After letting Max Kellerman go last week, ESPN has parted ways with another prominent boxing personality. The contract of popular boxing analyst Andre Ward wasn’t renewed. Ward made the announcement himself on social media. Ward wrote: “Tonight’s show was the last fight under my ESPN contract. It’s been a great ride and I’m going to miss the whole ESPN crew that I’ve worked with for the last six years. I’m excited about my future and the chance to work on new projects and endeavors. Great things are ahead.”
ESPN has released more than 20 ion-air personalities in a cost-cutting measure. The departure of Ward means more air time for Timothy Bradley on ESPN boxing telecasts.
Shame but really it’s a joke how bloated the broadcast teams are for ESPN and Showtime
Boy, ESPN really trimming the fat to save some cash.
Trimming fat and giving the fat plus more fat to Pat Macafee
Showtime has a documentary about Ward called SOG: The Book Of Ward. Maybe they’d be interesting in signing him up.
Could it be that ESPN kept the weakest of the 3 mentioned?
Not really impressed with any of the new boxing announcers. Teddy and Paulie malinaggi were better than these guys now. Obviously the old Tuesday night fight crew was better. Liked Rich Marotta too. RIP to Emmanuel Stewart and Larry Merchant. That Mauro guy sounds like Kermit the frog. What a clown.
Larry Merchant is still alive….
Wow he looked dead 10 years ago. I just assumed. Thanks Gary.
I didn’t like Teddy with all his strange ass metaphors… “water in the basement”, “bugs on the windshield” etc. Loved Marotta though and he still calls fights.
I’ve always found Teddy to be nauseating at best! His metaphors and banter’s were distracting! Ward provided some really insightful analysis
First time i disagree with you, i love Teddy Atlas.
Bring back Rich Marotta, Teddy and Paulie. Andre Ward seemed to be biased.
And idiotic loudmouth Atlas isn’t biased? Atlas is a fake tough guy, his whole rep is built in his association with Tyson and Cus.. he hasnt done as much in the fight game as many people give him credit for.. he had Mike Moorer for a few fights.. wow.. emotional loudmouth with repetitive rants and predictable commentary about needing a national commission etc….
THOUGH A LITTLE BIT OF teddy ATLAS WENT A long ways—coupled with his seeming inability or unwillingness to admit to being wrong, most of the boxers themselves see to hold him high in their esteem.I always enjoyed SEAN O’GRADY’S COMMENARY ON THE OLD
‘Tuesday Night Fights” —- EVEN though he sometimes appeared to suffer from cognitive lapses —likely from the many ring wars he went through.
Grady’s depth was “I never got hit with a punch that didn’t hurt”. Yeah thanks for that banquet circuit level of analysis week after week.
and he, too, at a level of skilled toughness that made him a very difficult opponent to face; and actually went undefeated for much of his career. but his self-effacing demeanor made him an easy target for being underestimated and even ridiculed. He certainly absorbed a generous dose 9f headshots spanning his many years in thesport—that obviously left him damaged cognitively,
Teddy forgot more about boxing than you know. Yes, he can be a gasbag and he takes two paragraphs to say would could be said in two sentences. If I were a young fighter I’d want him as my trainer.
Well stated Jimbo…trainer..and a mentor in regards to overcoming life obstacles
That ‘Fake Tough Guy’ would show you how wrong you are with one shadow punch to your face before stopping short of your clown show. He’s trained many more fighters than any of us will remember. He may say ridiculous things, but give him his proper cred.
Speak for yourself, not everyone on this board is inexperienced in the sport. He’s a second rater that parlayed his association as a bucket guy to Cus and Tyson into a full fledged legend status. Tell us who are these forgotten fighters he has trained? I remember a few and they were club level. World class guys quickly removed themselves from his camps after one or two fights. His fight analysis is frequently wrong and his winner picks are usually incorrect. He’s a second hand guy. “Shadow Punch”, ya I’d just crumble.
Hands…that is absolutely incorrect…I know several champions, former world champions, etc …Ted has trained…I believe Ted was also associated with training an Olympic boxing team.not only that Ted has been around countless world class fighters…Did you know that Teddy actually got into a physical fight with Hector Camacho.and I read and heard that Teddy got the best of the great Hector Camacho..it made a headline in a newspaper…google it…Hands …sources and research develops credibility ….Those in boxing circles know Teddy is truly a master of the art of boxing….Hands
.. your statement shows your ignorance of this gladiator sport….
