Thursday on The Sportsline with Rich and Larry only 4 days and
counting
before double R and the Legend begin broadcasting from their
new digs at ESPN Radio in Lynchburg, located on the dial at 93.3 FM or
1320 AM. R&R open up the show by running down the new developments
in the Michael Vick situation ... including more of the dregs of
society coming forward to implicate Vick in different dogfights, plus a
new haircut for Vick (since the Falcons have apparently just won the
Superbowl!) and AirTran dumping him as a spokesman. A few listeners
also checked in to share some of their favorite memories of the show
over the past decade on WLNI as The Sportsline gets ready to make the
jump to bigger and better things.
Another
caller checked in to rip Michael Vick and the Vicks in general. Said
he wouldn't mind seeing Michael and Marcus thrown into a pit to fight
it out. Larry's $$$ is on Marcus ... Double R took Michael feeling
that Marcus has been pampered his whole life and hasn't learned how to
fight for anything. R&R also spent some time looking back and
playing some promos that unbelievably didn't make the cut for Friday's
show ... including the UVA fan who called Sportsline guests at home
after their appearance on the show and the now infamous NJ promos.
Sportsline
Historian Wes checked in with a history moment about how one year ago
in 2006, his calendar was called on for the first time to check and see
if Shady Sean had been give a nickname prior to Shady. NBC Hockey
Analyst Ed Olczyk also checked in to talk some pucks. Game 3 is a must
win game for Ottawa being down 2-0 in the Stanley Cup Finals ... but
Olczyk also talked about how hockey is bouncing back from its lockout a
few years ago ... and he thinks the sports future looks bright.
Another
promo ... with the Legend accusing Double R of kissing George Welsh's
butt preceded ESPN Racing Analyst Stacy Compton's appearance on the
show. R&R played a promo from many years ago when Stacy was in
studio talking about forgetting sponsors names. Stacy also talked
about the impending birth of his second child ... and getting to run at
one of his favorite tracks ... Dover ... this weekend.
