Twitter War Marc James vs Chris Kro[E]ger. .

[Sam Mills Fan]

Marc James is mouth diarrhea and Chris Kroeger is awesome, but I do have one complaint about Kroeger: He can be annoying on Twitter at times. Mainly with the LOLs and text speak. Way different than his radio persona which is extremely professional I think. Have to remember though that the guy is actually still in his 20s I think.

 

Edit: I wanted to add that I too tweet like that, but I'm just some dude that doesn't have his own professional-sounding radio show.

So, to clear everything up...the whole thing started as a joke in reference to this from Marc three months ago: 

 

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>Really Marc?

It was tongue-in-cheek and not a "cheap-shot" or "low blow." Marc has no self-awareness and doesn't know how to take a joke. He took the shot personally, completely oblivious that it was a joke directed at his self-absorbed comment before the Panthers/Falcons game. 

Either way, he went off the deep end and I fired back. I probably shouldn't have, but whatever. 

As for Primetime, we have 60,000+ listeners. Reality is I can't please every listener for four hours a day, nor will every listener agree with what we're saying. I never develop a topic or commentary to try and drive calls. Listen all day long and you'll realize we take the fewest calls on our show. I try to have an intelligent, informed conversation for four hours every day. I make a concerted effort to stay away from "hot takes" and knee-jerk reactions. 

As an aside, I swear I'm going to start being active on the forums more.

Let's try this again...

This thread is the best if only for the fact that my name is misspelled!

You can introduce yourself now as "Kroeger with an OE".

That was pretty funny.

[Jon Snow]

I was wondering about the spelling. So which is it..O or OE? My spell check would like to know.

[Kroeger]

That was pretty funny.

We're done here.

Who let you in?

Kroeger, not Kroger. Otherwise, I'd be a grocery store tycoon. Which actually doesn't sound half bad.

Blame Igo.

[Jase]

Whatever you say, Crogger.

If you're buying groceries, it's just an 'o'.

If you're listening to the radio, it's an 'oe'.
