It appears longtime Dallas Sports Talker Chris Arnold (pictured) is in a bit of trouble after admitting on Twitter he stole large chunks of an article written by Scott Kacsmar which he posted on the "105.3 The Fan" website. Arnold was not on the air Monday and as far as we could tell he was not on today. CBS did not respond to e-mails for comment. Kacsmar's article was originally published at coldhardfootballfacts.com. Kacsmar sent Radio Ink the side-by-side comparison in a follow-up article he wrote called "How to Blatantly Plagiarize a NFL Article." He says he doesn't plan to pursue any legal action against Arnold at this time. If Arnold worked for you, what would you do?
Arnold is part of a three-person show called the G-Bag Nation that airs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in Dallas. CBS Radio in Dallas has not commented on the situation other than a report in the Dallas Morning News that the station is investigating. There was an exchange on Twitter between Arnold and Kacsmar that as of late last night was still up on Arnold's Twitter page. Arnold apologizes after being called out by Kacsmar. Here's that exchange...
