    Oddly enough, written by a fat person who's also been suspended for saying stupid things.

    That's actually one of the better things he has written, and it pains me to say anything that could be taken as even the a little complimentary to Madden.

    But no, I did not laugh at what Avery said.

    No, been back on the air for a month or so...but it's failing miserably because they play music in addition to letting him spout his stupidity.

    Unfortunately, posting a link increases the number of hits, which makes the paper think Madden is really a big draw.

    Better to cut and paste.

    Read the comments section of any column he does...it's always the same 3 people...he's not that popular like he thinks.

    Well, at least this time he's not wishing death on 13-year-old girls.

    He obviously has a deep, deep resentment of anyone with a vagina. Completely understandable; he's probably never seen one in real life.

    You're giving the hookers a little too much credit there.

    I'm not sure if he still does it, but Madden used to brag about his love for strip clubs on the air.

    It's not about the comments, it's how many views the column gets. Now he'll get a lot of extra ones from the link here. Management sees that he's getting a lot of views and they mistakenly think the column is hot stuff.
