Artie mentioned on PTI

[Gogol Boobdello]

Saw it on CNN too. I feel bad for Culliver the media is going to try to turn him into a monster and create a narrative about the "Homohophobia in the NFL."
Plus he plays in the worst possible city to voice that opinion.

plus the fact that the Raven's Brendon Ayanbadejo is a big supporter of gay rights growing up with numerous gay/lesbians close to his family.

[Big Bird]

Good for Artie

[mpa]

all pub is good pub.

He should be allowed to say whatever he wants; he should be smart enough to not say anything (well, not really, he seemed pretty dumb)

Nearly all skilled players are fuckin morons, it's just the nature of it, it's reaction and athleticism and these dumb fucks were really really good for a long time, not sure why we should take anything serious a dback or wr or linebacker says, they must have a median IQ of 75

[Chucky]

he's released a statement. Jesus why does EVERYTHING these guys say get made into such a big deal? THEY'RE FOOTBALL PLAYERS! who CARES what their thoughts are!?

Dopes in the media think they should role models, go figure as to why that is.

Drudge Report has this as their major headline now lol. Artie got himself some good publicity by screwing this guy over who was nice enough to talk to him. I know he didn't make Culliver say it but Artie definitely knew what the reaction would be and what the buzz he'd get from it would be.

A lot of people feel the way he feels, but aren't fucking stupid enough to say it in an interview. Culliver screwed himself over, not Artie.

How do you figure Artie knew that the guy would be anti gay? Even if Artie thought the guy might be anti gay I doubt he would have thought that he was gonna get that reaction (even though to me it was not a big deal)

He prefaced the interview by saying that he hoped he wasn't going to get Culliver in trouble. I don't think he knew which player would say something like that, but I think he set out on media day hoping to find a lesser known player who would say something "controversial." Once someone said it, he knew the free publicity he'd get from it. No way did he not know that it would get play in the media ahead of the Super Bowl. Also, he finished the interview as soon as Culliver said what he did which made me think Artie knew he got the clip he wanted. I'm sure a lot of people were there at Media Day trying to get players to stumble into the same situation.

[fatstuff]

I thought it was funny. What's the big deal. Artie went from asking about doing white chicks to gay people dude probably just got caught up on that and said he don't want to do gay people. Why can't a guy not like gays?

Listening to the show at the time I didn't really notice it, but then it was just a matter of time before desperate media outlets took it out of context and made a story.
I don't think any of them would play the whole piece.

Is there anything Artie can do that you wouldn't have a problem with or negative reaction to? You're like Gunnar's evil doppleganger...

[NoddinOff]

Like other posters said its not arties fault, the guy could of easily said "no comment" like the one guy did about the banging white women question. You really do have to be a compete numb skull to say that in front of the camera and not expect it to be blown out of proportion.

Exactly! If it was Nick in Artie's place and the same exact thing happened, he'd be singing Nick's praises saying what a great job Nick did and blah blah blah. Again, for someone who hates Artie as much as he does, he sure watches Artie's show an awful lot.

[Leakyroof]

rarely watch PTI but for some reason i was yesterday. all of a sudden kornheiser goes: 'shock jock artie lange'. and i laughed.

dont know if it was posted in the thread but here it is:
http://espn.go.com/espnradio/play?id=8898860

its the first story they discuss, 40s in to the clip.

[Murcielago]

Good for Artie to get some attention, I suppose, but I'm so sick of this sanctimonious posturing. This isn't about anyone being seriously outraged at what was said, it's an opportunity for blowhards to seek public approval by feigning outrage.

yea, it's pandering.

[TakeRicola]

You know it's big news when it gets picked up by swedens largest newspaper.



"Culliver was a guest at Artie Langes radio show “Tusday” on Yahoo Sports" lol

In soviet Sweden facts are irrelevant.

[remdeprived]

The kid got sandbagged by Artie. I feel bad for him. I don't think a Bro would have aired that interview.

[j shmuck]

I'm glad that Artie got some headlines but after listening to yesterday's show I wish he would lay off the "gay questions" to every other athlete that comes on the show. I listen to his show to get laughs, listen to sports talk and hear from Artie's fellow comedians and athletes in a much more laid back setting.

I don't listen so I can hear lectures about society and gay issues, we get enough of that elsewhere
