It will link [you] to [your] community in a different way [from that of newspapers]. That it will be more intimate, more fun. It's not as lonely as writing. Writing is just you and a computer, and that it's not communal in any way. Radio is much more intimate.

He still hots the same show as Stugotz on ESPN. Along with the show, he frequently contributes to a number of shows on ESPN Network such as Outside the Lines, The Sports Reporters, and College GameDay.
