DirecTV got Artie press credentials for the Super Bowl media day, just like they did last year. He pissed off Belichick last year.
Call me crazy, but I really doubt Artie gives a fuck at this point. "You mean the heroin addicted felon who stabbed himself is homophobic!? I'M SHOCKED!"
His employers care and he put a target on his back IMO.
They already stood by the show when Nick and Artie both royally pissed off Asian rights groups. They had listeners call in and tell the most racist Asian joke they could think of, and there were several groups demanding they be fired. It'll probably blow over, and I wouldn't be surprised if they like the publicity.
Here's what wikipedia said about it:On the February 15 Nick and Artie show while discussing "Lin-sanity" Nick and Artie were accused of urging listeners to call in with the most racist joke about Lin and Asian-Americans they could think of. A media storm followed and the show was attacked by media outlets including MSNBC commentator Ed Schultz who branded the show "racist".The following day Nick and Artie apologized on air while also claiming what they said was taken out of context. Their apology was accepted by groups including The Media Action Network for Asian Americans (MANAA) who praised DirecTV for how they handled the situation
Yup so did Yahoo sports

The derogatory comments I made yesterday were a reflection of thoughts in my head, but they are not how I feel.
It has taken me seeing them in print to realize that they are hurtful and ugly. Those discriminating feelings are truly not in my heart.
Further, I apologize to those who I have hurt and offended, and I pledge to learn and grow from this experience.

Funny, I didn't hear him once say he hates the gays. He expressed a personal preference and even supported their right to talk about their preference 10 years after they retire. Besides that, sexual preference is nobodies business. There's a certain little thing in sports called team chemistry and the fact of the matter is a flamer would upset the chemistry.
Artie even gave him a chance to get out of the statements but he didn't take it.
Wow. Just glanced at an article about this literally a few minutes ago. I saw the words "shock jock" and immediately thought of Howard. I guess it's hard to train my brain at the fact that Howard no longer has balls.
Good for Artie though.
USA Today called him "TV host Artie Lange".
KoAM
"Shock Jock Artie Lange" makin' some waves..
