Steve Gleason audio

The folks at "Mayhem in the AM" on 790 the Zone in Atlanta had one of the most tasteless sports bits ever heard today, about Steve Gleason.

Today, he guest wrote Peter King's Monday Morning Quarterback article. Steak Shapiro, Chris Dimino, and Nick Celini did a bit during their show at WQXI-AM in Atlanta, which was tasteless to say the least.

790's GM:  "We deeply regret the offensive programming that aired this morning on “Mayhem In The AM” on 790 The Zone, related to former New Orleans Saints player Steve Gleason and his battle with ALS. We suspended the three individuals involved immediately following their comments and have since terminated their employment. 790 The Zone, our owners, sponsors and partners in no way endorse or support this kind of content. We sincerely apologize to Mr. Gleason, his family and all those touched by ALS."

The audio is from Chria225:
