ed podolak 'retires' from 'hawk' radio broadcasts

Let's not forget the two Hawks fans -- one who was married, the other there with a significant other -- who got caught having sex in a stall at the Metrodome while people watched and cheered during the Minnesota game.


Mike Hlas at the CR Gazette wrote a really good column that gets into most of this stuff:

Word for word, D-3.
As an alum, Iowa City has always been a football town with a drinking problem.
I watched plenty of football and drank plenty of beer during my time there, and I've done some tailgating in the limited time I've been back in the past 8 years or so. But I was always there to watch the game, and you definitely got the feel that some people weren't and aren't.
Easy Eddie was a great color analyst and he'll be hard to replace.
But he wrote his own ticket out of town by getting caught in (and posing for one of) those photos.
For all of the problems Iowa and the football team have had with drinking, he should have known better.
Now he has to "retire," and so it goes. I'm sad but not sad for him. He had his chance and gave it up.

 

whaaaaaaaa???????
