Angelo Cataldi

Career

Notable incidents

• Cataldi's show frequently receives calls from former Philadelphia Mayor and former Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell and U.S. Senator Arlen Specter, both Eagles fans. During the 2004 U.S. presidential election, Cataldi ripped President George W. Bush as a "bully" for his stance favoring restriction of freedom of speech on radio and television, and Senator John Kerry as a "phony" for questionable financial dealings, and wrote Rendell's name in for President. Recently Cataldi has had U.S. Congressman Patrick Murphy on the show several times, stemming from Murphy's sole dissenting vote on the House Resolution congratulating the Giants for winning the Super Bowl in February 2008.
• In August 1999, Cataldi was arrested for not having a beach tag at the beach in Avalon, New Jersey. Cataldi then proceeded to work with state legislation to challenge the legality of beach tags.
• On July 6, 2008, Angelo and the Morning Crew launched a campaign to get Philadelphia Phillies' outfielder Pat Burrell into the 2008 MLB All-Star Game. Despite four pre-selected fans spending over 50 hours straight doing nothing but voting for Pat Burrell at Harry the K's in Citizens Bank Park, Burrell was not named to the team.