BS Sean,
I too have “been around” amateur and pro champions in the NYC, CT, and NJ corridor. One of these champions is actually my family member, “Been around” doesn’t mean much. You take that novice idol worship to the TV fans watch 3 big fights a year. Anyone who uses the phrase “master of the art of boxing”….. Teddy and ESPN has hawked his story so long that you believe it. Cus’ gym was so clean back in the day though.
Truth defends itself…anyone can call names and make accusations on the internet…Hands …I don’t know you personally as well as you are no knowledge of me and my background….I do know about sources and credibility….and there are plenty sources out there to confirm my statements..about Teddy.like Atlas or not he is accomplished in the sport of boxing as a trainer..and Ted has trained many… that is not just my opinion….the boxing community is certainly not uneducated and unaware….I take the sport seriously…cause fighters have died in that ring… careful about commenting on another person’s knowledge just cause I don’t agree…immature approach….
oh…almost forgot…Hands…you noted Teddy was just a “bucket guy” to Cus and Tyson..Cus did train Floyd Patterson and Jose Torres along with Mike Tyson…just a “bucket guy” huh…to one of the sport’s great trainers in Cus…and great fighters in Tyson….many dream of having that own their boxing resume..or just the experience..just a bucket guy…funny!!!
Ya just a spit bucket gym cleaner. His on air analysis was often inaccurate. The yelling in the corner doesn’t usually work with alphas, which most fighters are.. someone give us that fighter that he developed?! Futch, Dundee, Steward, Shields, Roach, Sadler etc… all had stables, all had fighters they developed.. who did he develop, improve, guide? Not talking about one or two fight sequences like Bradley and Moorer. I’ll give you a thumbs up Sean, I like anyone who is a genuine boxing fan.
Hands…you may have a point and Teddy …working with alphas..believe that is why Teddy split with Povetkin …good point…greatness knows how to deal with all personalities….Teddy struggles in this area…
Just do you know…the next knock at your door will be Teddy.
Couldn’t agree more with you on Atlas. Overrated trainer that made his name on holding a gun to a 15 yr old Mike Tyson’s head because he didn’t want Mike around his niece or some garbage.
He was such a grandstander and really went out of his way to overshadow anyone he “trained”.
People bring up Moorer, but he was at his best when Emmanuel Steward was training him. After he left Steward, he briefly used Lou Duva before he went with Atlas. Once he split with Kronk, Moorer wnt from being an exciting fast power puncher to a slow, fat, plodding, safety first jabber. He was never the same after the Bert Cooper war.
Interesting though….Atlas was Moorer’s trainer when Moorer won the heavyweight championship…getting off the canvas to beat Evander Holifield…I will never forget when Atlas was training Jr. Jones..be Junior Jones was a former champion..and Jr Jones was fighting Paul Ingle and Ingle was getting the best of Jones…rather beating up Jones..Jones appeared as if he wanted to quit…though Jones lost that fight….Atlas as his trainer…pushed Jones to perform at his best…when it seemed as if Jones was about to quit…watch the fight and look at rounds eight and nine…listen to the commentators on what they said about Atlas….watch the greatness of Atlas…sources and credibility….facts are there in Atlas resume…
Moorer was already a complete fighter by then. Atlas was also his trainer the night he unnecessarily lost the title to the oldest man to win it.
Actually good point Hands…about training alpha fighters…Ray Arcel was a great trainers that was able to guide an alpha personality in Roberto Duran….heard Duran was talented but tough to deal with in his youth…then Ray Arcel stepped in… interesting stuff…
i love that fight (moorer/cooper).
I trained at Gleasons in the 80’s when it was a real deal boxing gym and not the liberal shyteshow it is now. Teddy is far from a fake tough guy. Watching him train Simon Brown when he was IBF Champ (was one of the better memories) and the many phenomenal boxers there including actor W. Dafoe for his movie role.
Mamma mia
They ley the cool one go (Ward) and they keep the squealy obnoxious one (Bradley)?!! I can’t keep this ESPN+ sub going anymore, I’m done….
I’m not reall a Ward fan…but them keeping Bradley ????
Goodbye.
What an absolute JOKE!! Now we have to listen to more of that MORON Tim Bradley!! I can’t stand listening to that clown! Unreal.
