Coach K says, "The life lessons I learned from Bob Knight are immeasurable." What life lessons? How to throw chairs and obscenities? How to berate officials? How to manhandle players? How to mess around with cheerleaders? Is it coincidence or did Bob Knight wait around to break a record, then decide to retire? His son will now coach Texas Tech. Yeah, right. Talk about nepotism! Remember what happened at DePaul when Joey took over for Ray? By the way, what's the over-under on how many days it will take for Knight to wind up at ESPN? I hate Knight but my fervent prayer is that if he winds up at ESPN, he replaces Dick Vitale who is arguably the biggest windbag ever put on this planet(Stephen A. Smith and Skip Bayliss are two and three).

Is it just me or is MikeTirico the luckiest dude ever? He has no voice, no distinct talent or style and this guy is doing Monday Night Football and his own radio show. Even more of an enigma, how in the hell did Tony Kornheiser wind up in the announce booth? Please, bring back Keith Jackson, Howard Cossel and Dandy Don(yes I know Cossel is dead).

I am a promotions writer/producer for Fox News Chicago. My job is getting people to watch our 9pm news. I spent twenty years on the air as a newscaster, then sportscaster. On the weekends, I am a talent coach, spending that time helping others get started in broadcasting. Prior to being on-air, I did stand-up comedy in the Catskill Mountains of New York. I also wrote for people like Joan Rivers when I gave guided tours at the NBC Studios in New York (she paid pretty well). When I'm not working, I like to play golf and bowl. I love tennis but who can run that fast any more? I also like movies and plays and this is getting far too sappy.
