After being fired from Sports-Talker WGNU in St. Louis, both Jack Clark and Kevin Slaten said they plan to take action against the station. Clark said former St. Louis Cardinals player Albert Pujols (pictured) had used performance enhancing drugs. Pujols responded with a strong denial and said he would sue the radio station and Clark. Slaten told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, ?I don?t know what Albert Pujols? damages are, but there are a lot of damages for me. Albert Pujols didn?t even mention my name. Why does this fall on me??
Clark said, ?I stand by what I said. I?m not sure what I?m going to do, but I?m doing something for sure.? Slaten tells the paper he got the termination call from insideSTL President Tim McKernan. ?I said ?What?'," Slaten said. ?He said, ?We have to do what?s in the best interest of the company.? I said, ?You tell me how firing me is in the best interest of the company when you and [WGNU boss Burt Kaufman] said [earlier] that I did nothing wrong.? Slaten said McKernan told him, ?I know that, but everybody associated with the show has to go." ?I said, ?Did you fire the producer? Did you fire yourself, you?re the one who paired us, did you fire yourself???
