Sometimes, getting stuck in a horrendous traffic jam is not altogether bad – like when Jim Nantz is on the radio. Yesterday, we heard arguably the most riveting and moving sports radio “interview” (we’re using the quotes because Nantz was hardly asked any questions; he basically told stories to Mike & the Mad Dog for 45 minutes) we can recall. Among the many highlights: Playing golf with Sean Connery, getting phone calls from the President, and winning a coveted CBS network TV gig at the ripe old age of 26 (over Roy Firestone). It was some truly captivating stuff. It’s all in his new book, which he’s going on the road to promote. While we’re not in the business of giving people free publicity, the dude is a gifted storyteller. When he’s in your area, we highly recommend listening to his radio interview. One brief warning: the stuff about his Dad being stricken by Alzheimer’s disease is terribly sad.
