As a Pittsburgher and STEELERS fan, I find this abhorrent. May the Steelers kick some royal Titan rear end!!!!

The following statement was made by Woody & Jim Friday morning at 7am:

When we got together at 107.5 The River and decided to give away Titans/Steelers tickets with our Hospital Gurney contest, we had no idea it would become the firestorm of debate that it has.

We in no way wanted to make light of the injuries Tommy Maddox incurred here November 17th. We were simply looking for an unusual way to give away tickets. Many, many people in the Pittsburgh area thought that we hoped for an injury. That is not true. In fact, we were relieved that he recovered so quickly… and said so on numerous occasions on our show.

At 107.5 The River, we don’t want this contest to reflect poorly on the people of Nashville or the Tennessee Titans. All of whom were very supportive of Tommy Maddox.

We’re sorry.

That is why 107.5 The River will not do this contest. One person qualified for the tickets before we stopped it late yesterday. She will get those tickets.

In addition, the staff at 107.5 The River has purchased another set of Titans/Steelers tickets. We will auction these tickets on the air this morning. The money raised from the auction will benefit a charity named by Tommy Maddox and the Pittsburgh Steelers organization.

Thank you. Go Titans.

And go away Woody & Jim! We "were simply looking for an unusual way" to give away tickets?

May both teams play with sportsmanship and honor and not be stupid enough to inflict unneccessary injury upon each other. May both teams choose not to reflect the mentallity of some of their fans!
