The CycloneFanatic message boards are teeming with life about Iowa State Cyclone threads, and until recently, a Matt Perrault thread.
A member there by the userid of jmb started a Matt Perrault discussion pointing to a blog post here on sneakydave.com. There was some discussion about it, some hated it, some liked it, but it seemed like a civil discussion to me. Here was my one entry, wishing Matt good luck at KXNO
To clarify my blog entry about Matt “I never lie” Perrault…. I don’t hate Matt, I like to point out his disingenuous comments. He’s a human contradiction. It started while he was in Omaha when I was trying to buy the BlueJayCafe, and keep it from becoming a paid rivals site. I’ve golfed with Matt, he’s a good golfer, but needy, popped collar and all. That said, he can fly off the handle with listeners, tell them they are on crack, call them stupid, convince management they are wrong, etc. Maybe he doesn’t do that in Iowa between talking about the Red Sox, Tom Brady, Tim Tebow, Gregg Marshall, or Gator Football, but we in Omaha have all heard it. It appears he works hard at his job, although he seems to be frequently uninformed, and blames his lack of fact checking on “not being a journalist”. I personally hope he enjoys a long and illustrious career with KXNO. Good luck!Then a few days later, Matt shows up, apparently in a fit of rage…

Our hero recently created a blog post proclaiming in detail his top quarterbacks of all time. As you’ll see in this blog entry (read it before he edits it), he lists Tom (If you ain’t cheatin’, you ain’t tryin’) Brady behind Joe Montana, and also lists Joe Montana as his #1 quarterback of all time.
Now, I’m not sure why Matt made this blog entry, but he must seem to think his opinions are of great importance in “teh internets”.
But wait! Back in 2007, On the Big Sports 590am station in Omaha, Matt had a discussion about the greatest quarterbacks of all time with Travis Justice, and proclaimed:
“I know that I’m a Patriot fan, but I’m also RIGHT! Tom Brady is a better quarterback than Joe Montana.”
Which would seem to me that Tom Brady is actually Matt’s #1 quarterback. Which version is true? Does anybody care? Most people don’t, and most people that know Matt are aware of his shock topics to get listeners, depending on his whims of the day, and the current ratings. It seems to be a daily ritual whereby our hero will update his predictions on certain games during the week. He’ll make a Superbowl prediction at the beginning of the football season, and if it doesn’t seem like it’ll pan out, he’ll declare that the Saints will win, one day before the Superbowl, and proclaim himself a genius when it comes true!
Many people remember this “Brady is the greatest!” quote by Matt on the Matt and Travis show in Omaha. Everybody could almost somehow see through the airwaves the eyerolls that Travis must have been throwing around after Matt put his stamp of approval on it.
On a similar note, Matt seems to be upset that the MattPerrault.com quote system has been taken offline, which was his original DEMAND to me. MCGOUGH LAW! MCGOUGH LAW!
One, or perhaps both, of these reasons explains why Matt is pissed about the attempt to sell a domain named mattperrault.com for $99
1) He thinks that the name is worth more than $99
2) He can’t come up with $99.
I won’t even get into his pathetic attempts to bring up Jade McCarthy on his New Year’s blog entry, when previously he promised that he would shut down all discussions about her everywhere.
“Thanks for the 7 pages of pub!”, you’re welcome, Matt!
A part time AM radio co-host and full-time Twitterer begs listeners, and non-listeners, to email his bosses to complain about him. Crazy talk, but I’ll oblige. This is the same part-time AM radio co-host that has a job reporting on UNI and Drake basketball in Iowa, but seems to only care about Creighton basketball in Omaha. He must have been drinkin’ at the computer again because his grammar’s been sliding.

Mc Bulldog:
This guy has no business in Des Moines as a sports talk show host … let’s all email his boss. Can you imagine what would happen if the shoe were on the other foot in Omaha? OMG … the Pope would get in the fray!!!

I think we should call some of the advertisers on KXNO, let them know how we feel about the situation. -

Two Drake fans called me and one said he is thinking of hiring homeless guys to picket the station and the other guy said he is going to make T-shirts and give them out.
Perrault is busting open a hornet’s nest!!!
Matt:
Please email my boss again…that’s was great comedy.
Mecha Bulldog:
I didn’t realize KXNO’s ratings were so good that they could afford to pass off a local fan base. And laugh about it.
Matt:
No, we were laughed at the email cause the person said that it was unethical to have me on the radio cause I run a Creighton website….
