It took 25 years in the business, but now I finally, officially have seen and heard everything.
At about 9:54 a.m., Craig Carton referred several times to Bob Glauber as a "great reporter" on a 50,000-watt radio station.
Dude, he can't even beat me on blog page views!
Seriously, though, Glauber is a great reporter, most recently evidenced by two exclusives cited by Carton: Jerry Reese calling Eli Manning "skittish" and today's story with Tom Rock about the flip side of Spygate. (Glauber repeatedly made me look good during my decade on the Giants beat.)
Carton suggested having Glauber on WFAN Thursday morning, but as Boomer Esiason noted, it's possible Glauber will be unavailable because he is a regular on ESPN's "First Take," and ESPN generally bars its personalities from appearing on competing stations in markets where there is an ESPN affiliate.
Is Glauber a big enough ESPN name to actually fall into that category? Let me know, ESPN. I know you're reading!
Better yet, just invite Rock onto the show and let Glauber spend his time working on his blog.

Dear Neil,
My Christmas wish for you is that the Buffoon and the Cartoon get canceled.
It's really too much to ask of anyone to listen to them! It's cruel and unjust.
As far as I can tell, you're the only one --
And yet you're still THE BEST!
I heard that. I actually like their show.
Neil:
I believe this is the official top to my career. I can't imagine going any higher, especially with an endorsement from the great almighty blogger that you've become. I'm humbled.
Carton and Boomer is an excellet show IMO. They are topical, funny, and come across as "every fan". Much different than Mike and the Maddog who are holier than thou and have lost touch with what the average schmuck is interested in (but I still listen admittedly).
And now with Bob G. on tomorrow, they become "hot" with the hottest journalist in the greater Metro area on the air. If Best can get on to talk Mitchell Report on Friday, WFAN may actually make it here :-)
