Chris Walters vs. Sammy Allred (KVET)

Though we're never truly surprised by anything political reporter Chris Walters might do, we were taken somewhat aback by his recent attack on KASE-KVET morning talk show host Sammy Allred, accusing the longtime local radio star (and Chronicle favorite) of being a "liar" and a "bully." And though we weren't surprised that Allred immediately responded by coming to our offices for a little "chat" with Walters - if you can find a fly that was on the wall when they met, we'll pay good money for the full transcript - we can't help but be intrigued by the face-off between one of Austin's biggest local personalities and our sometimes too-intrepid-for-his-own-good reporter. We're just glad, for Walters' sake, that it didn't come to blows.
