Surprised "DK" hasn't become a filter for something yet, lol.

I was actually thinking I might make it pissbaby lol, he's gone out of his way to cause trouble with things though, so it isn't worth it.

I remember they were definitely members on LGP.com, but I can't remember if they joined here.

They were at one point back at the start. DK used to get real pissy about people copying and pasting from his site - and that was on both boards/reddit.

Madden, would visit occasionally and make fun of us for some random post here and there, but that hasn't happened in a long-long time.

Was the "carp in the spillway" rant here or at LGP?

I mean, yeah, the reporting was sensationalistic and I wouldn't and haven't hesitated to take my kids downtown, but it's not like shootings and other violent acts don't happen sometimes.

It would have been sufficient to call them out on it and move on. Dude loves to be the story.

I’m just waiting for next week when something does happen downtown and he totally changes his opinion and starts berating the people in his replies for thinking the city is safe. :roll:

Also, I’m totally fine with him leaving WPXI. I don’t usually watch the Sunday night show, but I ended up never watching because it started becoming the DK show as every panelist was someone from his site. I can’t see Madden returning at this point either, and I wouldn’t really blame him with how WPXI caved to DK and got rid of him.

More virtue signaling from the PGH sports media master virtue signaler. I'm surprised he doesn't say "Our city, not theirs!" or something ridiculous.

Again, if he doesn't have a shop downtown he doesn't do all this crap. Plus what makes him the authority of if shootings happen downtown especially if he isn't there at the time?

I hope WPXI calls his bluff. They are sensationalist garbage station but I doubt they care.

Oh no even less places to see him being a pissbaby.

Dude has to alienate someone every quarter it feels like to let people know how important he is.

This week was even weirder than usual because there were only two panelists, DK and Benz, who I never remember interacting with each other before it.

One of the most underrated features of 5af is when all these people who rarely post come out of the woodwork to chime in on sports media drama
