This, in a paper that he's publicly ripped more than once but now accepts a check from since he's been bounced in the Pittsburgh market.

http://www.timesonline.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=18800430&BRD=2305&PAG=461&dept_id=478568&rfi=6

He's so nonobjective about the Penguins, it's laughable. Conveniently forget to mention how the Penguins pissed everyone off from the city of Pittsburgh to the county of Allegheny on down during negotiations for a new arena?
 
Has any insignifcant figure gotten more run on this board that this clown has over the years?
 
Do you have any links of him ripping that paper? I would be curious to read them.

One of the true shames is that Perrotto is stuck covering the Pirates.

Perrotto is very good where he is. Baseball is what he knows best.
I'll look for links, but it may have more been his radio show.

Oh yes he is, but this late in the season, who is reading what he writes about the Pirates? The stories lose relivance in about June, when the Pirates give any playoff hopes away.

Actually, proud to say...never listen to his radio show, it's why I bought XM.
 
I'd go to Meltzer if I needed to know what Trip will do next. Madden was a joke in WCW and he's a joke everywhere outside of a wrestling ring.

That must be wrestling...of which I don't follow

And you probably are a better person for it.

I loved it in the 80s and 90s though.
 
When someone writes, "But I loved the team. Still do," it should be their farewell column.

The sad thing is the paper will see a couple of hundred extra hits this link has generated and think he's really drawing readers.

This reminds me of almost everything I hate about Madden. The kissing of the Penguins' collective asses at al times being near the top of the list. And of course, any excuse to take a dig at the Steelers. Not because he believes any of it, but because he knows it stirs things up.

And of course, lecherous comments about women. Not that I've never made a comment like that in my life, but to do it in a professional outlet is a disgrace and an embarassment.

I am truly ashamed that so many people in my beloved hometown listen to this idiot and read what he has to say.

I am ashamed just to have clicked on that link. I don't bag publicly on members of the media, but unfortunately there are some small factions of Pittsburgh that are old-school enough to think that massive tub of self-producing gravy is still worthy of a laugh. Oh, and I'm sure his mom would love the fact that he objectifies women the way he does in such a public forum.

Now I'm just waiting for him to post here and fire shots at anyone who criticizes him and his self-serving and sexist ways in 10, 9, 8 ...

Do it, Mark. I dare you.
