Rob Carr/Getty ImagesHis name is Michael Telek and he no longer is an employee at KDKA TV. He was tryin' to have some fun with Pittsburgh fans and typed "Known Cheater" under Brady's name in a graphic. Telek's bosses, however, didn't think the joke was very funny. And less than 24 hours later, he was out of a job. According to Telek, who told USA Today: "I feel like they're acting like I put 'Tom Brady, child molester' or 'Tom Brady, murderer' or something like that...I could understand being fired for that. But for this? I was like ... when it's something soft and light, we can be soft and light with it."
We will be talking with Michael Telek this morning on The Getup Crew so tune in!
