August 1: Foot In Mouth Disease

Dropping bombs and taking names. Well N-bombs and taking names of people offended by you, that is. At least thats the life of Riley Cooper these days. The Philadelphia Eagles wide-receiver got himself in a heap of trouble, after video of him shouting a racial slur at a Kenny Chesney concert recently. Mike Vick wants to him to be given a second chance. Did Vick, someone who has been awarded many second chances (cough, dog fighting, cough), have to say this, or is he really as forgiving as his words dictate? What are Coopers other teammates feelings towards him now? Do we need to hear from Chip Kelly about this? Its political incorrectness, and you know Mike "the Buzz-saw" Asti and George "the Howitzer" Gerbo enjoy all that is not PC. From one buffoon to some others. Major League Baseball is negotiating with Alex Rodriguez on his up-coming PED punishment. BUT Bud Selig isnt happy with just any punishment. Baseballs commissioner has an axe to grind and is calling for a life banishment for A-Rod. Mike explains how overreaching like this may actually hurt the game more. With no precedent for banning someone for life based for performance enhancing drug use and involvement in such scandals, is it even possible an eternal ban would stick upon appeal? Separate from the forever cloud looming over Americas past time, the trade deadline has come and gone. Or should I say was never there in the first place? Few big names changed squads. Why was this? Should some sellers have been more active? Do any of the contenders, namely Pittsburgh, deserve any criticism for a lack of moves? We conclude another gold quality broadcast with a special buzz-sawing session about why college football pre-season rankings DO matter and why the idiots who think theyre irrelevant make the world go round. The Howitzer and Buzz-saw Show conquers sports radio, one day, at a time....
