As part of the now-legendary Costas Now program from a few weeks ago, Hines Ward was featured and had some harsh words for ESPN Radio 1250's Mark Madden:
"I try to stay away from all talk-radio shows," Ward said. "For some reason, [Madden] don't like Jerome and I, and that's because he asked us to go on a couple of his talk shows and I just don't want to associate myself with that.''
In the time since that special ran, Bob Smizik did a follow-up piece for the PG and The Big Lead posted shortly thereafter, in a piece entitled, "Radio DoucheBaggery: Pittsburgh’s Mark Madden."
Needless to say, neither was complimentary.
Well, there's two sides to every story, and it's time to hear the other side. Mr. Madden has made his case in a recent article posted on 1250's website: "A Letter to the Post-Gazette."
I'm sure many of you out there are MFers (Madden Followers), whether you admit to it or not. Where do you weigh in on this blossoming controversy?
