Bubba the Love Sponge Listening/Trial Discussion Thread January 14-18, 2013

[The Butler]

UPDATE: Cox Radio, the company which owns the station which broadcasts Bubba Clem's show in Tampa, WHPT, struck a settlement Friday with Todd "MJ" Schnitt to drop out as defendants in his lawsuit against Clem, agreeing to keep terms of the arrangement confidential. The existence of the settlement was confirmed by Schnitt's lawyer, according to John Barry, the Times reporter who has joined me in reporting on this case.

So now mj is just going after bubba

Mj looks like he's shitting himself in that suit.

I can't wait to see the looks on his face when he gets laughed at throughout this circus and at the end when they deny him and laugh some more.

To be honest I really never thought Bubba had anything to worry about. Cox settling though puts a whole new twist on the case. If it was such a open and shut case then why settle? It would worry me a little if the company that I was broadcasting for settled to wash there hands of the situation.

Might've been costing Cox more to defend themselves then it would to settle. They said it was a business decision, and that's what matters to them, the bottom line.

Did you get around to reading the suit?

But Keith Lawless, Tampa market manager for Cox Radio, said the settlement doesn't indicate a lack of support for Clem's position, noting that Cox's attorney is now helping Clem's lawyers through the trial.

"(The settlement) was a business decision, but in no way reflects that we are not in support of Bubba," said Lawless, who added that he is attending the trial to support Clem and plans to attend as much of the proceedings as possible. "It's not such a bad thing that all our focus is now on defending Bubba."

Pretty strong line from Manson.

Manson-"If the glove doesn't fit, you're on a billboard with Schnitt"

[Cpt. Mcgillicutty]

Hold on bubba, MJ lives in a 9000 sq ft mansion in a gated community, you live in a 5000 plus sq ft mansion in gated community, MJ`s kids go to private school, but so does your son, MJ`s wife chooses not to work, but neither did Heather, MJ chose to align himself with OJ, but didn`t bubba get the exclusive OJ interview when he came to Tampa? Stop bubba please, your burying yourself

[The Butler]

So shitty. Just got the call I've been dreading.

Mom Butler passed away peacefully over night.
