Russ Martin indicted

WTF? People that listen to this crap, Russ Martin, have to be the bottom of the barrel. What is entertaining/enjoyable about this crap being spewed across the airwaves? Dunno, beyond me.

I am going to get chided heavily for this, but I am going to say it anyway. I have been trying to figure out who Russ reminds me of, and now I get it. Well, he actually reminds me of the Great Gatsby. Do you think he would be this popular if he did not have all that money? Would he have Trey agree with everything he says if was not making $2 million a year? Would he have a girlfriend make herself at home so he can pay her bills? What would is life be like he was still working for his dad or working with is brother?

I am not condoning Russ at all. Actually, I feel sorry for him because I believe, fame got to his head. Oh yeah, it is all a schtick according to his unoffical message board, but can't you tell the difference between the way he is now compared to three years ago? Yes, he is probably scared because he may lose everything. Maybe I do not know what I am talking about so you are welcome to chide me or help me understand. Maybe I am just ranting.

CG08, you make a excellent point, this whole situation reads like F. Scott Fitzgerald. A man who has it all, then an event comes into play and entails a nosedive, abeit by drugs, drink or in russ's case, domestic violence. In a way, you do have to feel bad for the guy, as he got involved with a woman who drove him to this point. But, then you realize that all people are responsible for their own issues and have to face the eventual consequences. He being a jerk may have been a trait he got him his old man, but he has the power to change that himself.

I am a female and I believe many factors including her drove him to it. He could have used self-control. Instead he lets peope take advantage of him.

College graduate... Really?

I am male, a victim of domestic violence. Physical domestic female to male nationally happens to males 25% of the time. I am one of those cases of physical, verbal and emotional violence has occured. Personally speaking, self-control is a big issue that the accused told me was the problem. I wish they would have got help and would still seek help to this day for there issues with facing society.
 
BY allowing Russ to remain on the air, making indirect remarks about it makes CBS condoning his actions. CBS is insensitive to domestic violence as long as they feel their coffers are filled. CBS hasa strange set of priorities in Dallas, cutting Sandi Sharp at KLUV allowing Russ to be on the air at KLLI. Gender bias? Insensitivity? Spittle has no backbone, or common sense? You decide.
