Agree, Warner is great, Sid is a piece of work. Interesting, age discrimination when both individuals (Warner- 78) and (Sid -48) are both considered members of a protected class. Both are over 40

Interesting to see Warner forcing this issue after being an active participant in the shenanigans that are a part of the IMUS playbook.

I remember WW on WTOP, flipping over his predictions on the Saturday, or was it Friday, night’s broadcast.

I used to listen to him. The Ranch scam did it for me though.

Bullsh!t was that slander of any sort.

I suggest the team, and Rutgers alumni, and every other snowflake embrace a new concept called “consequences” .

Just a few months before the student body was in the news for taking up the chant “Fuck Navy” at a ballgame with Annapolis. At no time did the Women's Basketball Team apologize.

They already conceded the “Ho.” Part. That's what suggesting sex be implemented upon visitors entails.

Now that hour slander drivel has been debunked, what do you have against Imus? Other than sounding like he still drinks everytime you hear him talk?

I remember when Warner Wolf was cut loose.

If I remember correctly it had nothing to do with his age, but his work arrangement. They were broadcasting the show from multiple locations, and he was in a separate studio where they had a number of coordination problems with the other members of the show's crew.

It was Rutgers, not UConn. And he did lose his job at WFAN in New York and on MSNBC. He later got picked up by WABC and Fox Business, and from what I understand he won a handsome settlement with WFAN over his termination.

His legal action was based on very specific language in his contract that called for him to be abrasive and offensive on the air. Seriously. LOL.

That might be a defense.

Over 40, Wolf? So is your replacement.

Case dismissed.

I think Rutgers and Duke were playing for the women’s title that year ... or maybe they were facing each other in the semifinals to see who would play UConn?

And as a fairly regular listener, Wolf laughed at all the age references. My God, Bernie made a career of mocking Imus’s advanced years.

I remember watching UConn that year. I enjoy a good Basketball game, although I had no dog in that fight. Women’s basketball is more enjoyable to watch, and they actually dribble the ball....................

Their has got to be an old Larson comic strip that has two fossils in it going at it, that is this in a nutshell. It is a miracle they aren’t both off to the glue factory.

Warner’s a funny guy, though I agree with a previous post, Mike Breen was the best sportscaster for Imus’ foolishness...before the bad ol’ nappy days.

It was the Rutgers Women’s basketball team about whom the “Nappy Headed Hos” remark was made.

And a lot of people at the time who don’t like Imus defended him on the basis of the behavior of the Rutgers student body towards the navy team. Certainly I am not a fan of any shock jocks.

I will ask you, what does UCONN have to do with the “Nappy Headed Hos” incident?
