televised recruiting celebration expertly disguised as a news conference to respond to your poor attempt at humor. Thank you, Don Imus. You extended Black History Month to April, and we can once again wallow in victimhood, protest like it’s 1965 and delude ourselves into believing that fixing your hatred is more necessary than eradicating our self-hatred. The bigots win again. While we’re fixated on a bad joke cracked by an irrelevant, bad shock jock, I’m sure at least one of the marvelous young women on the Rutgers basketball team is somewhere snapping her fingers to the beat of 50 Cent’s or Snoop Dogg’s or Young Jeezy’s latest ode glorifying nappy-headed pimps and hos. I ain’t saying Jesse, Al and Vivian are gold-diggas, but they don’t have the heart to mount a legitimate campaign against the real black-folk killas. It is us. At this time, we are our own worst enemies. We have allowed our youths to buy into a culture (hip hop) that has been perverted, corrupted and overtaken by prison culture. The music, attitude and behavior expressed in this culture is anti-black, anti-education, demeaning, self-destructive, pro-drug dealing and violent. Rather than confront this heinous enemy from within, we sit back and wait for someone like Imus to have a slip of the tongue and make the mistake of repeating the things we say about ourselves. It’s embarrassing. Dave Chappelle was offered $50 million to make racially insensitive jokes about black and white people on TV. He was hailed as a genius. Black comedians routinely crack jokes about white and black people, and we all laugh out loud. I’m no Don Imus apologist. He and his tiny companion Mike Lupica blasted me after I fell out with ESPN. Imus is a hack. But, in my view, he didn’t do anything outside the norm for shock jocks and comedians. He also offered an apology. That should’ve been the end of this whole affair. Instead, it’s only the beginning. It’s an opportunity for Stringer, Jackson and Sharpton to step on victim platforms and elevate themselves and their agenda$. I watched the Rutgers news conference and was ashamed. Martin Luther King Jr. spoke for eight minutes in 1963 at the March on Washington. At the time, black people could be lynched and denied fundamental rights with little thought. With the comments of a talk-show host most of her players had never heard of before last week serving as her excuse, Vivian Stringer rambled on for 30 minutes about the amazing season her team had. Somehow, we’re supposed to believe that the comments of a man with virtually no connection to the sports world ruined Rutgers’ wonderful season. Had a broadcaster with credibility and a platform in the sports world uttered the words Imus did, I could understand a level of outrage. But an hourlong press conference over a man who has already apologized, already been suspended and is already insignificant is just plain intellectually dishonest. This is opportunism. This is a distraction. In the grand scheme, Don Imus is no threat to us in general and no threat to black women in particular. If his words are so powerful and so destructive and must be rebuked so forcefully, then what should we do about the idiot rappers on BET, MTV and every black-owned radio station in the country who use words much more powerful and much more destructive? I don’t listen or watch Imus’ show regularly. Has he at any point glorified selling crack cocaine to black women? Has he celebrated black men shooting each other randomly? Has he suggested in any way that it’s cool to be a baby-daddy rather than a husband and a parent? Does he tell his listeners that they’re suckers for pursuing education and that they’re selling out their race if they do? When Imus does any of that, call me and I’ll get upset. Until then, he is what he is — a washed-up shock jock who is very easy to ignore when you’re not looking to be made a victim. No. We all know where the real battleground is. We know that the gangsta rappers and their followers in the athletic world have far bigger platforms to negatively define us than some old white man with a bad radio show. There’s no money and lots of danger in that battle, so Jesse and Al are going to sit it out.

Hapy Birthday, Evan!
