good morning.

this morning i spent an hour interviewing, via phone, this man, while he was driving up to new england to prep for doing the play-by-play for the jets-pats playoff game on sunday (after talking to me, he was going to meet with belichick at 10, and brady at 10.30!). (i should mention the interview was for a story on the ncaaa basketball tourney, not football.)

bro-ham's one of two men to host a Super Bowl, announce an NCAA Men's Basketball Championship game, and host coverage of The Masters (brent musberger's the other). i've been listening to his voice cloaking seminal sporting events for as long as i can remember. he'll be doing this year's super bowl, for chrissakes.

i now have a 45 minute tape of him and myself talking, and since he called me from his cell, i have his friggin cell phone number in my contacts. pretty great stuff. he was super nice. im quite pleased.

also, not for nuthin, but it's 58 degrees in nyc right now, the morning of jan. 5. that's a little weird.
