I will be leaving soon for the OKC Airport to catch a Southwest Airlines flight to St. Louis and then drive over to the University of Missouri to attend my first ever game in Columbia, Missouri. The Sooners-Tigers game can be seen on ABC TV Saturday morning at 11 central time and you may notice a guy in a black hat on the OU sideline. That would be yours truly. (more…)
I will be soon heading to Columbia, Missouri to catch the OU-Mizzou game Saturday morning and then will be driving almost 300 miles up to Moline, Illinois for Monday’s Raw. I thought before I began my journey I would answer some of your emails. (more…)
This past Monday night in Chicago at the sold out All State Arena 9 members of the Chicago Bears sat at ringside including former Oklahoma Sooners Tommie Harris and Dusty Dvoracek who were there to enjoy the WWE and to say hello to longtime friend and Sooner Fan Jim Ross. (more…)
Chris- OU vs. Army might be a nice game but OU vs. Notre Dame is big money. I don’t Edge/Orton with the nWo. That the old apples vs. oranges analogy.
Ross- It would seem inevitable that The Undertaker and Kane would be teaming together at some point on Smackdown. I don’t like the chances of the opposition for The Deadman and Kane. (more…)
It is hard to believe that the WWE produced its 700th episode of Monday Night Raw this week from the All State Arena in Chicago. It’s even harder to believe that yours truly has been a part of most of those broadcasts with the occasional “interruption of service” that I have experienced along the way.
I have read where some have taken the WWE and yours truly to task about us saying that Monday Night Raw is the longest running, weekly entertainment broadcast in television history. That was a producer’s note I was briefed on a few hours prior to the broadcast and I assume it is totally accurate or I would not have been provided the information to use on the air. (more…)
I love this time of the year. It’s football season and it is football weather!! Gosh it is great to be alive and living in Oklahoma.
For almost 20 years, I spend every Friday night during football season wearing an officials uniform and enjoying the Friday night lights of Oklahoma high school football. I had more fun doing it than just about anything I have ever done in my life. I miss it every week during the season. (more…)
Sam Smith- I had no issues whatsoever with any Foley matches this year. Mick is one of my all time favorites and has provided me with some in ring and out of ring memories I will never forget. Mother Nature and Mick’s lack of being able to wrestle full time is Mick’s biggest enemy. When Mick is motivated about a particular topic no one delivers a more passionate interview or gives more effort in a match. Mick Foley is a future Hall of Famer and I can’t wait to read his next book.
Vanilla Wafa- Nice name by the way. I have no idea if there will be another draft lottery but they certainly make for interesting TV. Gunner Scott was released for reasons unknown to me but I know he was a hard worker and not a problem child. Scott was given ample opportunity to “make it”. Kane, no matter where he might locker, will always be an asset to any brand or locker room. Kane is a stallion and a credit to any company. (more…)
It was great to see my friend Stone Cold Steve Austin Sunday in Los Angeles prior to the taping of Monday Night RAW.
Steve looks to be in as good a physical shape as he has been in years and it is easy to tell the “Texas Rattlesnake” is still working out regularly and takes his diet and physical fitness seriously. (more…)
Just got home this morning at 9 on a lovely red eye flight from LAX after taping RAW at the Staples Center last night. I am really looking forward to watching the show tonight “from the comfort of my own home”. The 17,000 plus sell out crowd was a real asset to the show. Thanks, LA.
Here’s some email feedback before I take another nap: (more…)
JBL- If that is your “real name”, no I am not a huge fan of herpes jokes but I must admit there were times Monday night that you were entertaining as hell. One thing is for sure, the producers will never put us together because they would have to have an interpreter and a hat rack!
Anthony- Jonathan Coachman’s title is “Executive Assistant” to the Chairman. Coach also works part time for CSTV doing sports play by play and studio work and does a great job at both. (more…)
