Cellini use to do the Nba broadcasts on TBS back in the day. I can't believe anyone would do this?

The only "good" I can see coming out of all this is more awareness for ALS. Hopefully more money is raised for research.

Steve Gleason is my hero. My father-in-law passed away from ALS. He was my wife's hero.

It was just noted on NOLA.com that the host has been suspended.

I'm going to reserve judgement until I hear this morning's playback from @790TheZone. But right now I'm enraged.

Stewart Cathey, Jr. ‏@stewartcatheyjr 49s
@rflem24 @andym1134 @790TheZone 3 minute joke where they pretended that Steve Gleason called in and they asked him questions.

karma is a beotch

Sometimes a little quality control is in order. If you think it's a funny idea.bounce it off a few people's heads to make sure it won't torpedo your career. In the creative process I'm sure this was a laugh riot.but now no one is laughing.

If KPEL replays this audio I will be so ashamed.

I think Scott plans on playing it.

For what it is worth, a caller to 990 AM (Cajun station in NOLA) said his sister is an ALS patient who has been reduced to a computer voice. According to the caller his sister is fine with the "joke", and has no problems with it. She feels it brings ALS patients into the "real" world.

Cannot verify these comments but the guy seemed candid.
