People know I have a wife and three children, and I'm the only one who could check the white box on a census form. It's a part of my life and part of the sports world, and I think it is important to talk about it. After struggling in the monthly Nielsen Audio ratings for several months against sports talk rival KBME AM , the "In the Loop" show hosted by Wright and Lopez with producer Jim Mudd and sports director Robert Henslee has regained the lead in morning drive against Houston's four all-sports stations.
While he looks forward to the new job, Wright said he will miss working at KILT, noting in particular his morning show colleagues and fellow Syracuse alumnus Mike Meltser, who hosts for the station at middays. We were able to put together a successful straightforward sports show my first year and a half and then with Robert and Jim do more of a lighter, funnier show.
Wright attracted notice on occasion for testy on-air exchanges, including one with University of Houston football coach Tom Herman regarding a story reported by his co-anchor Lopez. He said he also had some anxious moments when he was questioned by authorities on how he obtained a police report in the Adrian Peterson child abuse case in Montgomery County and thanked station officials for helping him resolve that situation.
As he prepares to wrap up his time in Houston, Wright said he never set out to incite some of the hard feelings that he said listeners have expressed to him via calls or text messages when he took more outspoken stances on social issues.
But in the moment, I feel that if you don't agree with me that it must be because you don't understand what I am saying. I know that I might be wrong, but in the moment, it's impossible for me to see where I might be wrong. Most Popular. I would be totally shocked if Soren left UB for Entercom. There is something to said for that, regardless of what you think of their shows. Retiring with enough money to enjoy your hobby?

My God, I don't think that our team even exists outside of Kansas City. I was appalled that the Ken Burns series didn't even give the Royals a nod for the good years from - They conveniently skip from to , and the only thing that the series mentioned about was Pete Rose getting caught gambling. Wow, man, Wow. Just like the Royals trading away their good players, the sports radio and sports media can only follow suit.
