Hey Gang---

Pack your bags and adjust the travel itinerary....... because the Seattle SuperSonics are no more!!!!  Seems that the NBA board of governors has approved a move for the franchise from Seattle to Oklahoma City?!?!!  The Oklahoma City Sonics???  I may be able to get used to that-- looks like it's another jersey for Kevin Durant to take off on that  commercial spot..... and speaking of jerseys, this is a great time for the Sonics to ditch that radioactive green and yellow motif--- but let's also think about what this means for NBA teams--- no more trips way into the western time zone, and the league gets the chance to muscle it's way into the Plains states...... What do you think about the move???  Cool with it?? or steamed like former Sonics guard "Slick" Watts' head after catching fire in the 4th quarter??

Log on and let me know!!!

I came to Fox 2 in 1998 after spending time in the Sunshine State. My career began while I was at the University of Miami and I tried out for 3rd base on the Miami Hurricanes baseball team as a "walk on"!!! I was the last guy cut that season and I decided then that if I couldn't make the team I was going to stay close to the program.... so in addition to being the program director at the campus radio station-- WVUM, I also helped start up the campus cable television network... and that led to a job as a Cameraman shooting sports for local station WCIX. I caught a break when I was offered a chance to go "on air"..... That chance allowed me to secure the weekend spot at WFOR in Miami, Florida and then I made the jump to Motown. This city is one of the best sports towns in the nation and I'm pleased as punch to be a part of the magic. I think that the Sports Staff at Fox 2 is the best, and we always strive for excellence. There's no phony baloney, sing along jingles or "video arcades" here-- just straight sports presented in a truly creative way..... That's how I like it, and if you feel that way too, then I'll see you at 5, 6, and 10 for our daily broadcasts-- and Sportsworks Sunday Night, right here on FOX 2!!
