I suppose the origins of the shock jock era has brought us to so much overkill from the talking heads today. Not sure I even hear the term shock jock anymore. Not that they've gone somewhere, it's that this type of broadcasting has become the norm. It's growing in the sense that most networks aren't fearful of being the least bit politically correct even about the most influential sports personalities we have. I've heard Kanell and others speak about the front office encouraging controversy with their viewpoints numerous times. If you're an argumentative person by nature and many are, and you're getting paid handsomely to dig and grope on any perception and prejudice you've managed to cultivate in your shortsided life and you really enjoy living your life at other people's expense, you got to feel just like that kid in the candy store.
