Humbled and grateful on WLW

I don't want to make a big deal about this, so I'll be brief. Most who know me even a little wouldn't describe me as humble. Only now, I am. The SportsTalk gig is one of the best local talk jobs in the country. To be mentioned in the same breath w/people like Jim Scott, Mike McConnell and, yeah, even Cunningham, is an honor. I have no idea how I'll do. Away from print, I'm introverted, introspective and, during most work days, accustomed to dealing only with my laptop and my dog. Having to be "on'' 5 nights a week will be a new experience.

I look forward to it. I hope the show will inform as much as it entertains. I'd like the show to stray occasionally from sports, if only because I stray occasionally from sports. When I told John Kiesewetter for the paper that it isn't about me, I meant it. It's your show. I have opinions, but I won't ignore or belittle yours. Half the time, you're smarter than I am. I'm just the lucky one who gets paid to type and run his mouth. Anyway, thanks for listening. Call often. Let's have some fun.
