Jody Dean and the Morning Team

[jd]

I've read every Russ post on this board since the news of his arrest and I haven't commented on a single one...until now.

If Russ wants to pony up and defend his POV, then he can do so. Until then, we have to go with what we know being reported in the media and by various parties who know or have known the man.

Well said, slam, you nailed it.

Hey Bang, your opinion carries no weight behind anonymity. Have I heard you on the radio? Who are you? I need a name to weigh your opinion by. If you are a famous and successful radio personality in this market, your opinion will carry a lot more emphasis.

Travis, im just a guy whos used to work in the business, mostly behind the scenes. I left it for the simple fact there was too much insider BS, too many 'tudes from 3rd rate jocks and way too many middle management types who were in way above their heads. The business I work in now requires a bit to secrecy due to the clients I deal with...

Speaking of Fairfield travis, my parents live in hubbard, So Ive been over to Sams on 45 quite a few times...The fried chicken is alright, but it needs a bit more flavor.

Born and raised in Fairfield and I have never been to Sam's.

Travis, your incessant stalking of Slambang is amusing. Have you developed an affinity for the guy and his penetrating opinions? Slam and I don't always agree, but that doesn't mean I need to know his name and/or where he lives. Kinda creepy of you. Just sayin'.

Scotty in Plano (just in case you ask).

Stalking?

That's funny. ;D

Thanks for the laugh. :

Travis,

Jody has gone public about his own demons, and how he has dealt with them. Having said that, if Jody did hurt his wife, or anyone else, it would likely make the news. That's what happened with Russ, and the legal issues resulting from those actions are not a part of the "show".

One must remember that their off-air actions and on-air actions are both a representation of their character and their employer. Can you imagine paying Russ to work for you, under the circumstances? He'd make you as an employer look bad, just as he did with CBS.

Simply put, Jody is a professional and Russ is a boy who won't grow up.

THANK YOU scrtr84! That what ive been trying to get across to the "Fans" for awhile. It isnt schtick or satire, its a very serious situation that any respectable company would want to distance.

Op, A sin is a sin to me, no matter if you're a drunkard, thief or a woman beater. We all know russ is going to have to face the consequences concerning his own sins and eventually repent. Its what you do afterwards thats the key: Redemption of yourself and others. Ive known people in this business who've lived way high on the hog with their money and name recognition, then their pride catches up with them and leads to their eventual downfall. This is one of those situations.

Lastly, for all the fingerpointers and fanboys, let me put this into your brainpans once and for all: I have very candid opinions and while it may appear that I have an axe to grind, I dont. Ive never worked with or for Russ Martin or any of his lackeys at anytime in my radio or post-radio careers. However, that doesnt prevent me from giving my 2 cents on a product and person that I have serious disagreements concerning their on and off air behavior. Ive also railed on other media parties in this town concerning their behavior over the past few years as well. I know at least a few who've came on here to speak their piece and defended their point(Mark Davis, Jody Dean, Scott Sams), which I gained more respect for them for doing so. If Russ wants to pony up and defend his POV, then he can do so. Until then, we have to go with what we know being reported in the media and by various parties who know or have known the man.

I know Jody Dean fairly well and when he decided to give up his TV gig i told him not to. Radio will **** you everytime.

BTW...Jody is still the same ego-maniac, loose cannon person he's always been.

I'm curious as to what Jody's demons are from the past?

I don't listen to his show, not into the oldies format, just curious as to his past.

We all have one.

Jody has no demons. He is just a little boy that hasn't grown up yet and accepted responsibilty for his bad behavior. Narrsistic comes to mind also. Radio wise he's had it pretty easy as Ron Chapmaman has been instrumental in Jody's career promotions through out the years.

Ratings are decent for Jody at KLUV. However it would be best for Jody to act somewhat more professional rather than taking swipes at the GM on air. See ya at lunch with the gang Jody.

Here's a link that will shed a little light on Jody's past: http://www.cbn.com/700club/guests/bios/jody_dean_120904.aspx

And any time you can create a spiritual event to become a one-way mirror Me-show, those are some demons for your tail. Nice sleuth sniffing, there traffic guy.
