Posts: 184 May 12, 2008 5:21 PM	Tags : None An emailer, whilst discussing the Linebrink deal, and the host (Murphy) saying that no one had ever heard of the prospects given up for Linebrink, et al, suggested that maybe he should check out Brewerfan.net to do some homework on the Brewers if he's going to discuss them so he's not uninformed. Murphy went on a tirade making fun of Brewerfan.net and saying that he'd go to ESPN.com to get his info (he mentioned Baseball America too). Anyone who would like to tell Owen what he's missing, or that he's a moron...whatever, here's his email address: hellerandmurphy@1070mail.com The guy is definitely a tool. ===== Peter: I told Lois I wouldn't drink Quagmire: Aw, c'mon Peter: Since you put it that way, give me a beer!

Brewerfan.net yard signs class up any residence. Your 2008 Milwaukee Brewers: Like watching a crocodile attack any catchable thing as opposed to a snake attacking a bird in the air.

ESPN and ended up in Madison and is now co-host of Heller and Murphy, a sports-talk show on 1070 am from 3-6 pm. He comes across as an idiot, more or less. ===== Peter: I told Lois I wouldn't drink Quagmire: Aw, c'mon Peter: Since you put it that way, give me a beer!

If some knuckle-headed blabbermouth slams something (when he clearly doesn't do his due diligence), that just makes me think said thing might be worth checking out. Anyone that cites ESPN as their main source for sports information... well, there's probably just no saving him I can't believe he's gone... -- Luke Skywalker, aboard the Millennium Falcon, clearly meaning to refer to Brett Favre 3/4/2008: The end of an era "It's been everything I thought it would be, and then some" -- Brett Favre, on his career

Posts: 186 May 12, 2008 5:43 PM	I agree with both of your points, but the way in which he spewed on, railing against this site and those who come here as some sort of dweeb and idiot rubbed me the wrong way. I think it'd be funny if his inbox was filled up with brewerfan.net denizens giving him the 'what-for.' ===== Peter: I told Lois I wouldn't drink Quagmire: Aw, c'mon Peter: Since you put it that way, give me a beer!

Posts: 805 May 12, 2008 5:51 PM	Wow. I knew who Inman was before I even came to Brewerfan.net. To be honest, I don't think I would care to have this guy's avid listeners showing up here. I know that's a poor attitude, but geez, has he even visited the site? If he goes to ESPN to get his baseball fix and he's somehow a Brewer fan, he must get really bored. How could you possibly ever know what's going on with the Brewers from ESPN? "I'm into scales right now." -John Coltrane

I don't think the guy is a Brewers fan; he just seems like another set of flapping gums that happens to be in a MLB market (or in this case, state).

It would might well just give him satisfaction that he struck a nerve. It's not worth the time for a talk show host.

That being said, I sure as heck hope this dude does his homework about UW recruits or he will be in a world of hurt.

Posts: 147 May 12, 2008 7:02 PM	Owen's got one thing going for him - at least one extremely cool friend: http://www.espn1070.com/pages/weaselradio.html Ben Weasel is one of my musical heroes, and their radio show has its moments. Check out the podcasts if you want to hear Owen Murphy at his least objectionable. Honestly, putting on a completely phony anti-intellectual persona is pretty much a job requirement these days if you want to talk sports on the radio or write about sports for a newspaper or a magazine. It wouldn't surprise me much if he was only pretending not to know who Will Inman was, because 99% of his audience doesn't know and would be put off by being expected to know. If he really doesn't know Inman, I'd say that's evidence he's wholly unqualified to have any opinion whatsoever about the Brewers, much less one that is beamed out to the public at large.
