Mark Madden is a fat, blowhard...


For those of you who don't know him, Mark Madded is a sports talk show host in Pittsburgh. I bacame familiar with Madden during my time living in Da 'Burgh. According to a recent column by Bob Smizik of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette, Madden had no love for Pittsburgh legend and recently retired Steelers broadcaster Myron Cope.

Madden is another example of a sports commentator in the vein of Stephen A. Smith or Bob Ryan. It's not good enough just to write about sports stories, they need to interject themsleves into sports stories.

Well in the words of Myron Cope "Hmm Ha and Double Yoi!"

Mark Madden is a useless waste of oxygen. His WWE style of creating fake controversy as a way to generate listeners is both disingenuous and annoying.

His big thing is to attack beloved Pittsburgh institutions like Stan Savarn, Jerome Bettis and now Myron.

He's somehow wangled a national Sunday morning show on ESPN Radio.

After 5 minutes it is completely unlistenable.

The best way to deal w/ the Mark Maddens of the world is to ignore them.

He kind of looks like Jabba the Hut too... if Jabba was a little more bloated and out of shape