Bradley was a boring fighter that somehow got in the hall of fame with like 3 Ko’s lol. He’s an even worse commentator if you can believe it.
I have no ill will towards Bradley, but I agree that he has no business being in the hall of fame. Outside of Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez, and Joel Casamayor – all of whom were well past their best days and he still didn’t beat Pac or JMM in convincing fashion. I thought Provodnikov whipped him, Jesse Vargas nearly knocked him out in the waning seconds of their fight, and Holt put him on the deck if I recall correctly.
His resume is flimsy at best. But they inducted crooks like Jose Suleiman and Gilberto Mendoza along with one hit wonders like Ingemar Johansson (the guy only beat Eddie Machen and Floyd Patterson once) and Ken Norton who always lost the big one, never actually won a title in the ring, and pretty much made his name off of one win over Ali.
I suppose why it’s called the the Hall of “Fame” and not the Hall of Greatness.
That, and they’re running out of anyone remotely relevant to induct at this point.
Personally I feel Ward was the better boxing analyst vs Bradley. Tim tends to get too emotional and rambles sometimes. Ward was calm, cool, and collected. Bad move from ESPN in my opinion. They should have kept Ward.
i always thought tim seemed a bit unrelaxed and tries to do too much sometimes as if he was fighting for his job. apparently it paid off. all the best to ward. he will do fine wherever he ends up.
While Andre Ward was making thoughtful comments during the action of a fight, Bradley, in a very annoying way was “uh-huh, uh-huh” when a good punch landed, that’s when I thought ” how distant this clown is from a guy like Jim Lampley” but the ESPN ignorants let the most decent guy go, SMH!
I didn’t care too much about Ward, for a while I found him biased towards African Americans Fighters.
Wish him nothing, but the best though
I prefer HBO analysts to include Larry Merchant.
I recall two memorable after fights interviews.
1- When he gave Ricardo Mayorga a cigarette to smoke on air
2- When he told Floyd, if I was younger, I would kick your ass.
The most ironic thing about your comment is Ward is half white his dad is white and of Irish decent, I always wondered why he was never called Irish Andre Ward like all of the other Irish ethnic fighters.
I knew he father is white, his mother is black. He has a brother. His mom was in and out due to addiction, his father battled addiction as well. Once Ward commented about how his father changed when he went inside his bedroom presumably to get high.
What his father being white, has to do with him being biased to black fighters??
He was always biased for the black fighters.
And?
Yup, correct.
ESPN/Top Rank are nothing but idiots they cut Kellerman and now Ward and keep punchy rambling Bradley WTF Kellerman has at least boing knowledge and Ward was very neutral at times maybe thats why they cut them they want more company ass kissing bias commentators? right now Al Berstein from showtime is the best knowledgeable unbiased boxing commentator in the business today.
I have always been a Ward fan, and initial reaction is “Why”
But I’m sure Timmy will explain to us.. “You gotta Understand…”
The Toledo, OH broadcast did seem somewhat bloated.
I can’t believe Ward is out, and I have to hear more of “Sesame Street” Bradley…what a shame.
Kept Bradley and dumped Ward?
Thats about on pat for ESPN.
They can’t crumble fast enough.
*par*
You need needles for finger tips on these effeminate phones.
Max has always , always been an idiot.
Timothy Bradley is not great either. Ward was the one with the most knowledge to share.
For me the best boxers of the world are:
Many Pacquiao :
Aggressiveness
High quality oposition
Overwhelming victories
Many divisions dominated
Ricardo lopez “finito López”
Undefeated
24 defenses
And the best boxing technique ever
Andre ward
Undefeated
Super 4 winner
Great technique
There is no number one
All these 3 are the same great
The boxing GOAT…s
My 3 GOATs, in no order
Floyd Mayweather:
Excellent defensive skills
Defeated the best of his era
A marketable figure
Joe Calzaghe
Tech savvy
Fast hands
Sounds fighter
Finito Lopez
Excellent tech skills
Good finisher
Brought attention to the lower weights
If something doesn’t make sense, its about the money, and ESPN admits it. But for me, I liked watching the ESPN fights because of Andre Ward. Great insight.
