Hi There. It will be nice to return to my usual 2 to 7pm air slot. If you think doing what Dan and Pete do in the morning is easy, it's not. Plus doing the show alone makes it even harder. It really is a two man operation. There is a lot of prep work and organization behind the scenes before the mic turns on for the first time between 6:05 and 6:10am and the pace of the show is demanding. Come in and see for yourself. You can't do the Morning Club if you're organizationally challenged. The pace becomes even more frenetic when there are school closings. I was real happy with the nice weather that occurred while the boys were gone. Jim Scott gave me a piece of good advice on how to handle having to be up at 4am and arrive at the radio station around 5. It's called the afternoon power nap. It became my best friend Tuesday night when we had a basketball game on WWSC and even more so Wednesday night going to pick up my Dad at the airport at 10:30pm . I missed seeing the guys and their wives getting off the plane back from Vegas by 5 minutes. I was on the bridge heading to the parking garage when it touched down and arrived at the terminal.
On to other things. I'm starting with UConn coach Jim Calhoun and his rant after last weekend's game against South Florida. Some political activist idiot named Ken Krayeske asked the coach to justify his salary during Connecticut's economic troubles and how he's highest paid employee of the state. I'm defending the Coach on this one. You win a game and the first question thrown at you had nothing to do with what happened on the floor. Mr. Krayeske shouldn't have been allowed in the post game news conference to begin with. He was granted a photo pass. It was not the time and place to ask that question and Jim Calhoun showed great restraint before going off on that moron. Yet Jim Calhoun should be reprimanding and forced to apologize for his actions? It would be like me going to a news conference featuring a well known politician and asking a question of that politician that had nothing to do with why he or she was there to begin with.
Eldrick the Gimp returned to the PGA tour and all is well with the golfing world. Oh wait a minute, it isn't. He lost in the second round to Tim Clark at the Accenture Match Play Championship.
Speaking of returns, Marty Brodeur is back between the pipes for the Devils. Scotty Clemmensen plays lights out for 50 games and what does he get for his troubles? A trip back to Lowell, the garden spot of Massachusetts. Is it just me or do the New Jersey Devils have the personality of a wet fart? They're not the most exciting thing the NHL has going for them, but they win and that is all that matters.
On the other side of the Hudson, the Rangers canned Tom Renney. Nice guy who had no goal scoring what so ever. You can't replace Jaromir Jagr, Marty Straka, and Sean "The Pest" Avery and expect to be the high flying Edmonton Oiler teams of the 1980's.
Well I didn't get TiVo in time so I missed recording the Academy Awards and the 8 honors for Slumdog Millionaire. At least the host was cool. Hugh Jackman. That's right Wolverine from the X-Men movies. I also missed the season finale of "Top Chef." Don't tell me who won. They'll be showing it plenty of times.
Would someone please tell Nadya Suleman and her 8 newborn kids that the 15 seconds of fame are up. Enough already. Adult movie offers, appearances on Dr. Phil. Am I missing anything? To quote Susan Powter, "Stop the Insanity!"
Welcome back Dan and Pete, while you're recovering from the jet lag, I'm going to re-adjust my body clock to getting up at a reasonable hour...Leccese out.
