Thanks for posting the link to the Martin press conference. Since there's no way to comment at the Kent State athletic website, I'll do it here.
To the amateur IDIOT that inserts music into the press conference, STOP f-ing doing it! It's so g-d hard to hear what Martin is saying because the theme song to Cinderella musical is playing in the backround, sometimes drowning out his voice. This is not music class – this is a football press conference. Go make music videos somewhere else.
PLEASE STOP doing this. You've done it on the last 2 press conferences and it's absolutely unbearable.
Thanks for letting me vent & hopefully getting this message to the person(s) in charge of posting these press conferences.
I agree with you. It has been kind of annoying the past two weeks to try and listen to the words around the music. For someone who isn't able to make it out to these press conferences on Monday, I rely on hearing them on the videos. I know several fans like to listen in as well. With that said, KSU Athletic Communications usually produces pretty good videos, etc. But when it comes to football press conferences, I just want to hear what is being said without the music.