First and foremost, Ward was a very great fighter, represented himself as a champion, and never brought shame to his sport. He never ducked no one to my knowledge. Now, as a commentator, he could be very biased. ESPN has lost viewership because of its stupid political stances when a it should concentrate on just sports. Probably more to come.
Best commentator fight crew was Jim Lampley, Larry Merchant, and a combination of Roy Jones, George Foreman, Max Kellerman, and Emmanuel Steward on HBO, IMO. I liked the USA Tuesday Night Fights crew as well, Al Albert and Sean O’Grady.
Agreed, Ward was biased towards African-American fighters, for good reason, as he realized, while half Caucasian (he identifies as black as most mixed Africans do) that black fighters often have to play the bad guy to get the big fights, so the higher tax bracket clientele can pay top dollar to hope they lose; and their skills are often overlooked as boring or running, so he emphasized the nuances of the sweet science in his commentary, because he was that type of fighter.
Sounds like you are making excuses for black fighters. Some of those guys are getting top pay to fight stiffs. Example: Stevenson, charlos, most of the pbc fighters. Andre ward never played the bad guy, ever! He purposely went the other route and seems to be a man of God. His commentary is good, but again he shows definite bias.
DMV, I agree. No one beats the HBO broadcast team. I actually liked when Leonard was paired with Lampley and Merchant. They worked together like a well-oiled machine. They were at the top of their game in the first Chavez vs Taylor fight. After Leonard, I preferred Steward, then Kellerman, then Foreman, though I must stress I liked them all very much. Jones could get a little too know-it-all and egotistical, especially when he referred to his own career. I never once heard Ray Leonard refer to his own career unless Lampley brought it up. For that reason, I was glad when HBO let him go.
After HBO, I really liked Alex Wallau and Dan Diederoff on ABC. They worked great together. Tim Ryan and Gil Clancy on CBS was after them and Ferdie Pacheco/Marv Albert on NBC was next, closed out by Sean O’Grady and Al Albert at USA. Actually I had O’Grady/Albert tied with Al Bernstein and Barry Tompkins at ESPN. The 80’s and early to mid-90’s, the good old days of boxing commentary.
Sorry to see Ward go. He always kept it professional and I appreciate his insights and perspective. Surprised they kept Bradley, who is annoying as hell. One upside for Ward, is that he doesn’t have to tolerate Bradley anymore. I’d rather have the sound off than listen to Bradley run his mouth.
I couldn’t have said it better, Bradley sucks! But he a slave in the house so he survived for now!
Finally…and, lost to Kovalev!!
Andre Ward….one of best analysts to date… articulate…former fighter…could explain the art of boxing and the dynamics surrounding boxing to the fans watching ….able to accurately call the action in the ring…ESPN dropped the ball on this one….this was unexpected…..Ward will not have a problem finding another commentating opportunity…..will not be baited into a race preferential discussion….ignoring it….
Damn, Ward was one of the best of the ex fighters to commentate. Crap decision
Ward was a better commentator than a fighter. His fights sucked! Name one memorable KO? You can’t cuz he didn’t fight anyone and then retired like a chump.
Oh Ward…just Knocked out the “baddest mfer in boxing at that time”..the guy that was supposed to be pound for pound the greatest fighter at that time..Ward only…just only beat the guy that was destroying everyone in the ring….will not even tell you his name do your research…anyone that knows anything about boxing know that Ward is…was…a beast inside that square ring…that credibility thing again… Akhenaten do your research….
Ward did not always KO fighters but he broke them down, took away their skills, and beat them up. I was able to share the modern era great via Ward fights by taking my father and brothers. He was able to dominate the best at 168 and then some at 175 not as long as Calzaghe but he got the bigger fights available sooner despite the end of his career which really stalled.
sometimes people thought Dre was “boring” because they did not watch boxing much except highlights of heavyweights KO’s. And they had/have limited perspective.
If you watch Ward’s documentary (quicker than watching his fights if you have a short attention span) then you will get more pieces of the puzzle regarding his retirement.
I first attended his fight vs Edison Miranda with my brothers. People avoided him because he was a puncher. Ward shined.
The “experts” did not expect Ward to take down Kessler. I took my father to that fight and it was a wonderful experience. Ward’s catlike quickness and destruction of top notch Kessler was a special thing.
