Did Larry really deserve the ax?? He really got screwed in this whole deal. The only things I heard from him were defending himself. Marty should have more class and not bring down people with him.
Marty got fired too right?
Agree..Cotlar took it in a MANerly way...Marty went monkey **** on his *** hahaYea he did, Cotlar shouldn't have been fired though. :skeptical:
He did drop some F bombs. I bet that is frowned apon. Conn is what shocked me.
I agree cytheguy, I doubt we know all the facts and I doubt we ever will.
Despite Larry's show not being very good....he was always a good guy whenever I met him. Conn is a pretty good guy (and a Cyclone)as well.
Too bad they got caught up in that idiot's poop storm
I think you might be right. The crappy thing about a guy like Moron though, is he may have wronged Cotlar a thousand times, and nobody got in trouble because Larry stayed classy about it....possibly this one time that Larry didn't do the right thing, he gets canned because Marty can't keep his mouth shut. Just doesn't seem right. On the flip side, I'm happy cause I get to here Dan Patrick on the way in, and I haven't listened to M&M on the way home in a long time....so I'm happy with things.I agree cytheguy, I doubt we know all the facts and I doubt we ever will.

There's probably more to this story. Chances are there was some truth to what Marty was all over Larry about. And chances are Geoff saw it as an opportunity to get Marty in trouble, so he left or turned the mic on when Marty started going off.
I didnt hear any F-bombs by Cotlar. Still don't think he deserved to be fired since it was in defense and thought it was off-air. Unlike most, I liked his show.
I was left wondering how big of an operation KXNO is. I always imagine sports talk radio studios as being closets with maybe two micropones in them. So much of what they do is phone interviews, and the live location spots are done on something that looks like a kids schooldesk.
My point was, maybe the studio monitors are so cheap that the engineer couldn't tell what was going on the air, they must have been yelling real loud in there.

Agreed. Marty doesn't surprise me. He has a list of troubles as long as my arm and this isn't his first suspension, even in the past year.
Cotlar does surprise me, as does Conn. I presume all these guys have contracts so KXNO would have to show cause for firing them - and that poor ratings isn't enough. I guess you have to assume that they were either responsible for the incident that sparked the tirade, or there's merit to the idea that they tried to set Marty up (that one I doubt)
