During a trip to Green Bay in 1997, Mr. Keith was arrested for trespassing at Lambeau Field.

The Nestor/Keith controversy

A long-running feud has existed between members of The Ticket and Nestor Aparicio, an American sports writer and radio personality. On January 30, 2009, during Super Bowl week in Tampa, Florida, while roaming the Radio Row with a wireless microphone, Keith approached Aparicio in an alleged attempt to bury the hatchet. Aparicio assaulted Keith before the scuffle was broken up by Super Bowl security. The incident was broadcast live during The Ticket's morning show.

In popular culture

The FX drama Justified makes frequent use of the names of "Ticket" personalities for supporting characters as writer/producer V.J. Boyd is a former Dallas resident and an active fan of KTCK. The sixth-season episode "Dark as a Dungeon" makes reference to Gordon Keith as Mary Steenburgen's character Katherine Hale recalls him as "beard, wouldn't shut up about Lee Harvey Oswald" and describes him as "kind of wheels off". The Gordon Keith character is unseen, a deceased mob assassin who links several other supporting characters together.

Lee Harvey Oswald obsession

Keith is a noted Lee Harvey Oswald enthusiast and revels in his actions on that dark day, as was noted in Justified. Keith went so far as to buy Oswald's bathtub from the estate of Oswald's wife Marina and then wrote loving words about it for his award-winning Dallas Morning News column. Keith also participated in an international debate versus noted sports writer Michael Lombardi on both AM and FM about Oswald and the various JFK conspiracy theories. He also once jokingly asked Jimmy Kimmel about Kimmel's point of view on the assassination.
