Marty Tirrell, Larry Cotlar Radio Argument Includes 12 On-Air F-Bombs

HuffPost tipster D.J. alerts us to this profanity-laced argument that was heard live on the air during a commercial break of a Des Moines radio show. Apparently the mics were still hot as the station cut to commercials, and what transpired was unfortunate. The Des Moines Register reports:

Listeners of Des Moines sports radio station KXNO heard a profane argument between broadcasters Marty Tirrell and Larry Cotlar on Friday morning that included Tirrell's use of the "F-word" at least a dozen times.

The argument -- apparently over media credentials used during last week's Iowa high school boys' basketball tournament -- took place just moments before the beginning of an NCAA basketball preview show.

The Reigster has much more on the backstory. Read it here.

Who cares. A sports reporter is only good for telling you the best steakhouse in town..... nothing else.

Stay classy Iowa.

This shows you how boring radio is.....the off-air segments are more interesting than anything possibly said on-air. Real drama and passion. Howard Stern made a career or producing this type of stuff.

Some high-strung sports guys using the f-word nearly inaudibly under loud commercials. So what's new or interesting about that?

[BarackMan]

Nothing......Next.
