Matt Perault (radio guy) tried the same thing but was so over the top that it didn't fly.
That guy was terrible.
Is Perault even in the area anymore. I know he went over to Des Moines and was doing a show. I used to listen to him some on the way home from work. He was a real good interviewer, but he thought he was Jim Rome's little brother. He took the Todd and Tyler angle and tried to be edgy and talk about how all things Nebraska athletics realated sucked. It didn't work.
The writers for OWH just need to let it go. I don't mind Shatel too bad he has moved more into the nostalgia piece relm. As Knappic said Barfy has always tried to be contrarian he thinks he is writing for the Washington Post or something.
