I'm usually not one to defend Martin, but he was the first to break news of the Fuente hiring. So he had to have had some sort sources to do so. I don't remember many people mentioning Fuente as a candidate after Porter was let go.
He also got made fun of for the 100% not going to Memphis thing, but Austin Nichols was his source for that, so...
He seems like a good kid that has as bright a future as you can have in a field like his that's become as filled with uncertainty over the past 20 years. He's still a kid. But he mostly seems pointed in the right direction on everything. I really don't get all the hate for him (or any of the local guys really, except Weinberg, is Weinberg still going?, but Weinberg was a professional troll before trolling was really a thing, and the Rainman too, but he's mostly just boring).
they jealous of the fact they got a 9-5 and those guys get paid to talk about and attend sporting events. Hell, I am jealous too but not so petty I am going to lash out at them on a message board because of that jealousy.

Not going to Memphis and no longer at Memphis are totally different.

don't get me started on the Rainman....
Martin chose a cutthroat world to try and ply his trade in. Sports reporting is becoming brutal.
We all know the reason Martin is hated. Someone remains butthurt 5 years later

Because those of us Tiger fans that live out of town have inquiring minds and we want to know all things relating to Tiger sports.

but the station offers downloads. I think that's what he was asking about. I'm an out of town fan, and had no problem listening online. :)
