This isn't dementia, it's a complete lack of a **** to give about the team he's covering. It's being in over your head in a field you've worked in for decades. It's brazen incompetence on public display.
Should Randy Peterson retire?
- Thread starter JP4CY
- Start date
We all know better than to mansplain to you KC, gotta monkeysplain instead.

Well we do have close to that many hawkeye trolls on here.
Petersen is wholly irrelevant to how I receive my sporting news. That makes him the Register's problem, not mine.
I want to know the answer to the following question and assume Randy is the only one that would ask it. Maybe he has.
"When in a situation where the offense needs one yard for a first down or touchdown, have you considered lining up under center for a QB sneak?"

I’m neither a journalist nor his age, but my understanding is that, especially before press conferences were recorded and televised, questions like that were a lot more common. Reporter has story pre-write and just needs some quotes to fill in the gaps. The Rag’s insistence on making him do radio is baffling, though.
I remember a lot of posters being happy when Keeler was cut loose. I thought it was a bad call at the time, and it has only gotten worse.
I don't live in Iowa. I don't read the Rag. Never have. But the presence Randy (and, to a lesser extent, Travis) has on Twitter is downright embarrassing. In the year 2022 we may be better off if the Rag stopped covering ISU sports all together if that tag-team is the best effort they're willing to put forward.
Don't even get me started on their podcasts.

It's technically put on by the Rag: "Cyclone Insider."
It's bad. I knew Randy was Randy, but listening to this when I was desperate for more Cyclone content in the 2021 offseason really opened my eyes to how Travis isn't much better.
Travis always comes across like there are 1000 things he’d rather be doing. Maybe that’s just his general demeanor.
Bad is an understatement. I can’t even describe it.
Completely Agree. He cares about his writing and I think he's just trying to use this as a jump to another spot, but idk why he's still around if that's the case. It seems he has a "i'm better than this" demeanor about him, which makes a lot of his stuff fall flat with the fanbase. His effort on Social Media also doesn't help him any either.
I think I saw one of those like 6 or 7 years ago, maybe during the CPR years. I forgot that was a thing and am kind of surprised they still do that. Good thing Randy is easy on the eyes otherwise it would be unwatchable.
I haven't read anything Hines has written in years. He comes off as a super unlikeable asshat and I feel there are better places to get things on the Cyclones.
