"Mr. Ass" Tim Burkholder
Tim Burkholder is back on board with The Sportsline for his second stint with the show . . . and Rich and Larry welcomed him back with open arms. During his first go round with The Sportsline, Tim worked with the past regime in which Rich was paired up with Bob Sturm.

It was at that time that Tim received the nickname . . . Mr. Ass. It wasn’t a nickname that was designed to be sexy or perverted or by any means gay . . . you see it all derived from a sticker Tim had on his truck. Tim was driving a little white truck that had a bug guard running all the way across the hood. On that bug shield was a sticker that read “Bad Ass Boys Drive Bad Ass Toys”. One afternoon as Rich and Bob were leaving the studios, they spotted the truck and the sticker. The next day, Tim had his nickname … Mr. Ass. And few days after that … the sticker was gone.

After leaving the show during his first go-round, Mr. Ass got hitched. No little asses running around the Burkholder house as of yet … although Tim does claim that he and Mrs. Ass are practicing furiously.

During his hiatus from the show, Tim stayed in touch with the show, as all former employees are encouraged to do, and when he heard about the expansion of the show and the need for more help … Mr. Ass was more than willing to come back aboard. This time however, Double R and the Legend hope that when given an assignment in the future, Tim will carry it out. Unlike the first go round, when Tim was sent to Martinsville to cover a NASCAR race . . . yet he left the recording device necessary to complete his mission . . . at home.
