Did Beyonce Cause Yesterday's Power Outage In The Superdome?

THE MOUTH, FEBRUARY 4TH, 2013 –– Lots of fingerpointing in New Orleans yesterday following the 34 minute power outage during the Super Bowl. At the time, The Baltimore Ravens were leading the San Francisco 49ers 28-6 when most of the lights with 13:22 left in the third quarter. A couple of hours after the game, officials cited an "abnormality" in the power system that triggered the shutdown and a number of new sources credited an unnamed radio reporter as pointing the blame at the Beyonce halftime show which may have overloaded the system. And while the identity of the reporter wasn't shared, Jon Frosch tweeted "Dial Global radio just explained this by saying 'Beyonce used all the power." According to USA Today, Philip Allison, a spokesman for Entergy New Orleans, told the Associated Press that all the feeds into the Superdome were operating as expected and that the blackout was most probably the result of improperly maintained equipment at the venue."

Bubba And Schnitt Take Their Case To The Airwaves; Things Get Heated Between Schnitt And Reporter [VIDEO]

THE MOUTH, FEBRUARY 1ST, 2013 –– Was there ever a doubt the defamation case between Todd Schnitt & Bubba was far from over? Both hosts returned to the air yesterday and wasted little time in discussing the case which has now brought international attention. Clem spent most of the morning talking about the trial repeating that he didn't defame either Todd "MJ" Schnitt and Schnitt's wife. "It's been a real, rough time, millions of unnecessary dollars spent, the tax payers of Hillsborough County and the judiciary system, the strain. It's a victory for the Saturday Night Lives, the Glenn Becks, the Rush Limbaughs, the Howard Sterns, the Cowheads," Clem said to WTSP News, "It's a victory for all of those people and oddly enough, MJ himself." In a rather surprising move, Bubba took a call from from one of the jurors. A gag order doesn't allow him to reach out to jurors, but THEY can call into his show if they wished to do so. With her identity kept hidden through a voice scrambler, they talked for about an hour. She told him MJ's parody about his wife's tattoo swayed the jury in Bubba's favor."That parody and the talk about the 'tramp stamp.' I've never heard that before, that killed them. I kid you not, that actually killed them." Bubba estimates he and his company have racked up nearly $2 million in legal fees and told WTSP "We're going to seek fees, we prevailed unanimously, they owe us our fees."

I am truly sorry and I hope I can earn your trust back." He added "Beginning today, I will take a suspension and be off the air.
