The guy is playing a character. That's not really him or even what he necessarily thinks about issues. He is independently wealthy and takes on this character to call radio shows to amuse himself and fill the hours.

I fig that out long ago. But his act is old. I would love for him to use his real name on air. Glad he made his money but his little song and dance is worn out. I actually turn off the radio when I hear him.

Jim Copeland

That's his name? He's not a Softball coach is he?

That's not what I've heard. I think Ainge and the rest around Knoxville would know that. That ain't a character.

Here is a story on the d bag

EMS personnel: Tenn. man became abusive in emergency

 

[WallyBalls]

Character or not, he pushes George Dickel No. 12... so he can't be all bad.

I'm sure they do, he's met most of them.

I won't dispute that he's somewhat of a jerk in real life, but the radio side is definitely a character.

if u can wade thru the rhetoric, cattleman or whatever he goes by that day actually raises some good points at times.

I can't forgive Heather for not sealing the deal with Queen Kiffy's recruits.

A real Vol fan would have taken one for the team.

it is not an act what you hear on the radio is the real deal, the guy is a complete jack ass, pretty much universally hated by most of the west Knoxville bar and restaurant employees especially females . He's a weird, weird dude, not too mention a total creeper.

 

[John Vol Jones]

His calls are always the same.
First, talk about how Uconns coach is way better than Pat
Second, belittle Coach Jones while talking up Petrino
Last, put down either of the two radio stations or a host till he is taken off air

That's what I'm saying. I have heard this dude for years and I don't hear an act. I hear an individual that truly feels the way he does and his opinion is the only one that matters. Dude is narcissistic. I feel for his wife.

More of a lack of character. Imo

Me too.

Some call him Small Minded Mike.

He is banned from a number of call in shows not only in Knoxville.

 

[Roustabout]

Thats it, your outta here!!

 

[mdrew27]

I gotta say, the rumor mill is killin it.

 

[UTK]

Never liked his show, but I respect his passion for UT. He will easily find somewhere else to do a show. I'm excited for Dave Hookers show

 

[northknoxvol]

The cattleman is funny....I don't agree with 90% of his calls but I turn the radio up a little when he comes on.

 

[joevol320]

cattleman makes some good points but he's still beating the fulmer dead horse. if he stayed away from those type of comments he'd be a better caller.

hooker will not be that great.

 

[bigdaddy]

I think that Hooker is every bit as entertaining as TB

Google the phrase: "damning with faint praise." This should be the definition.
