Ted Miles sent the following:
Chris Jericho was on the Opie and Anthony show Friday morning and got into a heated argument with the hosts. After doing the usual interview questions and stuff, things took a weird turn.
The subject of Jericho's dad playing hockey with the NY Rangers came up and Jericho talked about he also played some hockey and took part in the Christopher Reeve celebrity hockey show. Reeve has been a target of Opie and Anthony's jokes for years now so one of the comedians, Jim Norton, immediately fired off a bad Reeve joke. Jericho didn't like it and let the guy know it saying he went too far. Jericho explained Reeve was his friend and he defends his friends. Norton said it was just a joke. Things got pretty intense between the two with Jericho eventually loosening up and saying he was just kidding. Norton however, wouldn't let it go and kept antagonizing Jericho about it. Jericho told the guy it appeared his feelings were hurt by some of Jericho's comments.
Opie then offered some context into why Jericho might be sensitive to Norton's joke - Jericho's mother was a quadriplegic. The show pretty much stopped right there with things getting so tense that the XM Radio security guy came in to make sure everything was OK and nothing was going to happen. This apparently offended Jericho as he said he was a professional wrestler and wouldn't resort to violence. This whole thing went on for about a half an hour until eventually they brought in a topless chick into the studio and things settled down. But still, there was tension throughout the rest of the show.

Leave it to a topless chick to calm things down

This is only about his return, nothing about the jokes.

Opie and Anthony were the reason Jericho stopped putting that little thing in his hair years ago. They got on him really bad and he stopped doing it. They were calling him MuleJuice McQueen when he was doing his Fozzy bit. There has been weird heat with them and Jericho for a long time. I don't know why he eventually ended up going back on the show but he didn't like them for a long time. I remember Ron and Fez got him on the air late one night on WNEW and they discussed O&A and Jericho pretty much said he would never talk to them again then they got Anthony involved and I guess thats how they smoothed things over.

Yeah, I'd be pissed too if my mom was a quadriplegic and some ass hole decided to poke fun at the less fortunate the way he did. Although I do see where Norton was coming from when he made the one joke, and if that was that and he apoligized after then it'd be fine, but he did indeed cross the line when Jericho told him not to.

Not to defend Norton.....but how is he supposed to know Jericho's mom is a quad based on dont cross the line? Its kind of unfair. But I guess when you dig yourself a hole like Norton did......you got to be ready to be buried in it.

The fact that Jim Norton still has a career offends me.

The article made it seem much worse than it was, but still, tasteless on Nortons part.

The fact that Jim Norton still has a career offends me. How does he have a career? From how it looks he's the Artie Lang of Opie and Anthony.

Patrice O' Neal was hilarious during this.
"He's being his Jim Norton character!"
