I'm not sure how many listen to LeBatard, I've been tuning in on my drives home for about 6 years now. Apparently he got a 2 day suspension for putting up billboards, using his own money, in Akron. LeBatard refuses to do any endorsements, and I think it will be interesting to see how he handles this. The billboards read...

I remember LeBatard's comments about Detroit during the brief rivalry between the Pistons and Heat about a decade ago. LeBatard can go F himself.

LBJ has been dead for quite a while now. Not sure what ESPN is scared of.

I guess you have to listen to him for a while to understand him. He doesn't care, its why he won't do sponsorships, he wants to speak his mind and not get bogged down by offending a sponsor. One of the best segments is with Ron McGill from Zoo Miami. His interviews can be downright hilarious. I'm upset that they more or less had to stop Roy's top ten and Douche or No Douche.

Dan LeBatard has the currently funniest show on ESPN radio. The way he antagonizes everyone is great. Now my second favorite to SVP.

The combined creativity of those two people approaches dead porcupine on the side of the road.

Tell me how you really feel. Who's your favorite sports personality so that I may dismiss it offhand?

I don't really have a favorite. Just ones that are more tolerable than others.

LeBatard response to his suspension

I don't understand why people don't like this guy. Reading the whole thing, its pretty funny how overblown it became.

The Cleveland newspapers said that they would never, ever take my filthy, dirty, evil, money for this! Never! NEVER! They released this sanctimony to the press, wrote stories about it and gave quotes about doing the right thing. Even though I wasn't, um, offering money. They were angrily declining money I never offered for a cause I don't believe in and an idea that wasn't even mine.

Wow, that article is great and really makes all the people that felt strongly about it anyway look really foolish.

Why does ESPN care about Lyndon Baines Johnson?
