    I knew a guy* who to his dying day despised John Ward because - by his telling - he had all but reached an agreement to be the Voice of the Vols and Ward somehow back doored him at the 11th hour. He was a very prominent radio guy at the time. I don't know if it's true or not, but in his version of the story that's what happened.

    *I won't give his name because I promise you that you'd recognize the family name associated with broadcasting.

    The Florida humidity must have warped you. Kesling makes an error on every play. Every. Play! He was terrible on football (I don’t listen to him on hoops)

    I had to look it up. Ward started calling football in 1968, three years after starting with basketball. I just assumed they handed him the mic the day after Noah docked the ark.

    Another thing about Mike Keith moving east is he will be reunited with Pat Ryan, who was his first color analyst with the Titans.

    Also, I am old enough to remember Bob Kesling as the sports anchor on WBIR in the 80s. I’d have sworn he was in his mid 40s then, which means I overshot it by a good 15-plus years.

    The guy had TJ surgery this month. No way is he ready for 2025.
