Very true. do you know who Chad Dukes is? I am just asking becasue you are from the NY area. the guy has been on DC radio for awhile and AZ radio.
What makes his statement even more stupid is the guy is comedy DJ, it is the same as Howard Stern commenting on the Redskins, just plain stupid.
I am just saying consider the source before agreeing with Chad.
Bio:
Early life
Dukes is a native of
Burke, Virginia, and a graduate of
Lake Braddock Secondary School. He did not complete his studies at
George Mason University and began his
radio broadcasting career working in
college radio for WGMU.
[edit] Career
Dukes began his broadcasting career at 98.7 WMZQ working in the promotions department. He then transitioned to
WHFS (99.1) in Washington, D.C., where he was an
intern for
The Sports Junkies.
[2] There he met fellow intern Oscar "The Big O" Santana. Together they created the
Big O and Dukes Show which debuted in the evening (6 - 10 p.m.) timeslot. The show's initial run ended January 12, 2005, when
CBS Radio flipped WHFS's
format to
spanish language, and rebranded the station as
WLZL "El Zol".
[1][3]
Dukes moved to
WJFK/WHFS (105.7) in
Baltimore, Maryland in 2005, where the
Big O and Dukes Show replaced
Out to Lunch Show in the midday (11:00 AM – 3:00 PM) timeslot. The show received much attention in Baltimore when it hired former
police commissioner Ed Norris as its "third man".
[4] CBS Radio abruptly cancelled the
Big O and Dukes Show shortly after Norris arrived (replacing it with the
Ed Norris Show).
[5] Dukes moved to
ESPN Radio 1300 AM where he co-hosted an
afternoon drive sports/talk show.
In June 2006, Dukes and Santana moved to
Phoenix, Arizona to replace
KZON's
The Phil Hendrie Show upon the retirement of
Phil Hendrie. The
Big O and Dukes Show's run in Arizona ended on June 21, 2007 when KZON flipped its format to
hip hop, becoming
101.5 JAMZ.
[6]
After a short
hiatus, Dukes returned to the Washington, D.C. airwaves. On July 16, 2007
The Big O and Dukes Show debuted on
WJFK-FM in the evening timeslot (7:00 - 11:00 p.m.), following the station's flagship
Don and Mike Show. In 2008 the show was moved to mid-days beginning at 10 a.m. following
The Junkies and ending at 3 p.m. preceding the
Mike O'Meara Show.
On July 20, 2009
WJFK-FM switched formats from simply Talk Radio to Sports Talk Radio and became
106.7 The Fan DC. Dukes now broadcasts with former
Washington Redskins linebacker
LaVar Arrington on the sports talk show "The LaVar Arrington Show with Chad Dukes" from 2-7 p.m.
[7]
On July 16, 2010, Dukes and Santana reunited for a weekly podcast styled on their terrestrial radio show. It is available at
http://www.bigoanddukes.com
[edit] Comedic style
Dukes frequently discusses his
health problems,
weight, and negative
body image(Large Head). He also frequently discusses the frustrations in his
love life. The basis of much of Dukes' on-air
humor is based on
self-loathing. Dukes is particularly skilled at a "
ranting" style of comedy, able to discuss a wide range of topics passionately and articulately.
More recently, Dukes, along with other personalities from
WJFK, has created a fake wrestling group called the Main Street Mafia. He is an outspoken supporter of the
Second Amendment to the United States Constitution, he ate Oscar and loves
Billy Ocean.
[edit] Side projects
Dukes was also co-host of the short-lived
Snack and Soda Show. The program ran Sundays on WJFK from 2007–08, with Dukes and producer Matt Cahill broadcasting under the
pseudonyms "Snack" and "Soda," respectively. Together they critiqued various
snack foods and reported on snack food industry news and
rumors. The show's final installment aired April 20, 2008.
[8]
He formerly hosted a fully interactive videogame talkshow, "
Red Ring of Death Radio," with Cahill on WJFK 106.7, Wednesdays at 8 p.m.
[8] He has also branched into film work with the "Main Street Mafia," a pro-wrestling troupe that is currently engaged in a hostile takeover of the WJFK hallways, openly attacking employees that disrespect them. The group consists of Kurt Schembeckler, Nash Dukes, and Booker T-Shirt. The Main Street Mafia has completed their first short film, depicting their fight against a rival wrestling group made up entirely of zombies, known as the
Undead World Order.
[9] A few months later they made another movie known as MVP, Mafia versus Predator.
He and LaVar Arrington host "Sportsweek with LaVar Arrington and Chad Dukes" which airs on TV.
What he said on the show in a nutshell:
* "The Washington Redskins owe us. The Washington Redskins owe me, and they owe everybody else that has ever taken crap from Cowboys fans, that has ever not jumped on the Patriots' or the Steelers' bandwagon, that has remained loyal in this melting pot, you owe us money.
We are not whores, and you are not our pimps....You owe us money, and you owe us an apology, because you went out there, and you half-assed it."
* "On national television, with your season on the line, against a divisional opponent, how
DARE you conduct yourself that way."
* "You're a joke, from the top down. Every single person on that team deserves to lose their job today. Every. Single. Person. How dare you not turn in your keys, how dare you not go out to Ashburn and say here's my key card."
* "GO SCREW....Boo them off the field, and then leave and go home and go on with your life....It's not just one game. It's 28 points in the first quarter against the Eagles with your season on the line....How dare you. You're an embarrassment. You embarrassed the nation's capital, the most powerful city in the world, you spit in our face last night. You spit. Having Albert Haynesworth do the worm on the field, and they've got it on video?....You capitalize, every single year, off the sweat and the blood of the people that built this franchise, you capitalize off it. You bilk us out of our money, I'm paying $500 for John Riggins jerseys for my old man for Christmas because of what happened before you came here Dan Snyder, before you came here. Tired's not the word; wounded's the word.....You kill me.
YOU MAKE ME SICK."
