Sports Radio Sports Talk

There are so many sports figures, players, owners, coaches, managers, franchises and programs that always get bad press.   Rarely do we hear anything good about Pete Rose or Barry Bonds or Roger Clemons.   When, in fact, Roger Clemons saved the life of one of our listeners to The Celebration of Life Through Sports.   True story.   [...]

When Clemson Mayor, Larry Abernathy, called in to the show to welcome me as “one of their own” and said he would give me the key to the city, I thought it was a figure of speech.   I was shocked when I got this in the mail.   I love the people in The Upstate of South Carolina so [...]

Ok…so it’s no secret that I like pie.   Not unlike Toby from The West Wing, when I am “out of pie,” I am sad.   Pie is the culmination of the rest of the meal.   Everything else is insignificant if pie is invovled.   As comedian John Pinette says of “salad,” the main course is simply a promissory [...]

With the number of requests from folks who want me to send them pictures of The Little Girl Kittens, Seve’ and Vester, I thought it might be best to just post some in a “cat gallery.”   Right now, for lack of a better name, it’s called “The Mewvre.”  Get it?  “The MEWvre.”   Ok…well…let’s move on.   [...]

Doing a show today on “Game Day Traditions.”   Here’s my new one…the Colgate will get squeezed on this orange oral hygiene unit only on Clemson Football Game Days.   What are your “Game Day Trads?”

Everyone remembers going to their first major league game.   I’ll never forget Bat Day at Connie Mack Stadium in Philadelphia 19-boobedeeboom. My Dad and Uncle Manny took my brother and me.   I remember every detail…the dingy grey structure…the smell of stale things (I was 6 and didn’t know it was really stale Ballentine)…and the colors. [...]

It’s not often that there’s an opportunity to chat with an Olympic legend let alone TWO Olympic legends at the same time.   Rafer Johnson won the gold at Rome in 1960 in the Decathlon and Carl Lewis won 9 gold medals over the course of 4 Olympic Games from Los Angeles to Atlanta. Rafer Johnson [...]

I’d like to thank Sgt. Brian Christiansen of The North Carolina National Guard for sharing the article (click link below) he wrote on The Guard’s website about our friend Mendel.   For those interested in what’s going on in Mendel’s life now that he’s been released from the VA hosptial…check this out…he went bowling yesterday!  They told [...]
