After 13 years at @ESPNRadio I was part of the layoffs today Thank you to all the co-workers who made the job a blast & odd hours seem normal. Thanks to all the hosts that entertained me while making me a better producer. Will cherish my time there forever. On to bigger & better.
When you work at ESPN Radio, you climb up the ranks, usually starting with the worst shifts and working your way up to prime spots. At one point in my career I thought I was done with "the climb" and was just waiting for my spot to open in a prime spot...
At my kids soccer game. A lot of dads are looking at me. Some smiling. Some nodding. Some even grabbing attention of another and pointing. Kept checking to see if i had something hanging out or a hole somewhere. Nope. It was jealousy @mikegolicjr
One thing you can’t buy is time. But I’d be really weird 6 year old.
Kid: you want to play ninja turtles
Me: maybe later, but what do you think Rodgers is gonna do after this year? Big cap hit for whoever grabs him
Kid: you’re weird
Me: your mom is on pills
A lot can be said about the people I used to work w/ at espn who lost their jobs today. But nobody did more for me when I lost my job than @jasonfitz a true great person who happens to be highly entertaining talking about sports. Whoever hires him prepare to get my resume as well
and enjoying every minute with you and Marv and Hood. My mom is up in the Heaven cancer wing Jeff, and she has a drink waiting for you to thank you for the way you helped her son. Thanks Jeff. I'll miss you.
Happy anniversary to my lovely wife and the mother of 2 amazing boys. It’s amazing how you put up with me, the boys, my job search, being an amazing teacher and everything else you deal with every day.
