RIP Dave Anderson

It was January 2002 and Dave wrote a piece calling out Brett Favre for taking a dive for Strahan. I had been in sports radio for all of 4 months and I thought I would get him on our show. I never had planned on being in radio, went to college for education, but I ended up being a natural (a bit of a blowhard but I ended that shtick in a hurry). My partner had been in the business from the start of sports talk in Wisconsin and he told me that I wouldn't be able to get him on the show. I called his office phone and he answered, I asked if he would join us later and he said he would gladly join us. He gave me his home number to call later that day and he was an absolute joy to chat with. He ended up joining me a number of times over the years. I just remember going home that night and feeling as if I was that much closer to being great because I had spent 15 minutes talking football with Dave Anderson. RIP to a very nice man.
