Open Air With Tom Remington Broadcast For May 1, 2008

Today’s show went off without any glitches…..I don’t think. I gave a heads up to all my friends in Northern Maine who may be suffering from the floodwaters of the St. John River. I wanted to let them know they were in my thoughts and prayers. I also shared some of my personal experiences of visiting “The County”.

I also shared my experiences of last weekend attending a three-game home set of baseball games between the Tampa Bay Rays and Boston Red Sox at Tropicana Field. The Rays swept the series of which I never thought I would live long enough to see that. Last year during the early part of the season, I witnessed the Rays sweep the New York Yankees in three games. That was sweet.

I spent a great deal of time talking about the first time I, as a non-subscriber of cable television, got to watch my first episode of CostasNow featuring longtime sports icon Bob Costas. Wow! Was I surprised as Costas talked with sports writer Buzz Bissinger and founder/writer/blogger Will Leitch from Deadspin.com.

It was quite amazing to watch the interaction between a 40-year veteran sports journalist of the old world so proud of his years of “perfecting his craft” attempt to put down a bright and quick witted young Leitch that presents sports in a completely, and I mean completely, different light.

At the end of the show, I have a little surprise for you and a preview of an upcoming show.
