Craig opens today’s show with a heartfelt tribute to Pete Medhurst, who passed away last night after a short battle with brain cancer. Pete was a beloved figure in D.C. sports radio, a longtime presence at 106.7 The Fan, and later a full-time host at Team 980. He was a gifted broadcaster who lived his dream of calling Nationals games and served as the voice of Navy athletics. Craig reflects on Pete’s incredible career, his versatility as a broadcaster, and his passion for sports that made him a cherished colleague and friend.
