Think John Bunting doesn't feel like an ass the 26 times he hears the name "Willie Parker" each week. Of course he does.<br /><br />The same can be said in all walks of life and all professions. For example, I used to read another Pittsburgh sports blog until I was turned on to a better alternative, Mondesi's House.<br /><br />Madden is a big turd in a small pond.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-1154982135727655832006-08-07T16:22:00.000-04:002006-08-07T16:22:00.000-04:00Madden is an ass clown.Madden is an ass clown.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-1154699260581349702006-08-04T09:47:00.000-04:002006-08-04T09:47:00.000-04:00bern1,If the Pirates ever learned anything.

Less said about him, the better. <BR/><BR/>Nate Washington can play. As can Willie Parker. The Pirates could learn that there’s something to be said for having trust and demonstrating faith in your young players.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-1154608999164792302006-08-03T08:43:00.000-04:002006-08-03T08:43:00.000-04:00Was Lousiana Tech that big a deal in the late 60s?...Was Lousiana Tech that big a deal in the late 60s?

He goes out, grabs the mic, tells the fans they're idiots then insults their favorite wrestler. <BR/><BR/>This gets a reaction out of the fans. And, although they hate him, they still tune in to watch him hoping maybe he'll get his one day.<BR/><BR/>Replace the "bad guy" wrestler with Madden, the wrestling fans with Steeler fans, and the wrestler the bad guy wrestler insults with Steeler players and staff. Same exact schtick, and it's been making millions of dollars in the pro wrasslin biz for about 100 years!<BR/><BR/>In fact, I'm pretty sure that Madden was actually in the pro wrestling biz for awhile. <BR/><BR/>So, now that we all see where he gets his act from, can we just forget the guy exists?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-1154559922674010852006-08-02T19:05:00.000-04:002006-08-02T19:05:00.000-04:00Raul,Madden is like a lot of these sports commenta...Raul,<BR/><BR/>Madden is like a lot of these sports commentators today: They say things not because they necessarily believe them, but because they think it will stir up conversation. Madden knows how to get ratings, just denegrate the Steelers or Steeler fans. He's no dummy.<BR/><BR/>Take Madden's unceasing, unrelenting defense of Barry Bonds as an example. He doesn't care about Bonds, he just takes a contrary view to get listeners to call in.<BR/><BR/>About four years ago I can vividly remember Madden saying one day that the Steelers were on the verge of becoming such a bad team, blah, blah, blah. He's wrong about as often as Bob Smizik...and he flip-flops like Smizik too. That's saying something!worstavidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12141180171798154645noreply@blogger.com
