I, Glenn took over the hosting duties and did the show solo as Brock as MIA. He will be back next week as I will be covering the Ohio State/Toledo game. Speaking of OSU, I previewed the OSU/USC game as well as some other big college football games. The Cleveland Browns/Minnesota Vikings game was also previewed, and I gave his NFL Week 1 picks. Let’s see how I do!
While ranting about the Cleveland Indians, former Atlanta Falcons running back, JAMAL ANDERSON called in the show! Twitter is an amazing thing! Jamal and I talked about the OSU/USC game, why there should be a playoff system in college football, and also hit on new social media hitting the sports world.
Also, thanks for making “The Dugout Sports Show” one of the highest rated/downloaded show in just our first month on SportsTalk Cleveland. And don’t forget, our show is on ITunes!
Finally, check out “Sports Media 360″, a social media convention I’m hosting here in Cleveland during the weekend of October 23-25! Get your tickets!
