Should Randy Peterson retire?

[Prone2Clone]

FYI: when he does interviews with other cities press to give them an “ISU perspective” prior to us playing them, he frequently calls us Iowa and not ISU. It’s persistent and unbelievable.

Fireable offense in and of itself. I mean, I could be wrong, but accuracy is supposed to be important in journalism.

Bump

What did he do now?

Did he get a lifetime supply of pain meds when he broke his leg or what? As far as I'm concerned he is part of the Iowa Beat Writers. The guy needs his credentials revoked from ISU. What a buffoon!!

Cytown thread.

Cytown thread.

I'm not seeing him tweet about it - can you provide a link?

 

[Cycsk]

I can't speak for everyone, but I wait with bated breath each week for his article that is mostly texts from others in his text group!

He covers ISU and apparently doesn’t know that the center is part of campus. Might be time for some medical intervention

I kind of get the feeling that since he lost his wife this is all he has so he is clinging too it. Add in what I imagine from a sports beat writer how it becomes your life it can become kind of a coach afraid of retiring kind of thing.

The Register seriously needs to step in at some point but it is a hard line for them obviously.

What did he do now?

He asked if the project will reduce tuition costs and basically seemingly didn’t realize that the athletic budget and university budget are not the same.

 

[Freebird]

Would anyone notice if he did? He’s a relevant in today’s media.

I mean he just works for the DM Rag. I haven't read a single thing from that for several years. Not once I don't think since Carson King story came out.

Far as I'm concerned they could shut down. He just sounds like a moron in press conferences.

Randy is not only the Issue, the DMR employees a bunch of media hacks. No wonder Randy fits right in.

 

[ZuriCyclone]

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh what?

He's not a homer for any team. Just a bad journalist.

Does DMR hire any actual Journalist. Most of them are partisan hacks.

Easy mistake for new journalist who isn’t seasoned and had time to be knowledgeable on Iowa State yet.

The Big Peach quality sports writing is long gone.
Too bad the Register didn't realize this wasn't even Big Peach worthy and should have been covered by their news team.

 

[exCYtable]

I listened to him on 1460 last Monday night and I'm pretty sure he farted loudly with a hot mic. And that was the most impactful contribution he had during the entire show.

 

[casey1973]

No he shouldn't retire. He should be fired. A long time ago at that.

Clicked on a DMRag article today for the first time in years and ol’ Randy didn’t disappoint. Complete horse manure. Headline mentions officiating concerns but then he glosses over the officiating. Basically used the old “they need to play better”, never mind the officials spotting the Texas teams a few scores. Rest of the article lifted out of what others in some text group he’s part of were saying. The guy needs to be forced out to pasture.

He’s brutal on the radio. Just brutal.

He’s that loony distant relative that spends all his time in conspiracy groups on Facebook and tries to lure in other old folks.
