Jerry Petuck of 620 WDAE Tampa Bay's Sports Animal

About Me

I'm a 10 year veteran of the sports radio world here in Tampa, FL on 620 WDAE, "The Sports Animal" (Clear Channel) where I'm an anchor and produce the number one rated afternoon drive time show in the market, the "Big Dog" Steve Duemig, weekdays from 3-7pm.

In the past, I've done freelance work for ABC Sports Radio, ESPN Radio, Fox Sports Radio, Sirius Satellite Radio, Pro Football Weekly, as well as several sports talk radio stations nationwide and radio networks of NFL teams.

I'm the producer for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Radio Network, as well as the Tampa Bay Lightning Radio Network.

I've also done some work at US 103.5, Tampa Bay's newest and best country radio station.

When I'm not working, obviously, I'm seriously into my music. I'm a country boy at heart, and have been the front man of a couple of local bands here in Tampa, as well as traveling up to Nashville for some projects in the past.

There could be some interesting things happening in the near future. You just never know where I could end up. : )

When I was a kid, a wise person once told me, "The biggest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearful you'll make one."

That's the best advice I've ever received, and the best advice I could ever give. It's taken me 29+ years to figure out just how true that one simple line is.

Thanks to everyone who has always been there for me. I've learned that family isn't always who you're stuck with, but who you make it with. To you special people, and you know who you are.......Thank you.

God Bless

Jerry Petuck

A Long Week

Guys, I just want to say quick "Thank You" to everyone I heard from this week. I've been pretty cryptic about what's been going on, just because frankly, I've been really concerned and I didn't want a...

Christmas

It's that time of the year again. This year has been interesting to say the least, and I suppose just the fact that I'm here to see Christmas is a blessing in itself. The month from Thanksgiving to Ch...
