Media Whore, Sports Division


"The only person that I respect over there is Howard Eskin."
"Oh, nobody nobody, Howard Eskin is our guy. Bye."

                                             - Freddie Mitchell

While 99.9% of listeners viewed these desperate "slams" as incredibly pathetic and akin to a little child lashing out with an "I hate you!" in a last desperate attempt to "hurt" someone to win an argument, Howard Eskin apparently saw this as a ringing endorsement. So predictably, and since Mitchell saved Howard Eskin from having to re-up his supply of Levitra for another couple days, Eskin returned the favor and endorsed Freddie Mitchell. He liked that "Freddie stepped up" and took the heat off the team. (He's as delusional as Mitchell). He agreed with the "groupie" comments from earlier in the week and said they were accurate and termed the call to Steve Fredericks as a win for Mitchell. Then, not really being able to show that Eagles fans are groupies, Eskin set up the straw man - the 1% minority that cross the line that no one defends - and knocked him down to his own self-satisfaction and aggrandizement.

He then proceeded to tell the rude and obnoxious Philadelphia fans how to act before returning to being rude and obnoxious for the remainder of his show.
