(Lord knows, everybody in my life, especially my wife & child, get enough of it off-air. It's sad when one of the first complete sentences your child successfully says as a two-year-old is "The Dolphins are playing like a bunch of jackasses.")<BR/>Seriously, I consume a lot of sports-talk radio from a lot of areas in the country, thanks to the Web, and your show was one of the best. You always have good topics, good information, strong opinions, and the ability to examine all sides of an issue and find the one thing you feel strongly about, and deliver an entire segment about it, then switch up quickly without losing a beat. You could always fill two hours without a single phone call or e-mail, which shows you care about your show, you do your homework, and you recognize that people want to hear good talk, not somebody whine at their audience to call and say things like "Why are there no phone calls?".<BR/>I'd like to call every day if I could, but besides having a full-time job, I also realize I'm the only person on the planet that wants to hear my opinions on all things sports, and even I get sick of myself sometimes, so I know my place, which is call or e-mail only when I had something decent to contribute.<BR/>Thanks for letting me on-air and reading my e-mails. I tried to be different and have some fun with it.<BR/>I look forward to reading your blog and I wish you the best!Jeremiahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15860192540513088663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1995185573026568076.post-52193710953908539952008-05-11T20:58:00.000-04:002008-05-11T20:58:00.000-04:00I remember one end of year situation where you wer...I remember one end of year situation where you were broadcasting from Selmon's in Tampa. I think you were down for The Hall Of Fame Game or perhaps by then it was The Outback Game. Anyway, I had never had the chance to hear my nephew broadcast so went to Selmon's with your permission to sit in for a little while as you were on the air. We said our howdies, did a little family talk, and then it was time for you to go on. You had a single sheet of paper in front of you with minimal notes and proceeded to do 20 minutes of some or the most amazingly insightful, interesting, yet still entertaining sports radio I had ever heard. I had to leave at that point, but knew that you would not need any help from me so no problem...lol. I have told many people since that if all sports radio personalities were the caliber of my nephew there would be a plethora of sports radio stations all across the country. I meant it then and I mean it today. Now that I am finally retired I will at last be able to listen to you on a daily basis or as often as your aunt Darlene lets me.....lol. I know that Gainesville is truly going to miss you. I also know that Columbia is getting the best in the biz.

They are lucky to have you.<BR/><BR/>If we have to deal with regularly scheduled guest appearances...then I guess we will.<BR/><BR/>Even the majestic of Oak must wither away eventually, and return to the soil from which it sprung.

It is a great loss for gainesville and the gator nation. First spurrier and now you, man it hurts :) Glad about the site though- thanks for all your hard work!!!!scubagatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18347869922080261224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1995185573026568076.post-23684120659503187122008-05-09T13:22:00.001-04:002008-05-09T13:22:00.001-04:00Thanks for your professionalism over the years, yo...Thanks for your professionalism over the years, you have been my favorite talk show guy for years, once Buddy Martin left GGG/MOP. I will miss your fact based approach to sports news. I appreciate you bucking the trend toward knowing less and sensationalizing absolutely everything.<BR/>Good luck in SC, I hope to be a regular internet listener to your new show. Best wishes & Godspeed.gatorjjhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11735086527382603816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1995185573026568076.post-50681857770718711482008-05-09T13:22:00.000-04:002008-05-09T13:22:00.000-04:00It's sad to hear that your leaving, but I complete...It's sad to hear that your leaving, but I completely understand your motives and wish you the best during your days in Carolina.<BR/><BR/>You are a brilliant radio personality, atypical of the common sports jockey who revels in sarcasm and situational prejudice. You are well-read and thoroughly researched, and I have come to value your opinions over the years.<BR/><BR/>I have complete faith that you'll carry the tradition of quality that you created here to every opportunity you're given in life. Please keep in touch with your Gainesville brethren, and break a leg in all your future endeavors.Matt Tischlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06151418310565251954noreply@blogger.com
