The problem is, if you wanted to listen to the game you were forced to listen to that moron on the air doing the "broadcast." If I had an option I would turn him off and listen to the other channel. Unfortunately, he was it. You had no clue what was going on in the game on a play by play basis. All you got was his screaming and ranting and taunting of the opposing team. I didn't even had a kid at STM but I was offended. If you want to listen to his idiotic rants on the weekends you may do so, I have the choice not to. But if I want to listen to a game and he's the only choice on the radio, we deserve better. Now he can spew his incoherent ramblings on the weekends with his loyal group of 8 followers.
I can't stand jpb but there was an alternative to listen to the semi-final. STM boradcasts their games on another station. A station change could have saved many people headaches apparently.
you did have an alternative. unfortunately for you, you were ignorant of that fact. by the way, you can't afford to purchase 5 hours of radio air time (3-sat. & 2 on sun.) on weekends as he has been doing during the last several football seasons and have a following of only a handful of listeners. again, just change the station if that is your choice. but, give me the choice to listen to him if i choose to do so.
My wife, daughter and I went to NO to see the game. Have a granddaughter on the dance team at Acadiana. The announce crowd was 50K+........The Franklington and Karr game was great also. Drove back after the game and arrived home about 3:00AM. Didn't have to listen to JP but the PA system in the dome is nickle an dime. Can't understand a damn thing said....all in all had a great time. Brees was in attendance for the last two games. Got to chat a little bit with him. Talked some about the health of the team going into the finial stretch. He said that it will take a couple of games to get Bush and Thomas in game shape. But they are 100%......
Actually, since I was traveling and had to listen to the online feed, I did not have an alternative. Learn the facts before you start calling people names. As for the weekend show, I don't care what he says on that show. And if there are enough people who find that garbage entertaining then more power to him. BUT, broadcasting a game is not the time to act like an idiot. Your job is to call the game for the people listening on the radio who can't see the game. There's a difference. Perhaps that's difficult for you to understand but, I guess that's why you're a big fan of the weekend show. And, sorry but you will no longer have the choice to listen to his antics for game broadcasts because he doesn't have a clue how to do it.
Well, I have a different opinion of his Saturday morning show. This guy needs to be OFF the air and 1420 needs to take action before it gets to bad. I do not listen to his show regularly. I actually only listened to it because 1420 was on my radio when I got in my car that Saturday morning (two Saturdays ago). I got to hear this imbecile be completely disrespectful to our new football coach who had yet to be named. He went on a 5-10 minute rant about how 'hot' Mark Hudspeth's wife was and that someone sent him a picture and if that was his wife, 'Hudspeth was really bringing the wood'. Get this moron off the air. You have a professional man bringing his wife and 3 kids to become a part of this community and you have that trash on the air. I was completely disgusted and embarrassed. You can tell me not to listen to him, but there is no place for that around here.
I know some of you know this, but he was kicked out the broad-cast booth during the STM vs Acadiana game. Got into a big show-down with someone. When he was calling for someone to bring him his cell phone he needed it to finish the broad-cast on the side line. He set up near the end zone. He calls a play and if you can understand it you are better than me. Than he sells a motor-cycle, car, hamberger or tells you to visit someone that has a great product while the next play is being run and repeats it several times.......might be a great guy but a play caller for football or softball, I think not....
Before Mr. Bitter, there was weekend programing.
I don't want to go back.

This may have been discussed but I cant find it. The only information I find regarding the Bitterman thing (i.e. not calling anymore games, etc) is in the West Monroe/Acadiana thread. I heard callers to jay's show asking and jay simply referring them to station managment. So could someone enlighten me as to what happened?
In another post I stated that he was kicked out the media booth during the STM vs. Acadiana game for getting into a showdown with someone. He asked someone to bring him his cell phone over the radio which I assume they did. He was later seen durning the game in the end-zone calling the game over his cell.......he is not a radio voice and should not call games.
