LANGE BANNED FROM HBO SPORTS
Outrageous comedian ARTE 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 (15Jun09) 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."
In 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."
