Lange Banned From HBO Sports
18 June 2009 6:35 PM, PDT

Outrageous comedian Artie Lange has been banned from live sports programming at U.S. cable network HBO following an offensive, expletive-laden rant on a new show.

The Howard Stern Show radio regular upset HBO bosses with an appearance on sportscaster Joe Buck's new show Joe Buck Live on Monday night by making homophobic remarks and swearing through a rant about his dislike of American football team the Dallas Cowboys.

At one point, he took aim at Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, who is dating pop star Jessica Simpson, stating, "It's like a white-trash gift from God that the f**king Cowboys have a quarterback whose last name rhymes with homo."

On banning Lange, HBO Sports president Ross Greenburg told the New York Post, "We don't have any interest in his world."

In typical fashion, the controversial comic told Greenburg to "Go f**k yourself, I don't care how important you are in the business."

What was Arte Lange doing commenting on Sport's Show anyway! I think ESPN is to blame for having him on in the first place! They should have far better discretion on who they book on their shows.

Good! Now if they could just ban him from talking anywhere, about anything...

Exactly, Ban the blabbering bigmouth buffoon from tv entirely. The idiot is not, never has been and never will be funny. While we're at it, Get rid of Joe Buck also. How one of the worst sportscasters ever got his own show is way beyond me.

Artie Lange was funny when he was on MadTV but it sort of seems like he justs wants attention.
