Pretty much. If most of us said this at work, we know we'd be fired on the spot and we wouldn't blame anyone for doing it. That was the look in his eyes when he gave his apology. He knew it and wasn't even going to fake an apology. I hope he doesn't get cancelled. I could see him getting demoted and that's less about outrage and more about his damaged credibility. It reminds me of when it was impossible to listen to Marv Albert without picturing him as a cross-dresser.

And honestly I don't understand why he has to be fired. In a reasonable world he would be suspended for a few weeks/months and that would be the end of it. But we live in this snowflake hugely over-twitterpated universe that just waits to be triggered by things like this, so he's almost assuredly gone.

Exactly. What's next? Goodyear Tires?

As a bisexual man, I am forced to side with you this time KC. Simply no excuse for that.

Have you heard your new theme song yet?

It's probably the greatest piece of music ever composed.

I'm fairly certain the link is still on the main page

I would grab onto his balls like I was at the grocery store tryna determine how soft the fruit I was about to buy was while working his shaft down my throat like he was tryna take a throat culture

FWIW, he looks rek'd over it.

Maybe they liked to smoke a lot

Just watched the video. Truly bizarre. He screams it out w/ no audible context. Then a few seconds later he starts broadcasting the game.

1. I highly doubt what he said was true.
2. How does he know
3. Why would he even have said that in the first place.

BTW this is like a Brockmire episode come to life.

Season 3 he meets the Atlanta Braves radio guy that he is possibly replacing who is an outright racist.

This is like Billay meets Prison Bitch.
