Dexter Manley Interview on XL102 FM.

[Daseal]

If Manley can't handle questions about how you get through college without reading, simple facts about his life, or about what an upset is -- don't go on a radio program. Simple as that, Elliot asked a lot of questions I was curious about (IE, how did you get through college without being able to read).

He's been through a lot sure, but lots of people have. You don't find it strange that an NFL football player doesnt know what an upset is? Crack and illiteracy are two things Dexter talks about the most now days -- mainly how it made him find Jesus, but still staples on what he talks about.

Elliot typically does pick at his guests a bit, but as someone sick of hearing interviews where people get softball question and you never hear anything you're interested in, it's refreshing. I keep hearing poor Dexter, but if you can't handle interviews -- stay off the radio.

Elliot could have asked the questions he wanted without insulting the man. I don't think the questions bothered me as much as his approach.

It's one thing to ask legitimate questions and play around with him a bit, but its a totally different thing to exploit someones handicap. The guy had brain surgery, and wasn't the brightest person in the world to begin with. Then when Elliot started yelling at him...I don't know... Just seemed to me a bit like he crossed the line on this one.
