Have always tried to be honest with the radio & TV audience. So will do that now also: I have cancer-and will be off the
#Padres

I’ll be honest. It really hit me today that I will NOT be in the radio booth for my

Ok I tried. Watched part of Chargers Sunday and will NEVER again. 1. It breaks my heart they’re in LA. We loved them-LA doesn’t care. 90% Steelers fans for a home game. 2. They’re bad. 3. Wear powder blues regularly now but not here. 4. Only connection-Philip! No more for me
