In other words, Mr Imus's words have been seen as an offense to all women.

This does not bode well for this man, not at all

I'm glad you brought this into the conversation. I watched both the Shoot Around, which was won by a female, and the women's play off...felt a real sense of satisfaction for my kind. I happen to also listen to Imus in the early mornings....hearing him belittle the accomplishment was yet another one of those "slight humiliations" we females have to hear all the time when we demonstrate a level of competence in "a man's world."

Imus will not get fired.First of all his show is a radio show that MSNBC has decided to simulcast.He's not an employee of MSNBC but of WFAN radio which is owned by CBS.He brings in more revenue in 4 hours a day than the rest of the programming does the rest of the day.If MSNBC decides to stop simulcasting his show he wouldn't care less.This will be old news by the time the derby is run.

I jest.

Jest about what? Your friend's not really British?

This is not going away.The reason why is because there is too much similiar stuff on tape that they can show everybody.People,this is not a one time deal here.The "heavy" (Bernard) has said so much stuff like this,and Don is on tape laughing,and then saying his comment was unfortunate.Well,he knew very well what he was gunna say.These are like guys hitting a tennis ball back and forth.If you think Blacks don't care about it,you are f'n just wrong.Just today a guy is telling me about The Williams Sisters,and how these 2 guys joked about how they had a better chance of being in National Geographic(rather than Playboy.) See,this is not on here.They are gunna have so much fuel.MSNBC will be accused of turning a blind eye.The least that will have to be done is can Bernard.If they are gunna clean the show up then he really would be out of place anyways.My God,some of the stuff he has said while portraying a priest??? Oh man..If they start looking at that,this is gunna get worse n' worse.

If they get rid of Imus then i'm sure XM or Sirius will pick him up. If it were me I would've been negotiating with the sat providers years ago. F*ck the FCC.

I have only seen it on T.V. Have never just listened to it.That is unlike Stern(who was NOT carried live on T.V.) This is not the same.This is a bit older audience,and not as hardcore loyal as the Stern fans.

SCUDSBROTHER 04-09-2007 09:55 PM

The show is o.k..........Not something good enough to pay for(I don't think.)I ain't paying for that detective guy(BO) to take up time on there.I mean making up fake words used to be funny.It is old now.

Yeah but XM and Sirius are notorius for overpaying. He should cash in before he dies.

The guy can hardly catch his breath on there sometimes.Something is wrong with his lungs.Something chronic.If he fights to keep this gig it will be for the people working for him...How much longer was he gunna do this,anyways?

When he was younger he was a chronic drug and alcohol abuser,
I'm not sure if he was a smoker

FYI: Imus is a very sick man and has emphysema.

I agree with Scuds....Bo has to go. He's just not funny. He's actually pathetic.

And in a contrite gesture, Imus should publicly fire Bernard and replace him with an African American.

ArlJim78 04-10-2007 08:53 AM

I find it amusing when they refer to Imus as a "shock jock"

When was the last time he was shocking?

And when's the last time the guy wore a jock strap?

And the last time he did, he probably used a peanut shell and a rubber band.

I mean the guy's guests are people like John McCain, Tim Russert, etc.
I guess if you're inside the beltway this stuff is shocking.

I WAS hungry.
