OT: Pittsburgh tv producer fired for Brady “joke”

Bill Cowher says Bill Belichick helped Steelers win a Super Bowl

That's the second article Deadspin has put out defending this guy. Considering their hatred of Brady and the Patriots, that confirms that firing him was the right move by the station. I'm sure Deadspin would say it was a joke and minimize if someone put up a graphic insulting one of their favorites...

Have never clicked deadspin, and never will click deadspin.

Good stuff.

And this is also worth the quick read, IMO:

Bill Cowher again defends Bill Belichick over signal stealing

I believe all of you are missing the REAL point. What this shows is that the universe always shows you the way...it's your fault if you don't listen to that which dwarfs your existence as a galaxy of beaches dwarfs your grain of sand being. I know, a little arcane but let me explain.

I've been to Shytsburg...I wouldn't even take a dump in that fetid slag heap of a city.

Make my career in Pittsburgh? What, Kokomo Indiana wasn't an option?

Your career arc is a daytime slot on sports radio discussing the intellectual character traits of "noam sain!" Mike "Trippin'" Tomlin?

You have a MORTGAGE in Shyttletown that's tying you down? WHAT? A ****in' kid working a lemonade stand could finagle his way out of that minor consequence?

This guy says he has aspirations, he says he wants to expand his life options, his career, his family...the universe is telling him GET THE **** OUT OF SPLATTSBURGH!

So, it's all up to him...this could be the greatest event in his lackluster life to date. His choice...will he shed that cocoon and spread his butterfly wings? Will he fly upward and out of Dungheap, U.S.A....or will he slowly trudge into that grey oblivion that awaits every single denizen of Towel Town? In any event , I'll be over here in the corner, snoring and farting in the general direction of western Pa.

Looking at the comments elsewhere about this situation, there's a theme of "He shouldn't have been fired! He told the truth, Brady cheated and got suspended!"

There's some nice irony in that line of thinking since the ex-producer broke the rules at his job, but these people think he shouldn't be punished.
