Sports talk radio host in Cleveland, New York and San Francisco.

Often credited with inventing "modern" sports talk. He could be loud, brash, opinionated, controversial. But the guy knew sports. He was a lot of fun.

His heyday was in the 1970's in Cleveland at 50,000 watt WWWE. His broadcasts could reach 30+ states and half of Canada on a good night.
