Well, you'll be riding the remote again tonight I guess, because Marty's Minute runs tonight at 10. But, Drake fans have nothing to worry about ... he's talking Prairie Meadows racing tonight.
But it does bring up a good point -- why the hate? What exactly has Marty said/done to inspire such venom on this (and other) boards? I'm simply curious ... so feel free to fire back and tell me. Because I listen to Marty and Miller frequently (but not all the time), and I don't understand why people LOVE to HATE him so much. So give me some reasons (but don't waste your time with "HE SUCKS") ... who knows, maybe we will make a viewer feedback edition of Marty's Minute in the future....
Thanks for watching ... or at least realizing that I'm still alive.

Andy, the man lies, and has been a Drake hater all season. If he would do an honest job commenting on the possitives along with the actual negatives he wouldn't have so many people angry with him. As it stands now, he has been rebuked by his station and his sponsors, for his comments on such things as bashing Sandy at every opportunity and claiming he's giving Josh's phone number out. Sorry but the man is an A$$ H@!e. The town, the state, the teams, and frankly humanity would be better off if Marty just quietly vanished into the abyss.

| Marty T is a bully. He bully's his callers. He bully's anyone who disagrees with him. And he uses the mic to do it. He continually badgered and ridiculed Drake with lies and supposed inside information. I've heard him do the same to advertisers who wouldn't advertise with him. The last time he left town, he was run out.
He made a big deal about going to St. Louis this year. I was there. MT RAN away from Drake fans. A few of us had some off mic comments to make to him. But he can't be a bully off mic. Like most bullies they run from a fair fight.
Let Bill play. |

| There were a couple guys in St Louis that wanted to have a private talk with the C ... thank God the DA wasn't anywhere to be seen after 10:30 pm.
How Cotlar keeps from kick'n the guy's nuts up in his throat is beyond me.
Miller can be a DA too. |

| A couple of things come to mind with regards to MT in response to Mr. Garmen's request:
1. Both on your KCCI news and on his radio show, MT went on a baseless tirade about Drake changing its academic standards for the Davis'. That was just 100% incorrect. I tried to call Marty and tell him so, but he hung up. My point was that under Kurt K, he had a year that he lost 4 kids to academics at semester break. All 4 were JUCO's. If you look at Drake's team last year, NOT 1 of the starting 5 was a JUCO. So KCCI allowed MT to go on their news and report something that was baseless, a plain lie. Any first year journalism student would know to check the facts first.
2. On MT's show a couple of weeks ago he went on another tirade (with Andy Garmen on his show) about Drake (Sandy and Maxwell) completely dropping the ball. Forcing the Davis' out so she could hire her own person. My guess is that Keno wasn't going to sign an extension until he knew he wasn't leaving, which makes very good business sense. Sandy and Dr. Tom's relationship is fine, she was not forcing him out. And Coach Phelps and Sandy's existence together at ASU lasted all of 2 weeks. She didn't owe anyone anything. MT is just mad because she won't talk to him on his show and I don't blame her. She'll talk all day to Cotlar because he is actually a respected journalist who is in the business for more than just stroking his ego.
3. With regards MTs rank of a completely different subject, Little League baseball and playing on Sunday mornings, again he made statements that were just false. But that is a post for a different site.
I understand Marty has a job to do, but HE chooses to do it without integrity. He doesn't check on the facts, he makes personal attacks, and he doesn't let anyone publically challenge him. Contrary to his belief, he doesn't sit on top of the hill. When or if 1700 gets local programming in the afternoon, maybe we will get to listen to a real sports journalist at that time slot.
KCCI doesn't need to bring itself down to Marty's level unless it is trying to get its ratings down far enough to be over taken by the field. Your station is above MT's kind of baseless BS.
Thanks for listening.

I watch KCCI and listen to M&M (although I find myself frequently flipping to 1700 despite the fact that they don't have a local sportstalk guy).
My complaint with Terrell is not based on opinions I disagree with, but instead his lack of preparation and emotionalism. First off, I get their show. Two guys, talking sports, one takes one side, the other offers the opposite opinion. It causes people to react and gets callers. It's not that different than talking sports with your friends over beers. And just like the discussions with my friends -- there's always one who is first to shoot off his mouth without any facts to back it up, and then he gets pissed off when you start disagreeing with him. This is Marty Terrell. After a while you get sick of listening to your friend and you stop talking sports with him. This is where I am with Marty. I really wish they would bring Deace back to sports. BTW, I don't LOVE to HATE the guy. He's worn me out and I'm tuning him out. |

Anything but that. Deace was ok when he talked about sports. Unfortunately, he didn't spend much time talking sports. |

Three things Marty has said that caused me to stop listening:
1. I posted this on another thread, but I am repeating it anyway. Marty was running Phelps down for the graduation rate at NC State one year being 0 percent. Marty was wondering how Sandi, and the high standards Drake, could possibly hire him. A caller stated that one year when Keno was at Southern Indiana the graduation rate was 14 percent. Marty quickly shut the caller down, stated he was simply trying to throw Keno under the bus, and his comment was irrelevant. Need I say more?
2. A few weeks ago a Paul Revere's pizza delivery guy was assaulted at the 24oo block of Boston Avenue. Terrell was talking about it on aid, and stated that Paul Revere's was located in the Drake neighborhood and that the Drake neighborhood wasn't safe. The assault didn't happen in the Drake neighborhood, yet he made it a point to once again make disparaging remarks about Drake. Need I elaborate?
3. When it was announced that Keno was leaving Terrell kept saying Drake needed to pony up the money and pay him the same as Providence. He was agreeing with idiot callers when they were saying Drake has money dripping off the walls. I sent Terrell an e-mail with directions on how to find Drake financial information on Drake's Web site (it is all there under business and finance), specifically a PowerPoint that outlines nicely Drake's financial standing for the past several years. That information will show that paying a head coach $1 million was not possible. Even after I sent that information he continues to say Drake has the money and should have paid Keno. As someone else stated, he makes statements without doing his homework.
Andy, I hope this provides some concrete examples. |

| I had to log in on this one. I am glad to see that I am not the only person who is completely disgusted with KCCi and their commentary and coverage of the Bulldogs. WHO was consistently the frontrunner all winter long when it came to covering Drake. It just got to the point where I tuned in to 13 first when it came to seeing what was happening. KCCI is too negative.
I am now a loyal WHO viewer. |
