re: Observation of Matt Moscona

What I don't understand about the Moscona haters they apparently listen to him a lot but at the same time hate listening to him. Seems like he lives rent free in their heads. We're lucky sports fans in that we have many sources for information. A different take is just a click away. If you hate him quit listening to him. Problem solved.

I’ll help you understand from at least my perspective. Matt has been around LSU for a long time and with that comes a lot of connections and sources. He’s the head of programming (or a similar title) for LSU’s affiliate ESPN radio station. With that comes a ton of information and access, but also means he can be used as a mouthpiece for the admin. I’ve gotten used to listening to him to the point where I know what to beleive and what to think he might be pulling out of his arse for the most part.

Now to why I don’t love him. He has a very know-it-all attitude. He wants to make sure everyone knows when he is right, and that means reminding his listeners over and over and over again. He’s also very much an attention whore, and im just personally not a fan of that.

TLDR: To me, his personality is very annoying, but I recognize that he can have good information and he’s articulates what he is trying to say very well, so that’s why I listen.

Hunt Palmer has all of Moscona’s good qualities with none of the bad, which is why I think he’s by far the best BR media member. He just doesn’t have as many sources as some of the other guys.

Not to mention he spends half of his show telling you what he's fixing to tell you

He’s quite knowledgeable

not anything baseball related and it’s quite obvious he’s steals info from the baseball guys on the recruiting board who are actually boots on the ground doing the work during the open portal dates.

You make my point for me. Don't listen to him! I don't like Finebaum therefore I don't listen to him. I don't get on here and bitch about him. Listen to Hunt, Matt Flynn, Jacob Hester, Ruffino, Jimmy Ott, Hannigriff, Glenn West, Scarborough, Songy, and I'm sure I'm forgetting some others. It's not like in 1210am radio days with Mike from Plaqemine calling in every day and we had no choice but to put up with it. Today we have choices, if you don't like what you're listening too don't listen. I'll get off my soapbox.

You know what the funniest part of your whole argument is? You are on this board complaining about people complaining about a radio host and your whole point is that we don’t have to listen to him. But guess what? You don’t have to read this board.

Dude has been completely wrong about the transition from BK to Lane and from Mcloser to Wade. Can’t really take anything he says seriously anymore

He was a complete mess in the Kelly job hunt too.
