Video killed the radio star, and radio nearly killed me

mazur.jpgI now am about two hours into my self-imposed, week-long ban on listening to any radio other than music.

I feel cleansed and refocused and like an all-around better human.

Please let me know if anything crazy happens in the sports talk world this week.

(I assume I'm not allowed to watch the YES simulcast of Francesa/Russo. That would be cheating, right?)

Bonus WatchDog kudos to the first person who fully explains what the guy on the right has to do with this subject.

That would be Bill Mazer, whose late afternoon sports talk show on WNBC radio was the first of its type for those of us who grew up in the 1960s.

Channel 2's first sports department consisted of radio veterans Roger Baker and Bill Mazer. He (Bill Mazer) also hosted a short-lived “Buffalo 2-Nite” variety hour.

Mike McCann: Congrats! We have a winner!

The situation we are in now is all Bill M.'s fault!

also espn ripped of his old sports extra show.does anybody remember the theme song from that show?

whatever happened to carl white?

Neil where do you get these old photo's ?

Michael: Top secret!

For next week: is there real resentment between Fatso and Froot Loops, since the Angry Puppy has had some national exposure recently, or is it really truly an act like an old Jack Benny "feud" from 65 years ago ...
PS Mazer's still around. I used to like the "Stump the Amazin'" segment on Channel 5 before it turned into Australian Rules News.
