“See…I don’t lie ”
Source – Twitter 1:29 PM Jul 8th

This may be the best quote from Matt Perrault (blogger and infrequent AM radio co-host) that I’ve heard. Matt got upset when his own quotes were posted on a web site and he threatened legal action against what he believed to be defamation and libel, and threatened to sue EVERYBODY for ANYTHING they said about him.

Below is the complete list of quotes that were cycled through on mattperrault.com. Some show his ignorance, some bring to light his ego, some are his famous predictions, some show his neediess, some point out his foibles, but they are all memorable, in my opinion anyway. Your mileage may vary.

Matt claims that the “majority” of the quotes are fake with these statements…

“Just FYI – the majority of this “quotes” are fake and I will take this fight to the fullest extent of the law. Defamation is happening IMO”
Source – Twitter 11:44 PM Jul 8th

“just got worse cause now the quotes are FAKE.”
Source – Twitter 11:58 PM Jul 8th

“The quotes are fabricated and flipped. I never said the majority of what you put up there”
Source – Email to me 7/8/2009.

So, I’ve taken the liberty to list ALL the quotes that were in rotation at mattperrault.com, and attribute each one to the source of it, most are from Twitter or his own blog. You’ll find out that Matt Perrault, is indeed, a liar. Maybe he can sue himself for some kind of fabricated libel.

[a whole buncha] published quotes, maybe (until I finish going through podcasts) 6 of them can’t be reproduced exactly (due to paraphrasing or not having the exact podcast).

UPDATED 12/09/2009

UPDATED 10/02/2009

UPDATED: 6/15/2009 – I removed one quote regarding Jade McCarthy and Charles Barkley, but supposedly, I’m being sent the podcast for it. So if/when I get that, I might change my mind, but then again, it’s just radio dude. This was Matt’s demand. I’m not sure who the other parties are, but I hope it’s not Joe Buck.

I am only going to say this once.

Remove the post about Charles Barkley and Jade.  I never said ANYTHING like what you are attributing to me.  I don’t care about anything else on your obsession site but that is post is a lie and will cause other parties to get involved.

The best part about this excuse is that in this youtube video, Matt appears with a popped collar, indoors. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqSgBYHi3tk&feature=player_embedded

“[To listener that watched a Creighton game] No, you’re WRONG, Creighton never ran a triangle defense tonight, I was in press row, I would have seen it.

Source – Creighton basketall post game show, sorry, no podcast of that! This may be considered “hearsay” in court, rather than libel, unless I can find a Creighton fan that recorded that show. I believe it was the same game that a fan near Matt got ejected at the game.

“Nobody [radio stations] looks at the 18-34 demographic anymore … I’m proud to say that Big Sports 590 is #2 in the demographic radio stations look for, the 18-34 age”
Source – Matt’s blog (comments deleted by radio station) – (See next quote) These quotes were paraphrased from the comments on Matt’s blog when he declared that Big Sports 590 was #1 in some certain demographic. I think eventually he was forced to remove his comments regarding radio ratings. I’m still searching for the source of these quotes, which were stated at 2 different times, but then again, see this next quote.

“18-34 [age demographic] is the best demo for sports talk radio. Look it up. 25-54 is now dead. ESPN anyone?”
Source – TnTU.net It appears Matt doesn’t know his audience, or maybe his employers never tell him who is audience is supposed to be. As far as I can tell, his audience is Boston fans that don’t like Tennessee, Peyton Manning, or Gregg Marshall. Is there a market for that?

“[On getting fired]This move had NOTHING to do with subject matter, sales on Big Sports 590, or The Big Show. Our ratings. Or what we did for 4 years with the show.”
Source – TnTU.net I sincerely believe Matt thinks this is true. Who knows what Journal Broadcast Group told him. It’s not like they’re the beacon of honesty in the industry or something.