I attended the fight vs Green. (I had watched Green when he was chief support prior at the Froch vs Taylor title fight in CT so I saw how he could be dangerous) Ward BEAT DOWN Green to the body. It was masterclass. He focused on that area that 90-95% of high level boxers avoid and hurt Green bad. I don’t care about the KO or not. I would rather see a guy get beat down slowly but still survive the final bell sometimes.
I saw Ward from 4th row outclass Carl Froch with 1 good hand. He severely hurt one hand but had to hide that fact prior to the fight.
Ward could not “suck” if he won such a high percentage of rds. Because he did not “RUN” from people, he just showed that aspect within judges criteria called “RING GENERALSHIP”. Look it up.
My father came again to see Ward KO Chad Dawson. A lot of people know Chad had some great years. He was also a real champion. Ward made something tough look easy. Ask Bernard Hopkins about Chad Dawson..
A lot of UK fans and Paul Smiths boxing fam sat behind me very quiet as Ward made that comeback fight look very easy
Young contenders coming up were turned back when they challenged Ward like Sullivan Barrera
There was also this fabled fighter from Russia called Sergey “Krusher” Kovalev. Maybe you can look him up. He was good. Other people believe that too. Ward barely beat him the first time (watch the doc) and took him down in his final fight.
Did you say something about Andre not fighting anybody?
I usually avoid reading the comments or replying to others, but your wack, false generalizations were laughable.
Usually the top guys at the game for a decade or longer don’t suck or get away without fighting anybody. Ward is not a (for example) Adrien Broner hype job.
He’s not a Ryan Garcia.
There are guys with thin resumes and lots of wins.
There are guys who “fight everybody” but end up with many losses.
Andre was neither.
Miguel…thanks for the info…sharing your knowledge with the boxing community….grade A post….along with the memories… especially with your father.,I hope you still have some of the boxing collectables from those aforementioned fights…..great stuff!!!!
I forgot to throw in this other Super Six foe named Arthur Abraham. Had about 10 160lb title defenses I think. Knocked a lot of dudes out including Taylor. Ward took care of him also.
And Sakio Bika-another guy who fought the best and made rough nights for many. He ended up with a belt eventually. Ward took care of Bika. Lots of guys that you or others could skip over to say someone “never beat anyone”. Well 6 current, former, or future champions disagree.
Ward was really good. But they didn’t renew his contract. Bradley is decent, most of the commentary nowadays stinks. DAZn is awful. Mauro is lame. Bernstein is average, a vet but nothing special. HBO was the best by far. I liked Paulie and Tarver. I don’t agree with many of Paulie’s dumb comments, but I don’t think he should be fired. Too much political correctness by suits who don’t give shit about anything other than money and damage control.
too many commentators on ESPN and Showtime. Constant talking and talking over each other. It’s absurd.It’s like they are paid by the word. Bernstein used to be good and may still one but he’s in competition with all the others. The Mauro guy is a joke on Showtime. a phony TV voice. I’d fire him.
Watch fights from the golden age when boxing was an important sport. Don Dunphy, Jack Drees, Ted Husing, Russ Hodges. Watch the Robinson LaMotta fight on YouTube and listen to Ted Husing call the fight. It’s a work of art. No hyperbole, no screaming , and the guy knew boxing.
Thanks..Jimbo for that knowledge…going to check that Robinson LaMatto fight out..they were amazing to watch..but this time…will pay attention to the commentators…good stuff!!!
Mauro is obnoxious, with all of his dumb gimmicky sayings, along with that horrible voice of his. He’s better suited for wrestling but even then he’s dreadfully terrible.
Dunphy was excellent. Even the actor Jack Palance called some fights occasionally in the 70’s as a color commentator and he was very good.
Hated the entire Albert family (Marv on NBC, Al on USA, and Steve on Showtime; they were all atrocious).
Lampley on HBO was such a fawning pretentious douche. I loved Larry Merchant because he was grouchy and until the early 2000’s he could always build things up in a way that made even the worst fight intriguing.
Barry Tompkins was always solid in my opinion. Al Bernstein is hit or miss.
I can’t stand most fighters doing any commentary. Ironically the few I could tolerate on the mic were usually journeyman types like BJ Flores and Raul Marquez.
Guys like Roy Jones Jr., Sugar Ray Leonard, and George Foreman could say something that made sense then contradict themselves five seconds later.
Bobby Czyz was a complete turd.
Sorry for the epic length post.
