I still dont think it's that big of a deal. The Torg is a fat slob and at times he can be annoying, but I dont think he should have been fired for that.

Yeah, Herby has his hands all over this with out a doubt. I hope he's happy that he got someone fired.

Well, I feel for him. And just because he signed the contract takes nothing away from the non-compete clause being shitty.

Getting lawyers involved will essentially slam the door on the 1% chance he had to get back on the network. About the only thing he can hope for is them to waive his non-compete clause, and perhaps get some severance.

I haven't been following this, but is this all because he jokingly said something about a Michigan player dying?

Lol they fucking FIRED him for that? That's incredibly harsh. I think a boycott is in order if you're a columbusian.

It was the second highest rated sports talk show in the nation. Herbie is behind him being fired.

I will not listen to 97.1 anymore. Tonight instead of listening to the game on my drive home I listened to music and turned the game on once I was home. There are other options out there.

The worst part of this is all the things he offered to do and they still fired him. He was on a show on Cleveland today talking about it. It's just terrible.

i dont get how people think herbie got him fired...he doesnt run 97.1. obviously herbstreet is going to stick up for howard who he works with on a weekly basis, but i doubt he has the power to have someone fired. i could be wrong tho

You are. Herbie has a lot of pull in Columbus, I'd imagine.

He's also a giant cocksucker
