Derek Ruscin will be taking time away form his afternoon role on ESPN Arkansas stations. His comments during Friday's show concerning Michael Turner went too far and did not meet our companies' standard for quality content. ESPN Arkansas works every day to provide honest, fair and passionate sports talk programming for all of our listeners. Our commitment to that standard will not change. We will further deal with this matter internally moving forward.

If I'm a booster, I can't see why I would want him back. Do you?

They won't fire him, chuckles called the fans terrorists and nothing happened to him.

Considering the incident is a ratings boost and everyone fell for it by giving them undeserved publicity then yes his boss would want him back. That doesn't make it right but that is just the way it is.

He called baseball player Michael Turner a candy arse and loser for complaining about some fans on Twitter.

Full quote from Saturday Down South :

quote:
“I’ll say it, and I wouldn’t say this about a young player, Michael Turner, he’s a fifth-year guy from Kent State, he’s a stupid arse, the catcher for the Arkansas Razorbacks,” he said during Friday’s episode.
Then followed it up with this, “First of all, you’re not a Razorback, you’re a rental player and have sucked, so thanks for nothing. Secondly, as a rental player, you do not get to come in here and criticize this fan base, you stupid arse. Not a chance. The question was about the entire team, and you used the entire answer to take a swing at this fan base. You’re a disgrace, Michael Turner. You’re a disgrace! You should not get to wear that uniform again. What a loser. You know why they’re losing, because you’re a loser, and you’re the catcher. You’re in charge of this whole thing on the infield. You’re a loser and a disgrace. And you can’t get out of this program soon enough.”

Derek needs to leave the state after reading that.