Foreman gave excellent…fighter knowledge and instructions..during fights…could learn a lot about boxing from listening to Foreman during fights….Heard Lennox Lewis state that he learned a lot about boxing from George Foreman commentating…
You must be joking, Foreman was the worst and Lennox even have him beat!
I’ll miss Tessitore calling him “Dre” with love in his eyes.
I smell a comeback.
It’s going to crumble mark my words..
ESPN finally does something right by canning Max Kellerman, yet they decided to keep that windbag zilch Mark Kriegel who adds absolutely nothing.
Won’t miss Ward. Bradley is likeable, but totally dumb.
I just want to see five fights any way and after 4 decades I’m done with boxing.
Thank God! Andre Ward was more boring a commentator than he was a boxer, albeit, a great one.
Ward is articulate and is on point with his observations. His commentaries were to the point and he seemed well organized and competent. I used to like Teddy Atlas when he was calling fights, but nowadays, he takes forever to get to the point. I often lose interest before he finishes his thought.
Bradley seems to lack the knowledge that Ward has and I’m really surprised that they let Ward go and kept Bradley. Bradley has the tendency to go on and on and doesn’t provide a lot of insight in the fights ESPN covers. These organizations seem to have a big staff for fight commentary, but I believe they made a huge mistake in letting Ward go.
Both Bradley and Ward have good insight on boxing…it is just the delivery of the analysis…Ward is unique in that Ward can articulate his knowledge of boxing and boxers..and the action in the ring…Ward was one of the best at it….one of the best at it from …period…this was a shocking move…by ESPN
This article is about Ward however most of this discussion is focused on Teddy Atlas. That alone speaks of his fingerprints on the boxing world. Give me Lampey, Roy, and Merchant & Emanuel and I’m set Ward overrated and very biased IMO.
Bradley the MF’er that should be gone!
i don’t know if this means tim will be a bit more relaxed and measured with ward out, or if the rambling will increase with more space.
Elle Seckback or Showtime the Adult..
Jim Lampley still the greatest boxing commentator ever imo..
They should hire James Toney and Katie Taylor to do their fights
Wouldn’t be able to understand a darn thing the whole fight haha
Way over due for max
Bradley makes everything about himself, always talking about he could have beaten this and that fighter, not a great move.
That is exactly why Bradley is there…oparedes….to give us …the viewing audience a perspective from a former fighter ..now it is up to ESPN to provide excellent commentators to fill us in on the real time action in the ring…That is what made the Jim Lapley..HBO team…very good,…always an excellent live action commentator .,paired with someone with some form of boxing experience on a high level… slightly off the subject but an example….John Madden…was the greatest.announcer IMO..could give excellent real time action..then immediately diagram the play in its simplest form… from a coach who won at the highest level …where the average/casual fan could understand…and Madden was highly entertaining …Bradley job is to give a fighters perspective….the others should deliver the real time action…
The last time I saw something like this WWE and UFC merged. I wonder if ESPN is undergoing a merger. I love Tim Bradley’s analysis of fights and fighters but I wish he’d keep it professional and leave his personal feelings for fighters out it. My favorite former fighter/ announcer was Big George Foreman. I wish he would announce the big fig fights.
— If Boxing had a mute button for all the announcers and just allow us to watch the fight with ring sounds and crowd noise, guaranteed boxing status as a crumbling sport would be resurrected at least in part.
All of the networks that carry boxing should enable the SAP button on the remote so purists can shut off the biased commentary and just enjoy the damned fight.
Tired of listening to color commentators. Who needs ‘em? They’re a vestigial organ from the days when fights were broadcast over the radio. TELEVISION IS A VISUAL MEDIUM, don’t need some dude with an axe to grind telling me what’s happening, I GOT TWO EYES.
Honestly, too often color commentary is just a way to rationalize highway robbery.
They just fired the 2 best analysts. Must be taking a hint from the DC playbook and ruining a good product. Fat cat bean counters shouldn’t be in charge of such decisions. They’ll just lose fans. Dummies.
Between the two ESPN should have kept Ward instead of the often directionless and not cogent Bradley.
Good riddance! about time. Now if DAZN can just get rid or Sergio Mora…….
I’m still pissed Showtime fired Paulie Malinaggi for Political Correctness!
More air time for marble mouth, know it all Tim Bradly, we’ll watch with the sound off!
