    ESPN 710 loses A Martinez and Andrew Siciliano, gains Max, Marcellus and Screamin' A.

    Damn, I'd rather listen to Dr. Laura ass raping Glenn Beck for 2 hours a night.

    "authoritative voice."
    On what? How to lose an audience?

    With ESPN's new enlightened approach to sexual harassment Stephen A is going to have to tone down his radio act.

    The stuff he says now to his co host would be a law suit waiting to happen at ESPN.

    Does not seem long ago when he hit the ESPN airwaves with great fanfare. I believe they touted him as the next Howard Cosell. Show was dead on arrival after his suck up A Iverson interview.

    ESPN's made a big, fat sustained bet -- and lost.

    To be effective, he needs to be contractually-obligated to limit himself to the NBA, and the city of Philadephia.

    Outside of those guidelines, who needs the aggravation?

    Siciliano's pretty good. Steve Czaban was outstanding. So SAS has helped push both of those guys out, at two different networks?

    First congrats on SAS for getting the deal. He never really knew or cared about Philadelphia or Philadelphia sports teams. His niche is the NBA.

    Just a figure of speech. I'm glad that he's got gig.
