just trying to say something shocking on a big stage to boost his ratings.

As a radio guy I've never bought this and yet I see this argument constantly. Every person I know who has ever done radio has always had the same opinion off the air as they have on the air. Our opinions are very important to us and since we don't make great money to begin with I think it's stupid to assume one would completely contradict themselves for the sake of a few more listeners. We got into radio in the first place to let people know what WE think. It's never about the ratings.

And how is this "shocking?" I think LSU will do better than 8-4 but I don't think saying that is particularly earth-shattering and will shake up the world of broadcasting.
