I don't believe that one can tie this in a nice pretty bow.

Just like most things, there is not a single reason for Madden's trolling. It's true that Madden has been perpetually doubling down on his dumb Juju takes because of the backlash. But at one time he intrinsically concocted the notion that Juju is bad because he tweets and expressed it. Now, I suppose the questions is whether he genuinely believed it, but he still generated the thought and then weaponized the thought to antagonize people.

Granted, this should never have gotten to this point, whether it's the dunces that call in to argue about Juju, or the folks on twitter that reply to him. But now a longstanding radio gag manifests in a way where Madden is celebrating Juju's failure solely for the value of wanting him to fail.

I don't blame Madden, he's an arrogant fat ass Jaba the Hut that smells his own farts all day, I look down on his brainless listeners.

Another Madden tweet. Sigh.

And why more people shouldn’t, but they still will.

His tweets show up on my timeline all the time, but it’s whatever. He’s entitled to do his thing, it’s served him well over the years.

Also, you seem to take a lot of shots at me. You could just block me, but you’re entitled to do what you want, just saying.

Madden does a shtick on radio and Twitter. Why do few people get that? Basically he is a heel wrestling announcer (and he was one for WCW) . He has made a living and lots of money doing it, so why stop? People eat it up and get real triggered. I don’t know why. He isn’t like that in real life.

Someday Madden will be retired and we will be stuck with the likes of Poni and Benz. Keep on trucking, MM.

Early Saturday morning and Madden and Pittsburgh Dad Jr. are still going at it on Twitter about JuJu: https://twitter.com/colin_Pittsburgh Dad Jr./status ... 7188948992

Pittsburgh Dad Jr. seems like a fan boy. Which is a bad look for a media member.

Madden is just Madden.

I could take Pittsburgh Dad Jr.'s position a little more seriously if it weren't for his laughable defense of Antonio Brown

The whole assertion he had this morning about people bullying JuJu was enough for me to just see Dunlaps attempt at being a fanboy.

Madden has some very powerful friends/supporters. He literally doesn’t give a **** what anyone says about him going after Juju.

Oh wait, he searches his name on Twitter...

Also, Steigerwald chiming in with some comment about the “attempted feminization of the American male” is priceless.

It’s actually good entertainment seeing tweets from these clowns.

Also not knowing a subscriber count and going to app users sounds like really bad business.

Yeah that’s pretty shady. Wonder if he tells the college writers to take a hike?

He also keeps promising some big announcement. It wouldn’t surprise me if it was some business partnership or merger or something. Although his Saturday column acknowledged that he is known for overpromising and underdelivering and even his wife gets on him about that (insert sex life joke here) so who knows what it is.

People in the comments were getting on him because an issue with the app was promised to be fixed by Christmas but nothing happened.

A day like today is what sports tak is made for. Taking angry calls from fans and debates..a lot
To talk about. Da Fan has a big chunk of their day devoted to stupid Sun Bowl coverage and will lose audiences to Stan, Madden, and Crowley. I bet more people would tune into their regular shows than listen to Pitt. I know they have a contract and all but still.

But they did have Cook and Joe Show on from 9-11 this morning. They took a whopping total of three-four calls. Who stays on hold with Da Fan knowing it might be hours until you get on the air??

I turned into Tunch and Wolf at 11AM and they took way more calls, probably four or five in the first 30 minutes. Da Fan sucks.

I had it on for a bit and heard Joe make a forced reference about University of Buffalo then a clip of, what I assume is Mullzy, doing that Buffalo song. So they still think thats funny.
