Sitting here at radio row waiting for another show from the Convention Center in downtown Tampa. Today seems much busier than the past two with former players like Phil Simms, Joe Montana and current stars like Brandon Jacobs and Jason Whitten walking around. Had a fun night last night going to see the Tampa Bay Lightning/Montreal Canadians game. Our good friend Rick Tocchet left us some tickets and myself, Ash, E, Johnny V and our technical guy Aaron headed over to the game right after the show was over. We had some passes for the Channelside/XO VIP Club so we ate for a little bit and then sat in our seats to watch the Lightning beat Montreal 5-3. Eric Sorenson our producer who we call E is not a hockey fan but he loved it and has adopted Tampa Bay as his favorite team and Vinny Lecavlier as his favorite player. And since the Lightning won and scored four goals our tickets are worth a free Chick-Fil-A sandwich, which is E’s favorite place to eat. We ate lunch today at Eddie and Sam’s New York Pizza for the third straight day - the boys can’t get enough of it. They bring in the water from New York.

We had a good guest list yesterday of guys on radio row like Doug Williams, Lee Roy Selmon, Barret Ruud of the Bucs , John Mitchell the Steelers D-line coach. Tonight we are eating at Lee Roy Selmon’s restaurant in downtown Tampa. Ash and I did a segment with ESPN radio in Pittsburgh today and we were asked a lot about the level of excitement in Arizona over the Cardinals. Most of the talk about the game is focused on the Steelers defense and the Cardinals offense. There are some great Michigan connections as seven players between the teams played for the Wolverines. LaMar Woodley and Steve Breaston went out to dinner last night. To date we have not run into a Cardinal fan. Now, hopefully they are all coming to town on Friday. But we did see a guy wearing a Patriots jersey and Yankee hat which should be illegal. We found a Bally’s gym down the block from our hotel and Ash and I got an hour to work out this morning. Gotta run for now, need to tape an interview with Mike Ditka…..
