SPORTS – Brett is an NFL player agent representing many great players through Tessler Sports Management in Weston, FL.

We uncover and clarify a few myths and misunderstandings about salaries and sports money. Enjoy this candid discussion with a “big shot” who actually truly cares about the people he represents! Catch him on 940AM WINZ “The Sports Animal” every Tuesday morning with Jeff “Defo” Deforrest.

RADIO – During this interview this old chum and I discovered that it was 30 years ago almost to the day that we first met at the WSHE/WSRF trailer park! One of the wily vets of South Florida radio history relives the days starting out in Ft. Pierce, FL and stints at WSHE, WHYI and WMXJ.

I expected this episode to be a silly and “ROTFL-like” and instead we had an almost entirely serious discussion about the radio industry.  Ron’s “pipes” and creative work can be heard on WFTL 850 AM . I think we found the perfect guy to interview me for show #100! Visit Ron’s facebook page here.

MUSIC FRIDAY – In celebration of his latest touring project “Dennis DeYoung and the Music of Styx”, the gifted singer / keyboardist / songwriter shares memories of early Styx, the inside scoop on his relationship with Tommy Shaw, secrets about his craft, touring in his 60s and his witty sarcastic humor! He’s calling this new tour a Styx greatest hits show. We feature two of Dennis’  songs from his 2007 solo album “100 Years From Now”. Tour dates and much more info can be easily found at DennisDeYoung.com

SPORTS/CHARITY – The Hurricanes of Miami have a special loyal fan named Shelton Douthett. His touching story is one that reminds us of what’s really important. By honoring his brother Wayne’s legacy at each UofM game he also spreads awareness and puts smiles on many faces. Many of you South Floridians are aware of this Carol City High School grad and his connection to The U already. The rest of you sit back and get inspired by this kid with a great heart and a great message.
