This song is wild fire

Wow... I was sent a video for it on youtube.com, my addiction. Mentions from Deadspin, everydayshouldbesaturday, every mesage board, etc. All I ever wanted was to have my voice heard, either that or I didn't have enough content for the show. Thank you internet for my 4 minutes of internet fame.

A guy named cbknox has put a video together for the song and put it on youtube. well done. I am sure this is my last weekend on earth once his kids are singing it.

Dont Call It A Come Back - Colonel Reb is Crying

HERE IS THE NEW SONG WE DEBUTED ON THE SHOW ON TUES.


Colonel Reb is Crying 9/26/06

T.O. attempts suicide?

The Fort Worth Star Telegram reports that T.O. tried to kill himself last night. I cannot believe this story. I talk a lot about keeping sports in perspective. This is a guy with real problems behind all of the bluster. HERE IS THE LINK.

This morning is a primary example of why 730 is making such huge gains everyday. I was driving around and the other station is talking about college bball, while Mike and Mike have been all over this story for the last hour. The other station has no idea about the biggest sports story in the world, or does not care. Now... on to more calls about UT/Memphis, talk of Byron Nelson dying, and soccer...
You have a choice... all day.

I have to admit that this part of the story is strange to say the least....

FOX 4's Lynn Kawano said a police report stated Owens ingested a large amount of prescription pain medication at about 7:30 p.m. Tuesday.
Owens publicist called 911 at 7:47 p.m. and asked for emergency crews to respond to Owens' home near Deep Ellum.

That was incredible

I thought MNF last night was great. ESPN handled it well. I thought that perspective was kept as well as it could have been, and it made everyone that watched want to heed to the pleas of the locals, and visit New Orleans.

I have never really cared about the Saints, but I almost lost my voice when they blocked the punt and ran it in to start the game. That was a sports moment I will never forget, and those don't happen everyday.

I thought the Kornheiser speech to start the game was great.

Fridays Show

Before I get to the show, we reported yesterday on the show that the new Tigers beat writer (taking Gary's place) is a guy named Dan Wolken from Colorado Springs (he has been covering Air Force). He is young, he works very hard, and is a great writer. This is a great hire for the CA, and a great replacement for GP, who as you know, was a great beat writer for the Tigers.


It's a Packed out Friday..

Dave Richard from sportsline.com for fantasy football weekend preview, Gary Parrish and the Philanthropy (Picks) segment, Bert Sugar, Worlds Greatest Handicapper Jimmy Denunzio, etc.
I may mix in a local yokle to talk about Ryder Cup (just kidding).

I don't need to tell those of you reading this to listen to the show or the station, but make it a point to tell someone about it. Well prepared hosts, different topics on every show, the best interviews being done in the sports world... its how we roll. Word has gotten out big time as of late and all you have to do is come by our tailgate parties, etc. Thank you for listening, this is just the start. The only challenge was getting the word out, and once it does completely, its all over but the weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Grizz Power Hour

Thursday on the Grizz Power Hour from 3-4 with me and Eric Hasseltine... Grizz Director of Scouting Tony Barrone Jr. in studio. We will talk about all of his travels over the summer and what is going on with the team right now, how players look, etc.

I am also planning on saying the most intelligent thing to ever come from a human tongue on the show.
