George always had the Freedom to do different things, like be a Father Figure to so many of us night owls on the Sports Machine. He was never Careless, a Whisper among the louder generation of sportscasters. On that national show, he never showed any bias, and invited his viewers to also Listen Without Prejudice.

My Faith in the journalism industry is once again shaken. Do they NOT Know It's Christmas?

I remember hearing him on DC101 about a year ago, and if I remember correctly, this writing has been on the wall for a little while now. I think it was about the time the woman was added to his show.
 
If anyone added Lindsay Czarniak to the show, it was George. He never let management tell him what he could and couldn't do there. He also thought really highly of her, and for at least the last decade actually brought in women who at one point weren't ready for DC and helped get them there because he saw their potential. I've heard from more than one person that he was an asshole to work with sometimes and could be an insensitive ****. But those he respected he went to bat for and now this is twice where he was told to lay off some staff and he put his name at the top of the list.

As a kid, I used to defy my parental units' mandate, sneak out to the living room at 10-till midnight on Sundays near the end of the month just so I could catch the Sports Machine's bloopers of the month. Before SportsCenter and CNN, that **** was gold.
