Mike Munchak Out in Denver?

[slashsteel]

Hahahahahaha……Madden hasn’t stepped inside a Steeler locker room for player interviews or press conferences in 20+ years. He uses periphery interviews to pontificate.

Pens coverage however, he used to be much more involved (Pre-COVID)

He never seems to be as hard on the Pens. Atleast when I listened in. Which was when I was going to school 6 years ago. But i don't think he is a creature of change looking at some of the pieces he writes.

I don’t quantify Madden as a journalist, or even a commentator. He just promotes shock discussion.….period.

On one of those NFL Films specials he stated the Terrible Towel was a proverbial bar dish rag. He just wants listeners anyway possible.

I know that Mike is a class guy, so he would never say it, but he left in the middle of that AB breakdown and a ton of drama in the locker room. At least Jesse James suggested that the drama was intense, maybe others. Munchak is also an old school, no nonsense type. Think he may be turned off to returning to a team coached by Tomlin?

I think he’s a Pens and Steelers fans. Otherwise who cares what the media’s opinions are. Just don’t listen to Madden or give him views or clicks on his links etc.


The guy makes money each time someone views his stuff. If you don’t like him. Just ignore him

The shock value works when people call in irate.
It’s like Howard Stern. Paid trolls. But I applaud them. Seeing people call in pissy gets entertaining. Paul Finebaum gets a lot of those callers too.


Irate caller: “They should’ve won that game! Damn refs”

Said paid troll shock value Dj: “mmm hmmm. Ok. Cool”

I haven't listened to the guy since school. (6 years ago. - almost 7) Never really had an irritated stance on him as I knew he was a shock jock. But you can tell Steelers aren't his numero uno.

I know he used to hate Hines. I don’t really follow Madden too much. I find him boring. But I know he tends to draw the ire of a lot of people. But good for him. Keeps him in biz

Yeah, his dislike for him was because Hines turned him down in having a call in with him. Something to do with Madden saying Hines would be the 4th/5th receiver on the Rams greatest show on turf. Typical crap that he would do to get a response from callers. It backfired in his face.
