About Me

Hello there... I'm a 18-year radio vet... done some news, done some comedy, some play-by-play, had an oh so short stint with the Rams Radio Network and now I'm in my second tour of duty for Cardinals flagship station KTRS. I'm trying to cultivate a personal life after being married to my career.....

My Interests

I love St. Louis Rams football (well that's been hard lately in the Linehan era.. bring back Mike Martz!!!), Illini sports (save the Chief), the Redbirds, the Blues, kareoke, fighter jets and World War II aircraft. I'm a history buff.. I love WWII and love talking to vets. One of the most rewarding things I ever did was play a small role in helping the group that built the Illinois World War II Veteran's Memorial... what a great bunch of guys. I love to travel, but never seem to have enough cash to do a whole lot of it....

I'd like to meet:

I've been around a few famous people, but haven't exactly hung out with them... so fame doesn't excite me as much as the next person... so I'll think with my testosterone.... Kate Beckinsale, Rachel MacAdams (stood next to her, but never had an opportunity to talk or say high), Eva Mendes, Catherine Zeta Jones, Rachel Weisz, Elizabeth Vargas, Robin Meade, Jennifer Nettles of Sugarland, Lucy Liu,. Eva Longoria, Kim Cattral, Kristin Davis, Elizabeth Banks, Barbara Bermudo, Constance Marie, JLO, Sarah Silverman, Fran Drescher, Kelly Ripa (she's funny as Hell)

Books:

Heroes:

Longtime Cardinal broadcaster JACK BUCK... He's the primary reason I got into the radio business... nothing but class... even when he battled more health issues than Job... he still sounded amazing to me... I will never forget the courage and conviction he showed at the first game after 9/11... Plus he was a WWII vet to boot... This guy did a bunch of charity work in and out of the public eye... and used his fame for good... My favorite athletes past and present include the Bus, Jerome Bettis, Marshall Faulk, Dan Dierdorf, Roger Wehrli, Jackie Smith, Walter Payton, Kurt Warner, Roger Staubach, Jack Clark, Keith Hernandez, Bruce Sutter, Ozzie Smith, Joaquin Andujar, Trent Green, Isaac Bruce, Torry Holt, Brett Hull, Al MacInnis, Mike Liut, Bernie Federko, Nick Anderson and London Fletcher to name a few. Walter Kronkite is larger than life... Just about any veteran... it makes me sick when I see 'Nam era vets who weren't helped in their adjustment back to the homefront.. and they walk around this country homeless.. how assinine...

Patriots fall by 3 as I predicted

Well now my prediction of a Giants victory has been achieved.  I didn't just come to that conclusion based on a dislike of the Pats.. but seeing what this Giant defense did to good offenses and g...

Super Bowl Pre-Game crap!!!!

NFL Hall of Famers-Art Monk yes.. Tagliabue no.

Finally... a player gets his fair due.  Art Monk has been elected to the Hall of Fame and it was overdue.  Maybe he didn't have gaudy stats.. a situation Lynn Swann faced... but he was one o...

Cheating Ass Patriots

So there is growing evidence the Patriots taped the Rams final practice before the Super Bowl a few years back.  Already they knew Paul Tagliabue wasn't fond of enforcing rules aka calling penalt...

More Reasons Why I hate the Patriots and their "local" fans!
