Those of you among us who remember that Don Imus used to be a thing, why was he so influential and how did he slip completely from memory?

    I remember when he was on the radio in the early 2000’s but did find him to be funny, interesting, or intelligent. I think if he was there would be content or quotes floating around 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Well, he died in 2019.

    He was entertaining for the times in which he was popular. Then in 2007 he made a major blunder after describing the Rutgers women’s college basketball team as “nappy headed hos.” He didn’t retire until 2018, but his career was never the same again.
